Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 171

Lambert quickly pulled Ariana into his arms, and his uncle also quickly held onto his own wife.

"Let go of me! Let me go!" Aster struggled madly, thinking of something else, she hurriedly said, "With technology so advanced now, how can one prove that this recording is genuine? Furthermore, if I was looking for someone to attack Lambert, would I let it be recorded? Am I a fool?"

With her say, all were momentarily puzzled.

At this moment, Jolene who was patiently enduring, couldn't help but question, "Then, what about the photos of Lambert that you sent to the Stone family?"

Aster vehemently denied, "I didn't! All of you are trying to frame me to exonerate Lambert!"

Old Mr. Stone could no longer tolerate Aster's foolishness, "If you want to prove your innocence, you must provide evidence!"

The evidence presented by Ariana was irrefutable. Aster had nothing that could attest to her innocence, all her words were empty talk.

"Right, if you want everyone to believe you, you should produce evidence convincing enough!" Aunt Khloe, although taking pleasure in Aster's misfortune, still faux-advised.

After all, at present, it's a standoff between Lambert's family and the second uncle's family, whoever loses or wins, it's beneficial to her.

Of course, it's best if the second household loses since Finley is her son's biggest rival.

As for Lambert...

He has already lost a hand, marrying a daughter-in-law who displeases the old man. Moreover, he had cooperated with those old men who had once disgraced the old man.

Seeing an opportunity for herself, Aster quickly said, "The assistant beside Lambert, Assistant Hills! He would know what Lambert has done!"

Ariana glanced in surprise at Lambert, noticing his furrowed eyebrows, her heart tightened. Could it be as she guessed, that Assistant Hills turned against them?

"Summon Assistant Hills!" Old Mr. Stone looked at Lambert, speaking with a slightly heavy tone.

Lambert was about to call when Ariana couldn't help but say, "Even if Assistant Hills comes, can he prove that the photos are fake?"

"Indeed!" Old Mrs. Stone also felt this request made by Aster was somewhat strange. It couldn't be proven that the photos were fake and she hadn't delivered the envelope!

Feeling Ariana's apparent reluctance, Aster sneered, "Let's wait to prove the reason behind Lambert's collaboration with the rival group before proving if I sent out the envelope."

Khloe looked at Lambert, who was suddenly at a disadvantage, with a hidden smile, "Yeah! If Lambert didn't do it, calling Assistant Hills would clear everyone's doubts."

Jolene felt that her son was being targeted unfairly. She was about to speak but Hugh stopped her.

It wasn't because he didn't want to help, but as a father, he believed Lambert hadn't done it, and he trusted his son's ability to handle this situation from start to finish.

Silently, Lambert picked up his phone and called Assistant Hills who was still at the company.

Seeing Lambert's expression, Ariana started to feel reassured.

Though she wasn't quite sure about the situation, she believed Lambert must have held back something.

The wait was not long, but the atmosphere in the sitting room was heavy, even the servants serving tea held their breath nervously.

When Assistant Hills finally arrived, Aster was the first one to stand up excitedly, eyes sparkling with the light of victory.

She instantly reacted and pointed at Lambert and Ariana, roaring, "You're all teaming up to frame me!"

Aster lost another chance to turn the tables. She was so flustered her face turned red, and her legs were already soft.

Assistant Hills revealed the footage from the restaurant's camera where Aster had previously met with him, saying, "At that time, I knew you wanted to harm the Vice President. So, I temporarily agreed, and then told the Vice President about it. At first, he didn't believe you would do such a thing. He just let me keep an eye on you. Unexpectedly, you really wanted to harm him."

Ariana pretended to be surprised, "I can't believe Aunt would do such a thing."

Old Mrs. Stone couldn't believe her ears, "So, all this evidence, you recorded it?"

"That's right!" Assistant Hills exclaimed!

Now, with solid evidence, Aster was so taken aback that she didn't even have the strength to retaliate.

Old Mr. Stone wore a stony expression, feeling the complete loss of his dignity.

"Go kneel in the ancestral hall. Starting today, you and your husband will temporarily resign from all of your duties!"

Aster, filled with fright, eyes reddening and tears streaming down her face, begged, "Dad... I was wrong! It's okay if you punish me, but my husband didn't do anything! I only did this to bring Finley back sooner! He's been abroad for three years now, hasn't he!"

Old Mr. Stone was in such a state of frustration that he couldn't bear to listen to her explanation, and stood up, intending to ascend the stairs, but was stopped by Ariana's call.

"Grandpa! Do Lambert and I still need to rest?"
