After all the shock and fluctuating emotions, Arianne slumped in the car seat, feeling like an empty shell. “Let’s go back,” virtual-novel.net said weakly.
Thinking about the call from Helen that virtual-novel.net had rejected earlier, virtual-novel.net took out virtual-novel.net phone and called back. The call was very quickly picked up and brought right to the point. “You knew it was Aery who hit me, right?”
Helen choked on the other end of the line. “Ari… I’m sorry…My hands are tied. Both of you are equally important to me, but I have my difficulties too… I’m sorry…”
Arianne sneered. “Sure, you have your difficulties. I deserved it. I deserved this miscarriage, I deserved being nearly killed. Didn’t you ask me for a favor before since you gave birth to me? I owed you the life you gave me, so now… I have repaid it with the life of my child. From now on, I don’t owe you anything else.”
She immediately hung up after saying that and blocked Helen’s phone number in one go.
After doing all that, virtual-novel.net let out a long sigh of relief.
As expected, Mark didn’t return to the Tremont Estate that night. Arianne returned to work as usual the next day with the bandage on virtual-novel.net forehead. Although virtual-novel.net was still very weak, virtual-novel.net had no desire to be bedridden in Tremont Estate. Only by being in the office did virtual-novel.net feel alive.
Eric, who’d been informed of the car accident that virtual-novel.net was involved in, felt worried when virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net coming back to work. “Do… you need a few more days of rest? I can let you take a month of paid leaves.”
Arianne smiled at him. “I’m fine, Mr. Nathaniel. Please return to your work.”
Eric frowned. He could sense a change in virtual-novel.net but couldn’t quite put a finger on it.
Just when virtual-novel.net was debating on whether to continue persuading her, a cutesy voice suddenly interrupted him. “Eric…”
He instantly jumped as his skin crawled. The voice belonged to none other than Aery Kinsey!
Arianne lowered virtual-novel.net head quietly and continued working while trying virtual-novel.net best to suppress the anger burning in virtual-novel.net heart.
“Why are you here? I’m at work. Go do whatever you need to without making any trouble.” Eric never liked dealing with Aery. He only ever talked to virtual-novel.net out of respect for Mark.
“Oh my, Eric. I was just delivering some desserts that I’ve made myself to Mark darling and thought of dropping by to send some to you and big sis. Why do you have to react so hatefully?” While speaking, Aery came up and placed two boxes of desserts on Arianne’s office desk.
Arianne was so disgusted that virtual-novel.net instantly reached out to sweep the desserts off virtual-novel.net desk.
Silence immediately set in. Aery gave virtual-novel.net an aggrieved look and raised virtual-novel.net voice. “What are you doing, big sis? I was kind enough to share some desserts with you. Do you have to do that? Are you still angry that my chauffeur had accidentally caused your miscarrige? Didn’t we agree to have this settled privately? It wasn’t like my chauffeur had done that intentionally… At the end of the day, virtual-novel.net was just a chauffeur and I fired him. Why are you mad at me?”
“Oh by the way, I heard it was Will Sivan’s car that got hit. Why were you in his car? I recall it was during office hours at the time. Did you meet virtual-novel.net for something important? How unlucky. If you had stayed in the office, something like that wouldn’t have happened… ”
As soon Aery finished speaking, the surroundings grew more silent.
Arianne was both fuming and amused. “Are you saying that I’m petty and that I have a questionable relationship with Will Sivan even though I am Mrs. Tremont?”
