"Mom, this wretched woman, Ariana, is unbearable! You need to help me figure out what to do! I'll lose my mind!"
Beverly's mother elegantly reclined on the sofa, looking at her daughter who had become furious from just a phone call, helplessly shaking her head.
"Ariana and Lambert are deep in love now, even if you're unwilling to accept it, you shouldn't show it in front of Lambert!"
Upon hearing her mother's words, Beverly agitatedly retorted, "So, you want me to pretend to like her very much?"
Lin's mother said, "Griffin isn't a bad choice. There's no need for you to keep clinging to Lambert."
Lambert may be a good option, but given that his relationship with the Stone family is in poor condition due to Ariana, it's unlikely he'll inherit the family's wealth.
Instead of holding onto Lambert, who doesn't like her, why not choose the gentle and kind Griffin?
Upon hearing this, Beverly couldn't help but scoff, "Griffin? He's just as bewitched by Ariana. I'm not interested in him!"
Feeling like the abandoned one, it was no longer a matter of whether she could get back together with Lambert. Ariana had repeatedly trampled on her proud self-respect!
"What's more, he's too kind, so kind that he even naively thinks everyone means no harm. He's so foolish that he can't even tell when he's been used!"
"You say he's foolish?" Beverly's mother was taken aback. Their family and Griffin's were clanmates. Hence, whenever they went abroad, they would attend Meadows Family's parties sometimes.
Although their encounters were rare, Beverly's mother was well aware of Griffin's background, "As far as I know, the Meadows family backing him is quite prominent. He became a celeb in a renowned foreign university at a young age due to his skipping grades."
Beverly knew about Griffin's famous past, but she had no interest in a man whose heart and eyes only contained Ariana.
"So what? In the end, he's still inferior to Lambert, isn't he? Ariana would have been his long ago if he wasn't so stupid!"
"Is that so?"
At this moment, Griffin's self-deprecating voice rang out from the doorway.
The mother and daughter pair stilled for a bit and quickly looked over, Griffin was looking at them with a dark expression, evidently having heard every word of their conversation.
Beverly faltered, staring at him dumbfoundedly, "Grif... Griffin..."
Mockingly, Griffin spoke, "When Ariana first told me, I didn't believe her, but it seems I really am too foolish."
After saying that, he attempted to turn around and leave coldly but was held back by Beverly's hand.
"No...hear me out!"
"Hear you out?"
He had heard everything clearly at the doorway, and yet Beverly actually wanted him to listen to her fabrication.
"Beverly, trusting you was my mistake. It's my fault that I trusted you. But after listening to your mockery of me, you still want me to believe you? Do you really think people are that foolish?”
Beverly was at a loss for words. Seeing this, Beverly's mother quickly moved forward to soothe him, "You're Griffin, right?"
Griffin looked towards Beverly's mother, recognizing the vaguely familiar face, his eyebrows slightly furrowing.
She got in front of him and enthusiastically said, "Griffin, I think this might all be a misunderstanding. Why don't you listen to what Beverly has to say? She's always been blunt, and maybe you only heard half, leading to the misinterpretation."
"Misunderstanding?"
Griffin looked at Beverly and gave a cold laugh, "I can forgive past actions, but if you can't stop in time, I won't be courteous either!"
Conan, "Yes!"
Then, Conan quickly entered the school.
After a while, Allison hurriedly called back, panting slightly, she asked, "May I ask, what is the matter?"
Lambert's brows furrowed slightly, "I'm Lambert, do you know where Ari is right now?"
"Ari?"
Upon hearing Lambert's deep and pleasant voice, Allison was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Are you looking for Ari? Hasn't she been left at home by you?"
Upon his words, a vein popped visibly on Lambert's forehead, and his heart slightly tightened, "No."
After seeing Griffin at noon, he personally escorted Ariana to class and witnessed her entering the school. But now, he suddenly couldn't find her.
Upon hearing this, Allison also panicked, "What? How could that be? She didn't come to class today at all!"
Lambert said coldly, "Something must have happened, I'm hanging up first!"
He quickly dialed another number, asking someone to find Ariana's whereabouts.
On the other end, after Lambert hung up, Allison, enraged, glared at Stefan, who was still on top of her, and harshly pushed Stefan back to the driver's seat, "It's all your fault! I almost missed such an important call!"
Stefan didn't expect this kind of problem to occur with Ariana either, it was quite unexpected.
Allison was anxious, she quickly ran to find Lambert for help. Naturally, Stefan also followed her.
