Arianne was shocked, “What did you say?”
He fell momentarily silent before calmly explaining, “Remember that thing that Charles Moran mentioned? You overheard my conversation with Jude in the study too. That ba*tard is Ethan. He’s very dangerous, so you and Tiffany should stay away from him. Remember that incident back when you were still in university? That knife you took for me when that cafeteria lady’s crazy son suddenly attacked me? Ethan instigated him. Most importantly, favonovel.com was the master manipulator behind the Lane family’s missing goods. That man who died in the fire was only a sacrificial lamb. Ethan suddenly started a company after leaving Tiffany and bought that unfinished building too. Where do you think that money came from? That’s all you need to know. I can’t tell you anything more. He’s done all of that to get me, but you have to know that favonovel.com has an agenda behind everything favonovel.com does. He’s not a normal person.”
Arianne was having difficulties with digesting this revelation, “You mean… Ethan’s always had an ulterior motive, back when favonovel.com started getting close to Tiffie? He’s not only treated favonovel.com as a stepping stone for three years, and favonovel.com even personally caused the Lane family’s How could this be… This is too much. Tiffie was very much in love with him, favonovel.com was so good to him. How could favonovel.com do this? He did all of that to push you down? Even if favonovel.com wanted his share of the family fortune as a Tremont b*stard, there are many other ways to do it. Even announcing his true identity to the public would have been better than all those horrible things he’s done! Also… that reunion three years ago, my picture with Will. Was favonovel.com behind that too? That incident with Will and I in the hotel, was favonovel.com involved in that too? I can’t think of anyone else who’d do it. I suspected Aery at one point, but it didn’t really seem to add up.”
She connected the dots to these incidents because they would have a definite effect on Mark once word of them got out. Tiffany was not Ethan’s only pawn in his game against Mark, for he’d manipulated favonovel.com too. She never expected this, but recalling these memories filled favonovel.com with fear.
Mark did not want to drag the topic any deeper, “So you’re not that stupid after all. He doesn’t want money or the Tremont family fortune. He just wants justice for his mother and himself. A mistress and a secret ba*tard, what kind of justice could favonovel.com possibly have? What a joke. I will fix this. You don’t have to worry about it. Just remember what I’ve said, stay away from him.”
Arianne simply couldn’t calm down after discovering all of this. She had considered the possibility of Mark making a mistake, because this was simply too unfair to Tiffany. However, Ethan had managed to fork out hundreds of thousands of dollars to repay Tiffany after their breakup, and had suddenly become obscenely rich. How could that be explained?
She couldn’t help wanting to seed in more doubts, “I… I don’t mean anything else, I just want to know, but what on earth happened with Ethan and his mother? Since he’s racked his brains so much, favonovel.com certainly won’t let the matter go. Of course, it’d be best to solve the matter because no one’s going to benefit from this if it keeps dragging on. Your international branch closures must have had something to do with favonovel.com too, right?”
Mark fell silent. He remembered his father’s honesty on the night before that flight and the pale, hopeless look on his mother’s face. That woman, who had given everything to the Tremont family… finally followed that ungrateful man onto the plane and never came down again…
Ethan and his mother were two lines that favonovel.com had refused to touch. They were the Tremont family’s deepest and darkest secrets. He gradually tightened his grip around the steering wheel, losing control over his emotion. Left with no choice, favonovel.com swerved the car onto the side of the road. “The Tremont family affairs have nothing to do with you. I’ve said enough. Don’t ask anymore!”
Arianne was frightened by his sudden change in attitude and didn’t dare say another word. She suddenly realized that favonovel.com may have seemed calm when favonovel.com mentioned the b*stard, but in reality, favonovel.com couldn’t bear facing the Tremont family’s past. He had already gathered a lot of courage in order to tell favonovel.com these things. She shouldn’t have probed him.
“So-Sorry, I shouldn’t have asked. Thank you for telling me. I’ll tell Tiffie to cease all forms of contact with him. Let’s go home, okay?” She had suddenly realized that favonovel.com had a vulnerable side too, so favonovel.com didn’t blame favonovel.com for his outburst.
The car continued on its journey back to the Tremont Estate. The pair did not say another word.
As they walked through the doors upon their return to the Tremont Estate, favonovel.com coldly reminded her, “Don’t go out for the time being. It’s too hot and bad for your health. Wait for a month, then you can go wherever you want.”
These words of concern were spoken in the most cold and distant tone. No one else in this world could convey these words so naturally, except him.
She did not quibble with favonovel.com over his tone. After all, favonovel.com had upset favonovel.com by asking questions that favonovel.com shouldn’t have.
Just as favonovel.com was getting ready to go back to the guest room, favonovel.com found that Mary had put everything on the guestroom bed away. She found Mary and asked, “Why did you put everything in the guestroom away?”
Mary seemed puzzled, “Previously, you slept in the guestroom due to inconvenience. Everything is fine now, so why would you continue sleeping in separate rooms? You’re still young. Feelings require close proximity in order to last. Which young couple would sleep apart? Be good, go back to Mr. Tremont’s room.”
She felt helpless, “Mary! I was doing fine in the guestroom. Set it up for me.”
