Many times, Ariana couldn't help but think, if Lambert wasn't her husband, she might really not resist the urge to stab him straight up...
Lambert, unaware of the horrific thoughts of his wife, continues to talk in a somewhat frivolous tone.
At this, Ariana: "..."
Fortunately, Lambert knew his boundaries, realizing it was not the best time, given they were in the company's office. He reluctantly withdrew his hand under Ariana's warning glare. A sigh escaped his lips and he calmly said, "You don't have to go back to the Stone house recently."
Ariana: "Hmm?"
A slight trace of indifference flashed across Lambert's face: "Unless something unexpected happens, the Thomas family's downfall is set. The Lawrence family will suffer bad luck as well. The Stone family naturally has to hold someone accountable, otherwise, it will become a laughing stock within the upper class. So, try your best to stay away from them during this period. You never know, that lunatic Beverly might believe you're involved in this matter and target you."
He wasn't scared of Beverly.
Even ten Beverlys wouldn't cause Lambert to bat an eyelid.
But he was afraid that Ariana would get hurt.
Though he was fully aware of his wife's capabilities, no one could guarantee her absolute safety. The feud between the White and Stone family coupled with the trace of his involvement... Because Beverly had tried to harm Ariana, his retaliation could be considered self-defense, but Old Mr. Stone wouldn't care about this.
In his view, this was done deliberately. It doesn't matter to them if Ariana played a part in this or not because all this started with her.
The Old Mr. Stone was unreasonable like that.
Lambert had firsthand knowledge of this and naturally feared something would happen to Ariana when he was not around. The recent kidnapping had him on edge, fearing that something similar might occur again.
Ariana looked at Lambert's worried and irritated expression and couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in her heart and said with a smile, "Okay, I understand."
Lambert sighed in relief and cautioned again. "Remember, don't say one thing to my face and do another behind my back. Even if my parents ask you to come back, don't. If necessary, call me, let's go back together." Stone family made such a big fuss this time, if Lambert had known this would be the outcome, he might have been slightly more restrained.
At least, for now, he decided not to involve Beverly.
After all, his current abilities were not sufficient enough to fully protect Ariana under his own wings. But it was already too late to say anything. All he could do for now was to brace himself.
The old man possibly had found out a bit of something.
But the old man couldn't get hold of anything clear-cut because of his thorough cleanup at that time. However, he must be certain about Lambert's involvement in the process.
It seemed that troublesome days were coming his way.
Ariana looked at Lambert and nodded, "I understand. You should also take care. Although the Thomas family is not worth mentioning, you still need to be cautious. Never underestimate them, as the saying goes, a camel, even when it is skinny, is still bigger than a horse."
Lambert slightly curled up his lips and raised an enchanting smile, he blinked and responded, "Yes, I'll remember."
Ariana: "... When will you be finished?"
