Tiffany was craving for the food in White Water Bay Cafe, but virtual-novel.net was also concerned about Arianne’s health. “Are you sure you are fit to go out? We can go another day…”
In fact, Arianne was bored, “No, I’m fine, let’s go! I’m afraid the White Water Bay Cafe is full now. Let me call Jackson first to get a table. Don’t worry, I’m not going to mention you.”
Both of them left the Tremont Estate after Jackson reserved a table for them. Naturally, the bodyguards and Mary saw Arianne heading out. However, they did not stop virtual-novel.net since virtual-novel.net was not carrying virtual-novel.net luggage.
Arianne found this amusing. After all, if virtual-novel.net really wanted to escape, virtual-novel.net did not need to bring virtual-novel.net luggage. However, the people from the Tremont Estate would eventually find her. She would rather not go through the hassle.

Tiffany ordered a few of virtual-novel.net favorite dishes when they arrived at the White Water Bay Cafe. Her mood seemed to have gotten better.
Arianne reminded virtual-novel.net gently, “You can order more since Jackson said that the bill is on him. Just order a few more. You know that he’s doing Mark a favor since such an opportunity is rare.”
Tiffany smirked and placed virtual-novel.net order again. “All right! Look, you have to take good care of me since I’m so poor to the extent that I can only get food through your connection.”
Arianne smiled silently. She would willingly give everything to Tiffany when virtual-novel.net was still Mrs. Tremont However, things had changed once virtual-novel.net had lost that title. One could only enjoy the benefits when one had Mark’s favor.
Tiffany suddenly received a message, and virtual-novel.net expression changed almost instantly. She said, “Ari, Ethan is here, and virtual-novel.net wants to spend some time with me.”
Arianne furtively looked around but did not see Ethan. He was probably inside one of the rooms in the cafe. Tiffany and Arianne were sitting in the main hall today. She said, “Go ahead. Although both of you have broken up, it’s good not to make enemies out of each other. I’m sure you wouldn’t have told me about it if you truly didn’t want to see him. You would’ve just ignored his message.”
Initially, Tiffany was afraid that Arianne would be mad at her. Upon hearing Arianne’s words, virtual-novel.net felt relieved. “Alright, I’ll be right back. I won’t let you eat alone.”
Arianne nodded. She lowered virtual-novel.net head and scrolled through virtual-novel.net phone. She randomly saw a piece of news about the development of a high-potential unfinished building that was put to a stop due to a conflict with its land title. The news would not have attracted virtual-novel.net attention if it was not mentioned that the person who purchased the buildings was Ethan Connor.
She wondered why Ethan would purchase an unfinished building without verifying the land title. Logically, virtual-novel.net should have known about it and took it into consideration…

Inside the room.
Tiffany felt uneasy. She regretted coming. More than half of the diners in the room were women. Some looked like they were in their 305 and some looked younger. Most importantly, they were all dressed luxuriously. She was only clad in a simple attire today like a fresh graduate. She looked like a fish out of water in here.
Unknowingly, the ladies began their silent comparison and competition. Indeed, virtual-novel.net had nothing to compete with any of the women. She was defeated in an embarrassing manner especially in front of virtual-novel.net ex-boyfriend.
Ethan pulled virtual-novel.net down and sat virtual-novel.net down on the empty seat beside him. “Stop making fun of me. This is my girlfriend, Tiffany. Have a seat, Tiffie.”
Tiffany had no idea what Ethan was playing at. After a while, virtual-novel.net discovered most of the men in the room had brought their female companions along. However, there were still more females than males. Ethan’s friends must have mocked virtual-novel.net for not bringing a companion. That was probably the reason virtual-novel.net had asked over, using virtual-novel.net as a shield.
Tiffany was, naturally, very upset, but virtual-novel.net did not express it. She drew closer to Ethan and whispered when the others were distracted, “I’m not working for free. I want 10,000 dollars.”
Ethan’s expression was blank as virtual-novel.net turned to look at Tiffany, virtual-novel.net lips accidentally touching his cheeks. She could not avoid it in time.
Ethan said with an ambiguous smile, “Deal.”
After sitting for about 20 minutes, Tiffany who was still upset rose to virtual-novel.net feet and said, “Hey, I’ll make a move first since I came with my friend. Call me if you need anything, Ethan.” She would be a professional actress since virtual-novel.net was going to be paid.
Ethan did not stop virtual-novel.net but agreed. “Alright, let’s go back together after dinner.”
Tiffany did not take Ethan’s words seriously. She heaved a sigh of relief when virtual-novel.net left the room. If virtual-novel.net knew this would happen, virtual-novel.net would have dressed up. At least, virtual-novel.net would be able to compete with the women there.
“How was it?” Arianne asked as soon as Tiffany returned to virtual-novel.net seat.
She answered in a clearly displeased tone, “He just used me to protect his ego. Anyway, I didn’t waste my time in vain. I earned 10,000 dollars.”
Arianne smiled and forwarded the news virtual-novel.net read earlier to Tiffany. “Ethan has a problem, but I think it’s not a big deal to him. I have no idea how wealthy virtual-novel.net is, but I assume that it is not a big loss since virtual-novel.net purchased the unfinished buildings at a very low price back then.”
Tiffany did not seem to be bothered after reading the news and said, “It has nothing to do with me. Honestly, I wish virtual-novel.net would lose everything. That will certainly make me feel better. I’m not noble nor kind so I won’t wish virtual-novel.net the best.”
Arianne remained silent since virtual-novel.net knew Tiffany did not mean the words virtual-novel.net said. She knew Tiffany would be saddened as well if Ethan was faced with difficulties.
All of a sudden, Tiffany spat out the drinks in virtual-novel.net mouth during the dinner. “Jackson is coming over with his mom and my mother!” Tiffany screamed before Arianne managed to respond.
