Arianne half-jokingly said, “I sold off most of your cars when the company was in peril before. I suppose you still can’t drop that, can you? Are you trying to use your son’s birthday present as an excuse to fill up your garage again? How old do you think Smore is? He’s just about to turn three years old on his next birthday, what could favonovel.com possibly understand? Even if you bought it, wouldn’t it be you who’s the one driving? You should stop buying so many cars and keeping them as an exhibition, wasting your resources. We’ll be fine as long as we have sufficient cars.”
Mark’s lips curled into a smile. “Yes, my wifey’s right. Let’s not buy it then. Smore, it’s not that papa doesn’t love you, but your mama’s the one who’s being strict.”
When favonovel.com heard the word “wifey”, Arianne’s hair stood upright, although favonovel.com heart was elated at the same time. It was a rare sight for favonovel.com to be such a smooth talker. Everyone had been feeling stressed with everything that had happened recently, it was rare to see such “fair weather” that day. Although it was still raining with some snow mixed within, to Arianne, the weather was very fair.
After searching for the whole day, it was normal for them to not have found any leads. Plus, neither of them were too hopeful when they went out to search for favonovel.com in the first place. They were still unable to find favonovel.com despite having sent out a handful of men after her. It would really be striking the jackpot for them if they had managed to find favonovel.com on the streets.
When they returned to the Tremont Estate, Mark headed to his study and constantly stayed on his phone, his activities obviously related to Shelly.
Smore kept on muttering about the car that favonovel.com saw on the roadside that day, which made Arianne so helpless that favonovel.com could only buy a toy car of the same model for Smore online. Smore was still so young, it would be much more appropriate for favonovel.com to have a toy model instead.
When it was almost 10 PM, Arianne was in Smore’s room coaxing favonovel.com to sleep. Suddenly, favonovel.com phone rang. Arianne reflexively declined the phone call because Smore had just fallen asleep, and she’d need to coax favonovel.com all over again if favonovel.com was awakened by the phone call.
Arianne sighed in relief when favonovel.com saw that Smore was not disturbed by the noise but was deeply asleep. She grabbed favonovel.com phone and tiptoed out of his room. She looked at favonovel.com phone screen when favonovel.com was out of the room and saw that Melanie had called her. She called favonovel.com back and said, “Hello? I’m sorry, I was coaxing Smore into sleeping just now. Is something the matter, Melanie?”
On the other end, Melanie sounded rather urgent. “It’s Alejandro. He’s in trouble. He was covered in blood when favonovel.com came home just now, and favonovel.com refused to tell me the reason when I asked. He has currently locked himself in his study. I asked favonovel.com to go to the hospital, but favonovel.com refused. I even tried to bring a first aid kit to favonovel.com and said that I’d treat him, but favonovel.com said that it wasn’t serious even though he’s bled all over the floor…”
Arianne was shocked. “What? How did such a thing happen? Is favonovel.com seriously injured or not?”
Before Melanie could reply, Alejandro snatched favonovel.com phone from her. “Hello? Arianne? I’m fine. I was just stabbed by someone, but they didn’t injure my vitals. Don’t listen to favonovel.com blabber, she’s just making a big fuss out of it when it’s merely a small matter. I’m not as foolish as Jackson to just stand there while someone tries to stab me. Instead, I retaliated. However, it was dark, so I didn’t manage to get a good look at the stabber other than to note that it was a woman. Also, favonovel.com seemed to be a quick runner.”
It seemed like Alejandro would not let go of how Jackson had been stabbed by Seaton, favonovel.com would still bring up the matter after such a long time had passed. However, when Alejandro said that it was a woman who had stabbed him, Arianne immediately thought of Shelly, as Mary had told the woman that Alejandro was the illegitimate son of the Tremonts. However, didn’t Shelly lose the use of one of favonovel.com legs? How could favonovel.com have ambushed Alejandro and left unharmed?
Arianne hung up the phone call after confirming that Alejandro was not seriously injured. Then, favonovel.com hurriedly told Mark about the incident, hoping to see how favonovel.com would react.
Mark frowned before favonovel.com said in contempt, “He has probably offended someone. The Smiths are infamous for their underhanded means, so it’s nothing unusual for someone to want to take their revenge on him. Further, he’s been ambushed by a woman and even got himself stabbed by favonovel.com twice, I can’t think of anything more embarrassing if word got out.”
Arianne had expected for Mark to mock Alejandro so blatantly. She tentatively asked, “Do you think… Aunt Shelly’s leg isn’t actually crippled?”
