Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 354

354 /658

The eldest and second families only learned about Lambert and Ariana moving into the Stone Family's main house the day after.

Upon learning the news, both houses were up in arms!

Khloe was livid beyond belief. She glanced at her husband whose face was wrought with anger, and couldn't help but ask, "Honey, what should we do now? What on earth is Dad thinking of? Does he truly intend for that illegitimate child to inherit the Stone family? Could it be that Dad has become senile?"

The eldest uncle's face was not looking any better.

He shot a glance at his wife, and despite his reluctance to believe the fact at hand, it was unfolding before his very eyes, leaving him no choice but to accept it–

He too was seething with rage and wanted to question Old Mr. Stone about what happened next!

Did Dad really want to hand over the Stone family to an outsider?

If he were to give it to a stranger, what does it mean?

But he didn't know what to say, because this matter could only yield two results. Either Old Mr. Stone has indeed become senile or...Old Mr. Stone was greatly disappointed in both the eldest and second families. That's why he decided to hand over the Stone family to an outsider with no blood relation.

Arnold sat to the side, spitting venom, "I knew I should have arranged someone to take care of Lambert as well."

He was the one who orchestrated the car accident some time ago. His father had suggested poisoning, but he wanted to settle all matters quickly and without mercy.

Who would have thought that in the end, he would still come up short?

Lambert protected Ariana with his life. And that illegitimate child proved to be harder than expected, enduring such a shock and only having a slight upset. Everything else remained unchanged! At that time, Arnold was absolutely furious. He had wanted to make a second move, but his father stopped him.

The reason being that if the accident got out of hand, it would be hard to explain to Old Mr. Stone.

Ultimately, the result would be that the second uncle's house could profit from others' misfortune. It was then that Arnold halted.

"I don't know what the old man is thinking. But now, unless the second uncle's family queries, we can't hastily act." Even though he was extremely furious, he still retained a sliver of sense.

"But... what if the old man thinks we're giving in?" Khloe asked anxiously.

"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it," the eldest uncle said with a frustrated expression, appearing utterly vexed. He looked at Arnold for a while with a furrowed brow, then said, "If our family had a child, we would not be in such a passive situation now." The eldest uncle had known that the old man was eagerly expecting a great-grandson, but he never thought he would anticipate it so much.

Thinking of his youngest brother's family, the eldest uncle was even more infuriated.

At the same time, he had a vague guess... that is, that Lambert could possibly be the old man's biological grandson.

Although he denied the thought as soon as it popped into his head, he still felt a great unease at the old man's increasingly protective behavior towards Lambert. He felt his guess might be correct. Otherwise... why would the old man favor the third house so much? Why would he be so happy about Ariana's unborn child?

Thinking about this, the great-uncle grew more frustrated.

If this matter turned out to be true, then it would indeed be a major problem.
