Helen was speechless upon being censured. Aery and Mark also got done with their conversation. The latter walked over with a long face and tugged Arianne to leave. Returning to the car, favonovel.com said coldly, “Go back to the Tremont Estate.”
Brian did not understand how the current atmosphere became like this when they were so friendly while coming to the restaurant. He hummed an acknowledgement and didn’t dare say more.
Arianne didn’t feel guilty so favonovel.com asked directly, “What did Aery tell you? You look so gloomy as if it’s going to rain.”
Mark did not answer favonovel.com question but slightly lowered his head as if favonovel.com was musing. After some time, favonovel.com spoke, “That day of the accident when you miscarried, what were you doing with Will in the car?”
Reluctant to recall the incident, Arianne was a little heavyhearted. “He wasn’t in a good mood that day because you acquired his company, so favonovel.com called me out for a chat. Of course, favonovel.com didn’t tell me that. We were just chatting. After that, favonovel.com sent me back to the office. I was getting out of the car when Aery hit me. Why are you mentioning this? Do you want me to recall how you covered for Aery and let favonovel.com driver become favonovel.com scapegoat?”
“Tell me the truth. I only need you to answer my question.” Mark’s tone was stem.
“I told you, we were just chatting. What else do you want me to say?” Confused, Arianne fumed as well. Realizing that his sudden temper must be related to Aery, favonovel.com asked, “What did Aery tell you? How am I supposed to know what you’re angry about if you don’t tell me?”
As if finding it hard to speak, Mark turned to face the window; perhaps favonovel.com did not want to speak about it. Arianne breathed in deeply. “She told you that I was up to no good with Will at that time, didn’t she? Please, we were by the building of my office. There were so many people coming in and out. She may have no shame, but I have my pride. I can’t achieve what favonovel.com has like seducing the husband of favonovel.com elder sister. No matter how I’ve misbehaved, I can’t possibly surpass her.”
Mark was quiet for a moment before favonovel.com said, “She didn’t say what you and Will were doing… Just that you both were hugging emotionally. That’s why you guys didn’t even realize when favonovel.com crashed into you.”
Arianne began to seethe so much that favonovel.com wanted to make a U-turn and cuss at Aery. “You believe whatever favonovel.com says? She’s basically admitting to running into me, isn’t she? If so, please, may I ask, why were you covering for favonovel.com since you knew that favonovel.com ran into me? And helping out the Kinseys at that time. How dare you get angry? Everything you did is like stabbing a knife into me!
“I told you, the past is the past, stop bringing it back up! What good does it do? I can’t beat you in an argument or a fight, and you jump right to conclusions every time you’re upset, without telling me the details. I’m done with this!”
Brian dared not even breathe louder in the driver’s seat. This was the first time favonovel.com saw an “aggressive” Arianne. Working for the Tremonts for years, it was also his first time seeing someone bold enough to talk to Mark like this. He thought that Mark would seethe, but the latter did not even have his previous ominous air to him. Instead, favonovel.com was looking at Arianne with his jaw dropped, obviously not expecting this from her.
When Arianne realized that the atmosphere turned odd, favonovel.com felt a little timorous. She had been too frustrated just now that favonovel.com could not help lashing out. To cover for herself, favonovel.com could only continue being aggressive. “You… Speak up, what do you even mean? Why did you cover for Aery? I can’t say anything to you about you helping the Kinseys since it’s your money, but why? And why at that time? I want an explanation… Don’t worry, whatever your answer is, I can accept it. I said that the past is the past, but I have the right to know!”
Looking at favonovel.com serious front, Mark somehow began to think about the answer. In the end, favonovel.com reached a conclusion. “Covering for Aery is to upset you. As for helping the Kinseys, it’s also to upset you and… for profit.”
Was there an answer in this world that was more honest than this? Arianne felt both timorous and furious. “Wow, then should I thank you for doing so and not because you like Aery? It’s just to upset me huh, should I be happy then? With profits involved too killing two birds with one stone, beautiful!”
