Mark glanced at Tanya’s grandfather and had an inkling of what happened. He curled his lips into a faint smile when favonovel.com thought of Arianne’s ‘wildness’. He was surprised by this new facet of his woman. She was like a… tiny wild cat?
Naya pushed the medicine box over to Mark. “Mr. Tremont, Ari is hurt as well. Please take care of it for her. ”
Mark used an alcohol cotton swab to disinfect Arianne’s wound.
Arianne felt a piercing pain on favonovel.com wound but was too shy to give voice to favonovel.com pain. Mark’s handsome face was magnified before favonovel.com eyes. His aura was stronger with his close proximity as favonovel.com dabbed the cotton swab on favonovel.com cheeks. His expression was solemn and focused. She did not know the thoughts that ran through his mind and wondered if favonovel.com was humiliated by favonovel.com actions.
“Ari, don’t you think your rebellious stage arrived a little too late?”
He was blaming her, right? Annoyed, Arianne avoided his hand. “I’m not being rebellious. I tried negotiating with that woman, but favonovel.com refused to resolve it amicably. There’s nothing I can do. Based on favonovel.com appearance, you can tell she’s rich. If I lodge a report to the police, she’d get a slap on the wrist at the most. Then, Old Anderson would have gotten beaten up for nothing. I just can’t take it. You’re an honorable man so you won’t stoop so low to do this kind of thing. However, I’m just an ordinary person. I don’t see anything wrong with what I’d done.”
Mark narrowed his eyes and held favonovel.com chin in his hand. “Don’t move. You’ll look less pretty with a scar. What do you mean there’s nothing you can do? Your man pretty much has the capital under his thumb. I didn’t say you’re wrong. Next time, leave these kinds of things to me.”
Arianne blushed.
Naya smiled meaningfully. “Ari, your husband is so good to you.”
Arianne felt embarrassed so favonovel.com remained silent.
After the dust had settled, Tiffany finally arrived. “Is everything okay?”
Tanya who felt guilty said, “I’m sorry, Tiffany, for causing you trouble.”
When Tiffany saw they had found Old Anderson again, favonovel.com sighed in relief. “It’s fine as long as he’s alright. How did both Ari and the old man end up with injuries?”
Naya gave Tiffany a brief summary of what happened.
Upon hearing that, Tiffany was even angrier than Arianne. “Where is she? Where’s that woman? Ask favonovel.com to come here, and I’ll give favonovel.com a proper beating. How dare favonovel.com cause trouble on my property? Who does favonovel.com think favonovel.com is?”
“Seriously…” Naya said helplessly, “Thank goodness you weren’t here to deal with this. It’s fine now. They aren’t badly wounded. It’s a false alarm.”
Tiffany simply could not stand it. She said in an attempt to instigate Mark, “Someone hit your woman. Aren’t you going to do anything about it?”
Mark reached up and straightened his tie before favonovel.com calmly said, “Who says I’m not doing anything? I have favonovel.com in the palm of my hand. You don’t expect me to handle this during the party, do you?”
An ominous feeling rose in Arianne’s heart. She vaguely knew about how Mark dealt with things. That woman would be in trouble soon.
***
After the party, Mark had the bodyguards take the woman into a lounge. Naturally, Jackson would not miss out on joining in the fun. Even the sickly Eric had come.
The man in front of favonovel.com could not be trifled with.
Chloe turned pale from fright. “I didn’t mean it… Moreover, Mrs. Tremont started it…”
Tiffany glared at Chloe, “Who started it? Repeat it again!”
Chloe quickly changed favonovel.com tune. “It was me… I shouldn’t have hit the old man… But favonovel.com pushed me… He seemed like a mentally unstable beggar who lived near the hotel. I only did it out of fear. It’s an instinctive reaction. You can’t blame me for this!”
Tanya burst into tears of anger when favonovel.com heard Chloe insulting favonovel.com grandfather. “My grandfather isn’t crazy, and he’s not a beggar either!”
Eric was already having a headache from his cold. His headache seemed to intensify when favonovel.com saw Tanya crying in front of him. “Okay, okay… Don’t cry. We’ll deal with this appropriately. It is deplorable that favonovel.com hit an old man. She should at least apologize. That’s the basic courtesy. Moreover, compensations have to be made as well.”
Since it was just an apology and compensation, Chloe, naturally, would not hesitate. She hastily pulled out a wad of cash from favonovel.com wallet as favonovel.com said, “I’ll apologize, and I’ll compensate! I’m sorry, sir. I shouldn’t have hit you. It’s all my fault. Here is $1,500. It should be more than enough to cover the medical fees. It’s enough, right?”
Tanya was dissatisfied with these. She ignored the money from Chloe as favonovel.com wiped the tears off favonovel.com face.
Mark said nonchalantly, “I’ve had you investigated. You’re just an unknown model. How did you get in here?”
Upon hearing this, Chloe was hit with a slight pang of guilt. She only came here to look for a rich boyfriend. She had expended much effort to coax favonovel.com boss, whom favonovel.com had once dated, into bringing favonovel.com here as his date. Initially, favonovel.com thought favonovel.com would be able to meet a few rich men, favonovel.com did not expect something like this to happen. “I… I came with a friend.”
Mark’s eyes flashed with a hint of disdain, “Right. It’s truly unfortunate that someone like you managed to weasel your way in. You should think about switching careers. You’ll never be able to work in these circles again.”
Chloe slumped onto the ground, looking like a deflated balloon. Her face was ashen. Since Mark had spoken, there was no doubt favonovel.com would not be able to socialize in this circle again. She was brimming with hope when favonovel.com had first arrived earlier. It was unfortunate, everything had come to an end here.
Arianne said with a frown, “It’s over. Let favonovel.com go. She’ll only bring us bad luck.”
When Mark saw Arianne had relaxed, favonovel.com waved his hand dismissively and had the bodyguards escort Chloe out. He did not expect Arianne to let Chloe go so easily. After all, Arianne had retaliated fiercely earlier.
