The other party turned a deaf ear to her pleas as he punitively imposed himself on her. Arianne felt like a lone boat that was threatening to capsize at any time on the raging sea.She had no idea how long the storm lasted before everything finally calmed down. Mark got up and went into the bathroom without even looking back.Arianne laid on the bed motionlessly like a broken puppet while listening to the sound of a running shower. Her heart felt like it was going to explode. She felt pain and sorrow...Soon after that, Mark left Tremont Estate. She could clearly hear the sound of his car engine until it faded into the distance.The same scene had replayed countless times in the past, and every time she was left feeling like her world had fallen apart yet again. However, the intensity this time was much worse than before.The next day, Arianne showed up at work on time as usual. The nightmare she had from last night’s incident caused her complexion to look worse than ever.Eric w

Arianne breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone had moments when they needed to be comforted during an emotional breakdown. She guessed that Will was going through it right now and was eager to get some emotional support. Everything would return to normal when his mind was no longer clouded. She didn’t have much to worry about.At this time in the Kinsey Estate, Aery was having a confrontation with Helen. “I’m not leaving Mark dear! Don’t you even think about helping that bitch Ari get her way. You were the one who allowed me to stay with Mark dear before. So you'll treat her like a daughter but not me?”Helen had already run out of patience at this point. She delivered a slap across Aery’s face. “That’s enough! Are you capable of asking Mark Tremont to save the Kinsey family? If you can’t, then stay away from him! I’m not going to let an idiot like you ruin all my previous efforts. How could I have a daughter like you?”She had promised Arianne that she would keep Aery away from Mark a

Arianne was sweating bullets. She tried getting up a few times but failed. When Brian saw this scene, he couldn’t help but remind Mark. “Sir… Madam is…”Mark turned his gaze to Arianne then begrudgingly let go of Will while glaring at her. “You owe me an explanation!”Will’s first reaction was to go and help Arianne up, but Brian hurriedly stopped him. “Mr. Sivan, please leave now. The rest is the Tremont family’s affairs, which don’t concern you.”Will understood what Brian was trying to tell him. He cast a worried glance at Arianne then reluctantly exited the room.He wanted to say something but didn’t know if he should. Any wrong move would end up causing Arianne to suffer.Brian exited the room too and shut the door, leaving only Arianne and Mark behind in the ward.After a brief silence, Mark spoke up. “You really are a disappointment…”Arianne sat on the cold floor with her gaze lowered. The corners of her mouth lifted. “I’m sorry… I have never been able to satisfy you sin

Tiffany resisted the urge to retort. “Thank you for your reminder, boss. I will take note of that.”Jackson wasn’t actually that much older than her, yet he was putting on airs in front of her. She just really couldn’t stand the way he was patronizing her.Tiffany let out a long sigh of relief when they reached the hospital. She held onto the last trace of her sanity to smile and bid Jackson farewell.When she entered Arianne’s ward, she was shocked to see how weak Arianne was. Her face was strangely pale, and even her usually red lips were as pale as her face. “Ari, what happened?”Arianne propped herself up and forced a smile. “Sit down first… Let me get comfortable...”Tiffany helped Arianne to sit up. She was fuming by the time she learned of the whole story. “That Aery Kinsey is a bitch! She’s trying to kill you! I hope karma gets her for the things she’d done. Don’t worry, Ari, there’s surveillance cameras everywhere, so she can’t get away with it. Since you are Mark Tremont

Helen tried her best to maintain her composure. “O-Of course... There’s no way I would make a mistake. At the time, Aery was fighting with me at home because she was out late and drinking the previous night. It was her friends who sent her home. The sports car was left at the venue and I had to send the chauffeur over to fetch it home the next day. Little did I expect an accident to happen along the way. I’m extremely confident in my memory. In any case, we are still the ones at fault since the chauffeur works for the Kinsey family. It’s your call to make, we will accept your decision.”Mark didn’t give her an immediate answer. Helen looked at him anxiously, biting her lip so hard that it was going to draw blood in the next second.After a while, Mark finally spoke up. “You are Arianne’s mother. Aery is her half-sister. This incident can only be settled privately outside of court. I’ll have someone stay behind and follow up with you. I’ll be leaving now, I have some other matters to
