Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 192

She didn't expect that Griffin would bring up this matter, she frowned and said: "You're overthinking."

Griffin was a bit anxious, "Ari! You..."

Ariana said with a bit of a headache: "No matter what you think, Lambert is my husband, in essence!"

In essence… they had already...

"You!"

Griffin looked shocked as if he had trouble accepting this fact.

Lambert's expression was slightly restrained, and he took Ariana's hand and left directly.

His pace was quick and although Ariana wasn't left behind, his slightly oppressive aura made her feel somewhat suffocated.

Ariana could feel that Lambert was angry. Originally, the fact that she and Lambert had a fake marriage was a secret between the two of them, but she didn't expect Griffin to guess it all at once.

There was no choice at the time. To avoid misunderstandings, she had to tell Griffin the truth, but he misunderstood it as something else and things got more and more complicated.

Ariana shouted at the tall and aloof figure of Lambert: "Hey! Lambert!"

"...." He didn't respond.

He's actually ignoring her...

Ariana called him a few more times, but Lambert still ignored her.

When they were going up the stairs, she suddenly grabbed Lambert's hand and threw herself at him, kissing him.

Lambert was initially heated, but Ariana's sudden move caught him off guard. They were standing by the stairs; if he were to push Ariana away, she would fall.

Seeing that Lambert did not only refrain from pushing her but instead held her, worried she would fall, she couldn't help but feel smug.

Lambert let go of her, raising his eyebrows unexpectedly, "Playing this card?"

Ariana grinned a bit, "Seems pretty effective, indeed."

He was for a moment speechless, but his irritation did lessen significantly.

Lambert turned to head to the study, Ariana following behind and settling down in a quiet corner, and he took a seat beside her, preparing to handle some work.

She initially wanted to revise and check her research paper, but as Lambert still wore a cold expression, she was momentarily unsure.

Feeling Ariana's gaze on him, he glanced sidelong at her.

"Watching me? Don't you have your thesis to prepare?"

Seeing him acting so indifferent, she irritably began organizing her research paper.

She had just turned on her computer when the interface froze for a moment.

Ariana paused, quickly clicking her mouse, but realized it was unresponsive. Immediately after, her computer automatically restarted.

When the screen came back on, it was completely empty—no files could be found.

"What has happened?"

Ariana was completely stunned, not only because her newly revised paper had disappeared.

She had spent so much time on the paper and it was due this afternoon, if she couldn't get it back, all her efforts would be wasted.

In fact, besides her thesis, there was a significant amount of company information on Ariana's computer. Consequently, the thief's actions were suspected of stealing corporate secrets.

Given the importance of the Stone Group and White Group in the city, the police naturally could not neglect the matter.

In the evening, when Ariana returned home, she sensed an unprecedentedly solemn atmosphere. Old Mr. Stone sat on the sofa, his face gloomy.

Khloe, Aster, and Jolene sat upright, their gazes focused on Ariana. No one dared to speak.

Taking a deep breath, Ariana stepped forward, "Grandfather."

"Kneel!" Old Mr. Stone shouted at Ariana with a glaring look.

Ariana was stunned. Kneel?

Seeing her daughter-in-law being wronged, Jolene quickly pleaded, "Dad, it's already happened, Arididn't mean it."

"She didn't mean it? Even if it was a mistake, it's not acceptable! Do you know the extent of the damage the company would suffer if the company's confidential information gets leaked? Or doesn't she know?" Old Mr. Stone picked up his cane and pointed fiercely at Ariana.

Ariana then realized it was about the leakage of company information. However, this matter was not something she could control.

She studied finance, not computer science.

But in the end, it was her computer that had the problem. She was aware of the seriousness of the issue, so no matter how Grandfather Mu rebuked her today, she would not talk back.

"Grandfather, I'm sorry, I was indeed careless," Ariana lowered her head, apologizing.

Although Ariana had always been proud, she wouldn't absolve herself when she was in the wrong.

"Just a careless mistake and you think it's over? Do you know how important those lost documents are to the company? This time, you must learn your lesson! I want you to kneel, kneel till tomorrow morning!"
