Ariana chuckled, "I don't believe she is still in touch with Vincent, even if she is, he might not believe her."
As for her parents, needless to say, if Jane reported her now without evidence, it would just be taken as nonsense.
She paused momentarily, switching the topic back to the reason for his call, "Did you call for something?"
Ariana didn't believe that Lambert would randomly call her for no reason.
Lambert stated bluntly: "If anyone from the Stone family wants to meet you, you'd better decline outright."
"Did something happen last night?" She was stunned for a second and asked subconsciously.
According to Vincent's description of Lambert, the Stone family doesn't seem to have a good impression of Lambert.
Even though Ariana didn't understand how or why, according to her past life memories, Lambert would emerge as a dark horse in the business world in the future.
Ariana began to think that Lambert's present situation might not be too good, and maybe that's why he was hiding his abilities.
Lambert was somewhat surprised by her question, "Are you showing concern for me? Tsk, you surprised me."
"Pshh, you're overthinking it. I just casually asked. If there’s nothing else, I'll hang up now." She said indignantly, then hung up the phone without giving Lambert time to respond.
Lambert was taken aback. He glanced at the phone screen that had switched back to the main screen and smirked.
Over the next few days, although Ariana went to school, she went out of her way to avoid Vincent.
When Vincent couldn't wait any longer and approached Ariana directly, he was still politely persuaded to leave.
Because Jane's depressed mood made the house somewhat unpeaceful, Gilbert and Georgia were more dissatisfied with Vincent.
Thus, Vincent could only temporarily try to regain the favor of Gilbert and Georgia.
However, Ariana, in fact, deliberately concealed some things.
Ever since that quarrel with her, Jane was convinced that Ariana was being possessed by a demon. She secretly prayed and consulted spiritualists in hopes of finding someone to exorcise the demon inside her.
She secretly put amulets in Ariana's room and even made a voodoo doll in her own room.
Serene tipped her off, and Ariana took the opportunity to propose a thorough cleaning of the house to clear off the bad energy, and in the process confiscated all of Jane's spiritual consulting items. This angered Gilbert and Georgia, they were utterly disappointed in Jane.
At Ariana's suggestion, they even invited a psychologist for Jane, which only served to infuriate Jane even more.
Due to Jane's constant ramblings, the psychiatrist suggested sending her to the psychiatric ward for examination. Ariana volunteered to take Jane to the hospital as her parents were too busy with their work.
Ariana sat outside the examination room, quietly listening to the crazed commotion made by Jane inside.
"Ariana! You wretched woman, you're the sick one, you're the mental case!"
The heart-wrenching screams of rage brought an inexplicable pleasure to Ariana. Suddenly, Jane managed to break free and run out of the room, furiously lunging at Ariana and grabbing her by the throat.
Jane, eyes red and filled with anger and madness, yelled: "Ariana, how dare you say I'm mentally ill!"
Ariana snorted, luckily, Jane had been struggling for a long time, she had no strength at all. So Ariana was able to break free from her grip with ease, while people from behind restrained Jane.
Just as Ariana was about to fight back, she was suddenly shoved hard out of the way. Lambert managed to hold Jane's hand that was wielding the scalpel.
"Lambert! I knew you and Ariana had something going on! You pair of bastards!"
Jane saw that the person who saved Ariana was him, and she started struggling like a madwoman.
Lambert frowned slightly, not wanting to engage more with this madwoman, he forcibly took the scalpel from her and shoved Jane away abruptly.
The doctor seized the opportunity and immediately rushed over to inject Jane with a tranquilizer. She soon fell unconscious.
Lambert angrily glared at Ariana and said in a stern voice, "Ariana, do you have a death wish?"
Ariana was surprised at the sudden appearance of Lambert, but after hearing his stern tone, she retorted coolly, "This is none of your business and how come you're here?"
His timing was too perfect, raising her suspicions.
Lambert realized he had lost his composure, but his anger was hard to quell, "Don't think too much. I just came to see someone. As for you - resorting to such extremes just to succeed in your plans, truly fearless!"
Her heart pounded, her expression stiffening slightly, "You… how did you know I intentionally let Jane hurt me?"
Lambert gave a mocking smirk, "I initially thought you were smart. Turns out you’re just a foolish woman who's all bark and no bite."
"You..."
Just as Ariana was about to retort, she caught sight of his arm drenched in blood. The blood trickled down his slender fingers and onto the ground.
