"Ariana! Were you talking to Lambert just now?"
Jane pushed open the door, pointing at the phone in her hand.
Just now downstairs, Ariana's phone rang but she only glanced at it before hanging up.
She had been feeling something was off for a while, so she secretly followed up to see, and sure enough, she caught Ariana answering the phone as soon as she entered her room.
On the other end of the phone, Lambert raised an eyebrow slightly but said nothing.
He knew Jane had a bit of intelligence, but it was a pity she was using it in the wrong place.
Ariana had an indifferent expression, "Jane, weren't you sobering up? Why are you here speaking nonsense?"
Jane was confident as if she had full assurance and said with a scoff, "Ha, Ariana, don't change the subject. You've been seeing Lambert for a while now, right?"
She had long felt something was off between these two, especially when she saw Ariana and Lambert hugging near the stairs which they covered up by saying that Ariana was not feeling well.
What's even laughable is that Vincent naively believed Ariana.
Ariana covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, 'Involved with him?' It was even more than that, she was already married to Lambert.
She folded her arms, leisurely leaning against the vanity mirror, "So what if that's true? Do you have any evidence?"
Jane pointed at her hand, and confidently said, "The call history. Even if you delete it, it's useless. Once uncle and aunt investigate, the truth will surely come out!"
"Heh..." Ariana chuckled lightly.
Jane cursed angrily, "What are you laughing at?"
If it is proved that Ariana had been with Lambert all this while, Gilbert and Georgia would be even more furious.
Therefore, Jane thought Ariana should be scared, but instead, she laughed, which deeply irritated Jane.
Indifferently, Ariana said, "I laugh at your stupidity!"
"You... "
Before Jane could say anything, she was cut off by Ariana. "Don't you think, in our current situation, even if you tell my parents whatever the hell you're saying, aren't you worried that my parents might think you're framing me on purpose? Or do you think you can stand up against the Stone family?”
The Stone family held great power in the city. Although the White family was slightly less influential, they would still show some deference to the Stone family.
But now... although Jane lived with the White family, she was yet to become a part of it, and without the support of power, she couldn't do much. What's worse, she and Vincent had already completely split up.
Jane’s face fell upon hearing this. Indeed, what Ariana had just said was right. No matter what, the White family wouldn’t dare to confront the Stone family openly.
She is just an orphan living under someone else's roof. How can her words have any weight.
However, Jane refused to allow Ariana to gloat, and retorted, "Even if I can't expose you, so what? You're dating Lambert, who’s notorious for being a player. You’re nothing but one of his playthings!"
Because Ariana hadn't ended the call, Lambert heard everything loud and clear.
He originally had no interest in listening to women's quarrels and was about to hang up, but upon hearing them discuss him in such a manner, he frowned. Was this how all these women thought of him?
Ariana looked down at her phone which was still on the call and smirked.
Seeing Ariana didn’t respond, Jane felt a sense of satisfaction and continued, "Maybe he'll get bored of you soon, and then he'll throw you away like garbage!"
Ariana smirked and said, "Given your current situation, do you really think you can scoff at me? Didn't you run off to see Vincent last night? You know what? He called me numerous times beggingme, and you... you were flat-out dumped!"
At the mention of her recent humiliation, Jane roared in anger, "You wretch!"
"Wretch?"
Jane covered her face covered in pain, tears welling up in her reddened eyes. She was stunned when she heard Ariana's words.
"You did that on purpose?"
It had been more than two months since then. If Ariana had known all this time, how could she remain nonchalant like nothing happened, without a hint of anything unusual!
Jane couldn't believe that Ariana, who seemed to be weak, had been hiding her cunning nature so deeply.
Could someone's nature change so drastically overnight?
Ariana slightly raised an eyebrow, her beautiful eyes flashed with a glint, "So, you finally feel fear? When you were doing shameful deeds, why weren't you afraid?"
Ariana's continued questioning left Jane overwhelmed for a moment. She recalled the incident when Ariana was hit by someone and hospitalized, scared beyond measure, she stared at Ariana.
"No! You're not Ariana! You must be a ghost! You're a ghost!"
The more Jane thought about it, the more frightened she got. She hurriedly scrambled up and fled disoriented from Ariana's room.
Ariana sighed softly and, at this moment, a bantering voice from Lambert sounded over the phone.
"How exciting!"
She slightly frowned, looking at the call that was surprisingly not ended, she said in annoyance, "I didn't know that Mr. Stone had the potential for gossip."
Lambert meaningfully said, "No, I'm just surprised."
This woman, she's even more gloomy and interesting than he imagined.
Soon after, he said, "Aren't you afraid that Jane will tell Vincent if you provoke her like this, making him vigilant?"
