Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 724

"No need." Ariana looked at her and said, "I'll handle the reporters. Just hope that you won't regret this in the future." With that, Ariana turned and walked out.

Georgia stared blankly at Ariana's retreating figure, her mouth opening and closing without knowing what to say.

The knife in her hand had already been taken away by Ariana's bodyguard. Now, there wasn't a single dangerous weapon in the room. Of course, Georgia wasn't someone who would throw caution to the wind; she feared death the most. The reason for her impulsiveness this time was solely for the sake of her only daughter. Now that her daughter was safe, her courage had run out.

All that remained were her trembling fingers.

She turned her head to look at Gilbert. At that moment, Gilbert also looked at her indifferently.

Georgia moved her lips and said, "Gilbert... I..."

Gilbert interrupted, "No need to say more. Just take care of yourself in the future." After speaking, Gilbert placed a card on the coffee table and completely left. Watching Gilbert leave, Georgia couldn't hold back her tears anymore.

She covered her mouth slightly, suppressing her sobs.

She knew very well.

This time, she had completely severed the last thread of maternal bond with Ariana. In the future, Ariana would surely treat her as a complete stranger. As for Gilbert, he was surely disheartened by her previous actions.

But what of it?

Gilbert had already abandoned her long ago, so did it really matter if she was good or bad in his eyes?

As for Ariana.

Even if she didn't do it this time, there was already no real mother-daughter bond between them. At least, at least her Irene was safe. As long as Irene was alright, everything was worth it. She had heard Irene say that the head of the Harper family truly treated her as his own daughter.

Although Kendra married the head of the Harper family, the vast Harper family would not let Kendra call the shots.

As long as Irene maintained her relationship with the Harper family head, things wouldn't be so bad. At least, they would gradually get better in the future.

As long as Irene was okay, then she, as her biological mother, wouldn't have any worries in her later years.

...

Assistant Hills was incredibly efficient. In just an hour, he dealt with those reporters. No longer were there reporters making a commotion at the entrance of the Stone family residence or company. However, the matter still wasn't resolved entirely, as there were still many netizens speculating maliciously or just observing online.

The Stone family's stock market was still in decline.

But to Lambert, this wasn't a major issue.

Back in the day, he managed to boost performance by over fifty percent in such dire circumstances in just one day. A small dip in stock prices was nothing.

Lambert came home early.

He was worried that Ariana might not be home, but fortunately, she was there waiting for him peacefully.

Beside her was the chatty Fanny.

Fanny cautiously chatted with Ariana, her eyes occasionally flashing with a bit of joy, trying to lift Ariana’s spirits.

The three children weren't around, possibly upstairs.

And on the far right sofa...

Damon looked at his wife, who was chattering away, and couldn't help but slightly curl his lips.

He said softly, "Perhaps tomorrow, the Harper family might announce that Irene is no longer part of the family, that she is not a daughter of the Harper family." With Damon's current capabilities, knowing some insider information was quite easy. Besides, it wasn't really a secret anymore.

Except that Fanny hadn't known yet.

Fanny turned her head and gave Damon a glare, saying, "Why are you stirring up trouble?" Then she looked puzzled: "What do you mean by that?"

Damon patted Fanny's head, signaling her not to speak.

Then, Damon calmly stood up and said, "Mr. Stone, my wife and I will be leaving now. Let's meet again when we have time."

Lambert naturally was more than happy to see them leave.

He coldly replied, "Hmm."

Damon didn't mind Lambert's indifferent attitude. He held Fanny's hand, ready to leave. Fanny was completely bewildered, especially with what Damon said halfway, leaving her mind in a bit of a whirl. But being pulled by Damon, she had no choice but to keep quiet, planning to ask him about what he meant after leaving the Stone family.

Seeing the two nuisances finally gone, Lambert then moved over to Ariana's side. Ariana had been silently resting with closed eyes all along, until Lambert stopped beside her, making her slightly and tiredly open her eyes.

Lambert looked at Ariana's slightly bloodshot eyes and pale face and felt a slight pain in his heart.

He asked softly, "Do you feel unwell?"

Ariana shook her head. Lambert assumed Ariana was just overly agitated and upset by today's events, not knowing that Ariana actually felt very physically unwell. Just as Ariana was about to say something, a flash of pain crossed her face, and she suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, then fainted.
