Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 216

In the end, Lambert decided to heed Old Mr. Stone's call.

Since he wished for him to return, he would go back for a thorough discussion with his grandfather.

Ariana didn't try to stop Lambert, but she watched him with a mix of worry and conflict. She had already vaguely guessed what it was but didn't know how Lengbai would feel if he knew this. Ariana let out a slightly self-mocking sigh. After all, she had fallen into the trap; if it were the past, she wouldn't have been so worried about Lambert.

Lambert could naturally see her worries and quickly flashed an unfathomable smile, teasingly saying, "Relax, I'm just going to chat with the old man, and I'll be back soon."

His words were light and breezy, gradually calming Ariana's turbulent heart. She smiled playfully and said, "Then I'll wait for your return."

Lambert nodded and swiftly kissed Ariana's forehead, then casually picked up a book from the bedside and started reading. It was as if nothing had occurred.

Ariana: "..."

...

If one wished to resolve an issue, there was no need to drag it out.

Hence, the very next day, Lambert returned to the grand mansion of the Stone family. Along the path, he encountered several servants who only gave brief bows before addressing him as 'Third Young Master', then promptly departed. Lambert was no fool; he had noticed their varying expressions and whispering chatter once he was in sight.

With that, a smirk of scorn surfaced on the corner of Lambert's lips.

It seemed that even the servants of the Stone family were aware of his existence as the Third Young Master was in name only.

Well, it didn't matter anyway. He didn't care about that.

The only reason for his return was to hear the so-called threat from the old man and have a heart-to-heart chat. Of course, he made no promises about the outcome of the discussion. In essence, this was probably his last visit to the Stone family.

The old master of the Stone family had instructed the butler early in the morning.

The butler was, therefore, not surprised when he saw Lambert return. He guided him to the study room's doorway and prepared to leave.

However, before departing, the butler hesitantly said, "Sir, the Old Master cares about you. Please try not to argue with him.”

Lambert gave a nonchalant shrug and replied indifferently, “Oh.”

Then, just before he entered the room, the butler saw Lambert's eyes narrowed slightly. The corner of his mouth hooked up into a faintly expectant smile, giving off the strange impression that he was not about to have a chat but was heading into a battlefield!

The Butler: “...”

The butler's lip twitched unable to hide his exasperation, he sighed, then slowly walked away.

The Stone family knew about the ongoing feud between Old Mr. Stone and Lambert.

One could only hope the grandfather and grandson could have a proper heart-to-heart conversation this time.

Lambert couldn't care less about the butler's hopes or thoughts. He showed no hesitation before pushing open the door to the study.

The old man's gaze sank completely, and just as he was about to say something, Lambert spoke: "I know what you want to say. Go ahead, I came here today to hear what could potentially ruin my reputation. You might as well be straightforward."

A shadow passed through the corner of the old man's eyes.

Truth be told, although he initially didn't consider Lambert important for some reason, it was not like he didn't have any emotional ties.

Furthermore, revealing Lambert's identity wouldn't do any good to the Stone Family either.

He didn't want to resort to this unless necessary.

In his heart, the honor of the Stone family always holds the first place. He would not allow the existence of anything damaging to the Stone Family.

"But now that matters have come to this if he's still worrying about this, he might genuinely lose control."

After a long silence, Old Mr. Stone said lightly: "Actually, you're not from the Stone family's bloodline. Your mother was infertile and your father secretly brought you from the orphanage. Sadly, it was found out later. However, I felt sorry for you and couldn't bear to return you to the orphanage, so you've been allowed to stay in the Stone family. Lambert, I've never told you about this because I was afraid you wouldn't be able to handle it. But this time, you're really out of line."

Lambert's expression, which had always been as calm as the wind and light clouds, changed suddenly.

His hands tightly clasping the chair turned somewhat pale.

Even though he had already guessed, when the truth actually appeared, his heart couldn't help but contract.

As Old Mr. Stone looked at Stone's expression, a gleam of light subtly appeared in his eyes. He said: "So, Lambert, I hope you can withdraw the lawsuit about Beverly's incident. Although I did something wrong some time ago, it was purely because I didn't want to see you being deceived by others. After all, you're the grandson I raised with my own hands, even if there's no blood relation, I've always regarded you as my own grandson. That Ariana is really not a good person."
