Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 252

Throughout history, there have been numerous instances of brothers slaughtering each other for inheriting positions. This was precisely how things were in Old Mr. Stone's era.

Upon a mere glance, one could easily discern the motivations of the eldest and second son.

And in these past few days, the change in attitude from the eldest and second son towards the third son also revealed a certain truth.

With this thought, a smirk of mockery crept onto Old Mr. Stone's face. His eyes held a mixture of disappointment, complexity, and contradiction. He understood the eldest and second houses' attempts to win over the third for inheritance but did not approve. If it were him, he would never resort to such tactics. Of course, if he had sufficient power to suppress Lambert, he might choose cooperation.

However, reality told him that his two useless grandsons were no match for Lambert. The idea of suppressing him was simply a pipe dream. Attempting to cooperate with Lambert was nothing short of the most foolish act.

If he were Arnold or Finely, he would temporarily join forces to eliminate Lambert, their greatest threat.

Even though he had previously expressed his displeasure towards Lambert.

But they cannot ignore him.

Once Lambert was dealt with, the two could start vying for power in private. Only such action could satisfy Old Mr. Stone. Unfortunately, his grandsons were too short-sighted, just like their parents. This brought about his disappointment. At the same time, the regret that Lambert was not his grandson deepened in his heart.

If Lambert was his grandson then the current situation would be completely different.

He would be more than pleased if this grandson proved to be remarkable.

But unfortunately, he was not.

The foolish actions of the eldest and second sons might just end up ruining years of foundation. It seems that he must step in. At the very least, he must ensure that Lambert is completely and utterly disconnected from any inheritance rights within the Stone family, dispelling potential ideas. Only then could he feel at ease!

Otherwise, one day those two incompetent grandsons may cause the family's ruin.

No matter what, the Stone family cannot fall into the hands of outsiders!

...

Unbeknownst to Lambert, who was leisurely enjoying the show, his grandfather who was always on guard for any possibility of him trying to usurp the family power, was scheming on how to sever all his ties with the Stone Family power.

If he knew about this, he would definitely scoff coldly.

Truthfully, Lambert had never taken the Stone Family seriously.

In others' eyes, he might harbor a bit of desire for the Stone Family. But in reality, he absolutely did not; he felt no ounce of eagerness for them.

It would be more worth it for him to personally create something rather than exhaust all efforts to gain something he didn't simply care about. Although it wouldn’t be as big as the Stone Corporation, given time, he was confident that his own company could reach the present peak of the Stone Corporation.

The engagement ceremony ended swiftly.

After searching for a while, Ariana finally found Lambert. She sauntered over, smiling and blinking, "Shall we head back?"

Lambert flashed a smile, "Hmm."

Those around watched their interactions with eyes full of envy. Some even shot affectionate jests about how wonderful Lambert and Ariana's relationship was. To this, both Ariana and Lambert accepted gracefully, returning polite smiles. After all, Lambert's company had just started and would definitely require many clients.

These people could potentially become his business partners.

Thus, it was necessary to engage with them.

Without any hesitation, Ariana answered the phone, murmuring, "Dad?"

Gilbert, on the other end of the line, seemed to grapple with something. After hesitating for a few seconds, he gently asked, "Ariana, where are you now?"

Taken aback, Ariana still replied, "Have you forgotten? Lambert and I attended his elder brother's and Beverly's engagement ceremony today. What's wrong, Dad? What made you call me abruptly like this? Is something wrong?"

After listening to his daughter, Gilbert once again fell silent for a while.

After a good long while, he reluctantly coughed lightly and said in a rather weary and troubled tone, "Ari, the hospital called today."

Ariana: "Hmm?"

Gilbert continued, "The hospital where Jane is."

At this point, Ariana seemed to understand something, and her anxious worries vanished without a trace. Her dark, deep eyes flickered before she slowly asked, "What happened?"

Hearing the sudden coldness in his daughter’s voice, Gilbert sighed again.

But he couldn't not say it.

So after a pause, he still divulged, "Jane was uncooperative when taking her medication. She fell down the stairs during a struggle. Her leg is broken. The doctors said that she might not be able to walk properly in the future, and she can't dance anymore, as she once loved to."

Ariana: “......”

Gilbert was in a difficult position. Although he was also irate about Jane's previous behavior, he couldn't just watch her looking pitiful. After all, she was the only daughter of his own younger brother and the child he had pampered as a daughter for many years. Especially now that her leg is broken.
