Before Naya spoke, the woman smiled. “Arianne, I didn’t expect you to be working at a place like this. Mark darling doesn’t want you anymore? How delightful! Didn’t I tell you that you won’t have a happy ending.”
Arianne’s expression darkened, favonovel.com did not expect to see Aery here. “Aery, watch your words. I didn’t expect to see you here in this place either. You weren’t able to survive in the capital, were you? Eat if you want, scram if you’re not. I have no obligation to serve you.”
This was Naya’s first time seeing Arianne’s harsh side. She felt greatly satisfied since favonovel.com anger was vented. “This is our boss. We’re the employees.”
Aery did not think much of Arianne just because favonovel.com owned a dessert shop. “I heard the dessert shop here isn’t bad with desserts that taste like a master’s work. I was wondering who it is, but now I know it’s nothing but a gimmick after seeing the owner. Even if you’re not an employee, you’re only an owner of a dessert shop. What’s the big deal? I came here for a break, how am I anything like you? Arianne, quickly tell me, how did you get chased out of the Tremont’s? I can’t wait to hear about your tragic story…”
Arianne spoke coldly. “I’m the one who doesn’t want Mark, understand? Someone whom I don’t want doesn’t want you. Who’s more tragic?”
Aery turned pale from anger. “What did you say? Repeat yourself if you have the guts!”
Arianne repeated it word for word. “Listen again if you didn’t hear it the first time. The man I don’t want doesn’t want you!”
Tanya sent the coffee that favonovel.com had prepared at this time. “Coffee’s ready.”
Aery picked it up and hurled it at Arianne. “Bitch!”
Arianne side-stepped to avoid it and the coffee slammed against the wall behind her, making a huge splash.
Naya picked up the phone on the counter. “Let’s call the police.”
Aery grabbed the phone in Naya’s hand and threw it on the floor as well. “Who are you? Who gave you the right to speak?”
Arianne rolled up favonovel.com sleeves soundlessly and hinted at Tanya with favonovel.com eyes to close the shop’s door. She had put up with Aery for far too long. She had wanted to retaliate for a long time now, especially after learning that Aery had colluded with Ethan to kidnap Tiffany. She had not been able to get over that.
Tanya was able to discern that favonovel.com boss was going to beat this woman up. Naturally, favonovel.com would help. She quickly ran to close the door and turned the Sign to the side that said they were on a break.
Meanwhile, Naya prepared herself to step in should the need arise.
Aery was still throwing things in a frenzy, sweeping everything on the counter to the floor.
Arianne took a step forward and yanked Aery’s hair with one hand and slapped favonovel.com with the other. “Are you done?!”
Aery was momentarily stunned. “You… You hit me… How dare you hit me?”
Arianne arched an eyebrow and said, “Why can’t I hit you? No matter what, I’m still your elder sister. Since your parents aren’t here, I should discipline you on their behalf. Is it wrong for me to hit you? Kids who aren’t sensible should be taught a lesson. I’ve put up with you for a long time!”
When Aery regained favonovel.com senses, favonovel.com fought back, trying to yank Arianne’s hair like a crazy woman. Since Arianne usually tied favonovel.com hair up in the shop, favonovel.com attempt was in vain.
Arianne slapped favonovel.com a few more times, sending favonovel.com to the floor.
When favonovel.com saw Naya and Tanya, Aery knew favonovel.com was outnumbered and could only be beaten up. Cowering a little, favonovel.com said, “Arianne… aren’t… aren’t you scared that I’ll tell mom about this? You’re finally showing your true self when you pretended to act so frail in front of Mark! You’re disgusting!”
Arianne smirked. “I’m not acting. I’m not like you, I despise doing things like that. You can tell whoever you want about this. Do you think I care about what Helen thinks about me? You’re overthinking things. You provoke me time and time again, and I’ve been silent all this while. Is that why you think I’m a pushover? If you didn’t kidnap Tiffie, I wouldn’t be bothered with you. Since you sent yourself here today, let’s settle the accounts once and for all. You’re the one who started this fight, it’s not like you’ll be able to say anything even if you go to the police.”
Aery gritted favonovel.com teeth in anger. Her colored hair was in a mess and was stuck on favonovel.com face. Her bare thighs were scraped when favonovel.com fell on the floor. She looked wretched. “It was not my intention to kidnap Tiffany. My target was you. She was unlucky to be wearing your clothes while out. Otherwise, the one who’d be raped should’ve been you!”
There was a buzz in Arianne’s head.
Naya and Tanya were dumbfounded as well.
“You… What did you say? Repeat it!”
Aery held favonovel.com face that was burning from the slaps and spat viciously, “That’s right, I’ve been wanting to seek revenge from you! It’s the fault of those idiots I hired. They must have been blind to abduct the wrong person. If Ethan didn’t come so fast, she’d have died from the fun that day! What can you do about it, huh? Kill me if you can!”
The blood in Arianne seemed to have flowed in reverse. She did not expect Tiffany to experience something so harrowing and kept it from her. Was Tiffany worried that favonovel.com would feel guilty? She hated herself for letting Tiffany go out wearing favonovel.com clothes that day, favonovel.com hated herself for letting Tiffany go out to buy booze… Otherwise, something like that would not have happened…
