Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 254

Lambert was not like Ariana, whose face would flush with anger every time he took her by surprise.

Instead, with his eyes gleaming, he drove and expectedly said, "Carry on."

Ariana rolled her eyes at Lambert, ignoring him.

Lambert's eyes blinked in disappointment, and he couldn't resist wetting his lips, as if reminiscing Ariana's rare moment of initiative.

Ariana continued, "Since my father has already made this call, it means that Jane has been brought back. In that case, you can drop me off at the White's. I'll go home later."

Lambert nodded, signaling that it was okay.

Ariana added, "You don't have to come in with me, just remember to pick me up later." She knew that at this moment, Lambert must have a lot of things to handle. The engagement banquet alone took quite a bit of time. So whether Lambert went with her or not didn't matter.

Besides, it was just a quick meeting with Jane. There was no need for both of them to go.

Jane wasn't really that significant.

She, Ariana, alone was more than enough to handle her.

Lambert chuckled lightly, "Oh? Just by yourself?"

Ariana frowned and snorted coldly, "What? You don't trust me?"

Lambert shook his head. "No, I'm just worried that you might get upset. Ever since I confirmed that you're the one I'm going to spend the rest of my life with, I made up my mind to make you happy. So any potential issues that could affect your mood need to be eliminated. Even if they're not important."

Ariana: "......"

Ariana thought she'd probably never be able to beat Lambert at saying sweet nothings in this lifetime…

...

In the end, Ariana didn't let Lambert return with her. She only had him send her to the doorstep of her house, then told him to go to his company. Lambert had some objections to this but was shut down by Ariana's dauntless attitude.

Thus, Lambert left dejectedly.

Watching the desolate figure of Lambert, Ariana was almost lost for words.

However, her eyes revealed a helpless smile.

Not until the sports car disappeared did Ariana slowly withdraw her gaze. She first composed her facial expression, then turned her head to gaze at the familiar villa. Subsequently, a strong and cold smile emerged at the corners of her mouth, then she slowly headed toward the entrance.

The villa's servants hurried to open the door.

At that time, Gilbert and Georgia, who were in Jane’s former bedroom looking at the distressed and pained Jane, knew their daughter had returned upon hearing the servants’ voices from outside.

Georgia first showed a hint of surprise, then as if she suddenly remembered something, she froze, her face revealing an embarrassed expression. Jane seemed to get even more panicky, showing an expression of fear, she said to Gilbert and his wife tremulously, “Uncle... Auntie, my sister has returned... What should we do? She will definitely be angry if she sees me."

As she spoke, tears streamed uncontrollably down her face.

Georgia slowly rose from her seat to open the door, and stood on the second-floor corridor calling out to her daughter who had just stepped into the living room, "Ariana, you're back." As saying these, she gracefully descended the staircase. Her eyes emitted genuine happiness and satisfaction seeing her daughter. Georgia gently brushed her daughter's bangs aside, chuckling lightly, "A few days off, and mom feels you've become thinner."

Ariana responded with a mild smile; “I'm fine, probably just been a bit busy at the company recently. Speaking of which, where's Dad?”

Georgia responded with a helpless smile, saying, "Your Dad is in Jane's room, Jane is a bit emotionally unstable right now, so your dad is a bit anxious." As she said these, Georgia sneakily glanced at her daughter, fearing that she might spot some unhappiness. However, what Georgia didn't know was that, for Ariana now, it was not merely a matter of being happy or not.

She was heartbroken.

Despite having known that her father was overly attentive towards Jane due to her young uncle's cause, over the years, this love wasn't fake. His pity and sympathy gradually turned into genuine love and pampering.

Even more, it exceeded that for his own daughter.

This is grossly unfair to Ariana.

Ariana has always known. This is also the greatest reliance of Jane. And precisely this point, no matter how hard Ariana tries, this is something she can never achieve.

Her father's thinking is very straightforward. Because Ariana is his biological daughter, she doesn't need excessive care. And the parentless Jane is indeed the one who needs love and affection.

Taking advantage of her father’s sympathy...

Heh...

Ariana chuckled lightly. She indeed couldn't compete with Jane in this aspect. However, she had a way to divert this guilt and sympathy.
