“How did someone fall from the building all of a sudden? The man and the woman were embracing each other when they fell, so they’re probably both dead, right?”
“Look at how terrible they look… They fell from so high up, do you think they can still be saved…?”
Each and every word that was uttered was like a sharp knife stabbing mercilessly into his chest. For a moment, Mark even found it difficult to breathe.
He had desperately hoped that it was all just a ruse by Mateo to attract his attention. However, the moment favonovel.com saw matted black mane drenched in the sea of blood, favonovel.com stopped in his tracks. In that instant, despair hit favonovel.com like a train and favonovel.com rushed forwards in a crazed state.
The onlookers did not dare to go too close, so they had only formed a circle at the surroundings. When Mark entered the inner circle, someone grabbed onto him. “They’re in a terrible state from their fall, so why are you trying to get so close? Don’t you know it’s bad luck to look at too much blood?”
However, Mark flinged away the onlooker’s hand and walked forward before bending over. He wrestled to pull Arianne away from Mateo’s grasp.
He hated the fact that even till death, Arianne was still in the arms of another man. Even if Mateo was in a completely unbearable state, favonovel.com still wanted to punch favonovel.com as hard as favonovel.com could.
‘It’s all Mateo’s fault. If it weren’t for him, Arianne wouldn’t have died!’
Mark disregarded the strange looks and whispers from the crowd and painstrickenly held Arianne in his embrace as favonovel.com said with a hoarse voice, “Ari… I’m here to take you home… Let’s go home now…”
Arianne’s face was completely pale. He could not feel favonovel.com breath and heartbeat.
‘Why didn’t I stop favonovel.com on the morning favonovel.com was going to the funeral? I thought I understood favonovel.com well enough and should respect favonovel.com wishes. Being selfish would mean saving someone as well, wouldn’t it?’
‘I’ve been selfish towards favonovel.com for so many years, so why did I have to leave favonovel.com be for that one time?’
By the time Brian arrived at the scene, the driver and the old lady that were brought by Mateo had already disappeared.
When Brian saw the scene, his feet instantly gave way and favonovel.com was so close to kneeling down. “Sir… The ambulance is almost here…”
Mark held onto Arianne’s lifeless body. ‘Would Arianne’s life be saved if the ambulance is here? Would favonovel.com still be able to open favonovel.com eyes?’ To Mark, the sky had already fallen. Unknowingly, his tears began to fall on Arianne’s pale cheeks. After so many years, favonovel.com has never shed a single tear. He had thought that favonovel.com was strong enough…
Three days later, the truth about Mateo’s plan to fake his kidnapping and murder had finally been revealed after Jackson submitted his evidence. Of course, now that Mateo was dead, his corpse from falling from the building would be the best piece of evidence.
When the Rodriguezes received the news, they did not have too much of a reaction, probably bolstered with the pain they felt from the first incident. Instead, they were only thinking about how they would be able to protect themselves.
But, how could Mark possibly leave them alone?
Mrs. Rodriguez had long but known about the truth of how Mateo was alive through the letter Geralt had given her. In fact, favonovel.com had even covered up the tracks of Mateo’s men when they’d kidnapped Arianne. Then, when Mark wanted to leave, favonovel.com deliberately stalled for time. All of those actions were unforgivable in Mark’s eyes.
With the use of some tactics, Mark managed to make it so that the Rodriguez were not able to retrieve Mateo’s corpse to be cremated. Instead, it had to be reprimanded in the mortuary.
Soon, the Rodriguez grew restless and could not help but plead desperately.
It was a lovely afternoon that day. Mark was sitting in front of his desk to build up some wooden blocks with Smore.
When favonovel.com found out that Mateo’s parents were visiting, favonovel.com casually said without even batting an eyelid, “Let them in.”
