Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 426

426 /659

Ariana watched silently as Lexi became yet another pawn in Jane's schemes. She couldn't help but feel a grudging admiration for her cousin's manipulative skills.

Even in such dire circumstances, Jane still managed to find allies like this.

Honestly, Jane's cunning ran deep—it was just a shame she wasted it on all the wrong things. The corner of Ariana's lips twitched slightly, her eyes cold and indifferent.

Unfortunately, Lexi misinterpreted that faint expression as mockery directed at her. Unable to hold back any longer, Lexi sneered, "Ariana, I've already heard from Jane about what happened in your family. At first, I had my doubts, but now that I see you've schemed to get Jane thrown in prison, I have no choice but to believe it. I can't believe there are people like you in this world—willing to do anything for money!"

Then, her sharp gaze shifted to Allison, adding with disdain, "Then again, what else can you expect from someone who befriends a homewrecker?"

Ariana: "..."

Allison: "..."

Sometimes, they truly couldn't fathom where Lexi got her twisted sense of morality—how she could possibly label Allison, who had fallen in love with Stefan and married him legally, as a "homewrecker."

The only way to describe someone like Lexi was shameless.

Ariana gave a faint, humorless smile. "If you're so convinced that I framed Jane, why don't you ask her how she ended up in prison?"

Lexi scoffed. "As if I'd trust anything you people say."

Ariana shrugged. "Fine. Believe what you want. Now, if you don't mind, Allison and I have somewhere to be. Would you kindly move?"

Her dismissive tone was the final straw for Lexi, who had been barely containing her anger.

Her eyes darkened with fury as she glared at the two of them.

After a brief pause of about two seconds, she spoke slowly, "Let me cut to the chase, Allison. I have a deal to propose. You know Stef has always loved me—there's no point in you staying with someone who doesn't care about you. If you're worried about your family, don't be. I can handle that. And to make it up to you, I’m willing to offer fair compensation. As for your son, rest assured, I won’t mistreat him. If you want to keep raising him, I can even persuade Stef to agree."

Allison let out a cold laugh.

She had known all along that this was Lexi’s real motive. All that talk about Jane was just a prelude.

Staring at Lexi now, Allison couldn’t even muster the energy to engage with her.

Where did this woman get the confidence to think Stefan was in love with her?

Hah…

With a mocking curl of her lips, Allison simply walked past Lexi, heading toward the company with Ariana in tow. Lexi froze for a second before her temper flared. She grabbed Allison’s arm, her voice sharp with fury, "Do you have any basic manners? I was talking to you—didn’t you hear me?"

Seeing the situation escalating, Ariana’s driver, who had been watching nervously from the car, quickly stepped out and warned, "Ma’am, please let go."

Not wanting to be outdone, Lexi’s driver also hurried over and whispered behind her, "Second Miss, if there’s nothing else, perhaps we should head back?"

He hesitated before adding cautiously, "The Eldest Miss asked me to remind you… not to cause trouble in public."
