Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 51

Just as he was about to kiss her, she blocked his advancing lips with her palm.

Lambert paused but did not force himself on her. He just raised his eyebrows slightly.

Ariana quickly pushed against his strong chest, forcefully retreating a little to dodge his overly intimate approach.

She had to admit that she was somewhat enticed just now, but the thought of Lambert's past affairs made her heart cease its fluttering, returning to a state of calm.

Ariana forced herself to calm down, and said half-jokingly to him, "Mr. Stone, we're playing in the business field, not the field of love."

The implication was that they were bound by a business marriage, a fake marriage, and she was incapable of giving him her heart.

Seeing her serious refusal, Lambert was slightly taken aback and then began to chuckle.

She was slightly stunned and furrowed her brows at Lambert, who was giving her a funny look as if he didn't care about what she just said from her heart.

Realizing she had been fooled, Ariana's face turned red with anger. She stared at him and said, "What's so funny? I'm being serious!"

Lambert looked at her with a smile in his eyes, "So what?"

"Humph! I still have things to do, I won't waste time with you."

To Ariana, discussing matters of the heart with Lambert seemed like she was degrading herself.

After she finished speaking, she stood up in a huff and left the office.

Once outside, she couldn't help but turn around and glared at the office door, which wasn't completely shut.

At this time, the phone in her bag suddenly rang, startling her so much that she hurriedly answered the call.

After Allison finished her class, she anxiously called to ask, “Ari, how are things on your end?”

The sudden appearance of Lambert made Allison extremely uneasy. In her view, Lambert was like a savage beast that ate women without spitting out their bones. The mere thought of it made her fear for Ariana's well-being.

But when she rushed to Ariana's classroom and asked Fanny, she learned that Ariana had been taken away by Lambert. She was even more scared and immediately placed a call.

Hearing Allison's worried voice, Ariana was taken aback. She reassured her, “Don't worry, I'm okay!”

While Allison had a deep bias against Lambert, she could understand nonetheless.

“That's good!”

Allison sighed with relief to some degree, then said, "Did you know? Your involvement with Lambert has spread throughout the whole school."

"What?"

Ariana couldn't believe it. "I just went to the office with him once. How could that become gossip?"

Allison, somewhat speechless, said, "I didn't expect it either... Those people probably envy you. They're saying quite unpleasant things."

"..."

Ariana was left speechless, cursing Lambert in her heart for causing trouble when there was none. He came to school with no specific reason and said things in front of so many people that made his admirers envious.

It was almost as if he wanted to put her in a "lose-lose" situation!

"Forget it, let them say what they want to say."

After all, they didn't know that she and Lambert were already married. The rumors that had spread were mostly baseless, and she wasn't afraid of what more exaggerated stories they could come up with.

At this time, the phone screen displayed a new incoming call, it was from Vincent.

She slightly frowned, then sneered and she said to Allison, "Vincent is calling, he must have heard about the rumors between me and Lambert."

In fact, in everyone's perception, Vincent is highly accomplished and considerate, but after all, Lambert comes from a true financial tycoon family.

In terms of being a perfect suitor, it would be impossible for Vincent not to be anxious.

Vincent relaxed slightly, then asked, "Where shall we go for dinner today?"

She pondered for a moment, and said, "Why not... you come to my place."

"Your place?" His tone held a note of surprise.

With a gentle voice, Ariana replied, "I have worked on compiling a lot of recipes with my mom recently. I want to cook them for you."

Her soft voice tinged with unknown shyness, struck an inexplicable chord in Vincent's heart.

"Alright, I'll head over to pick you up now."

Vincent thought that Lambert was interested in Ariana. He had initially felt threatened, but now, knowing that the person Ariana loves is him, he felt immensely pleased, realizing that even if Lambert was accomplished, he could only watch in longing.

"Mm." She replied.

Ariana, as usual, was waiting for Vincent at the school gate but unexpectedly bumped into Jane who was waiting for the family car.

Due to the morning incident, Jane was somewhat embarrassed whenever she thought about it. For a while, she was not able to control her attitude properly, and her demeanor was somewhat cold when she saw Ariana.

Seeing how she was ignoring her, Ariana deliberately asked with a hint of apology: "Jane, are you still mad at me because I fired Gill?"

Jane choked for a moment and quickly explained, "No, no, sister, I just..."

She paused and quickly corrected herself, saying, "I heard some rumors that you have some kind of flirtation with the new professor, which is why I’m a bit..."

Some passersby who overheard Jane's words quickly eavesdropped nosily.

Ariana raised her eyebrows, this little b***h did not miss any opportunity to tarnish her. She wondered if the reason why this matter had spread so quickly was also thanks to Jane.

She was slightly surprised, "Flirtation? What do you mean by that, Jane?"
