Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 299

Of course, Hugh knew.

However, knowing is one thing, but allowing him to stand idly while something happened to Lambert was absolutely impossible for him.

Madame Stone also understood what her son was thinking. She couldn't help but let out a deep sigh and said, "Hugh, I'll talk to your father about Lambert. However, I cannot guarantee the outcome." Madame Stone's thoughts were naturally different from the old man's.

Though she also valued the family's reputation,

She was not as excessively concerned about it as the old man. She was self-centered, only caring about what mattered to her.

For instance, she didn't care much about the old man.

Much like how her husband didn't particularly care for her. That was just the nature of a marriage of convenience. Hence, despite the many years she and the old man spent together, having children and grandchildren, their relationship was more like friends bound by mutual interests.

So, she knew well that her views were unlikely to sway her husband's decision.

However, it was unbearable for her to see her dear youngest son in such distress.

Although it was a marriage of convenience, she did care about her children and had a special soft spot for the youngest one. Her youngest son was introverted from an early age and wasn't as acutely sharp as his two older brothers, thus she naturally doted on him a little more.

She would not have gotten involved if anyone else had asked her to.

She was fully aware of her place in the old man's heart.

But since it was her youngest son, she could, reluctantly, give it a try.

Looking at his mother, Hugh bit his lip slightly, and said slowly, "Mother, I didn't come here today to trouble you. I just wanted to tell you something, and then you can pass the message to Father. As for the rest, you don't have to worry about it."

Mrs. Stone raised her eyebrows: "Oh?"

Looking at his mother's suddenly rejuvenated expression, Hugh fell silent before speaking: "Mom, Lambert… Lambert is actually my biological son."

Mrs. Stone had been gently smiling at her younger son, waiting for him to say what was on his mind.

However, once his words were spoken, she was instantly stupefied.

She blankly stared at her younger son for quite some time, finally knitting her brows to ask: "What do you mean? Didn't you say years ago that there was a problem with your body, making it impossible for you to have children?" It was also because of this that she treated Jolene, her daughter-in-law who wasn't really knowledgeable about social etiquette and wasn't of noble birth, more leniently.

Sometimes, she would even feel a few degrees of guilt.

So when she found out that Lambert was their adopted child, Mrs. Stone did not get as angry as Old Mr. Stone had at the beginning. Rather, she continued to treat this grandson, Lambert, the same as ever.

Now her younger son was actually telling her that Lambert is her biological grandson?

Hugh paused briefly, a hint of apology flashing across his eyes as he said: "...... In fact, when I found out there was a problem years ago, it was with Jolene. But I was afraid that you and father would be furious, so I said it was me." After saying this, fearing that his mother would get angry, he hurriedly added: "Mom, I'm sorry I lied to you. But I really liked her and didn't want to see you disappointed in her or Father becoming indifferent toward her. So I took this extreme measure."

Upon hearing these words, Mrs. Stone fell silent.
