Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 241

Several days later, at the Stone's residence.

Jolene anxiously looked at her husband, her eyes widened in disbelief. "Has Lambert really agreed to drop the lawsuit?" This was beyond her expectations. After all, Lambert fell out with the old man due to this matter, but unexpectedly, he changed his mind.

However, this was good news.

Although she felt somewhat sorry for her daughter-in-law, it was indeed the best result. After all, they were not capable enough to confront the Lawrence Corporation currently.

Taking a step back might actually be to their benefit.

Hugh was also thrilled, he chuckled, "The kid probably figured it out and realized that being willful can't solve his problems."

Jolene was a bit dissatisfied with her husband's comment about their son, she frowned, "How is he being willful? Even if he doesn't drop the lawsuit, it is justified to go on. After all, what the girl from Lawrence family did this time was indeed too much." A girl harboring such malicious intentions did send a chill down her back.

At the same time, she couldn't help but feel relieved that Lambert didn't marry her.

The girl was indeed terrifying.

Seeing the look on his wife's face, Hugh felt somewhat helpless. He shook his head, "Alright, alright. Did I say something wrong?"

Jolene was immediately amused at her husband’s expression. Just as she was about to continue the conversation, there was a knock on their door. The maid outside notified Hugh that Old Mr. Stone wanted him to come to the study.

Hugh paused slightly, his eyes bearing a hint of pondering.

Jolene immediately felt a pinch of worry in her heart, she anxiously asked, “What does your father want you for?”

Hugh managed to calm his wife, lightly laughing, “Don’t worry, it's probably some matters. After all, Lambert hasn't been in the Stone family lately, it couldn't have been that brat causing trouble again. As long as he is not causing trouble, there should be no major issues."

Jolene still felt somewhat uneasy.

After all, Hugh getting scolded whenever Old Mr. Stone laid eyes on him had become normal over time.

Hugh did enjoy his wife's care and concern, but he didn't want her to worry incessantly. Thus, after assuring her a bit, he headed toward the study.

...

Upon reaching the study, Hugh found his two elder brothers already there.

As per usual, Hugh stood where he typically stood. Seeing everyone was present, Old Mr. Stone began, "We received news from the Lawrence family today, saying that Ariana has withdrawn her lawsuit." After saying this, he paused and looked at his third son, showing an unusually pleasing expression, saying, "You've done well."

The old master naturally believed this was due to his third son's efforts.

After all, even when he himself made several promises, Lambert paid them no heed, so he was convinced that it must be the persuasive efforts of his third son and daughter-in-law.

Beverly's reputation, plagued with a scandalous past that almost landed her in jail, made it practically impossible for another conglomerate of the same status as the Lawrence Family to consider an alliance through marriage. The higher the social status, the more attention is paid to reputation.

Considering the Stone Family triggered this incident, another marriage alliance with the Lawrence family would be acceptable.

The eldest uncle and the second uncle were almost dumbfounded in surprise —

Despite Beverly's reputation, she was the heiress to the Lawrence Corporation! Marrying her would be equivalent to taking over the entire Lawrence Corporation. So the eldest uncle eagerly said, "Dad, I think we should let Arnold marry Beverly. He is older and has been doing well in the company recently. Besides, it wouldn’t be fair if everyone else were married and he, the eldest, is left."

As soon as the second uncle heard this, he was not pleased, he scoffed and said, "Big brother, how can we still stick to the traditional custom that the eldest must be married first in this era? Should all the younger siblings abstain if the eldest brother doesn’t marry? Big brother, you're really funny."

The eldest uncle's face instantly changed.

The old man was getting a little impatient. Annoyed, he glanced at his two sons, then met his third son's gaze and asked softly, "What do you think, Hugh?"

Hugh didn't know why he was suddenly involved.

However, he couldn't stay silent. So after a moment of silence, he said, "Why not ask the two kids who are interested in Beverly, and whoever is, should marry her. After all, the purpose of this marriage is to bring the two corporations closer, and if the couple has a good relationship, the effect might be better."

This answer was to the old man's liking.

He nodded slightly, then said to his eldest and second son, "Then let's do as Hugh suggested. You guys ask them first, then bring them to my study. This marriage alliance with the Lawrence family deserves our utmost consideration compared to before, and we can't afford any mistakes."
