Chapter 1057 Apologies

Author: Lemon Flavored Cat
Janice instantly choked. She had initially thought that Mark would show her some pity and have some sympathy for her. Now, however, she felt as if her bloodied face was both unbearable and a joke.

Seeing her remain in the same spot, unmoving, Mark continued. “Didn’t you say that you can’t stand being in this company any longer? I won’t force you then. If you want to leave, you may do so after settling this matter.”

Janice did not expect this outcome. “I just lost myself in my anger for a moment. I was being rash,” she hurriedly said. “This is a great company. I don’t really want to go… I’ll take care of it. Please excuse me.”

Mark waved his hand. “Mm. Go. This company isn’t like any other place where you can come and go whenever you please. Please handle matters with more maturity next time.”

Janice returned to her desk, ashen-faced. Someone brought a medicine box to help her with her wounds. Having received no rejections from Mark since the very beginning, she had thought that she

    Janice felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water. She went into a mild daze, slightly enraged. “What do you mean? My internship is almost over. I’ve been performing very well in my job. Why are you extending it? There has to be a reason, right?”The director calmly replied, “Yes, you’re right. You’ve done very well in all aspects of your job, far more outstanding than the batch of interns from this round, but your attitude is horrendous. You’ve already come to blows with your superior before the end of your internship, ending up battered and bloody. As your superior, allow me to give you a piece of advice. The working world isn’t as easy as it seems. Don’t get too cocky, or you’ll get into trouble. Try to tolerate small issues. There is no need to tolerate big issues; the higher-ups in this company aren’t blind. Aren’t you aware of these things? I heard that you’ve gotten close to Mr. Tremont, so I called him, afraid that you might not be satisfied with my decision. H

    “Sir, it was on the way anyway. Why didn’t you drop her off? You embarrassed such a young girl,” Mary teased in the car.“She brought it onto herself,” Mark replied indifferently. “No one is allowed to flaunt special treatment in front of me. She’s old enough to know how to avoid awkward situations and how to avoid embarrassment. I am her boss, not her father. It is not my obligation to shelter her from rain.”Then, his attitude changed as he said, “Brian, stop by Ari’s office. It’s raining and she has probably forgotten to bring an umbrella. Pick her up and we’ll go home together.”Brian grunted in reply and steered the car into a different direction. Mary kept quiet, but she was actually elated. There was nothing concerning about a man being hit on by a bevy of girls outside his home. The most important thing of all was that he had the ability to remain in control. Mark wasn’t gallant enough, but he was certainly loyal to Arianne.Mark gave Arianne a call when he arrived at her o

    Mark did not give an honest answer. “We usually wash it pretty often. Forget it. I’m going upstairs to shower.”Mary watched him quickly walk away before ratting on him to Arianne. “A young girl from the company sat in the front seat just as we left the office. It was raining and the entire seat got wet. Brian wiped it clean, but Mr. Tremont still found it unbearable. He has always been this way from a young age. He can never stand anything greasy, sticky, or damp. She got into the car and asked him to drop her off along the way. In the end, he chased out of the car and went off to pick you up. That’s what’s great about Mr. Tremont. He’s not a flirt.”The corners of Arianne’s lips lifted spontaneously. “Not bad… He’s really not much of a flirt. This girl—is her name Janice Bell? I know of her.”Mary nodded. “I think so. I saw that name on her staff card. She fought with her supervisor today too and ended up bleeding in the head. She ran to Mr. Tremont’s office to file a complaint, b

    It was about an hour later when Smore finally fell asleep. Arianne returned to the bedroom to a scowling, silently-sulky Mark sitting on their bed, radiating a kind of aura only found in bitter housewives.She chuckled. “What?”“You,” he grumbled. “You work during the day, and when you come home, you focus only on that little fella over there. Then finally, you go to sleep! What, am I just an appendage?”Arianne climbed into the bed and underneath the sheet. She let out a satisfied, relaxed sigh before replying, “Well, are you saying I shouldn’t go to work, then? You agreed to this, though; no backsies. Besides, I think life is pretty good to us. I sleep with you every night rather than with Smore, you know, so honestly, I spend more time with you than with him. Now, you can’t possibly turn green over the attention I give to a child, can you? He’s your son.”He laid down next to her and pulled her into his embrace. “Oh, you’re sleeping with me, alright. You go straight to sleep aft

    Jackson pressed the bell for a good long while but no one answered the door. He began to suspect that Tanya was avoiding the door, despite being at home, simply because she noticed it was him.He had just begun to brainstorm a workaround when Tanya’s voice suddenly rang from behind him. “What are you doing here?”Jackson turned. His sight landed on the food produce in her carrying bags and realized she had only gone to the market. “Got something to ask of you.”Tanya lowered her head a little, slightly nervous. “Um, o-okay… Let me open the door, and we can talk after we get in.”The first thing that Jackson did after stepping into the unit was to look around and say, “I thought you’d married that Jett guy. So, why is he still letting you stay in an apartment unit you rented?”Tanya had nothing to answer him. She didn’t know if Jett owned a house of his own or how much money he had in his bank account. All she knew about her supposed husband was that he, at the very least, owned a

