Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 698

Carson was still quite afraid of the old man.

Especially when the old man looked at him with disapproval.

He immediately shrank back, hiding behind his great-grandmother. However, his demeanor remained unchanged, as he continued to look at the old man with unwavering eyes.

The old man couldn't be bothered with him and instead said to Hugh, "Kevin and Carson can now attend kindergarten. Little Luci is already going at this age." Naturally, the kindergarten the Stone family attended was different from ordinary kindergartens.

This kindergarten was a bit more upscale.

It taught many things.

Including etiquette, among others.

In other words, only distinguished families of high standing in the city could get into this kindergarten; others might not even be able to enter if they wanted to.

Hugh also heard his little grandson's words just now, and his expression was somewhat displeased.

Upon hearing this, he quickly replied, "Yes."

Hugh was different from his two brothers; he was now not at the Stone Corporation headquarters, having retired early. With Lambert there, it was the same whether he was at the company or not. So he needed to handle some of the miscellaneous affairs of the Stone family.

Carson somewhat did not understand the atmosphere among the adults.

But he could sense that his great-grandfather and grandfather were somewhat displeased with what he had just said.

He couldn't help but clench his little fists.

Feeling aggrieved and resentful, he thought to himself: Why... Why does everyone like my sister? He disliked his sister, very much so. If only his sister didn't exist. Just like Sister Sheryl said, if he were the youngest in the family, then Dad and Mom would like him the most.

The old lady had no idea what the little guy was thinking at the moment; she assumed that her grandson was too intimidated by her husband's stern expression to speak.

She turned her head and casually asked her eldest son and daughter-in-law, "By the way, hasn't Madelyn returned yet?"

Khloe, who had been enjoying the drama, suddenly changed her expression.

She looked at her mother-in-law somewhat awkwardly.

The old lady frowned, "And Arnold didn't go to the Olson family either? What kind of behavior is this? If people find out, they'll think the Stone family is mistreating her."

Feeling embarrassed, Khloe replied, "I’ll have Arnold bring her back." She did have some grievances against this daughter-in-law. Although the fire wasn’t directly her fault, she was partly to blame. So, for a while, the old lady hadn't shown her a kind face.

Not lashing out was already her being gracious!

How could she possibly let her own son bring her back? Clearly, it was still her mistake.

But now her mother-in-law had spoken.

Moreover, if her daughter-in-law doesn’t return soon, it would indeed raise suspicions. So, despite her annoyance, she agreed to have Arnold bring her back.

The old lady got the answer she wanted and didn't press the matter further.

Then, the three households announced they would be leaving. The old lady and the old gentleman nodded faintly. Jolene hesitated for a moment, looking at her mother-in-law and asking cautiously, "What about Carson…?"

The old lady replied, "Let him sleep here tonight. He's used to sleeping here."

Jolene didn’t dare to argue and quickly nodded.

Since Carson was staying, he would naturally stay in the room he used to occupy. After the old lady spoke kindly to Carson for a while, she finally had a servant escort him back to his room. This time, Carson didn't cause any fuss, perhaps wary of his great-grandfather beside him. After casting a glance at his great-grandmother, he obediently let the servant lead him upstairs by the hand.
