She pondered over Jackson’s question for a moment before favonovel.com said, “Not yet, but soon. By the way, have you told your mom that we’ve broken up? I won’t be able to act with you anymore.”
Jackson seemed to have lost his voice at this moment. He did not speak for along time.
Tiffany was slightly taken aback. “What’s wrong with you? You can’t stand seeing someone getting into a relationship? Just because you’re against marriage, it doesn’t mean that I am. Moreover, I’ve known Ethan for three years, we’re quite compatible.”
He pursed his lips, “Close the door and come here.”
Tiffany closed the door as instructed and went up to him. “What?”
Jackson suddenly leaned over his desk and grabbed Tiffany’s shoulders. Their eyes met, and favonovel.com could feel his firm hold on favonovel.com shoulders. He said seriously, “You can’t return to him.”
“What’s your problem?” Tiffany was truly confused. His expression alarmed her. After all, it was pretty scary to see a usually frivolous man becoming serious.
“Yes, you’ve been together for three years. I don’t know if favonovel.com understands you, but I have no doubt that you don’t understand him. I mean it when l say you can’t make up with him. Stay away from him!”
Tiffany moved his hands away. “Are you crazy! You may be my boss, but you can’t be this controlling! Give me a reason at least.”
Upon realizing that favonovel.com had lost his self-control, Jackson recomposed himself before favonovel.com replied, “Speak to Arianne. She might be able to provide you with some information. You’re right, I’m just your boss. Our relationship is that of an employer and an employee. I don’t want to overstep my boundary. ”
Tiffany turned and left in anger, slamming the door.
The staff in the office were shocked by favonovel.com courage. How dare favonovel.com throw a tantrum at the boss?

Jackson rose to his feet, irritated, as favonovel.com removed his suit jacket and threw them on the sofa. He picked up his phone and sent a text message to Arianne. ‘Tiffany is showing signs of getting back together with Ethan. If Mark has told you anything about Ethan, please make sure you relay it to Tiffany too. Shame on favonovel.com for exploiting favonovel.com once, but shame on favonovel.com for being a fool for the second time!’
Arianne became anxious when favonovel.com received Jackson’s message. She did not expect things would escalate so quickly between Tiffany and Ethan. Moreover, Tiffany had never been able to hide anything from her, favonovel.com did not expect to be blindsided by this. She was convinced Ethan harbored ulterior motives. It could not possibly be love. It was absolutely impossible!
Tiffany had suffered enough, Arianne could not stand watching favonovel.com being used by Ethan all over again. After giving it some thought, favonovel.com could only go to Mark He was the only one who could stop this and find out Ethan’s motives in approaching Tiffany again.
Arianne was sweating bullets by the time favonovel.com arrived at Tremont Tower, only to be told by Ellie that Mark was not in his office but in the conference room. Before Ellie could even finish speaking, Arianne had run off in the direction of the conference room. Since favonovel.com had been to the conference room, favonovel.com knew where it was.
The moment favonovel.com barged into the conference room, the voices inside immediately ceased, and everyone shifted their attention to her.
Mark was leaning back against his chair at the head of the table, listening to a presentation. The commotion made favonovel.com sit up straight. “What’s going on?”
All the executives in the meeting were holding their breaths. Mark would definitely lose his temper if anyone dared to interrupt a meeting. Just because favonovel.com was nice to everyone in the company, it did not mean favonovel.com did not have a temper.
“I… It’s an emergency… Can I have a moment of your time?” Arianne was panting slightly, not realizing what favonovel.com had done.
Mark rose to his feet and made his way to favonovel.com as favonovel.com casually adjusted his tie with his slender fingers.
The executives were flabbergasted when they saw this.
Arianne remained silent until they were in the office. “Ethan is deliberately approaching TIffie again. He must have some ulterior motives. Jackson told me that she’s about to get back with him. I can’t allow this to happen. I was going to tell favonovel.com everything about Ethan in the afternoon, but favonovel.com postponed it to tonight instead. I’m guessing favonovel.com has a lunch date with him!”
Mark looked at favonovel.com indifferently, “This is why you came looking for me?”
She was slightly taken aback. “I…. Y-yes…”
He went to his desk and made a call with the landline phone. “Send me the information regarding the unfinished building right away.”
Two minutes after making the call, Mark took out his phone and checked his mailbox before handing it to Arianne. “Do you understand now? The land that the unfinished building was built on belongs to the Lane family. Tiffany is probably unaware of this. When Ethan bought the unfinished building, a land title conflict occurred. However, the truth is the lease is expiring soon, and favonovel.com couldn’t find the owner to renew it. I already found someone to expose this. There’s no way I’ll let favonovel.com invest in it. I just didn’t expect favonovel.com would be able to track down the landowner so soon.”
“According to my investigation, lands are generally leased for seventy years. And yet, the lease contract for this land is only forty years. It’ll expire in five years. This means that it was leased out thirty-five years ago, probably for some other purposes before the construction of the building. Since the area wasn’t developed back then, the land hardly had any value. The Lane family might have even forgotten about it since the lease contract wasn’t under John’s name but Tiffany’s grandfather who was still alive back then. Strictly speaking, the landowner should be Tiffany’s grandfather. It’s evident that Ethan only approached Tiffany for the sake of the unfinished building on the land that’s rising in value. He’s hoping to get the land without spending a dime and maybe even earn himself a girl.”
