”I’m curious,” Arianne said mockingly, “You’re pinning your hopes on me instead of Aery?” She certainly remembered how virtual-novel.net wonderful mother had allowed Aery to remain as Mark’s lover, despite knowing that virtual-novel.net was virtual-novel.net husband. She even tried to persuade virtual-novel.net to leave him. How disgusting!
Helen felt embarrassed. “Ari, I know that you hate me. I had no idea that you and Mark were married when Aery was with Mark. I may have brought up an inadvisable request to you, but I’ve stopped Aery from any further intimate communications with Mark. They haven’t been contacting each other too often lately. You’ve probably realized this, right? Help me, just this once and I guarantee that Aery will never mess up your lives again. I can also guarantee… that won’t appear in front of you again!”
Arianne laughed in spite of virtual-novel.net rage. “Are you negotiating with me? As long as I help you, you’ll help me get rid of my husband’s lover and you’ll never show your face in front of me again? Have you ever gone to such lengths for my father and I? Was that Kinsey man that important to you? So important that you’d abandon your husband and daughter, and live such a shameless life now? Stop the car!”
Helen stopped the car at the side of the road. Arianne refused to spend another moment longer with her. Before virtual-novel.net left, Helen called out, “I don’t care what you think I’m a dying woman anyway. Perhaps you’d feel better when I’m dead.”
Arianne bit virtual-novel.net lips and left, not bothering to look back. All virtual-novel.net felt was anger now, but when virtual-novel.net thought of how the woman who’d troubled virtual-novel.net continuously from virtual-novel.net childhood was dying… She couldn’t help feeling a little sad…
The Kinseys’ home.
Helen noticed a pair of expensive leather shoes at the front porch and knew that virtual-novel.net husband, Jean Kinsey, was home. She didn’t feel too happy about it, but rather, felt mildly exhausted instead.
She ignored the happy chatter between father and daughter, and opted to go upstairs to virtual-novel.net bedroom straightaway.
When virtual-novel.net emerged from the bathroom, virtual-novel.net found Jean rummaging through virtual-novel.net handbag on the bed. She frowned, “What are you looking for?”
Jean looked sullen. “What is this?”
Helen saw the item in his hand and rushed forward to tear it up. “A fake diagnosis report There’s no use for it now.”
Jean’s expression softened. “You scared me to death. I thought you really had cancer! What do you have this for? By the way, I’ve heard from Aery that the collaboration with Tremont Enterprise has fallen through. What were you thinking? Didn’t I tell you to ask Arianne? What happened? I asked for your help in serious business, not discuss your mother-daughter relationship with Zachary Wynn’s daughter!”
Helen stared silently at the man in front of her. Jean Kinsey may be a middle-aged man, but there were still traces of his handsomeness from his youth. Her deep feelings for virtual-novel.net back then were also one of virtual-novel.net reasons for pursuing the Kinseys without any second thoughts.
After all, the two Kinsey elderly folks viewed virtual-novel.net with disdain a few years ago, as virtual-novel.net had previously had a child and this was virtual-novel.net second marriage. After they passed on, virtual-novel.net pretty much blossomed. She felt that virtual-novel.net had lived a pretty good life, but now, things were taking a turn for the worse for the Kinsey family and this man was forcing virtual-novel.net to set up meetings with Arianne. Furthermore, virtual-novel.net was prodding virtual-novel.net with insinuations.
After a long pause, virtual-novel.net finally said, “Jean, if you don’t want me to have anything to do with Zachary or rebuild my relationship with Arianne, don’t tell me to see her!”
Jean instantly calmed down. However, virtual-novel.net was clearly still enraged. “I just want results.”
Helen took a deep breath and said, “There are no results yet. But there will be, soon… Just wait.”
She had used cancer as a lie to fool Arianne for the Kinsey family. She had even taken credit for Mark’s distant attitude towards Aery, to boot, so that Arianne would think that virtual-novel.net was responsible for preventing Aery from being with Mark.
As a mother, virtual-novel.net was disgusted with herself. She was also extremely disappointed with Jean, a man who had nothing else but good looks and a glib tongue. At the end of the day, the Kinsey family’s survival res ted on virtual-novel.net shoulders and hers alone. The weather grew chilly at nightfall.
