Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 220

Seemingly tired of Lambert's sarcasm, Griffin chose not to prattle any further and cut straight to the chase, "I have no ulterior motives. I just wanted to let you know that if Ariana really wants to sue Beverly... I'm willing to testify."

Lambert's expression changed abruptly and he frowned, "Why?"

Griffin managed a bleak smile, "No reason." Standing up, he looked at Lambert, "That's all I wanted to talk about today. If you need me, I am willing to testify in court."

Even if it meant sacrificing himself, he was willing to do it.

Consider it... a slight compensation for the guilt he felt for unintentionally aiding Beverly against Ariana.

As Lambert watched Griffin turn and leave after saying his piece, he snorted coldly, "That won't be necessary."

Griffin paused abruptly. He presumed that Lambert didn't believe him, so he explained, "I have no ulterior motives. I'm just trying to do what I can."

Lambert's expression was indifferent: "But Ari won't accept your help." Without regard for Griffin's suddenly pale face, he got up and headed towards the exit. When he walked past Griffin, Lambert stopped and said, "The only thing Ari hopes for is for you to never appear in front of her again, even if it's for her well-being."

Griffin's face turned even paler.

He wasn't a fool. He understood this definitely wasn't something that Ariana would say.

So, he forced a mocking smile, saying, "That's your own opinion, isn't it?"

Lambert shrugged, not denying. He said, "But I believe that's what Ari thinks, too." After saying this, Lambert left the café and got in his car, wearing a grim expression.

Whether Griffin said all this on purpose or not, he didn't know.

But regardless of his intentions,

There was no chance he would be allowed to testify.

Although he was well aware that with Griffin's testimony, this case was as good as closed. However, Griffin might end up going to prison, and even get targeted by the Lawrence family. Of course, what Lambert is worried about is not that. Rather, doing so would surely touch Ariana, even if it was just a moment of emotion.

At least, the things he had done before might be forgiven by Ariana.

Heh…

Trying to cleanse his own tarnished image with such grand gestures?

Tsk, he's definitely not going to make it easy for him. Ignoring a golden opportunity to permanently eliminate a romantic rival and instead giving the opponent a chance? Well, then he, Lambert, would be a real fool.

At this very moment, Griffin, who was still in the cafe, had a look of gloom and pain in his eyes.

His hands were clenched, and the depths of his eyes were filled with deep repression and darkness.

…

Since things have already reached this stage, both Ariana and Lambert should expect retaliation from the Lawrence family or the Stone family.

Ariana felt guilty about this, and she told her parents.

Gilbert looked at his daughter who was filled with worry and guilt, and said, "If Beverly dares to bully my daughter, I naturally won't tolerate it. Don't worry, the Lawrence and Stone families won't be able to do anything drastic to the White family. Unless they can inflict a thousand damage on the enemy at the cost of eight hundred of their own."

The shareholders of the White Group, not to mention the media, were almost frantically demanding an explanation from Gilbert.

So much so that Gilbert almost destroyed everything in his study room in anger.

Ariana quietly sat on the sofa, showing no expression. Lambert also remained silent, sharing a glance with her once during this. Both understood what was being conveyed through the other's eyes. If they weren't wrong about this matter, it should be the doing of the Stone and Lawrence families.

Gilbert, still enraged, said: "This is clearly a frame-up! Impossible, I have been managing the White group for so long, and there has never been an issue of skimping on the work. If there was such serious skimping on the work, then the White family would've been finished long ago! Could it still have developed to the present? This is clearly someone deliberately setting us up!"

Ariana felt helpless.

Of course, she knew these were false accusations, but the problem was that nobody believed her now.

However... there was a solution.

After a moment of eye contact, Ariana said to her parents, "Mom, Dad, don't worry. Listen to me, you hold a press conference five days from now, and the rest is up to me and Lambert."

Surprised by his daughter's words, Gilbert looked at his daughter and then at his son-in-law.

After a long silence, he slowly asked, "Do you have any leads?"

Ariana shook her head slowly and said, "Not at the moment, but there will be. Dad, all you need to do is hold the press conference when the time comes. Don't worry about anything else."

Lambert also concurred: "Believe in me and Ari, we will handle this matter. You don't have to worry, I will protect Ari and ensure nothing happens to her."
