Mark thought for a while. “We’ll talk about it later when I’m back. Still busy right now. There are still a lot of things we need to buy for Nina’s new place.”
In the afternoon, Arianne met up with Tiffany at the Southern Cafe. Both of them looked glum. There was no news from Jackson’s side, but Annie was merciless. She immediately found someone to edit the article and posted it on the Internet. The views skyrocketed within a few hours. Tiffany was the only one exposed in the article and there was no sight of Jackson in the photo. Not even his shadow. In the end, this just made Tiffany feel like favonovel.com was the only one shouldering the blame for everything.
Arianne had always despised these condemning news. “I called Mark just now; favonovel.com will find Jackson. Don‘t worry, I won’t let this news stay on the Internet for more than a day. You’re not to be blamed for this.”
Tiffany took a sip of favonovel.com coffee then curled favonovel.com lips. “How can I not be blamed? The fact is, I still slept with someone else’ s man. Although I suffered some losses, that woman got the worst of it. Fortunately, we were only sleeping and didn’t do anything else. Damn, that Jackson. He already has a woman. Isn’t it better to sleep with her? I really don’t get what’s going on in his mind. I ended up being made into a villain. I guess I should maintain a respectful distance from these rich guys.”
As soon as favonovel.com finished speaking, favonovel.com phone received a bank transaction notification. The amount stated on it stunned her. “Ari… I think I didn’t suffer any losses after all. I got a four-figure paycheck for sleeping a night without doing anything else…”
Arianne was amused by her. “You silly girl! You can’t buy back your reputation with money. You’ll understand that when you get married one day. Trivial things like these will become a thorn in your husband’s side and root causes of many fights. Although Mark never directly said it, favonovel.com still minds about the scandal I was involved in back then…”
Tiffany smiled knowingly. “Ari, you’ve really grown up and matured. It seems like marriage will indeed accelerate the growth in some people. In the past, you were always that delicate damsel that needed protection in my eyes. Not only that, you were also not good with words and was always timid. But now, you’re different. I don’t really mind now that things have escalated to this point. I’m already living in hell, now nothing can be worse than that.”
A ringtone interrupted their conversation. Arianne knew it wasn’t favonovel.com phone so favonovel.com looked at Tiffany. “Is that from Jackson?”
Tiffany shook favonovel.com head. “It’s my mom.”
As soon as favonovel.com picked up the call, Arianne could hear Lillian’s voice even though Tiffany didn’t put it on speakerphone. “Where the hell are you! What’s with the news on the Internet? Here I am, wondering why you’re no longer at home at night! Are you doing these shameful things to embarrass me?”
Tiffany seemed to be very used to it. She sipped on favonovel.com coffee nonchalantly and retorted, “If I don’t do ‘shameful things’ like this, how am I going to find money for you to gamble and buy branded goods? If I were you, I wouldn’t have the face to ask these questions. Alright, leave me alone for now.”
As soon as favonovel.com finished speaking, favonovel.com ended the call and instantly turned off favonovel.com phone.
Arianne couldn’t help but say, “Jackson still hasn’t contacted you until now? He only transferred you the money?”
Tiffany nodded. “I’m guessing that favonovel.com got into a big problem with his woman. I think she’s a pretty feisty one. All I’m worried about now is losing my job. If that woman finds out that I work for Jackson, she’ll never let me off the hook I’ve already mentally prepared myself over the possibility of losing my job. I’m out of groceries at home, so gotta do some shopping first. We’ll call it a day. I’ll give you a call if anything comes up.”
By the time Arianne returned to the Tremont Estate, it was dinner time. Since Mark wasn’t home yet, favonovel.com took it as Nina having asked favonovel.com to stay for dinner, so favonovel.com didn’t inquire further. After one afternoon, Tiffany’s incident got even more intense. Some people had even started crowdsourcing information about Tiffany.
Arianne was so worried that favonovel.com could hardly eat or sleep. She wanted to wait for Mark to come back and discuss the next course of action. Who knew by midnight, favonovel.com still wasn’t home yet. She couldn’t help but call to ask. Unexpectedly, the call didn’t go through. His phone was turned off.
