It can be said that Mr. and Mrs. White have been exceedingly kind and just to Jane. They've done their best. One could say they have never put such effort even towards their own daughter Ariana.
Gilbert looked at his wife contentedly, then said, "I think the same way too. In order not to create a rift between Jane and Kiara, the shares should be as equal as possible. For the rest, we'll make up for it privately."
Georgia nodded, "Alright, I'll find a time to talk to Ariana. We should discuss these matters with Ariana too. Otherwise, I'm afraid she'll be upset."
Although Gilbert was not that detail-oriented, he had thought of this point too, so he agreed with his wife's proposal.
In this way, Mr. and Mrs. White have already planned everything for their three children. Ariana will continue to manage the company and inherit it in the future. Jane and Kiara will each get five percent of the shares. These shares would be enough to provide for them for the rest of their lives.
However, these plans will have to wait. After all, the results of Kiara's identification haven't been confirmed. But if memory serves, the results should be out tomorrow morning.
At this moment, both Mr. and Mrs. White started feeling a bit nervous. Although they really liked that girl and had already decided to accept her whether she was Kiara or not, they still wished that the child was Kiara.
And indeed, the result did not disappoint them!
After the dawn of the next day, Mr. and Mrs. White finally received the identification result.
Upon seeing the result, their eyes filled with surprise and excitement. They were right! The girl was indeed Kiara!
...
At another place.
At this moment, Ariana had just applied to the school for a temporary leave of approximately one month.
The school knew about Ariana's circumstances and with the addition of the White Corporation having previously donated a library to the school, gladly approved the request.
Truth be told, if the company wasn't so busy, Ariana wouldn't take a one-month leave. To her, the only time she has to relax is during her school days.
It was Lambert who personally came to pick up Ariana.
Ariana was quite surprised.
She quickly opened the car door, got in, and looked at Lambert with blinking eyes while fastening her seat belt.
Feeling slightly uneasy under Ariana's gaze, Lambert cleared his throat and asked, "What's the matter?"
Ariana smiled, "Nothing. I was just a bit curious about why you would come to pick me up from school. If I'm not mistaken, shouldn't you be at the company right now? Are things not busy at the company today?" Lambert had already resigned from the school, concentrating on the company's development.
Lambert's company was indeed doing quite well. It had just launched a game that quickly gained significant attention and received a solid investment.
However, Ariana was still quite surprised that Lambert chose software and game development as the company's growth targets.
She had assumed that Lambert would continue researching real estate or construction materials.
After all, he dealt with these matters at the Stone Corporation and had significant experience and networking in these areas.
But these were Ariana's thoughts. In the end, she didn't pay too much attention to Lambert's plans. As long as he liked what he was doing, that was good.
A hint of amusement flashed across Lambert's eyes when he heard Ariana's words. As he drove, he calmly said, "Stefan is in charge of the company. I just happened to have some free time, so I thought I'd come to pick you up. Why? Are you not happy with it?"
Ariana shook her head with a sense of astonishment, "I am just too excited."
Of course, Allison was resolute in her belief that she was not the type to be affected by cheesy sisterhood bonds. It must be her pregnancy that's causing her memory loss! Yes, that's it! There's a saying, 'Pregnancy makes you foolish for three years,' right? This is all normal!
Subsequently, Allison, who gave herself a myriad of mental comforts, suddenly regained her confidence. She first coughed lightly, followed by, "Ari, I am actually here for your husband. Can you inform him to head back to the company quickly? My Stefan merely went to deliver something, but now he's there, hooked!"
Ariana: "..."
Ariana instinctively looked towards Lambert who was driving.
Lambert felt Ariana's gaze and turned his head to look into her eyes innocently.
Ariana was about to laugh. She couldn't help but cough lightly with her fist against her lips, then, blinking cheekily, she said, "Alright, I'll tell him later. Speaking of which, you two have known about the baby for quite a while now, right? How can you still be so lovey-dovey and clingy?"
Allison glared, "What do you mean by being too clingy? This is just our normal PDA. Don't forget how much you and Lambert flaunted before. Our acts are just a mere drizzle in comparison."
Ariana feigned terror, "So this is your revenge on me?"
Allison snorted coldly, "Or what?"
Ariana immediately whined, then regretted, "I admit my mistake. I shouldn't have hurt your tender heart like this before."
Allison was also playing along. She hummed and reluctantly said, "Fine, I'll forgive you."
Lambert, who had been watching the whole process, remained silent.
Even though he knew they were just joking, Lambert still felt a pang of jealousy for some reason.
