Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 268

During this period, the company encountered various problems, so even Lambert's assistant, Assistant Hiils, became numb to them.

He didn't feel much about this.

However, he still swiftly ordered the company's lawyer to collect all the necessary evidence and prepare to present a plethora of it in court.

The other party didn't seem to anticipate that Lambert was serious, and he was this to court directly. The original developer of the game was left in shock, extremely terrified. He fully understood that he was to blame for this, so if the law officially pronounced a sentence, he could end up in jail for several years!

How could he not be scared?

After receiving the court summons, he hastily contacted the person who bought his game.

However, the other party didn't answer the phone calls.

After calling several times, all he got was a disconnected line. This made him break out in cold sweat. He had a vague premonition in his heart. He must have been... cheated!

...

On the court day, Lambert didn't attend, but let the lawyer represent the company.

In the courtroom, the original developer was so scared that he turned pale and constantly explained the details of the situation. He claimed someone from the Stone Group bought it!

However, the evidence investigated by the court indicated that the game was published by a small company. They declared, quite distressed, that they didn't know the developer had sold the game once before when they bought it from him. They too were victims. In the end, the original developer was sentenced to five years imprisonment and ordered to compensate the victimized Lambert's company for a million dollars in damages.

As for the other company, they also received compensation.

However, the compensation wasn't as much as Lambert's company, and their operation rights to the new game were also revoked.

Yet, after this game disappeared, games like "Farm Breeding" and "Happy Farm" emerged. In the blink of an eye, even if Lambert's company received the million-dollar compensation, it still wasn't enough to mend the damage incurred.

Most importantly, this game might be done for.

Stefan sat on the sofa looking at the expressionless Lambert who continued to deal with files, hesitated for a while before asking: "Lambert, what are you going to do?"

Lambert barely lifted his head and said, "Shelve this game and quickly develop a third one."

Stefan was speechless, "And just like that, the third game? Have you considered this matter carefully? Except that the first game was based on the one we developed during our college days, so we let the programmers study and improve it; the rest all have one or more issues."

Lambert's company not only develops games but also actively purchases games that catch their attention.

Just like this game.

But for some reason, every time they see an appropriate game or softwares, either negotiations fail, or when they are about to sign a contract, problems arise. Regarding "The Top Scholar", Stefan was personally monitoring it, so there were no major issues from purchase to finish. Even if there were, he solved them efficiently. However, he did not expect such a situation with this game, which had already been developed and passed the public beta! Even Stefan found it difficult not to doubt his own intelligence.

It was like a piece of mouse poop had ruined the whole pot of soup.

Indeed, anyone would be upset.

At that moment, Stefan wasn’t that angry anymore. Instead, he was a bit more worried about Lambert's careless elder brother. He thought, if you're not good enough then why don't you just focus on your own tasks? Why bother going out of the way to provoke Lambert? Do you have too much time to spare?

However......

Stefan still gave a slight reminder and said softly, "But you also mentioned that Old Mr. Stone may be supporting this. Are you sure..."

Lambert glibly winked his eye and said jokingly, "What did I say? I didn’t say anything at all. I just wanted to give my dear elder brother a slight reminder. What does this have to do with Old Mr. Stone?"

Stefan: "......"

Lambert continued to sigh as if something significant was about to happen, "But if Old Mr. Stone wants to interfere, then I can't be blamed. Although I respect the old and love the young, I cannot do anything if Old Mr. Stone personally steps onto the battlefield. After all, weapons are blind."

Stefan jumped in fright, stuttered a bit, and said, "What...what are you planning to do?"

Lambert slowly retracted his gaze and said, "Nothing. I just enjoy the show."

Stefan said with some difficulty, "Lambert, you...you better not go too far. If you do, it may not end well... Don't forget that you still have your parents to consider." Stefan had always wondered why the Stone family's Old Mr. Stone was always so short-tempered with Lambert, never quite as indulgent as he was with his other two grandsons.
