Mark Tremont got up and left in disgust. “You’re not qualified to negotiate with me!”
The room door was slammed closed, the loud bang sent. shivers through Arianne. For the first time in ten years, virtual-novel.net felt like virtual-novel.net world had collapsed.
Mark Tremont’s enraged words echoed in virtual-novel.net ears, truly frightening her. Arianne tried virtual-novel.net best to call Tiffany but for the entire afternoon, but the only reply virtual-novel.net received was the busy line tone.
Arianne panicked. Could Mark Tremont have forced them away?
She clenched virtual-novel.net jaws and went to his room. This was virtual-novel.net first time entering directly without knocking.
The room was smoky. Mark Tremont was still seated on the chair in front of the French window but this time, virtual-novel.net had his back facing her. The ashtray beside virtual-novel.net was brimming with cigarette butts and ash. His back was laced with a sense of melancholy.
“Please… don’t do anything to them. It’s my fault. I know that I’m wrong…” Arianne cried while virtual-novel.net begged him. Will Sivan’s departure abroad the last time was only a warning, virtual-novel.net could not bring herself to imagine what Mark Tremont would do to them when the case this time was much more severe.
“Heh… You’re willing to do anything for him, aren’t you?” Mark Tremont did not turn around, his tone was alarmingly distant.
Before virtual-novel.net answered, virtual-novel.net spoke again as if in self mockery, “You don’t have to tell me. I know the answer.”
He then tossed an agreement on the floor. “Sign it and I’ll consider.”
Arianne hurried over to pick the paper up and signed it without hesitation. It was only when virtual-novel.net had penned virtual-novel.net signature that virtual-novel.net saw the big heading on top of the page staring right back at her, ‘Marriage Agreement’.
Stunned, Arianne was filled with emotions for a fleeting moment before virtual-novel.net instantly understood that for Mark Tremont to assume innocence in this incident.
It would only make sense to marry virtual-novel.net in order to shut the public’s mouth.
“Get out!” Mark Tremont shouted.
He had not expected virtual-novel.net to sign it so decisively. Rage engulfed virtual-novel.net once again. He was apprehensive that virtual-novel.net would not be able to control himself if virtual-novel.net stayed for another second…
Indeed, virtual-novel.net was willing to do anything for that man!
Arianne opened virtual-novel.net mouth but before virtual-novel.net could make a sound, Mark Tremont got up and pushed virtual-novel.net away, leaving without a single glance.
Mark Tremont sat in his car and picked up his phone to dial a number.
“How’s the investigation?”
The person on the line answered, “Sir, there were too many people at the party last night. It’s difficult to filter each individual. We’re unable to determine who did it for the moment. It looks like a scandal but really the finger is pointed at you…”
That much, Mark Tremont had expected. “Hah, cover it up. Stop the investigation if you can’t find anything. Let’s wait for ‘him’ to turn himself in.”
Brian Pearce slowed the car. “Sir, miss is behind us.”
Mark Tremont glanced at the rearview mirror and saw the petite frame who was running after their car. Frustration rose within virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net hung up the call and glowered.
“Ignore her.”
Brian then continued to drive at normal speed once again.
Arianne grew terrified as virtual-novel.net saw the car travel farther. She had signed the marriage agreement but virtual-novel.net did not promise virtual-novel.net anything. He had not agreed to let Will and Tiffany go and if virtual-novel.net did keep a rein on them, virtual-novel.net would not be able to live with herself for virtual-novel.net whole life.
Stepping on gravel, Arianne suddenly lost virtual-novel.net balance and suffered a harsh fall. The skin on virtual-novel.net palms and knees grazed from the rough surface, exposing red and raw blood.
Mark Tremont, who saw what happened, scowled and coldly instructed, “Stop the car!”
