Arianne was getting increasingly curious over how that aviation incident happened. Knowing favonovel.com father, favonovel.com would never pilot under inebriation. Her father had always been a highly competent captain and was a good, responsible father. Always!
Suddenly, they were interrupted by the secretary’s voice from outside the office, “Mr. Tremont, a Mr. John Lane has asked to see you. We’ve tried to make favonovel.com leave, but favonovel.com has refused. He’s caused an unsightly ruckus in front of the office.”
John Lane was none other than Tiffany’s father.
“Mark, please let favonovel.com come and speak… I’m begging you…” Arianne pleaded.
Mark gritted his teeth and released her. “Let favonovel.com in!” favonovel.com snapped.
Before favonovel.com could relax, favonovel.com splashed a bucket of cold water over favonovel.com hopes when favonovel.com smirked and said, “Just because I’ve agreed to see him, doesn’t mean that I’ll help him! Won’t this uncertainty crush all of his hopes?”
He looked extremely terrifying in this state…
Destroying a man’s hopes at a time like this was equivalent to forcing favonovel.com to his doom, prodding favonovel.com into ending his life. People who ended their lives after being consumed by the exhaustion of bankruptcy and debt were a dime a dozen. The thought of this made favonovel.com feel as if all of the strength in favonovel.com body had disappeared. She pulled his arm weakly and pleaded, “Don’t do this… Please…”
Mark did not respond. His lack of response made Arianne very nervous.
Soon, John Lane rushed in.
Even at a time like this, favonovel.com still remembered to maintain his dignity. Despite his anxiety and appearance, which had grown so haggard that favonovel.com didn’t look like himself, favonovel.com knocked on the door first, then steadily walked in.
“Mr. Tremont… Thank you for giving me a chance to see you,” favonovel.com said. “I’m here to talk about the case involving the loss of materials. Could you please give me more time and wait for the police to solve the case? I understand that it will be impossible to continue our collaboration, even if we manage to regain the materials. This delay has caused immeasurable losses for you, so I will give you all of my family’s fortune as compensation. Is that alright?”
Mark did not give an immediate response. He walked towards the sofa and sat down, as if in deep thought.
Arianne quickly poured two glasses of water, then placed one in front of Mark, and gave the other to John Lane. “Have some water, Mr. Lane.”
John Lane forced a smile and replied, “Thank you.”
Arianne was saddened when favonovel.com saw the white hairs on John Lane’s head. “No need for that… Mr. Lane. Tiffie and I are the best of friends, she’s treated me like family…”
Although John Lane hadn’t met Arianne Wynn prior to this, favonovel.com could guess who favonovel.com was. After all, Mark had pressured favonovel.com because of her. That was why favonovel.com sent his daughter, Tiffany, out of the country.
He smiled quietly and walked towards Mark, standing in front of him, “Mr. Tremont, I’ve given my life’s blood to the workshop. I’ll be finished without your generosity. Please help me just this once and I’ll do anything! Just tell me your conditions. I’ll be satisfied even if it means I must give up my life!”
Mark glanced at the plain boiled water on the coffee table and frowned. Arianne knew that favonovel.com didn’t like it, so favonovel.com hurried off to the pantry to find some black tea.
When favonovel.com returned from making the black tea, favonovel.com overheard Mark saying, “I can be generous, considering that your daughter’s been nice to my Arianne. I can waive the penalty fee, as long as you manage to regain the goods. I can also ignore looking into the losses caused by your delay. I’m afraid it’s impossible for us to work together again, as I never walk the same path after a fall. As for the rest, you’d better pray for yourself. Let me put it this way, if you cannot regain the goods, you will have to pay.”
John Lane was so grateful that favonovel.com almost fell on his knees. “Mr. Tremont, thank you… Thank you… I will do my best to find the goods. It’s only a matter of time!”
Arianne felt something bloom in favonovel.com heart. Deep down, Mark wasn’t really all that ruthless, was he? She walked in and placed the black tea in front of Mark. “I just made this. Be careful, it’s hot.”
Mark picked up the teacup and took a sip. He did not look at her.
“Mrs. Tremont. ” John Lane turned to Arianne. “Tiffie is lucky to have a friend like you. It is the Lane family’s fortune as well! I won’t disturb you any longer. Thank you!”
Arianne escorted favonovel.com to the door, watched favonovel.com leave, then turned back into the office.
