Chapter 7

Without a doubt, Jane was someone who could bear a lot. Despite the fact that she had suffered such injustice, she didn't show any sign of it at all. In this regard, Ariana admitted that she was incapable of doing so like Jane. It's a pity she couldn't test her limits today, it would be suspicious. Seeing Jane leave, Vincnet also became restless. The incident just now must have upset her. His gaze shifted subtly, and he turned to Ariana, saying gently, "Your health seems fine now. Would you like me to take you home?" He really couldn't stand a moment without Jane. Ariana saw Vincent's urgency, yet she leisurely replied, "I don't feel well and don't want to leave right now. Do you have something to do?" Vincent was startled. He felt that something was different about Ariana. Before today, she was like a harmless little rabbit, being gentle and easily bullied, easily comprehensible at a glance. However, the current her seemed gentle on the surface, but there was always some inexplicable deep meaning in her words. Especially with her recent act of throwing away the pendant, it sparked a wave of complexity in Vincent's heart. This was the first time he found Ariana difficult to understand. "Actually, I don't really have anything important to do." Vincent said carefully, afraid of arousing her suspicion again. But much to his surprise, Ariana suddenly became remarkably understanding. Seeing Jane go far away, she said in a light-hearted tone, "It's no big deal, Vincent. I can get out of bed, and besides, I have Allison with me. If you have something to do, you can go ahead." In that moment, Ariana looked so adorable and considerable, her eyes filled with affection. Then, VIncent's manly ego was greatly satisfied. He even forgot that she had threw his pendant away earlier. He lowered his guard, caressed Ariana's hair, and smiled affectionately, "I indeed have something to deal with at the company. I will leave first, and when I'm done, I'll take you out for a relaxing trip." A trip? Yeah, a trip for three people. Ariana saw through it but did not point it out. Every time they went on a trip, Jane always tagged along for various reasons, not giving them a chance to be alone. In retrospect, every one of their previous actions seemed ridiculously laughable. No doubt, this trip was also for Jane so that she would forget about the pendant. It was not until Vincent departed that Allison could no longer suppress the doubts bubbling in her heart. She leaned in, cautiously asking, "Ariana, you are acting so strangely" "Am I?" Ariana's eyes glazed over, tranquilly returning the question. "Yes, you are! You requested to marry Lambert but you are still as sweet as ever with Vincent. Your current actions... They're truly peculiar." She had initially thought that her friend and Vincent were on the outs. However, judging from how they interacted, they seemed still to be in a lovey-dovey state. If this was the case, why would Ariana want to get married to Lambert? Everything seemed so weird. "Do you think I'm going mad?" Ariana glanced at Allison with interest, her smile not reaching her eyes. "You probably think I'm being greedy, asking Lambert to marry me while maintaining a premarital relationship with Vincent." Allison did not answer, but indeed, that was what she was thinking. In an instant, Ariana's feet hit the ground. Leading Allison to the window, she gestured for her to look down. "In a moment, you will witness quite a scene."
