Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 229

At this moment, Stefan had just staggered out of the bathroom, a twitch at the corner of his mouth, he was almost ready to lay his hands on his friend.

Fortunately, reason told him he couldn't do that.

Moreover, he was out of energy...

Lambert, with a bit of conscience, went to the kitchen, and poured him a glass of water after seeing his friend in this state, then handed it to him, saying: "Drink some hot water."

With tears welling up in his eyes, Stefan asked, "Can you tell me why you're fine?"

Lambert coldly replied: "I'm used to it."

Stefan: "..."

In the end, Stefan and Allison decided to go to the hospital. The diagnosis was that the food was not well-digested but there was nothing serious. They were prescribed some digestive aids. Holding the medication, Allison sighed, realizing that indeed, Lambert's cooking was not all that great!

Indeed!

Allison attributed all the after-effects of this food indigestion episode to Lambert.

Her dear Ari could never make such horrifyingly bad meals.

Lambert: "..."

Unfairly blamed, Lambert remained silent, inwardly taking note of Allison's injustice.

Just like that, the joyous moments passed in a flash.

After relaxing, Ariana and Lambert had to face the current situation again. The court case against Beverly was still going on, with the Lawrence family trying hard to pull strings. So was the Stone family. However, because the whole affair caused quite a commotion, and the White family was not one to be trifled with, things are at a standstill for now.

Unless Ariana changes her statement, there is probably no room for retreat in this case. They'll have to play cat and mouse with the judge over the matter of serving a few years of sentence.

But a female heir of a group who has been in jail...

From an outsider's perspective, she's ruined.

Even if Beverly is the only heir of the Lawrence family, it is difficult for her to hold this position. The Lawrence family has many children from the side branches, and the shareholders are not easy to deal with. So the Lawrence family is destined to be in chaos this time.

Ariana is not afraid of this chaos, she's more concerned that Beverly's parents might act rashly out of desperation causing irreversible damage.

She wants to take revenge on Beverly, but she's not planning to risk her life.

After listening to Ariana, Lambert spoke, "So what's your implication?"

Ariana swiftly looked up, blinked, and said, "Do you need to ask me? I guess you must have figured it out. You didn't say it."

Lambert laughed heartily and smirked, "You overestimate me, I'm no near as clever as my wife."

Ariana: "..."

Ariana coughed gently, trying to hide her slightly blushing cheeks. With her gaze shifting uneasily, she cleared her throat, "Cough, let’s talk about the serious matter. By the way, do you plan to continue your career as a professor?"

Lambert chuckled lightly, "Why? You think my salary is low?"

Ariana gave him an exasperated roll of her eyes, then shook her head and said, "No. I actually think it's not bad for you to stay a professor. Of course, if you plan to make a comeback, I hope you won't hide it from me. If there's anything I can help with, I want to be able to do so."

Lambert said in a soft voice, "No backing out."

Ariana responded assertively, "Never will. Unless it runs away on its own."

Lambert quirked an eyebrow then shook his head, remarking, "That would mean it's probably dead. You may not know, but it has already signed a contract secretly. Unless it dies, I'm afraid it will be around you for a lifetime."

Ariana: "..."

Ariana felt outplayed, she couldn't stand her own ground anymore. She reckoned that she would be stripped of all her defenses if this continued.

Even though she found some humor and a flicker of happiness in her heart, Ariana felt a tinge of irrational jealousy. She squinted her eyes, grunting, "Dear Mr. Stone, have you ever said this to anyone else?"

Lambert looked at Ariana with astonishment, seemingly stunned by her insight.

Then he confessed regretfully, "Ah, all these words were picked up from books. I started preparing from middle school, all to secure my future happiness. Fortunately, you came along. Otherwise, I wouldn't know who to use all these stockpiled lines on."

Ariana: "...What kind of joke is this?"

Lambert gave a light laugh, "What? Don't believe me?"

Ariana turned her head aside, her eyes coyly tilted as she shook her head, "Nope~." She remembered when she first met Lambert, she saw three girls getting abortions for him. No one would believe a jerk who got three girls to get abortions would turn into a quality gentleman overnight.

Ripples of amusement began to form in Lambert's eyes.

He whispered in Ariana's ear, "I have never laid a hand on anyone. Back then, I just wanted to numb the senses of those people from the Stone family, making them think of me as a playboy. As for those three women who had abortions, I regretfully inform you that I never slept with them. I honestly don't know where those children come from. However, these women indeed unintentionally helped me. I guess all the upper-class society in the whole city thinks that I’ve had children with countless women."
