Tiffany scoffed. “Your mom and that bitch, Aery. It’s good being rich nowadays. Aery ran virtual-novel.net car into you and caused your miscarriage, and yet, here virtual-novel.net is, out and about. I thought virtual-novel.net would end up in jail for years! Nauseating! They must have spent a lot to bail virtual-novel.net out. How could Mark endure this?”
Arianne inhaled deeply, not daring to reveal the truth despite virtual-novel.net conscience. “She’s my younger sister. We share the same mother. Since mom gave birth to me, I’ll just consider this as repaying her. What were they doing in the hospital anyway?”
Tiffany thought about it for a moment before virtual-novel.net replied, “It seemed like your mom went there for a health check. She’s got a great life, much better than yours. Her health is good. She doesn’t have many issues despite virtual-novel.net age. I heard the doctor said virtual-novel.net physical state is even comparable to young girls since virtual-novel.net has taken very good care of herself. Tsk, tsk, you better worry about yourself instead.”
There was a buzz in Arianne’s head. “Are you sure?”
Did Helen not have cancer? Helen had asked virtual-novel.net to plead with Mark to help the Kinseys!
Tiffany said huffily, “Do you think I’m hard of hearing, huh?”
Not in the mood to say more, Arianne answered, “No. Alright then, Mark’s home. I can’t be talking about Will. I’m hanging up.”
After the call, Arianne called Helen. When it was connected, Helen sounded calm. “Ari, why are you calling me out of the blue?”
Based on how composed the woman sounded, Arianne felt as though Helen was disturbingly manipulative. When Helen had seen Tiffany in the hospital, Helen must have predicted virtual-novel.net would discover the truth. This was probably why Helen was so composed when virtual-novel.net answered the phone, not even bothered to feign affection.
Arianne felt a piece of virtual-novel.net heart crumble. “Helen Cameran, you lied to me about having cancer, didn’t you? I had hoped you didn’t have cancer previously, but now, I truly hope it’s real. You’re sickening! You made me feel terrible about you giving birth to me. You used me and lied to me! For the Kinseys, for that man, for Aery! You used me! Your daughter ran virtual-novel.net car into me, causing my miscarriage and used virtual-novel.net driver as a scapegoat. You’re the one who dealt with that matter. You’re both really similar! Good job, Helen Cameran, I’ll make you regret this. I’m not like dad. I’m not so foolish to love you to death without asking for anything in return!”
Helen was quiet for a moment before virtual-novel.net said, “Will you promise to help me if I didn’t lie to you? I was cornered without any way out… No matter what you think of me, that image is already deeply rooted in your mind. I’m not asking for anything more. I only hope that you remember you still have me, your mother, when you need solace in the future.”
Deeply revolted, Arianne replied, “Stop pretending. I didn’t help you with anything anyway. When I begged Mark, virtual-novel.net didn’t promise me anything. You should thank your daughter, Aery Kinsey, for hooking up with a valuable man when the Kinseys received Mark’s help!” She hung up instantly as soon as virtual-novel.net finished speaking. When virtual-novel.net broke out of virtual-novel.net trance, tears were already streaming down virtual-novel.net face.
“Are you… crying?” Nina’s voice rang all of a sudden from behind her.
“No.” Arianne wiped virtual-novel.net tears and turned to leave, not wanting to be someone else’s joke.
It was like Nina was constantly going against virtual-novel.net wish as virtual-novel.net shouted, “What are you crying about, Arianne? I seemed to hear you talking on the phone with your mom earlier? And you mentioned Mark… So you’re not an orphan? You have a mom?”
Arianne stopped abruptly in virtual-novel.net tracks and turned back to look at her. “Shut it! Is it fun to talk about someone’s personal affair?”
Nina pursed virtual-novel.net lips. “No. I’m just curious why you’re a sobbing mess. You look so pitiful. Tsk.”
Mark only looked at them. Although virtual-novel.net did not say anything, his eyes were inquisitive. Arianne ignored them and went upstairs.
