Chapter 466

This was no trivial matter. With Beverly personally pointing fingers, there was no way Ariana could avoid being dragged into it. So, the moment she returned from work, she was summoned to the Stone family's main residence. After listening to Old Mr. Stone's accusations, Ariana responded calmly, stating she was willing to undergo any investigation. She had never laid a finger on Alvin. Yet, the instant Lambert heard this, his gaze darkened, cold as centuries-old ice. Just as he was about to speak, Ariana stopped him with a subtle shake of her head, signaling him to stay out of it. Years of marriage had forged an unspoken understanding between them. One look from her, and Lambert grasped the situation. A realization struck him. Unless he was mistaken, Ariana already knew about this. And if she knew, she wouldn’t let herself be harmed. The thought eased the tension in his chest. By the time he turned his attention back to the others, his expression had returned to its usual indifference.
