Mr. Lawrence frowned, "Does she even have any sense of guilt? Does she realize how much disgrace her behavior has brought upon the Lawrence family? We have nearly become a laughingstock in our circles! The Stone family is in the same boat. If it weren't for our business partnership, they might have already decided to divorce her. This daughter of ours, it's you who has spoiled her! "
Thinking of how his hard-raised daughter turned out to be even less valuable than an idler, Mr. Lawrence felt so frustrated he could spit blood.
Fortunately, his eldest son, who he had almost given up on, managed to stand tall again.
Most importantly, his physical injuries healed.
Nothing could be more important than this.
However, it might be difficult to retrain his eldest son now, but at least his talents weren't bad, certainly much better than Beverly's. Otherwise, he would not have arranged the marriage between Beverly and the Stone family in the first place. In fact, he originally agreed to the marriage in the hope that Lambert would join the Lawrence family.
After all, the Lawrence Corporation was meant to be left for Beverly.
But all that changed when his eldest son came back.
With the series of events that happened then, Mr. Lawrence decided to go ahead with Beverly's and Arnold's marriage.
Who would have thought that she would still create trouble even after the marriage!? This matter has indeed cost the Lawrence family its hard-earned reputation.
Beverly was indeed at fault here, but after her husband had been criticizing her for so many days, Mrs. Lawrence couldn't take it anymore. However, who was she? She was capable enough to marry Mr. Lawrence, give birth to Beverly, and secure her position as Mrs. Lawrence.
So, she held back her ire, didn’t retaliate or lament, but changed the topic, "Indeed, Beverly was at fault, but the one more in the wrong was Lambert. I think the boy still holds a grudge from the past, that's why he acted out this time."
As expected, Mr. Lawrence’s attention was diverted.
He snorted, "Let's see how he retaliates from prison."
Mrs. Lawrence sighed with relief and continued, "Moreover, I heard a piece of news..."
Mr. Lawrence frowned, "What news?"
"Lambert is not the biological child of the Stone family." This was also news to Mrs. Lawrence. It had taken her quite some effort to find out.
Originally, she planned to secretly give Lambert's wife, Ariana, a hard time.
With Lambert in jail, there's no place for her to vent her anger.
She originally wanted to get back at Ariana to relieve her hatred but didn't expect to learn this news accidentally. This suddenly surprised and delighted her but also filled her with resentment. Resentment that the Stone family had kept this a secret.
If Beverly had married Lambert back then, what could Beverly have gained?
Just a bastard of the Stone family!
However, everything was different now. After learning about Lambert's background, Mrs. Lawrence was joyfully mad. Lambert not being the grandson of the Stone family means that the Stone family would not care about his life or death. In that case, she could fully repay all the pain Lambert, that little brat, had inflicted on Beverly—
Mr. Lawrence was stunned for a moment, he frowned and asked, "Not their own child? What do you mean?"
The news even made Ronaldo's eyes flicker as if he was somewhat surprised.
Mrs. Lawrence smirked, then she looked at her husband, articulating word by word, "I have just found out about this news. Lambert is actually not the biological son of Hugh but was adopted. It is said that the 'Cinderella' that Hugh married so desperately could not reproduce. So, Hugh secretly adopted a child from outside to act as his and his wife's son. And this child is Lambert."
Mr. Lawrence paused, his expression turned into a serious one, "Is this reliable?"
Mrs. Lawrence gave a coquettish smile, "Naturally reliable."
