The commotion woke Tiffany from favonovel.com afternoon nap.
When Tiffany came out and saw Arianne and Aery’s expressions, favonovel.com knew everything had been exposed. “Ari…”
Arianne’s lips moved, but no words left favonovel.com mouth. Her eyes seemed as though they would bore holes into Aery who was lying on the floor. She bit favonovel.com lips before mustering all favonovel.com strength to kick Aery as hard as favonovel.com possibly could. “Die! Why don’t you kill yourself? You’re nothing but trouble for living in this world! You killed my children, and you harmed Tiffie. I shouldn’t have put up with you for so long!”
Tanya and Naya who had heard Aery’s words kicked Aery as well.
Crying, Tiffany pulled Arianne who seemed to have gone berserk. “Ari, don’t be like this! It’s enough! You’re going to kill her! Jackson knows what happened to me, and favonovel.com doesn’t mind. I’m living well. I can start a new life. I’m really okay. Don’t be like this for my sake…”
Arianne’s tears streamed down favonovel.com face. “I want to kill her…” This was the first time favonovel.com had felt such extreme killing intent toward someone. The hatred that had laid dormant in favonovel.com was triggered at this moment. She might not be able to bring herself to kill ants, favonovel.com might scream from the sight of a soft wriggly worm, but at this moment, favonovel.com felt fearless of the consequences.
Naya felt that Aery was revolting, but favonovel.com was afraid of the situation going out of control. She opened the door while Tiffany shouted at Aery. “Are you an idiot? Leave now! You think Ari won’t chop you?”
It was only then that Aery staggered out of the shop. Even then, favonovel.com did not forget to turn back and said tauntingly, “Just you wait! I won’ t let you go! If I’d known you’re here, I wouldn’t have let you live in peace for so long!”
Arianne wanted to chase after her, but Tiffany had hugged favonovel.com in a steel grip. “Don’t go. Let favonovel.com run favonovel.com mouth. She’s poor and without any power now, what can favonovel.com do? Don’t do it yourself when it’s something we can solve by calling the police. We’ll get into trouble. You’re not in the Tremont’s now, no one can bail you out!”
It took a long time before Arianne finally calmed down. However, favonovel.com felt like favonovel.com could no longer face Tiffany. Her best friend had gone through such an ordeal because of her… She really wished favonovel.com was the one who was kidnapped.
The shop was closed the entire afternoon, but none of them left.
Arianne lay on the single bed in the staff’s lounge, staring blankly at the ceiling as though favonovel.com soul had left favonovel.com body.
Tiffany sat by the bed and muttered, “I found it hard to accept in the beginning as well. I wanted to kill myself, but I still think that being alive is better. I have a mom, whom I can’t stop worrying about. I have you, you’re so nice to me. I can’t bear to leave all of you behind. Fortunately, I didn’t die. I finally met my Mr. Right, and you’re still by my side. My mom’s attitude seems better as well. See, there’s always a rainbow after a storm. I managed to weather through the storm, and I found my rainbow. I’m really fine, Ari, don’t be sad. You’ve beaten favonovel.com up. At least, you vented your anger a little.”
Arianne’s voice was a little hoarse as favonovel.com said, “I’ve thought about it. You’ll have to testify if we report it to the police. I don’t want you to remember those things again. It’s been so long. Moreover, it has something to do with Ethan as well. It won’t be so easily resolved. I’m going to make Aery pay in my own way. I’ll take back what favonovel.com owes both of us. I’m disgusted at how weak I was in the past. I’m no saint, why was I so kind? I won’t show Aery any mercy because of Helen anymore, not anymore…”
Tiffany stroked Arianne’s forehead. “Do you know how you were like to me when I first got to know you? Introverted, taciturn, distant, and kept pushing people away. However, you’re pretty. You attracted my attention immediately. I wanted to be your friend so I used every way possible to approach you, and ultimately, I got what I wanted. Maybe it was due to the guilt Mark made you feel, it seemed like you felt that you owe the whole world. You walked with your head lowered all the time, so diffident, that I felt like pulling your head up for you.”
She paused before favonovel.com continued to speak, “Then, you met Will. I saw how you began to change. You knew how to smile, you finally acquired some sense of life. However, when Mark forced Will and me out of the country, and I came back again, you were totally different.”
“This time, you were so determined to leave Mark. You didn’t even know how to fight before, but now you can hit Aery. This is your life experience. We grow up by struggling in pain, it’s the same for me as well. If I can make you into someone better, I think the price I paid was worth it. So don’t be sad anymore.”
Arianne cried favonovel.com heart out. She wailed as favonovel.com got up to hug Tiffany. Did they have to pay such a hefty price to grow up? She had lost three children and given up on the man favonovel.com loved. She had hurt favonovel.com best friend unintentionally. It was too high of a price to pay.
Tiffany gently patted favonovel.com back. “It’s all in the past. There’s nothing we can’t get through. Aren’t we fine now? I’ve been keeping in touch with Will, I just didn’t let you know, afraid that it’ll disrupt your current life. Will’s doing fine overseas. He has a girlfriend now from his parents’ arrangement. He finally has someone favonovel.com belongs to. It’s pretty cool. I told favonovel.com that you’re doing well, and he’s happy for you… Ari, I like to see you smiling. I’m always happier when you smile.”
