Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 89

"Miss Lawrence, why are you coming to me instead of seeking Lambert if you're looking for him?"

Beverly was slightly surprised that Ariana would ask her so directly.

Ariana said, "Actually, Miss Lawrence, there's no need to be this naive. If a man's heart isn't with you, it's useless for you to do anything. With your background and appearance, it's not difficult to find someone who truly cares about you. Why lower your standards for a man who doesn't care about you?"

Beverly choked up, "I..."

She said sagely, "Miss Lawrence, think about it, you've done so much for Lambert. But has he ever cared? A business marriage will only ruin you."

After hearing Ariana's analysis, people around them started to agree.

"Yes, indeed. Miss Lawrence looks pretty nice. Why stake everything on a single throw? What a waste."

"But by that logic, is Professor Stone a jerk?"

"No way..."

Beverly gritted her teeth, Ariana was ostensibly acting in her best interest, but in reality, she was displaying her own superiority.

Yet Ariana managed to phrase it so beautifully, leaving her no choice but to swallow her frustration.

Seeing Beverly trembling with anger, Ariana said meaningfully: "Besides, Miss Lawrence, don't you understand what sort of person Lambert is?"

Understand!

How could she not understand?

Beverly has long known that Lambert has several women, yet she has never cared.

Those women couldn’t even get through the front door of the Stone Family’s mansion.

Comparing previous women to Ariana, Lambert treated her as something special.

"Even so, Miss White is just trying to get involved, isn't that bad?"

Ariana responded lightly with a smile. "Get involved? It was Lambert who pursued me. How can it be me getting involved?"

Beverly couldn't utter a word out of shock, and shouted, "You!"

Beverly stretched out her hand to slap Ariana, but Ariana easily caught her hand.

"Miss Lawrence! Calm down. There might be journalists hiding around. If they capture your dreadful face and it becomes a hot search, it wouldn't look good!"

The onlookers gasped and dumbfoundedly watched the two women.

Beverly froze momentarily, then quickly withdrew her hand from Ariana's grasp. With a hand covering her face, she looked around to see if there were any reporters. When she didn't find anyone, it dawned on her that Ariana was mocking her. Furious, she shouted, "Are you deceiving me?"

She laughed, "Why would I deceive you? If you don't believe me, you can try."

Ariana was serious because her involvement with Lambert had been heavily publicized lately. Journalists often followed them for gossip.

Moreover, the people around them were no less influential than journalists.

Grinding her teeth, Beverly said, "Ariana, you.... Huh, let's wait and see. Lambert seems unruly outside but he can't keep disobeying Grandpa's orders. When the time comes, you may end up with nothing, with nowhere to cry!"

Ariana's approach, although hurtful to Lambert, had seemingly saved her own reputation. As for Beverly's fuss, it had given the impression of desperate pursuit.

However, Allison paused momentarily and found that Ariana was wearing a brand she had never bought before, and frowned at her.

Ariana noticed that Allison's gaze seemed somewhat off, "What's with that look?"

Allison regarded her suspiciously; after glancing around and failing to see anyone nearby, she confronted Ariana, "Where were you last night?"

There was no room for doubt. Allison was well aware of the specific brands Ariana usually wore.

Ariana hesitated as she recalled last night's events and felt a tinge of guilt.

Although nothing happened between them, the fact that she was caught and passionately kissed by Lambert was undeniable.

If she were to tell Allison that she only stayed one night at Lambert's place and that nothing happened, Allison would certainly not believe her.

She cleared her throat nervously, "You're overthinking, I just changed my clothes. Don't worry too much."

Despite her explanation, Allison was still suspicious. She edged closer and sniffed; Ariana smelled completely different, so she kept a suspicious look on her face.

She seemed ready to get mad if she didn't get a confession.

Feeling that she could hide no more, Ariana, somewhat helplessly, told Allison about yesterday's events. However, she left out the part about the forceful kiss.

Listening to the story of Ariana being taken away by Old Mr. Stone, Allison was terrified. Yet, upon finding out Lambert had angered Old Mr. Stone and injured himself to take Ariana away, she seemed to have a slightly better impression of Lambert.

However, one thing still troubled Allison, "You spent the entire night with him, and really, nothing happened?"
