Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 290

The old man looked at his third son with a faint gaze, his expression calm, without any surprise. He curled the corner of his lips, an ironic smile in his murky eyes. "Oh? Have you learned to threaten me?”

Hugh gave a bitter smile.

From a young age, Hugh has always been the most afraid of his father. Since he was young, he has always lived in his father's shadow, regardless of what he did.

Because his father always wore an icy expression.

When confronted with their three brothers, his father never looked compassionate in his eyes. This led to the three brothers respecting and fearing their father more than their kinship, almost acting like they were facing the head of the house rather than a normal father-son relationship.

Let alone Hugh, who has been engrossed in literature and the arts, and somewhat gentle and refined since he was young.

Hugh may not be powerful as a father, but he has cherished his son Lambert since the start. He cared even more for Lambert because he lacked fatherly love from a young age.

So how could he bear to watch his father drive his son to a dead end too?

Even if Lambert was at fault this time, he couldn't just stand by and watch. After all, he is his father.

The old man looked at his third son, who was being stubborn for once. He couldn't help but be slightly surprised. This third son has always been obedient since he was young. Besides making a fuss when getting married many years ago, he has always been quite unremarkable and even somewhat timid.

So he was indeed somewhat perplexed as to why this third son would confront him for a son who held no blood ties.

This made him increasingly disdain this useless son.

At the same time, his brows deepened in a frown.

After all, daring to oppose his father for a son with no blood ties indeed made him quite unhappy. However, he couldn't be bothered to say more. He merely glanced at his son before picking up his walking stick and slowly heading toward the door. Seeing this, Hugh became anxious, and hurriedly called out, “Dad...”

The old man didn't even pause, only coldly stating, “If Lambert himself dares to do it, he should also dare to bear it. As for you, I don't want to see you for a while. Don't appear in front of me. Get back to your courtyard.”

Hugh blankly watched the back of his father, who left immediately after uttering those last words.

His father had remained rigid throughout, without a hint of softening.

Hugh's expression slowly changed, becoming somewhat panicked. He hastily rose to his feet, thinking of catching up to his father to plead for Lambert but the housekeeper stopped him. The housekeeper looked at Hugh with a sigh and in a difficult position, and slowly said, "Sir, Mr. Stone has said that you don't need to come to the main house for the time being. Please just stay in your villa."

Hugh paused for a second, clenched his teeth, and said, "Uncle, I, ..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the housekeeper interrupted Hugh, saying, "Go back, Sir. If you continue pleading, perhaps the situation of Sir Lambert will become even more difficult."

These words successfully made Hugh stand there in shock.

With a pale face, he silently stood still for a while, then eventually began to walk slowly towards the villa.

Watching Hugh's back, the housekeeper couldn't help but sigh slightly.

...

At that time, Lambert didn't know that his father had been scolded by that terrifying old man because of him.

He was still hesitating about sending a message to his parents to inform them of the situation.

So that they could be mentally prepared.
