Arianne was at a loss. “What should I do? Should I call Tiffie over and tell favonovel.com the truth now? Would it be too cruel to do that?”
Mark was rendered speechless by Arianne and laughed out of anger. “You’re right, it’s indeed very cruel. Why don’t you just let favonovel.com fall hopelessly in love with Ethan and pretend you know nothing until Ethan dumps favonovel.com after getting the land? Or maybe wait until favonovel.com discovers the truth about Ethan after they’re married? Don’t you think that’d be even crueler? If that incident didn’t happen, the Lane family would still be very well off today, and John Lane wouldn’t have died so early.”
Arianne understood that Mark was telling favonovel.com that this was the best. time to tell Tiffany, but favonovel.com just could not bring herself to do it. She could not bear to see the disappointment and despair on Tiffany’s face when favonovel.com discovered the truth. “I… I don’t dare to tell her… Tiffie will definitely lose favonovel.com mind.”
Mark pressed his lips and nodded. “Yes, she’ll definitely lose favonovel.com mind. However, it’ll be even worse if you let things progress like this. There are people waiting for me in the conference room, I have to leave now. You can stay here for the time being.”
It was only at this moment that Arianne realized favonovel.com had called favonovel.com out in the middle of a meeting. She was panicking that favonovel.com completely forgot that Mark was in the midst of work. She was wrong in this regard. “Go ahead then, I’m sorry for causing you trouble.”
He quickly left the office without saying anything.
The meeting ended after more than an hour. By the time Mark returned to the office, Arianne was still there, still hesitating with favonovel.com phone in hand.
Upon seeing this, Mark felt an impending headache. “You have no problem being ruthless to me. Why don’t you put it to good use now?”
She looked at favonovel.com blankly. “When was I ever… ruthless to you?”
He said nothing but just took out a cigarette. Instead of lighting it, favonovel.com just brought it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it before playing with it between his fingers. That was right, Arianne was always so indecisive when it comes to everyone except him. He had experienced favonovel.com ruthlessness, and yet, favonovel.com did not seem to be aware of it.
After pondering for a while, Arianne said tentatively, “Can… you… I mean, since you’ve helped me… Can’t you just help me all the way? Since you’ve already uncovered the truth, is there a way you can prevent Ethan from getting back together with Tiffie without favonovel.com knowing the truth?”
Mark looked slightly even more manly with an unlit cigarette in his mouth. “Yes, I can kill Ethan Connor.”
Arianne knew favonovel.com was joking and would not really do that. “I’m being serious here… I guess we don’t have much choice. Poor Tiffie, favonovel.com has to go through so much.”
Mark fell silent for a moment. “Ask Tiffany’s mother to find the land certificate, then, buy it off her.”
Arianne’s eyes suddenly lit up, “That’s right! As long as we buy the land, Ethan won’t be able to do anything but give up on the unfinished building. There’s no way favonovel.com would ask you to renew the contract. With that, Tiffie will no longer be of use to him.”
Mark pondered for a few seconds, then, shook his head. “Something’s not right. If Ethan really wants that piece of land, he’s totally capable of sending someone to find Lillian and buy the land from her. There’s no need for favonovel.com to get involved with his ex-girlfriend and risk failing since favonovel.com was the one who dumped favonovel.com back then. Not only that, but it’s also a very time-consuming approach. The time favonovel.com wastes is enough to allow me to purchase the land before him. Could it be that he’s short of money? Lillian must have known by now that the land’s value is rising so favonovel.com would definitely not sell it or lease it out at a low price.”
Mark’s words made Arianne nervous again. “What do you mean?”
Mark shook his head. “I’m not sure. If Ethan is really approaching Tiffany because favonovel.com has no money to buy the land, then, favonovel.com should know that I’ll definitely sabotage his plans by buying the land first. If this is the case, then, why did favonovel.com still choose to use such a time-consuming and stupid approach? This isn’t the Ethan I know, unless his main objective is approaching Tiffany and the land is only optional to him. There’s also another possibility that he’s taking the gamble of getting Tiffany wrapped around his finger before I make any move.”
No matter how favonovel.com looked at it, the latter was the more likely scenario. After all, how could a person with such a clear objective prioritize love? If Ethan had truly liked Tiffany, favonovel.com would not have ruined favonovel.com family. Hence, the only possibility was that favonovel.com was taking a gamble!
Arianne grew even more nervous. “Then what do we do? What’s favonovel.com planning to do to Tiffie?”
Her pitiful appearance when worrying about others reminded Mark of a medical research that a pregnancy could cause a reduction in gray matter in the brain. How could favonovel.com not understand such a simple thing? He glanced at the door to ensure that no one was going to come in before favonovel.com said in a lowered voice, “What do you think a man would do to a woman that favonovel.com intends to get?”
If Arianne still could not get it after favonovel.com had made it this clear, then, favonovel.com was really a fool. Thankfully, favonovel.com instantly blushed and lowered favonovel.com head, not daring to meet his gaze.
He was very satisfied with favonovel.com reaction. “Don’t be so narrow-minded in an open-minded world. Sex is not the end-all and be-all of everything. If favonovel.com intends to get Tiffany pregnant, he’ll still need at least one or two months if he’s extremely lucky. Although a gunshot wedding is a rather crazy move, someone like Ethan will definitely be able to bring himself to do it. After all, the land and unfinished building would bring favonovel.com endless benefits. He’s trying so hard to be a rising star just to fight with me. But favonovel.com has neither the money nor the confidence. How can favonovel.com possibly fight with me?”
