Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 183

Ariana paused, her feelings slightly complicated for a moment. She knew Griffin had returned to the country alone, but it was unexpected that he only contacted her.

She hesitated for a while, feeling a bit of a headache.

After all, Griffin once did her a favor; she couldn't just leave him alone in the bar.

After thinking for a long time, Ariana chose to go out and look for him.

Just as Ariana was about to leave, she turned around and saw Lambert standing behind her, emotionless, staring at her, "Where are you going?"

She paused slightly and subconsciously looked at her cell phone. After hesitating, she said, "Griffin is drunk, so..."

"Why does it have to be you who goes?" Lambert asked, raising an eyebrow.

A bit helpless, Ariana answered, "If I don't go, nobody will. I'm sorry."

Finishing speaking, she moved towards the door, picked up the coat hanging on the rack, and left.

Ariana quickly arrived at the bar where Griffin was drunk, but before she could enter the door, she met five stumblingly drunk men.

She smelled a very unpleasant alcoholic breath, her eyebrows slightly furrowing as she sidestepped them.

One of the big men nearby was attracted by Ariana's elegant demeanor and suddenly came over, blocking her path with his arm.

"Beautiful lady, would you like to have a drink?"

The wave of alcohol nearly made Ariana retch. She withdrew and backed away, but unexpectedly bumped into another man.

That man deliberately let out a painful shriek, and took the opportunity to slide his hand onto her waist, while his eyes were full of sickening lust as he looked at her, "You bump into my arms."

"Sorry!" Ariana seemed slightly uncomfortable as she subtly avoided his hand. However, she knew she could not upset the drunkards, nor was there a need to argue with them too much.

The man she had bumped into laughed and said, "A mere apology won't do for bumping into me! Otherwise, what would we need the police for? Heh heh!"

Ariana raised her brow, "What would you have then?"

The other man gave Ariana a disgusting up-and-down look. "How about this? The beauty has a drink with each of us as an apology!"

"Exactly, exactly!"

Ariana scoffed. To drink with these people, it's feared that she would be too late to do anything else before finishing a single drink.

"I apologize, I didn't come here to drink. My friend is drunk."

"Well, we don't care!" The man she had bumped into laughed and said, "You first finish drinking with us. We won't do anything to you, what's there to be afraid of?"

She raised her brows lightly, "I'm not going to drink, but I can offer you a drink!"

With that, she took out a sum of money from her bag.

The drunkard's eyes brightened seeing so much cash in her hand.

"What is this..."

Ariana retreated a bit, leisurely saying, "This money...consider it an apology from me."

Unexpectedly, the man she had bumped into chuckled and said, "We don’t want your money! As long as you hang out with us, heh heh!"

As he said this, he tried to pull Ariana away forcefully.

The security guard, drawn by the commotion, noticed a group of men surrounding a woman, hesitatingly halting in his tracks.

He recognized these individuals, who were frequent visitors, as notorious local hooligans and thus was too apprehensive to intervene excessively.

"Gentlemen, what's going on over here..."

"Hmm..."

Ariana was about to cry out for help, but the man quickly covered her mouth.

Lambert, seated casually by the bedside on a couch, in his simple attire. His long legs crossed, appearing elegant and relaxed.

She indeed called Lambert right before losing consciousness...

"What happened…"

She held her slightly aching head, suddenly realizing she was supposed to meet Griffin, and hurriedly inquired, "By the way, where's Griffin?"

Upon hearing her concern for Griffin, Lambert's handsome brows slightly furrowed. He calmly replied, "When I arrived, I was told by the bar staff that someone had already picked him up."

"Picked up?"

Ariana was slightly taken aback, she bowed her head in thought. This isn't right!

In theory, aside from herself, there is no one else who could pick up Griffin!

"That's very strange!"

Lambert felt she was overly anxious. "Perhaps one of his subordinates picked him up."

"Perhaps."

Upon hearing Lambert say this, Ariana didn't ponder too much and pushed the matter to the back of her mind.

Suddenly, she noticed a faint bloodstain on Lambert's cuff and asked him in surprise, "What happened to you?"

Lambert dodged her hand and answered indifferently, "It's nothing."

Ariana didn't believe his words. Lambert was trying to hide something. She got off the bed, headed straight in his direction, and ordered sternly, "Let me see!"

Lambert stepped back to avoid her. In response, Ariana reached out to grab his hand with more determination.

Being a man, how could Lambert let Ariana have the upper hand? Thus, Ariana helplessly ended up falling onto him.
