Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 393

393 /658

In the end, this was the conclusion of their discussion.

The Second Uncle was still somewhat displeased but couldn't do anything about it. Their Father had already made the decision, and he knew there was no way to change it. So, he had no choice but to swallow his discontent.

What none of the three noticed, however, was the fleeting glint of triumph in First Uncle's eyes.

First Uncle didn’t leave with Second Uncle. Instead, he was the first to return to his villa.

As soon as Khloe saw her husband, she hurried over, her voice tinged with anxiety. "How did it go? What was decided?" She knew her husband and his brothers had been summoned, so she guessed they must have been discussing how to handle the situation.

Arnold also looked at his father with nervous anticipation.

The First Uncle glanced at his wife and son, then curled the corner of his lips. "Don’t worry. Everything is going according to our plan."

This immediately eased Arnold’s tension.

Khloe quickly asked, "So, how much is the old man planning to pay to get that little brat back?"

The First Uncle continued to smile. "Fifty billion. The Stone family will cover forty billion, and the remaining ten billion will come from the third branch. I suspect Lambert’s company might be sold off. Arnold, keep a close eye on things during this period. As soon as Lambert sells it, find a way to buy it. This way, not only will we gain another company, but we’ll also have nearly forty billion in liquid assets. I know Lambert’s team—they’re excellent. Once we take control, even if the old man has any other ideas and doesn’t pass the position to you, our family will still be untouchable."

Though fifty billion was only a fraction of the Stone family’s wealth, the thought of eventually inheriting one-third of the family’s assets made them fearless.

With this, their branch would be in an unassailable position.

It had to be said—the plan was nothing short of brilliant.

The more First Uncle thought about it, the more pleased he became. He couldn’t help but look at his son with pride. "I always knew my son wouldn’t disappoint. Arnold, you’ve done brilliantly this time! To come up with such a scheme. But what about the kidnappers? Any chance of things going wrong? Are they reliable?"

Arnold said with a smug grin, "Don't worry, Dad, it's absolutely foolproof. Just make sure Uncle doesn't catch on to anything."

If the second branch of the family found out that the entire scheme was orchestrated and executed by the first branch, they would be absolutely livid—after all, a portion of that forty billion belonged to them as well.

the First Uncle laughed heartily. "Rest assured, there won't be any slip-ups on my end." That fool, the second uncle, was already like an ant on a hot pan, scrambling to figure out who to ally with. But no matter what, given his incompetence and that useless son of his, they wouldn't be able to stir up any trouble.

Did they really think marrying into the Castro family would increase their chances of inheriting the Stone family fortune? Ha! They were living in a fool's paradise.

At the mention of this, First Uncle's brow furrowed slightly. He added thoughtfully, "By the way, how's Beverly doing these days?" A while back, he and his wife had been scheming to make a big move, planning to seize some assets from the Lawrence family while they had the chance. After all, Arnold was the Lawrence family's son-in-law, and Beverly was the heir—so the Lawrence family's fortune would eventually fall into their hands.

But at the mention of Beverly, Arnold's expression darkened completely.
