Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 266

The meal was quite harmonious, at least on the surface.

After the meal, Gilbert looked at his daughter, Jane, and Kiara, and then with a contented smile, he said, "From today on, Kiara will be living at home. I plan to host a birthday banquet in a few days. At the banquet, I will announce Kiara's identity to everyone."

Ariana nodded, "Okay."

But Jane suddenly lifted her head, biting her lip, she said, "Uncle...isn't this a bit too grand?"

Gilbert turned his gaze back to Jane, and said, "What's so grand about this? Your sister is finally back home, it's only right that we inform everyone in high society about Kiara's identity. Otherwise, once we transfer her to a different school, she might be the subject of gossip among the other students." He mused that they might even assume Kiara to be his illegitimate daughter.

Even if he stated that Kiara was his niece, people might still look down upon her.

She just couldn't compare with Jane.

In such cases, those who mocked her would increase.

He would not allow such a thing to happen.

Jane's face stiffened. She looked at Gilbert but decided not to speak against him anymore. Her grip on her spoon tightened. After a while, as if she thought of something, she quickly lifted her gaze to Ariana. With an expression of concern, she started in a low voice, "Actually, I am delighted deep down that Uncle and Aunt treat Kiara this way. But, this isn't fair to Sister Ariana. Just think about it, if we announce Kiara's identity so formally to everyone, how will others view Sister Ariana?"

Surprised, Kiara lifted her head to look at Ariana, her expression filled with a rare hint of panic and helplessness.

If the banquet would cause any harm to Sister Ariana, she felt it wouldn't matter whether or not it was held.

Better to have none.

She was also afraid that Sister Ariana might misunderstand her.

Ariana, however, directed a reassuring smile to Kiara and said calmly, "It's okay. This is just a banquet to announce Kiara's identity. Plus, Kiara is indeed my younger sister. Besides, Kiara has endured so much these past few years. There's nothing wrong with pampering her a bit. Even if Mom and Dad didn't say it, I would have suggested it anyway."

The words immediately changed the expressions of Gilbert and Georgia.

Gilbert was full of satisfaction and happiness for Ariana's way of thinking. As for Georgia, besides these emotions, she felt an additional layer of guilt towards her daughter.

She thought secretly that she could not favor one child over the other due to her bias towards Jane.

Ariana's understanding filled her with joy, but also with self-blame. She blamed herself for offering less care and affection to her own biological daughter than to Jane and Kiara.

Jane didn't know what to respond to Ariana's words.

She forced a smile.

But the twisted, uncomfortable expression lingered.

Inwardly, Jane was resentful. When Gilbert and his wife wanted to announce that she was their daughter, she hadn't seen Ariana take the initiative. Even so, she still did other things to dissuade Gilbert and his wife! Now she's playing the good person. Ha-Ha.

Ariana looked at Kiara and said, “We've prepared your room for you already. It's the bedroom right next to mine. Go upstairs and sleep, I'll just accompany your sister upstairs and then I'll leave.” An hour ago, Lambert received a call from work and had to leave, so now only Ariana was left here.

Kiara bit her lip corner.

She glanced at Jane, whose leg seemed to be slightly inconvenient, and after a long silence, she pretended not to notice, just nodding her head and saying, “Ok, I'll go to my bedroom first. Sister, you can go back when your husband comes to pick you up. Or just don't go back, stay at home. It's not safe at night after all.”

At this moment, Jane laughed scornfully, she looked at Kiara with contempt and her eyes were cold, “Wow, just joined the White family and you're already acting like the master?”

Kiara was startled, her face immediately turned pale, she shook her head and hurriedly explained to Ariana, “I-I didn't mean that!”

Ariana smiled reassuringly at her. Then, she frowned at Jane and said, “Jane, watch your tone.”

These words completely set Jane off!

Her previously suppressed emotions exploded in an instant. Jane pointed at Kiara, filled with disdain, she said, “Isn't it the truth? What? You, Ariana, aren't you afraid of others dividing your property? Being so kind to someone who might divide your family's property at any time? Or...” She gave a cryptic smile, “Is she someone you hired, to pose as Kiara to confront me?”

Ariana's gaze turned cold, she said, “Jane, you’d better quit while you’re ahead.”

In an instant, Jane's eyes filled with immense anger, she said indignantly, “I'd better quit while I'm ahead? I don't understand. It's clearly you who should quit while you're ahead. You've brought in such a fraud!"

Ariana frowned, “Didn’t you see the identification result? The test results showed this girl is Kiara. What's the point of me hiring someone to impersonate Kiara? Are you sick? Thinking about all sorts of crazy things every day. Jane, let me tell you, if you continue with these words and actions, I'll have to tell our parents. Perhaps you need to go back to the hospital to recuperate.”
