Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 324

Jerold swirled the wine glass in his hand, raising an eyebrow lightly. "You don't know?"

Arnold touched his forehead. "Yes. Lambert had left the Stone family long ago. I haven’t been paying much attention to him." He did keep some secrets, not revealing Lambert’s past, even though he almost did just now.

Hearing this, Jerold chuckled. "Brother, do you know what happens when you don’t kill a snake thoroughly? Furthermore, I heard that Lambert got out of detention this time because your grandfather softened his heart. Aren't you worried? The Lambert only left the Stone family for his wife in the first place. This is not a big fault in the eyes of our elders."

The remaining two friends glanced at the two, both nodding in agreement with Jerold's words.

Lambert is a true genius in the business world.

Didn’t his setting up a company in such a short time bear testament to his capabilities?

They had mentioned this earlier and Arnold had kept a straight face, indicating that he had heard.

Arnold also felt helpless when he noticed his friends' gazes.

How was he supposed to tell them?

He could never reveal that Lambert is not his uncle's biological son. What's with all the precautions? After all, the grandfather would never let him inherit the family property. Even though the old man pardoned him this time, it’s normal for elders to soften with age. But he was very clear that even if the old man's heart softened, he would never be so confused as to let the family fortune fall into the hands of Lambert.

So long as this is guaranteed, why should he bother with so many defenses?

Therefore, facing his friends' advice and Jerold's dissenting look, he just shrugged helplessly and nodded. "Okay, I'll handle it myself."

Seeing that Arnold was still dismissive, Jerold couldn't help but chuckle again.

Secretly thinking that one day, Arnold would regret his own contempt.

He had long seen that Lambert was not an ordinary person.

In truth, he didn't need to see Lambert as an enemy, especially knowing that Lambert's abilities were not to be belittled. However, the relationship he shared with Stefan was simply too strong. Should he inherit the Stone family in the future, it would only be detrimental to him, significantly increasing Stefan's power.

This situation would make his own aspiration to inherit the Morris family much more challenging.

Therefore, his only option was to fervently stand by Arnold — just as Arnold would stand by him in return.

Arnold was certainly not foolish.

He had just noticed a fleeting sneer in Jerold's eyes but couldn't explain anything. After all, this was related to the secrets of the Stone family. If he were to reveal it and Old Mr. Stone found out, how furious would he be? If Lambert was defeated this time, it wouldn't be an issue. But if Old Mr. Stone turned around and protected him...

Then he needs to hold his tongue.

However, Jerold was his ally; he could confide in him. Yet, he needed to find a safer place to do so.

Not here.

Too many prying eyes here.
