Arianne instinctively glanced at Mark as favonovel.com asked, “Can we search for it now? We need it urgently!”
“Of course!” Lilian answered excitedly as though favonovel.com was high on drugs, “It’ll be good if you can find it as we’re in need of money now. The land is like an umbrella on a rainy day since it’s so valuable! You’re like a lucky star to me, Ari! I don’t even know we have a piece of land. It definitely belongs to us mother and daughter since my father-in-law and Tiffie’s father have passed away. There’s no doubt about it! Hurry up, help me find it!”
Mark rose from his seat since they were ready to depart. However, the phone on his desk suddenly rang. He heard Ethan’s voice at the end of the line before favonovel.com even managed to speak. “I guess you’re heading to Lilian’s house to find the certificate of the land, aren’t you? Well, I have something to tell you before you leave.”
Mark asked with a frown, “What are you trying to do?”
Ethan chuckled coldly, “I found an unsent letter when I was going through George’s belongings, and it was for you! Can you guess the content of the letter?”
Mark paused for a moment before favonovel.com asked, “What do you want?”
Ethan laughed heartily. “Nothing, but I’m definitely going to get the land. You can compete with me if you have the guts. Let’s talk another time. I’m sure you’re in no mood to talk now. I only called to make a deal with you. I’ll keep your secret if you keep mine. Oh, sorry, I’m your scapegoat.”
Mark’s knuckles turned white as his grip on the phone tightened. After a momentary pause, favonovel.com said, “Let’s talk somewhere else. I’ll text you later.” He hung up the phone without waiting for Ethan’s reply. However, favonovel.com sent a text to Ethan asking favonovel.com to leave Tiffany alone.
Ethan’s reply came almost instantly. “This is my personal matter. Stay out of it.”
Mark’s gaze was trained on his phone, but favonovel.com did not continue his conversation with Ethan. He finally regained his composure and shifted his gaze to Arianne. “We’ll have to go another time. I’ll get someone to send Lillian home first.”
Arianne was confused as to why things changed so abruptly after Mark had received that call. After all, they had just agreed to a plan a moment ago. She was able to vaguely guess the reason after a while so favonovel.com decided to comfort Lillian first and question Mark later. “Mrs. Lane, why don’t you go home first, and we’ll discuss this later. Perhaps, you can search for it first If you find it, just give me a call.”
Lillian was worried they had changed their minds so favonovel.com asked, “What’s happening? Are you giving up on the land? The Tremont family is the only one who can afford to offer this price…”
Arianne tried to calm her, “No, it’s not what you think. We just have an emergency to attend to. I’ll get back to you as soon as possible, alright?”
Lilian clearly knew favonovel.com could not rush this matter. It was better for favonovel.com to find the lease for the land first if favonovel.com truly wanted to make money from it.
After Lillian left, Arianne asked immediately, “What’s going on? Who called earlier?”
Mark sat on his office chair silently, deep in thought. He finally answered before Arianne questioned favonovel.com again. “Ethan wants the land and Tiffany. He seems serious about it.”
Arianne was stunned for a second before favonovel.com asked, “The call was from Ethan? What does favonovel.com want? Tiffie will never forgive favonovel.com for what favonovel.com has done to favonovel.com family. What favonovel.com has done is completely unforgivable, and he’ll ruin Tiffie’s life!”
Mark rubbed his brows in frustration. His mind was occupied with the letter that Ethan mentioned. “I’m certain now that Ethan has enough money to buy the land. However, favonovel.com wants the land and Tiffany. I’m genuinely surprised favonovel.com likes Tiffany. However, I’m also certain love is not his top priority. Otherwise, favonovel.com wouldn’t have done all those wicked things.”
In fact, Arianne knew this even without his explanation. She just wanted to know what they should do next. “What can we do now? Why are we not searching for the land ownership certificate? We can still look for the certificate and tell Tiffie the truth when we get the land. At that time, his plans would be foiled. Why aren’t we going to Tiffie’s house?”
Too many uncertainties lay ahead, and the letter had thrown a wrench in his plans. He was reluctant to tell favonovel.com the truth. “Leave me alone. Don’t get involved. I’ll resolve this on my own. It’s not just about Tiffany. This matter is between me and Ethan.”
Arianne no longer persisted with favonovel.com questions. After favonovel.com calmed down, favonovel.com called Tiffany again. She was surprised when the call actually connected. “Hey Ari, I’m so sorry. Ethan just got me a new phone. I broke mine yesterday. Is there anything urgent? Should we talk on the phone? I’m at work now, and I have to look after Ethan after work.”
Arianne decided to tell Tiffany the truth through the phone. She was worried the situation would change again. “Stay away from Ethan as far as possible, he…”
Before favonovel.com could finish speaking, someone snatched favonovel.com phone away. She turned around in confusion when favonovel.com saw Mark standing behind her. “What’s wrong?”