    Tanya clenched her jaw for a second, as though mustering her last ounce of courage before making an important decision. “I know very little of anything. All I know is that Alejandro pretends to be disabled and that he mentioned spending three years falling in love with Tiffany. All that he does is always for the same goal—he wants to break apart you and Tiffany. That’s it, that’s all I know. I’ve told you everything I know, so please keep this a secret from Tiffany. Please, because if she knows a single thing about this, I’ll be dead!”Three years?A name sprung into Jackson’s mind immediately: Ethan Connors.Ethan was the one person Tiffany had loved for three years. He was also the man who made Jackson jealous.Suddenly, it felt as though a hedge of brambles had grown all over his heart, stinging and prickling him with unease. If Alejandro was Ethan in disguise, then everything that had occurred finally made perfect sense.How ironic it was that while Tiffany had loved Ethan for

    Jackson nodded and pulled her back to their table, beckoning her to finish her meal while he swept his troubles under his mental rug.He regretted mentioning Ethan’s name and frightening Tiffany like that. To be fair, he had not at all expected her to take it so badly—and now he wished he could tell her with absolute conviction that Ethan died in South Africa. But things always refused to go as smoothly as one hoped.The weekend came. Jackson sent Tiffany away to Lilian’s place for the day and promised to come back for her at night. Then, he went straight to the Tremont Estate.He recounted everything he knew up to this point to Mark, who, for his part, took some time to comb through the information before saying, “It’s not that hard to find out whether Alejandro Smith is or isn’t Ethan Connors—we just need to do a DNA analysis. He’s currently staying in a hospital, right? That makes it easier to get a hold of his blood sample.”“What if he is, without a doubt, Ethan?” Jackson demu

    The Chief Nurse was just as helpless. “What can we do? Does anyone from the Smith family look like someone we can go up against? Urgh, just extract another blood sample from that patient.”Jett caught up with the nurse and bumped into her before swapping the blood sample in her pocket with the one he had swiped earlier. “Excuse me.”The nurse rummaged through her pocket out of habit before drawing out a sigh of relief at finding the sample intact.Jett stood still at his spot and waited until the nurse was farther away. He only resumed following her after she turned into another corner.He watched the nurse pass the sample to Jackson and quickly hurried back to Alajendro’s ward. “Mr. Smith, Jackson sent that nurse, who gave him the blood sample. I’ve switched out your blood with another sample before she could get it to him without the nurse noticing.”Alejandro’s mien turned icy, muttering, “Suspecting me already, huh? That’s sooner than I thought. What went wrong? They shouldn

    Arianne had not heard that name for so long, she had to reel back in bemusement for a few seconds before finally remembering her face.Shelly-Ann Leigh… She must have spent all those years in the mental institution, right? God knows if the woman’s hair was now grey and white all over.When someone was near death, one could stand to forgive all of the history between them—even the dark ones, even if the ledger was brimming—for good. So, Arianne replied, “I’ll go with you. No matter what happened, she’s still your mother.”Mark did not expect that answer from her at all. In his surprise, he bent down and left a kiss on her lips. “I knew I picked the right woman as my wife. I thought you wouldn’t agree to let me accompany her for the last of her days…”Arianne replied nothing. She was not so obtuse that she would try to win over a woman whose days were numbered. No matter how much of an a**hole Shelly was, Arianne was still the one who came out on top. That victory was all she needed.

    Arianne sneered. “You confused, little thing. I wouldn’t be daft enough to anger the mother of the man I like if I were you, girl. I would especially not say anything as low IQ as that, too. Let me be completely frank with you: no one who bears the surname of Leigh will ever get the better of me—the last one failed. Hard. I can guarantee that you’ll leave us in the span of three days. If I lose, you can stay here forever. Wanna bet? I dare you.”She left her threat hanging at that and turned her wheelchair away, leaving the scorned young woman behind.Rage came out of Raven as waves of quakes all over her body. She was lurching close to hyperventilation, but right before it became impossible to stop, she came around and battled herself to calm down. She had a feeling that even if she fainted right there and then, no one would discover her, would they?Now that Arianne and Mark had returned, the Tremont Estate had recovered its vivacity and life. It had become merry.And Raven Leigh

    Melissa was the type who always pushed things to go as festive as logically possible. She leaped to her feet and raised her cup, “Yo, everyone! Let’s toast to Cindy becoming my cousin-in-law!”The crowd answered enthusiastically with their cups in the air and a roar—except Raven, who remained seated. “I have a sickly constitution. I can’t drink. I’m sorry.”Her smile was so mechanical, her face too ashen. Something flickered in Arianne’s eyes before she replied, “Sure.”After the revelry faded, Arianne steered her wheelchair to the courtyard. The outward appearance of the Tremont Estate seemed to have frozen in time, which was why being here made her feel so… safe.Of course, that was despite Henry and Mary’s passing. In the end, time passed and things changed, characters and objects came and went, and all these missing years left lingering regrets in their wake.Arianne espied the silhouette standing alone at a distance and approached her, sighing, “Nothing beats being home.”Ra

