Tears rolled in virtual-novel.net eyes, but Tiffany tried virtual-novel.net best to keep them from falling. “Hnnn, I can tell that this Sasha is just like me. We’re nothing but your stepping stones. Instead of getting angry, I should sympathize with her. Your eyes are as cold a s the harsh winter wind. That’s how you’ve been looking at me since before, I was just too fond of indulging in my own fantasies. No need to pay back the money. Since I willingly spent it on you, I have no right to ask for it back. Thank you for teaching me a lesson. Thank you for giving me a hard blow when my entire world is crumbling. You really disgust me!”
Having said that, virtual-novel.net turned around and left. It was then that tears finally came streaming down virtual-novel.net face.
She understood everything the moment Ethan came out of the bathroom. The first thing virtual-novel.net worried about was not the fact that virtual-novel.net was soaked to the bone, but the secrets virtual-novel.net had in his phone. The disappointment was too much that virtual-novel.net could no longer continue deceiving herself.
She went back to the rental house in a daze. The old-fashioned residential building had only five floors. There was no property management. Every floor was occupied by about ten households of various types of tenants. The occasional drunken shouts virtual-novel.net heard were frightening. The corridors were very dark too.
Tiffany sorted out virtual-novel.net emotions in front of the door, then fished out virtual-novel.net keys. When virtual-novel.net gaze fell on the door lock, virtual-novel.net suddenly noticed a few scratches on it. Since the door lock was newly replaced when they moved in, these were signs of a break-in!
In virtual-novel.net nervousness, virtual-novel.net palms began to sweat. She grabbed a steel pipe from the corner, then pushed open the door with virtual-novel.net trembling hands. The light was quickly turned on, and virtual-novel.net was greeted by a messy sight. The neatly tidied rental house was now in shambles. Her mom laid unconscious on the ground.
“Mom! Mom! What’s wrong?” She rushed forward and cried like a child with virtual-novel.net mother in virtual-novel.net cradle. Her strong facade was completely shattered by the series of unfortunate events.
Lillian’s lips were pale and virtual-novel.net was unresponsive. In virtual-novel.net panic, Tiffany took out virtual-novel.net phone and called Arianne.
Arianne was about to sleep when virtual-novel.net received the call. “Hello…? What’s wrong, Tiffie?”
“My house has been burglarized! I don’t know what’s wrong with my mom! I can’t wake virtual-novel.net up… I don’t know what to do… Help me, Ari! Help me…” Tiffany cried while shouting hysterically.
Arianne quickly got out of bed in shock. Her sudden movements brought about the throbbing pain in virtual-novel.net lower abdomen. She winced in pain and instantly felt weak. “Tiffie… don’t panic… Send me your location I’ll go there with a few bodyguards. It’ll be fine… Everything will be fine. Just ensure your own safety first, alright?”
Knowing Tiffany, virtual-novel.net would never cry for help like an ordinary girl unless virtual-novel.net was in serious trouble. This made Arianne extremely anxious. She endured virtual-novel.net abdominal pain as virtual-novel.net ran downstairs and shouted for Butler Henry. With two bodyguards with her, they rushed to where Tiffany lived.
Tears almost fell from Arianne’s eyes when virtual-novel.net saw the gloomy, old-fashioned residential building. She hadn’t visited Tiffany ever since they moved here so virtual-novel.net wasn’t expecting it to look like this.
The place was extremely messy ant! crowded by all sorts of people. It was definitely not easy to manage.
By the time they got upstairs, Tiffany was crying until virtual-novel.net was on the verge of collapse.
Arianne called the cops then sent Lillian to the hospital. Fortunately, virtual-novel.net had only fainted from shock and would be fine.
Tiffany cried in Arianne’s arms at the hospital’s corridor for two hours. She had told Arianne everything, and Arianne felt extremely sorry for her. Other than feeling sad for her, the pain in virtual-novel.net abdomen prevented virtual-novel.net from giving Tiffany any other responses. She wasn’t even able to offer virtual-novel.net words of comfort. Beads of sweat rolled down virtual-novel.net cheek as everything before virtual-novel.net eyes started to turn blurry.
Butler Henry noticed virtual-novel.net pale complexion, then asked in concern, “Madam, are you feeling unwell?”
Arianne clutched virtual-novel.net lower abdomen as virtual-novel.net endured the pain. “I’m… I’m alright… All of you return first, I’ll keep Tiffie accompanied. If Mark is looking for me, just inform virtual-novel.net of the situation.”
