It could be said that since Ariana and Lambert left the Stone family and moved into this small villa, their relationship progressed faster than ever.
Because only the two of them lived there, they no longer needed to pay too much attention to their appearances.
Lambert's sweet lines came so naturally.
At first, Ariana would blush, but now she had become quite calm.
Even after Lambert finished speaking, she would nod and point out his shortcomings. Lambert would always respond with a grin, which left the hearts of those who saw this scene racing. The first ones to take the brunt were Allison and Stefan.
They initially laughed at Lambert's cheesiness, but in the end, they stopped speaking.
Even their mouths twitched.
Allison secretly cursed the couple for constantly showing off their love, but he was also relieved because this indicated that Ari was not under pressure due to the Beverly incident. In this way, she was not so worried. But even though she was calm, this matter still needed to be resolved.
Ariana did not know what exactly to do. She let the lawyer continue analyzing the case in preparation for future court appearances.
Ariana understood that the Lawrence family would definitely come to see her before going to court!
However…
Ariana never expected that the Lawrence family would send someone not to find her but to find Lambert.
At that time, Lambert had just finished his classes for the day and was preparing to go home.
But as soon as he arrived at the parking garage, he saw a man in a suit walking straight towards him. Immediately afterward, he bowed slightly and said with respect, "Mr. Stone, our boss would like to chat with you. I wonder if you might have some time?"
Half-squinting his eyes, Lambert looked at the man before him, then replied with a mysterious smile, "Your boss?"
The man in the suit nodded, "Yes."
Upon hearing this, Lambert raised his eyebrows indifferently, immediately followed by a casual shrug. He curled his lips and sneered, "Oh, I'm just expected to go have a chat because your boss has invited me? Sorry, but I don't see any sincerity from your so-called boss."
The man in the suit showed signs of embarrassment, then he continued, "I'm truly sorry. My boss intended to meet you himself, but he's unwell. Please believe, not being able to meet you was unintentional."
This piqued Lambert's interest.
After scrutinizing the man in the suit for a long while, he asked coldly, "Oh, may I ask who your boss is?"
Lambert had assumed that the man in the suit would not disclose it, considering he referred to his boss as 'boss' in and out of his conversations. Lambert believed that the man was trying to maintain his boss's anonymity.
However, surprisingly, the man in the suit answered without any hesitation. "The boss said, you would understand when you hear the name, Ronaldo Lawrence."
Ronaldo Lawrence?
Lambert paused instantly.
Of course, he was familiar with Ronaldo. When they were young, they were friends to some extent. Ronaldo was about the same age as him, and people of their status at that time enjoyed playing with others of the same status, and the adults went along with it.
This was what people often referred to as the 'princelings'.
Upon entering the private room, he immediately saw a young man in a wheelchair slowly pouring tea at a table by the window. His gaze was calm and indifferent, devoid of any superfluous expressions, as though blending with the elegant atmosphere in the room.
Lambert's dark eyes twinkled, and he took the initiative to greet, whispering, "Ron, long time no see."
Upon hearing Lambert's voice, it was then that Ronaldo looked up.
After years of tempering, Ronaldo had grown quite different from the impulsive young boy he used to be. He was extremely handsome, with deep-set eyes, a prominent nose, and light, thin lips. No matter where he was, he was an exceptional-looking young man.
He was on par with Lambert.
Upon seeing Lambert, his gaze was initially indifferent. Then, it gradually softened, revealing a warm, gentle smile. He said, "It's been a while, Bert."
After that, he gestured for Lambert to take a seat.
Lambert nodded and sat opposite to Ronaldo.
Looking at the face still bearing a bit of its youthful appearance, Lambert could not help but chuckle, "It's been many years, how have you been living abroad?"
Ronaldo scoffed lightly, "It's okay. However, I've heard that your life here is pretty exciting." He then jested, "If there's a chance, I would like to meet your wife. I am curious about this character who finally made the young master of the Stone family fall."
Lambert laughed, "Of course, I don't mind. But the premise is that you can't look at my wife for more than three seconds."
Ronaldo first paused, then immediately burst into laughter.
