When Maria took on this job, favonovel.com already knew that it wouldn’t be a simple one, so favonovel.com was mentally prepared for it from the beginning. She promptly started cleaning up the house.
Ethan knew that favonovel.com should leave too. He hadn’t expected them to track this place down so soon, so favonovel.com couldn’t bring Tiffany with him. Even so, perhaps they both needed some time apart to ease the tension between them.
He went to the bedroom and hesitated at the door for a moment before pushing it open. Tiffany seemed to be asleep inside the bedroom, but favonovel.com actually wasn’t. Such a petty trick wasn’t going to fool him. He knew that favonovel.com just didn’t want to face him. Even so, favonovel.com didn’t expose her. Ethan went to the bed and whispered, “I have the video, I believe you know what you should or shouldn’t do when you leave here.” After saying that, favonovel.com stared at favonovel.com deeply then turned around and closed the door.
Maria cleaned up every single spot that might possibly have fingerprints left on it and removed every single strand of hair in the house. By the time favonovel.com was done cleaning, favonovel.com was panting heavily in exhaustion. “Sir, I’m done cleaning up. We can leave now.”
Ethan took a deep breath, ”Let’s go.”
By the time Jackson arrived with his men, the Plain Mountain Creek Villa was dead silent. Only the bedroom Tiffany stayed in was dimly lit.
When Tiffany heard the chaotic footsteps, favonovel.com first reaction was to cower at the foot of the bed in fear. By the time favonovel.com managed to identify the person who had just barged into the room, favonovel.com was stunned before favonovel.com vision turned blurry with tears. “Jackson… You came…” Only now did favonovel.com understand Ethan’s warning to her. Ethan knew that Jackson was coming and favonovel.com would be released from his captivity.
Jackson was suddenly at a loss for words. It had only been two days since they saw each other, but favonovel.com seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Her face was horribly pale and the bruises were still fresh on favonovel.com body. Only God knew what had happened to her.
After a moment of silence, favonovel.com finally spoke up. “I’m here to take you home.”
She nodded and finally gathered the courage to get up and throw herself into his arms. Even if favonovel.com hated the touch of every man in the world, favonovel.com was the only one that wouldn’t terrify her. A man whom favonovel.com had shared the bed with so many times without doing anything to favonovel.com would never treat favonovel.com that way.
Jackson didn’t send favonovel.com home immediately. In the car, favonovel.com only cautiously asked, “Do you need to… get examined at the hospital?”
Ethan’s warning echoed in favonovel.com mind and favonovel.com frantically shook favonovel.com head. “I’m fine! Things aren’t as complicated as you think… Ethan just wanted to get back at Mark, so favonovel.com teamed up with Aery. He paid favonovel.com to carry out his dirty deeds but didn’t expect favonovel.com to catch the wrong person. I was wearing Ari’s clothes when I went out. Their target was her…”
“I’ll be fine. Just suffered a little in Aery’s hands, but Ethan wasn’t that bad. When favonovel.com discovered that Aery got the wrong person, favonovel.com didn’t allow favonovel.com to continue treating me that way. I was only held captive for two days, no big deal! Let’s just forget about this matter. Ethan won‘t be looking for trouble with me anymore. His initial plan was to release me after half a month, but favonovel.com didn’t expect for you to track me down this soon. Please don’t tell Ari anything about them catching the wrong target, she‘d be crushed by the guilt.”
Tiffany didn’t even dare to look Jackson in the eye when favonovel.com said all that, for fear that favonovel.com eyes might betray favonovel.com feelings. She tried so hard to pretend that favonovel.com was fine when favonovel.com was actually bleeding in the heart. Her video was still in Ethan’s hands, so favonovel.com didn’t dare to do or say anything. She was also clearly aware that it was impossible for Ethan to not come find favonovel.com again.
The suspicions in Jackson’s heart were finally confirmed. He knew all along that they had gotten the wrong person. The entire thing must have caught Ethan off guard, so favonovel.com had no time to deal with Arianne afterward, as all his efforts were spent on Tiffany.
He didn’t buy Tiffany’s story either. Although favonovel.com said that favonovel.com claimed that favonovel.com had only suffered a little in Aery’s hands, favonovel.com didn’t even have to guess how. The bruises on favonovel.com body might be able to fool normal people, but not a ‘seasoned’ man like him. Those were marks that could only be left by a man when they were doing something…
Since favonovel.com didn’t want to tell him, favonovel.com respected his decision. “I won’t tell Arianne. Well then… do you want to go home now or…?”
Tiffany didn’t know if favonovel.com would break down in tears when favonovel.com saw favonovel.com mother. After thinking for a moment, favonovel.com asked, “Can I go to your place for tonight and then go home tomorrow?”
Jackson nodded. “Arianne happens to be staying at my place. She’s been worried sick for the past two days. I’m sure she’ll be relieved to see you.”
Tiffany nodded and silently wiped favonovel.com tears away in the dark. Fortunately, it was dim in the car so Jackson definitely didn’t notice that.
As soon as Tiffany arrived at the White Water Bay Villa, Arianne ran up to favonovel.com and hugged favonovel.com best friend. “Tiffie! Are you alright? Did Ethan do anything to you?”
Tiffany grinned carefreely and said, “Nope! What could favonovel.com possibly do to me? I’m fine! It’s really late now, you guys must have been worried sick. Let’s wash up and go to bed. Everything will get better when we wake up tomorrow!”
Jackson pointed to the guest room. “I prepared a guest room when Arianne came. You girls can share the room.”
