Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 406

The recent incident has sent shockwaves through the elite circles of society! No one could have anticipated that the youngest grandson of the Stone family had been kidnapped. And the kidnapper? None other than Jerold, the second son of the Morris family.

This news left everyone both stunned and bewildered, struggling to comprehend the connection between the two. If it had been Lambert or Arnold who were kidnapped, one might have suspected a conspiracy or a calculated move. But kidnapping a child? What could possibly be gained beyond some ransom money?

The most pressing question was—was it really worth the risk? While the Morris family's conglomerate might not be as vast as the Stone family's, they still comfortably possess assets worth billions. To jeopardize that for the sake of kidnapping the Stone family's great-grandson seemed utterly nonsensical.

And to make matters worse—he got caught. It was both embarrassing and laughable.

...

Meanwhile, at the Morris residence, Mr. Morris was on the verge of a breakdown upon learning what his son had done. Normally a man who never resorted to physical violence, he was so enraged that he slapped Jerold's mother across the face, shouting, "This is the son you raised!"

Mrs. Morris, though deeply hurt, dared not utter a word, fearing it would only provoke her husband further. Standing in the living room, Stefan watched in silence as his father raged and his stepmother wept.

Mrs. Morris was still in a state of shock. She had no idea what her son had done until she heard about it from others. She rushed home immediately, only to be met with her husband's slap. Now, her heart was filled with nothing but resentment and confusion.

Mr. Morris shot a cold, furious glance at his wife before turning his attention to his eldest son. He spoke each word with deliberate emphasis, "Stefan, I heard it was you who helped Lambert this time."

Stefan didn’t bother to hide it. He nodded firmly, "Yes."

Denying it would be pointless. If his father was asking, it meant he had already done his homework.

A flicker of something unreadable passed through Mr. Morris’s eyes. He locked his gaze onto his son’s and continued, "And it was you who caught Jerold on the spot, working with Lambert."

This revelation instantly silenced the sobbing stepmother. She turned her head sharply, staring at Stefan in disbelief.
