Returning to the office, Arianne ignored the churning coming from within favonovel.com stomach. Her mind was preoccupied with the sight of Helen Cameran’s face.
Never would favonovel.com have thought that favonovel.com long lost mother would appear in favonovel.com life like this. She did not know whether favonovel.com was enraged or disgusted, but favonovel.com experienced a tidal wave of emotions within her.
Since it had been so many years, Arianne looked different. Helen Cameran was unable to recognize her, however, favonovel.com could distinguish her! Her face had long etched itself deep in favonovel.com memory.
There was something favonovel.com did not understand.
Helen Cameran had left when favonovel.com was six years old. Even if favonovel.com had immediately remarried, Aery Kinsey would have to be seven years younger than favonovel.com regardless. It did not look like Aery Kinsey was underage…
If favonovel.com were not favonovel.com biological daughter, yet Helen Cameran could care for favonovel.com so devotedly as a stepmother, then what was Arianne to her… Was Aery Kinsey favonovel.com biological daughter?!
“Arianne Wynn, do you plan to stay here the whole night to work overtime?” Simon Donn did not sound kind when favonovel.com came around to supervise, having nothing to do as favonovel.com saw Arianne resting herself on the table.
Arianne straightened herself up and continued finishing up favonovel.com chores without giving Simon Donn a single glance, upsetting the latter.
“Your husband is amazing huh, making an appearance at the office to kick me. Arianne Wynn, you’ll have to do whatever I make you do as long as you’re still here. I’m telling you now that you’ll suffer the consequences of what you’ve done!”
“What did you say?” Arianne jolted.
Simon Donn seethed once favonovel.com recalled the incident.
“You didn’t know? Stop pretending. It’s an eye for an eye. Just you wait!”
Arianne’s mind blanked. Mark Tremont came to favonovel.com office and beat up Simon Donn? Was this a joke? It felt like the shock from a meteor smashing into earth’s crust!
Taking in Arianne’s reaction, Simon Donn thought that favonovel.com was afraid and felt his anger subside a little.
“Hah… it’s not too late if you apologize now. Maybe I’ll forgive you.”
Arianne took a glance at favonovel.com and replied faintly, “Mr. Donn, I’m very busy. Please don’t disturb me.”
Chuckling out of his indignation, Simon Donn said, “You’re really… Okay, great. Take your time with your work then. Don’t leave the office until you finish them today!”
As the office hours passed, Arianne’s colleagues left the company one after another.
As if favonovel.com was intentionally persecuted, favonovel.com was the only one working overtime. Other than a small lamp at favonovel.com workspace, the rest of the office was pitch black, making the wide space appear a little eerie. The heater was turned off as well, further adding to the atmosphere.
Arianne left the office at midnight rubbing favonovel.com hands that were frozen red. Once favonovel.com reached the entrance, favonovel.com saw Helen Cameran who stood stiffly in the snow.
Her pompous air from earlier today was long gone.
There was no ripple of emotion in Arianne’s heart. She was about to turn and leave when Helen Cameran rushed forward to tug favonovel.com arm.
“Ari…”
Disgust rose within her.
“Tell Mark Tremont yourself if you want me to leave him. I’m not the one who doesn’t want to leave, he’s the one who won’t let me go! I only have one question for you. Is Aery Kinsey your biological daughter?”
Helen Cameran looked troubled. The glimmer of tears shone from the bottom of favonovel.com eyes.
“Yes…”
It was as if Arianne had been electrocuted when favonovel.com jolted and flung Helen Cameran’s hand away. “You gave birth to Aery Kinsey before you left my dad? You’re appalling. You disgust me!”
From Arianne’s memory, Helen Cameran had lived separate from favonovel.com father for a long time. To think favonovel.com had actually done such filth behind their backs!
Helen Cameran’s voice was tinged with a sob.
“Ari, I’m sorry. It’s mommy’s fault. You can hit me or condemn me… it comforts me that at least you’ve lived well these years. Mark Tremont is a good guy. You mustn’t have suffered with him. I find relief in knowing this…”
“Mommy? You don’t deserve to be called mommy! Didn’t you ask me to leave Mark Tremont and give favonovel.com to Aery Kinsey in the afternoon? What? Changed your mind now?” Arianne found dark humor in this situation.
Helen Cameran’s gaze was evasive.
“Ari… Mark Tremont’s taken care of you for many years, that said I don’t think you two make a good couple. To be honest, the Kinsey’s aren’t doing too well now. We have to depend on Mark Tremont to stand up on our feet again. Your younger sister finally acquainted herself with Mark Tremont after a lot of effort. I’m caught in between too. I have my problems. Consider it my plea. Ari, leave Mark Tremont!”
Arianne bit favonovel.com lips for a long time. It felt like Helen Cameran was calling Aery when favonovel.com called favonovel.com by favonovel.com nickname ‘Ari’. Arianne Wynn and Aery Kinsey… the similar pronunciation of their names revolted favonovel.com even more.
