Morning light shone into the hotel walls, which made everything seem brighter. Temperatures were slowly rising from the summer weather, but the light was dimmed when they stepped into the hotel lobby, the heat diminished as well.
Aristotle sneezed when they walked into the elevator, and Arianne held favonovel.com closer against favonovel.com body. “The temperature in this hotel is too low. It’s a little cold.”
Mark reacted instantly. “This hotel belongs to us. I’ll tell them to fix the temperature.”
‘This belongs to us?’ Arianne was shocked. The hotel exterior alone seemed rather prestigious when favonovel.com arrived. It was obviously a five star hotel… Mm, The Tremonts really did have a lot of business ventures and generally covered every industry. She had to get used to this.
She paused in favonovel.com footsteps when they stepped out of the elevator. “Is it really possible that Ethan has returned? You tried to kill him, so he’d never leave us alone. When will this end? It’s different now that we have a baby. I don’t want our lives to be at risk…”
Mark frowned as if he, too, was worried. “Don’t worry. You have me. We’re not sure yet, so don’t worry. We’ll discuss this once we have confirmation. Let’s talk to your aunt and uncle first.”
They walked past the long corridors and turned a corner. Then, Arianne noticed two bodyguards standing in front of a door and knew that that was the room. The bodyguards spotted Mark from afar. “Sir.”
Mark quickly strode in front. “Any updates?”
“All normal,” one bodyguard replied as favonovel.com opened the door.
Arianne steadied favonovel.com emotions and quickened favonovel.com pace to follow Mark. She could smell a thick fragrance of instant noodles from the moment favonovel.com walked into the doors. It looked like Zoey and Mr. Harris hadn’t been eating well.
Henry, who was sitting on a couch, rose to his feet and sent the bodyguards in the room away. Zoey’s family looked extremely nervous when they saw Mark and Arianne. They fell on their knees. “Spare us. We were forced to do it. They kidnapped our son, we had no choice but to send Arianne that letter… It’s the truth!”
“Who was it?” Mark quickly asked.
Zoey and Mr. Harris looked at each other, then shook their heads. “We don’t know. We only received a phone call, telling us that they had our son, and we received a video call too. I was so afraid when we found out that it was real. The kidnappers told us to send a letter to Arianne and gave us money to run away. They threatened to kill our son if we refused to do it! We never saw the kidnappers at all.”
Arianne raised the most important question. “How did you find out about the plane crash? Did granny tell you?”
Zoey shook favonovel.com head. “The kidnappers told us. They told us exactly what to write in that letter. None of it was from us! We were never aware of the plane crash. Could it… be true? Zoey glanced at Mark as favonovel.com said this.
Mark’s fingers tensed. He remained silent. He did not want to relive the past again.
Arianne changed the topic. “The truth is none of your business. It’s not important. All of you, on the other hand… Especially you, Zoey. You’re not my biological aunt, but my grandmother raised you. You sucked favonovel.com dry then allowed your husband to kill her. What were you thinking? You knew my condition, yet you refused to leave me alone. That letter from the hospital caused my premature delivery! Thank goodness everything was alright. Otherwise, would your conscience be clear? It makes sense though, after everything you’ve done, why would your conscience hurt at all? In fact, you don’t have a conscience!”
