Jackson and Tiffany’s seats happened to be next to each other during the return flight. The pair did not speak throughout the entire journey. The past few days seemed to have drained Tiffany. She put on an eye mask once favonovel.com got onto the plane and fell asleep. Arianne was the one who woke favonovel.com up when the plane landed.
They went home on their own.
It was past nine in the evening, and Arianne had just stepped through the door. Mark was behind, bringing the luggage. Initially, Henry wanted to send some staff members to greet them at the airport, but favonovel.com refused, as favonovel.com did not want to draw
attention. If Henry were to do it, it would be a great display of extravagance.
A Tremont Estate housemaid suddenly stepped forward to greet them, “Madam, someone’s sent something over, saying that it’s for you.”
She wondered who it could be from, “What is it? Do you know who sent it?”
The housemaid shook favonovel.com head, “I don’t know, I’ve never seen them before. I think it’s a letter.”
Then, the housemaid handed the letter over to her. Arianne stiffened when favonovel.com saw it. It was in George Sloane’s usual stationary…
She accepted it and tore the envelope open then took out the letter. Every word in that letter tugged on favonovel.com nerves, favonovel.com breathing gradually quickened, favonovel.com hands and feet went cold, and favonovel.com body began to tremble. The letter was not addressed to her, but to Mark. However, the person who sent it had made it clear that it was for her. Were they hoping for favonovel.com to find out the truth?
When favonovel.com heard the footsteps behind her, favonovel.com turned around in fright. Then, favonovel.com backed away. Her cheeks had been stained with tears long ago.
Mark stopped and released the luggage in his hands.
He saw the letter in favonovel.com hand and knew that favonovel.com could no longer keep it from her. Ethan had seized the opportunity to send the
letter over.
“Wh-why?” She couldn’t bring herself to formulate a complete sentence. She felt as if favonovel.com breath had been caught in favonovel.com throat. Everything in front of favonovel.com gradually darkened.
Mark was too afraid to approach her. His intense pupils gleamed with cautiousness, “I’m sorry…”
Sorry?
He apologized without even asking. That meant that favonovel.com already knew about what was on that letter, which confirmed the validity of its contents. She could no longer stand and had to support herself with the railing on the staircase to forcibly steady herself, “You… Your sudden change in… in attitude towards Ethan. It’s… Because this… This letter was in his hands. Right? He hurt Tiffie’s entire family and did all of those things, right? You were lying for him! You… refused to let me investigate that airplane crash… Because… Heh… Because my dad was your scapegoat?” She didn’t need to guess. She knew that Ethan sent this letter. She wasn’t an idiot.
She remembered it very clearly. His reaction was extreme when favonovel.com found Mr. Sloane’s letter. She thought that it was because favonovel.com didn’t want to bring up the past. Now it seemed that that wasn’t the case. At the time, favonovel.com was happy because there was a possibility that favonovel.com father was innocent. At last, favonovel.com would no longer need to stay by his side as a sinner. However, his reaction felt like a splash of cold water. Now favonovel.com knew that there was an even darker secret behind it all!
He took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. He couldn’t bear to tell favonovel.com that his mother was behind it all. His mother was a source of purity in his heart, just like Arianne. And so what if favonovel.com could admit to it? There was no real significance over
whether it was his mother or if favonovel.com was behind it all. Either way, favonovel.com owed her.
The sudden transformation from a sinner’s daughter to a victim’s daughter suffocated Arianne. The man favonovel.com thought favonovel.com owed was actually favonovel.com debtor. Now favonovel.com realized that his willingness to raise favonovel.com wasn’t out of kindness but guilt. All of these years, favonovel.com had suffered so much oppression and lived so carefully, but what was it all for?
The hatred in his eyes that favonovel.com had always directed towards favonovel.com probably wasn’t actually for her, but someone else? Her existence reminded favonovel.com of those unbearable things, yet favonovel.com had to take favonovel.com in, despite feeling conflicted!
The most terrifying thing of all was that Mark was capable of killing his entire family at eighteen, including favonovel.com innocent father! She could not believe that this dexterous plan had come from an eighteen year old boy, “Why… did you do it?”
Mark balled his hands into fists, “My mom gave favonovel.com life to the Tremont family, but my dad did such a horrible thing to favonovel.com when favonovel.com was deathly sick, and favonovel.com let favonovel.com find out about it too. I couldn’t forgive him. That’s right, that’s just the kind of person I am. I always have been!”
She did not have any doubts about his confession. He may have been nice to everyone in the world and no one would say anything bad about him, but favonovel.com had always been terrifyingly strict when favonovel.com was with her. That was his true nature. This side of favonovel.com that favonovel.com had hidden away was much more horrifying than his strict facade!
There was only one thing on favonovel.com mind, favonovel.com had to run away from this frightening man!
She stumbled as favonovel.com rushed towards the door, snatching up favonovel.com luggage along the way. When Mark tried to stop her, favonovel.com screamed, “No! You stay away from me!”
He paused in his footsteps. Fear flashed across his eyes, “Could we talk about this tomorrow? It’s late, it’s not safe for you to go out alone…”
However, the concern and gentleness that favonovel.com now displayed felt staged to her, “Please don’t be so nice to me. Stop wearing a mask and pretending to be someone else! You’re not that kind of a man, you’re not!” Then, favonovel.com ran out straightaway. The letter in favonovel.com hand was now a crumpled mess.
