Jean got up from the ground with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. “That’s right… Arianne still has the money and house in virtual-novel.net hand. Those add up to about three million dollars, which will be enough to last us for a while! Let’s go find her!”
After doing some investigating, Aery learned that Arianne had been hospitalized since last night. She stormed to the hospital, only to be stopped by the bodyguards at the door. By now, virtual-novel.net no longer cared about keeping up virtual-novel.net image as a lady from a wealthy family. “Let me in! Let me find that bitch!”
Mary heard the commotion outside the ward. Her face sank as soon as virtual-novel.net went out. “Why are you here?”
Aery tried virtual-novel.net best to stand on virtual-novel.net toes to catch a glimpse inside the ward. “Arianne is in there, right? Let me in! I have an urgent matter!”
Aery looked more like virtual-novel.net was here to kill instead of looking for someone. Naturally, Mary wouldn’t allow virtual-novel.net to pass. “Miss Kinsey, our madam isn’t well enough to receive guests. Please leave or I’ll have to take action against you if you continue making a commotion here.”
Aery flung virtual-novel.net hand at Mary’s face, instantly leaving bloody claw marks on virtual-novel.net face. “Scram! You’re just a dog for the Tremont family!” Aery shouted at virtual-novel.net like a madwoman.
Mary covered virtual-novel.net check with one hand and trembled with anger. “Get this woman out of here! I’ll call sir.”
At Mary’s order, the two bodyguards immediately took Aery away and kicked virtual-novel.net out of the hospital.
Mary wasn’t going to take this lying down. She called Mark and cried to him, “Sir, Aery Kinsey just came to the hospital and caused a commotion! She even scratched my face like a madwoman! How could madam rest with all this noises? Although I’ve sent virtual-novel.net away already, I’m not sure if she’s coming back again.”
Mark was in a meeting at the moment. He maintained the gentle smile on his face in front of his subordinates, but his eyes had turned frosty. “Alright, I’ll take care of it. Don’t worry. Just look after virtual-novel.net well.” People who didn’t know better would think that virtual-novel.net had just answered an ordinary phone call.
By the time virtual-novel.net came out of the meeting, the smile on his face had been replaced by a cold look. “Invite Aery Kinsey over,” be instructed his secretary, Ellie, who was behind him.
Half an hour later, Aery showed up at the Tremont Tower looking all dressed up. Although it was Mark’s secretary who contacted her, virtual-novel.net was still overjoyed. After all, the fact that Mark was willing to meet virtual-novel.net was already a good sign. She took virtual-novel.net time to dress up because virtual-novel.net knew that appearance was the key to a man’s heart.
When virtual-novel.net entered Mark’s office, virtual-novel.net even deliberately swayed virtual-novel.net hips. “Mark dear, I’m here.”
Mark stood in front of the transparent glass wall, overlooking the magnificent scenery outside. Half of the cigarette between his fingers had burned out. “Why did you go looking for her? I only withdrew the funding and didn’t plan on doing anything to you. Are you not satisfied yet?”
Aery was stunned. She didn’t understand what virtual-novel.net meant by saying that but also noticed that something was off. Her expression even contorted out of fear under virtual-novel.net delicate makeup. “W-What?”
Mark turned around and snubbed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray. He looked at virtual-novel.net and the air around virtual-novel.net turned cold too. “Aery Kinsey, why do you think I was with you before? I wanted to make virtual-novel.net feel uncomfortable because you are virtual-novel.net half-sister. I concealed the fact that you were the one who caused virtual-novel.net miscarriage and even helped the Kinsey family only because I wanted to anger her. To put it plainly, I was only using you. But you’re no longer needed now and I’ve already grown tired of you. You aren’t that naive to think that I really liked you, are you?”
“I’m warning you now, I’m capable of doing worse things if you insist on finding trouble with virtual-novel.net again. She was admitted into the hospital for virtual-novel.net second miscarriage. Due to the damage caused by virtual-novel.net first miscarriage, virtual-novel.net will never be able to have virtual-novel.net own child. This is all thanks to you, and it’s also the reason why I have withdrawn the funding. I’m only sparing you because you are virtual-novel.net younger sister. You should know your limits.”
Aery took two steps back involuntarily. “Mark dear… this isn’t true, right? You’re just lying to me… You clearly told me that you liked me. Besides… I only went looking for virtual-novel.net to take back the money and house. The assets that my mom got after the divorce belong to the Kinsey family. She has no right to keep them. I was only going to take them back. I never planned on doing anything to her… Her first miscarriage was an accident. I was only going to teach virtual-novel.net a lesson out of anger because I saw virtual-novel.net with Will Sivan. I felt bad for you! I didn’t even know virtual-novel.net was pregnant! You can’t blame that on me!”
Irritated by the noise, Mark lit another cigarette in annoyance. “Don’t use me as an excuse. You did that only because you wanted to. The assets that your mother received after the divorce no longer belong to the Kinsey family. Are you still a kid? You can’t even understand that? Since virtual-novel.net gave them to Arianne, then they belong to Arianne now. Alright, I‘ve said enough. You better not go looking for virtual-novel.net again.”
Mark obviously didn’t want to say more than that. Aery was a little unsteady on virtual-novel.net feet while virtual-novel.net was drowning in the sea of emotions. Soon after that, virtual-novel.net growled, “So you were really only using me? Is that why you never wanted to touch me? I see now… You can easily crush the Kinsey family with just a lift of your finger. I’m not willing to accept that I’m just a pawn to you. Why did that bitch get everything? I’ve lost everything now, but I’m not afraid anymore. I’ll never let virtual-novel.net off the hook!”
