Aery’s heart burned with jealousy when virtual-novel.net saw Mark behaving in this manner. Was virtual-novel.net mad at Arianne for what happened? “Mark, darling, haven’t you always been aware of my sister’s obscure relationship with Will? You should have anticipated that something like this would happen, after all, they did… You know, three years ago. I’ve always thought that you and my sister are incompatible. She doesn’t love you anyway and is bound to betray you. Why won’t you let go? Why are you making trouble for yourself?”
Mark took a deep breath and leaned back against the car seat, “Who told you about this? Why were you, of all people, informed?”
“I don’t know,” Aery quickly explained, “I wasn’t aware of this at all. I was surprised when I received the news, I even called again, but the phone was off. It doesn’t matter who told me about it, the informant wasn’t lying. You and I both saw it with our own eyes, right? Can anyone really fake this kind of thing? My sister has only started work at Eric’s new company and something like this happens? It feels as if it’s been planned for a long time. How does Will know she’s there? Just think about it carefully. Will knows where virtual-novel.net works on the second day of work. They must have kept in touch quite often.”
Aery continued to say, “I’m pretty sure the informant saw Will and my sister walking into the hotel and could not stand to watch it. They probably didn’t want to get into trouble that’s why they decided to remain anonymous. Didn’t you speak to Eric? My sister left the office during lunch. She took advantage of virtual-novel.net lunch break to go on a date… That’s crossing a line. She’s doing all this because you’re busy and your office is far away. If virtual-novel.net didn’t meet Will, nothing would have happened. No one could kidnap virtual-novel.net and send virtual-novel.net to the hotel after all.”
Mark suddenly pressed on the accelerator, and the car sped on ahead. Aery was so frightened that virtual-novel.net turned pale, clutching tightly at the seatbelt. “Slow down, Mark! Don’t worry, I’ll always be with you no matter what happens. You’ve already cut ties with me for her, but she’s still acting like this. How ruthless!”
Mark did not answer. At this point, virtual-novel.net needed an outlet for his emotions instead of staying here and listening to these annoying, rotten words!

Arianne waited at the Tremont Estate’s main door until one in the morning, but Mark still did not return. She knew virtual-novel.net would not come back today, but virtual-novel.net still wanted to wait. Regardless if virtual-novel.net believed virtual-novel.net or not, virtual-novel.net wanted to explain herself clearly.
Mary was unaware of what had happened. She discovered Arianne carrying Rice Ball and standing at the doorway, still awake in the dead of the night.
“Stop waiting,” Mary said in a voice full of concern, trying to convince virtual-novel.net to go back to virtual-novel.net room, “Mr. Tremont probably won’t be coming home tonight. He’s a little busy. Get some sleep first. It’s not like it’s the first time virtual-novel.net hasn’t come home.”
Arianne felt tears threatening to spill from virtual-novel.net eyes. “It’s different this time… Mary… Go to bed. Don’t worry about me.”
Mary knew that Arianne was stubborn so virtual-novel.net did not continue persuading her.
Suddenly, the phone in Arianne’s pajama pocket rang. She quickly put Rice Ball down and pulled out virtual-novel.net phone. She teared up when virtual-novel.net saw Mark’s name on the screen. All sorts of possibilities flitted through virtual-novel.net mind at this moment. Perhaps, virtual-novel.net had gotten drunk somewhere and needed virtual-novel.net to pick virtual-novel.net up. Perhaps, virtual-novel.net had called to scold her. However, when virtual-novel.net answered the phone, virtual-novel.net heard Aery’s voice at the end of the line. “You can stop waiting, Arianne. Darling Mark’s going to stay with me at a hotel tonight. He’s just had a shower and gone to bed…”
Arianne stopped breathing for a moment. Aery had intentionally emphasized that Mark had just taken a shower and gone to bed. There was no doubt Aery was trying to tell virtual-novel.net about what had transpired between Mark and her. It took a while before virtual-novel.net found virtual-novel.net voice again. “I understand. Don’t get too pleased with yourself, Aery. If I find out you’re responsible for this mess, you better prepare yourself for the fight of your life!”
