Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 286

286 /658

Ariana: "...We'll talk about that later. I came here this time with something serious to discuss with you, Lambert. Do you know about Vincent and Beverly?"

Lambert saw that his wife wasn't joking around but was entirely serious. He immediately felt somewhat regretful. He licked the corner of his mouth, then lazily said, "Mm, I know."

Ariana earnestly looked at Lambert, "Does this matter have anything to do with you?"

Lambert's eyes narrowed at once. He smiled without smiling at his wife, and then slowly said, "What? Are you questioning me to defend Vincent? Could it be... you still have feelings for him?" Towards the end of his sentence, Lambert’s tone noticeably cooled, like the frosty cold of December.

It seems as though if Ariana misspoke a single word, Lambert might react unpredictably.

Indeed, Ariana and Lambert married due to a contract.

Even though they claimed it was a mutually beneficial arrangement, Lambert used Ariana back then. But now he has feelings for Ariana, so the situation has changed.

He clearly remembered how much Ariana used to like that cowardly Vincent.

He wouldn't mind completely ruining Vincent if she still had feelings for him.

Ariana also sensed Lambert's suddenly cold gaze.

She suddenly chuckled, but also felt somewhat angry.

So, Ariana also lowered her face and squinted to counter-question: "You don't trust me?"

Lambert shook his head and offered a mischievous smile. "I'm not doubting you. I just don't trust that Vincent. After all, my wife is so gorgeous; it's natural for her to attract attention. Of course, don't feel distressed. As long as you need it, I'll take care of anyone who has their eyes on you."

Ariana: "..."

Lambert earnestly looked at Ariana, then winked and smirked, "So, who does my dear wife fancy now?"

Ariana sneered, "It certainly isn't you."

The smile instantly vanished from Lambert's face. His expression was emotionless as he asked coldly, "Who then?"

Ariana: "My dad."

Lambert was taken aback. Soon, however, he turned his gaze towards his mischievous wife and a gentle smile promptly returned to his face. He chuckled, "Stop messing around. You know I'm too jealous. But rest assured, I won't do anything to your father."

"...So you did have plans to do something before, didn’t you..."

A twitch tugged at the corner of Ariana's eye. Rolling her eyes, she decided not to engage further in this topic, returning to a serious tone, "Enough, let's get down to business. Did you have any involvement in this?"

Without any refutation, Lambert admitted, "Yes."

Ariana was startled. She had previously considered the possibility of Lambert's involvement but still harbored some doubts. She thought perhaps he would not go to such lengths as there seemed no apparent reason to do so.

Unless... he was really bothered about the fact that Vincent was her ex-boyfriend.
