What he hadn't anticipated was that the whole process would take so long and be fraught with danger. If it weren't for his preparedness, he probably would have fallen victim to various assassination attempts.
Recalling this, a chill spread across Lambert's face.
His slightly squinting eyes radiated an intense intent for revenge.
No matter how you put it, over this period, he had come to apprehend the "surprises" given by the Thomas family. However, that doesn't matter; after a short rest, he vowed to repay these 'surprises' to them in full.
As for the Lawrence family...
He had already agreed with Ronaldo; he wouldn't touch the Lawrence family. As for the specifics, that would be left to Ronaldo to handle so he wouldn't interfere. As for his two good uncles...
No rush, he had just returned.
Seeing that their intentions were only against his company and had not done anything else to him or Ariana, he decided not to be too ruthless.
After all, he also needed to consider his father's feelings.
Ronaldo was unaware of what was going through Lambert's mind. He would surely shiver in his boots if he knew Lambert was planning revenge on the Stone or Thomas family. However, Ronaldo felt quite at ease, perhaps because the fruit of their laborious collaboration seemed unbelievable; it had put him in a good mood.
Even when he heard Lambert’s indifferent words, he felt no resentment and responded, "You don't need to tell me that. Do you think I'm stupid? I've finally got this opportunity, do you think I won't seize it?”
Lambert replied indifferently, “I was just reminding you.”
Ronaldo gave him an eye roll, “I'm not stupid like you. I don’t need reminders from you. Okay, if there's nothing else, I'm off to bed. I'm totally bushed.” Ronaldo had been working tirelessly to cooperate with Lambert's plan.
This meant he could finally get a good night's sleep.
Lambert remained silent. He was too lazy to say more to Ronaldo, so he simply hummed in agreement before hanging up.
After hanging up the phone, Lambert's gaze returned to the pile of unfinished documents again. The earlier scene of Ariana sleeping on them flashed across his mind, and a faint smile involuntarily crossed his eyes. Then, he got to work on the remaining files.
...
The next day...
The warm sunlight shone softly and gently on the big bed even through the curtains.
The curtain's obstruction prevented it from being glaring.
Just a hint of brightness, seemingly telling the one still lazing on the bed that the day had started.
Ariana seemed to sense the arrival of the sunny day. However, the continuous exhaustion of the past few days did not allow her to wake up. Coupled with the winter habit of lazing in bed, she only grumbled lightly before continuing to slumber on the bed. It wasn't until she felt the need to visit the washroom in her grogginess that she got up with half-closed eyes and groped for the washroom.
On the bed, Lambert, who had already woken up and was reading a book, just watched as Ariana sluggishly rose from her spot after squirming for quite some time.
With half-lidded eyes, she got up without a clear aim.
She even knocked into the walls several times for not opening her eyes fully.
At first, Lambert laughed at this sight. However, after witnessing Ariana continuously bumping into walls, his amused grin was replaced with a look of helplessness. He stood up, went over, and grabbed Ariana's hand.
