Obviously, Mark had had his men keep an eye on this airport as well. However, since it was a smaller sized airport, there were not many men placed there.Before they got out of the car, Mateo put on a pair of sunglasses and a face mask. Of course, he had prepared a set for Arianne as well.Expectedly, Arianned refused to wear it and get out of the car. However, Mateo had already thought about it beforehand and handed over the syringe and drug to the old lady in the front passenger’s seat. “I’m getting off first, bring her with you later. Be careful.”After Mateo got out of the car and entered the airport, the driver took up the syringe after filling it up with the drug, ready to inject it into Arianne. Obviously, she struggled with all her might. “Don’t touch me!”The old lady moved to the back seat and forcefully held Arianne down. “Ms. Wynn, stop struggling. Otherwise, you’re the one who’s going to suffer if I have to stick this needle in you. The drug is only going to put you to
As they rushed to the airport, Mark continuously urged Brian to drive faster. ‘I’m so close to finding Arianne, so close to bringing her back to my side…’However, despite everything, luck was not on Mark’s side. Halfway there, the roads were so packed in traffic that there was nothing that could be done unless they could fly.Brian was feeling extremely impatient. “Sir, there seems to have been an accident in front, causing this traffic jam. I don’t believe we will be able to move forwards any time soon, nor can we reverse since there are so many cars behind us. What should we do now?”Mark was so furious that the color on his face changed. He got out of his car to check on the situation of the traffic jam. ‘We definitely won’t be able to move for at least another 20 minutes. I can’t just stay here and wait!‘If Mateo is at the airport, this means that Arianne is definitely there as well. The woman that I constantly dream of is right in front of me, so what reason do I have to not
Mateo wanted to personally check on her himself, but he was also worried that the repair work in the airport would be completed and he needed to continue with his flight registration. He frowned and said, “Be quick about it and don’t mess it up. She’s much smarter than you think she is. If she escapes, it’s going to be your head!”The driver nodded his head and bowed as he reassured Mateo continuously. Then, he rushed off to the washroom. However, before he had even arrived there, the old lady suddenly ran out alone. “We’ve got a problem! She’s gone!”The driver suddenly felt a “Buzz” in his head. “What did you say?! She can’t possibly have been able to stand properly, so how did she manage to disappear?! Have you tried looking for her?!”The old lady looked to her surroundings. “I've been guarding her the entire time, but it was getting suffocating in the washroom. Seeing that she was still vomiting, I came out to get some fresh air. But the moment I went back inside, she was gone.
However, Arianne did not return to the first floor. Her brains were not capable of thinking about that anymore. Hence, when the elevator arrived at the top floor, Arianne exited and realized that there were still stairs that could go up higher, which was inaccessible through the elevator. Hence, she went ahead to the stairs.There was only one more floor left through the stairs, heading directly to the rooftop of the hotel. It was not a high class hotel, so the rooftop only had some plants and flowers on it, making it not too much of a sight to see.‘I’ve got nowhere to run to. What should I do now…’Arianne walked to the guardrail and took a glance. The wind that swept the heat raised her hair, which was already drenched in sweat. There were very few cars and people down on the roads, neither knowing that Arianne was risking her life or escaping…Soon after, the driver caught up with Arianne. When he saw her by the guardrails, he was shocked. “Ms… Ms. Wynn… I’ll stop chasing after
“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 he saw matted black mane drenched in the sea of blood, he stopped in his tracks. In that instant, despair hit him like a train and he 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?”How
When Davy brought them in, Mark even served them some high class tea and had a casual expression on his face as though nothing had happened at all. However, it was exactly because of his calm demeanor that Mateo’s parents were scared out of their wits. They were completely clueless as to what the man before them was actually thinking.The first to speak up was Mrs. Rodriguez. “Mr. Tremont, I know that our son was in the wrong, but… he’s already dead. So, I beg of you, could you please return us his body? As long as you give it back to us, we will do anything you ask for.”Mark lips curled into a cold snicker. “Can you make everything right with just an admission of guilt? My wife is still lying in the hospital. Who knows when she’ll wake up, so how are you going to make that right? I suppose there’s a way for you to retrieve Mateo’s corpse…”Mark deliberately stopped his sentence halfway to leave them in suspense. The moment they saw that there was hope, Mrs. Rodriguez hurriedly a
Soon, the police arrived to understand the situation. Mark graciously brought out the surveillance cameras he had in his office. In order to prepare for that day’s commotion, he deliberately instructed to have surveillance cameras installed in his office.Regardless of the angle, Mrs. Rodriguez had jumped out of her own will and Mark had not even moved from his seat at his desk from the beginning. Plus, coupled with the fact that Mr. Rodriguez “silently acknowledged” it as his tears fell without saying anything, the police deemed it to be suicide before closing the case.After the police left, Mr. Rodriguez asked with a shaky voice, “When will I be able to bring my son home with me?”Mark smiled slightly. “Anytime, don’t forget your wife’s corpse as well. Although she’s a complete mess from her fall, she still needs to be buried properly.”Mr. Rodriguez walked towards the door helplessly. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped. “Are you… really letting me go?”Mark’s expr
Jackson was on the other end of the phone call. “Mark, where are you? I want to find you now. It’s about… the matter before Arianne got caught up in that incident. The driver and nanny that was accompanying her have been found.”Mark lightly took a breath. “All right… I understand. Come to my house then, I’m here.”After waiting for approximately half an hour, Jackson and Tiffany entered the door together. Coincidentally, Alejandro was with them as well. However, he was there alone without bringing Melanie with him.While they chatted in the living room, Mark asked Mary to bring Smore with her to play somewhere else.Tiffany’s eyes had gone red before she even spoke. “How’s Ari?”Mark shook his head lightly without saying anything. He did not wish to repeat what the doctor had told him. At that moment, Arianne was still in critical condition.Jackson heaved a sigh. “The driver was at the scene when Mateo and Arianne fell from the building. Before that, when they arrived at the ai