    Arianne grabbed the two beauties by the hands and smiled. “Thank you! Gosh, to me… it’s like you two have grown older in the blink of an eye! How gorgeous the two of you are! Cindy, where’s your brother? Plato hasn’t come home yet?”Mentioning the name of her dear brother made Cynthia pout. “He said he was coming home half a month ago—that’s what he said. Who knows what he’s actually doing, though? Anyway, who cares about that no-good. He’s always like this anyway. Oh, um, the weather is quite hot. We should probably get inside.”Arianne nodded and shot a brief, uneasy look at Aristotle. Not once did he look like he wanted to talk to her… Could the boy be counting his grievances in his mind? Mark and Arianne had stayed in Switzerland for so long; life must have been hard for him all alone.It took until she reached the living room to finally notice Raven. “Millie, is this your younger sister?”Melissa quickly sprung to correct her. “What? Noooo. This is Ares’ classmate or something

    Aristotle’s entire being stilled.He had waited for this news for nineteen years. As time passed, the flames died little by little, the heart grew more numb, until the very thought of it was no different from a pipe dream. But today, news of it coming true reached him and plunged him into a torrent of feelings.A long while later, he finally muttered under his breath, “When… When will they be back?”Jackson closed the distance between them and gave the young man a light, comforting pat on the shoulders. “Not so soon, I bet; not when your mother has just woken up and is in need of some time to recover. She did sleep for nineteen years, you know. So maybe after she’s recuperated enough for a while…” he answered. “We’ve waited for nineteen years for this, right? What’s waiting for just a little bit more compared to that? The most important thing for you to do is to manage the company to the best of your abilities. That’s the way to not disappoint your father’s expectation.”Aristotle

    Cynthia had never had a relationship before, so she did not know what love was. However, one thing was for certain. She loved the feeling of being with Aristotle and how he had protected her since they were kids. Even though Aristotle had become a little domineering and “naughty”, she was not taken aback by him. Instead, she even felt a little moved, which was amazing.It wasn’t known how they ended up in bed, with their breaths synchronized. Apart from the final step, they had done just about everything else that could be done.Just as they were about to hit the final step, Aristotle suddenly stopped and helped pull the covers over Cynthia. “Let’s sleep, good night.”Cynthia was still lost in a daze from before. She did not know why Aristotle had suddenly stopped, nor did she have the courage to ask him. She had struggled for so long before having persuaded herself to go with the flow…The next day, when Cynthia woke up, Aristotle had already long gone to his company.She took a

    Cynthia heard what Aristotle said, but her hands did not stop doing what they were doing. Her head was in a complete mess. “There’s no… no need. I’ll be able to be done with these now. Go ahead and get some sleep first. By the way, where am I sleeping tonight? There are so many rooms here, I’ll ask Agnes to help me clear one up.”Aristotle walked up to her and squatted. He grabbed onto her arm with one hand while the other closed the luggage. “Just sleep with me here and stop tidying already.”Cynthia suspected that she might have misheard. She took a look at the big bed behind him in a daze and suddenly felt her palm, which was held by him, burning up. “Y… You’re kidding, aren’t you, Ares? Although we used to sleep with each other a lot when we were kids, we’re all grown ups now, so wouldn’t that be a little inappropriate?”Aristotle said with a straight face, “I wasn't joking.”Cynthia panicked a little and recalled Melissa’s words once again. ‘Would Ares, whom I’ve known for so

    Melissa knew that Aristotle had kissed Cynthia, so she knew what was going on. Hence, she very naturally boasted, “Of course, they’ve been engaged to each other since they were born. Coincidentally, the both of them felt the same way about each other as they grew up, so wouldn’t this make it even better? From the way I see it, your illness isn’t going to recover for the rest of your life and the both of them are probably going to have to wait until Cindy graduates before they get married. So, you’d be better off moving back to France as early as possible. Don’t worry, you’ve saved Aristotle’s life before, so he wouldn’t be stingy with you financially.”Raven wanted to control the unhappiness she had in her heart very much, but her emotions refused to follow her will. Hence, she fiercely struggled to wring free from Melissa’s grasp. Melissa was startled for a moment. “Are you crazy?”After that, Raven regained her senses and took a deep breath. “I’m sorry… I was a little unwell just n

    ‘You’re not that worried?’ Melissa was so furious that she laughed. “Am I the only one who’s being worried for nothing? I thought you loved my brother, didn’t you? The man you’ve been dreaming of every day has returned from France but brought a woman with him, yet you’re actually not that worried? Let’s put aside your parents’ intentions for a moment. Do you dare to say that you don’t love him? I’m only helping you because you’re my best friend, so could you not be so relaxed, as if I’m helping you for no reason?”Cynthia shook her head and lowered her volume as she said, “He… might have confessed to me. We also… did that already. So, I think he doesn’t feel that way towards Raven. It’s purely because she saved his life once. I trust that Ares will be able to handle the situation properly.”Melissa’s eyes opened wide. “What? He’s only returned for a few days, yet the two of you have already had sex? That fast?! I never knew it, but you’ve really got it in you!”Cynthia’s face flushe
