The more they speculated, the more their hearts filled With fear. If this was true, Seaton was a terrifying man. Mark, of all people, had actually made a wrong judgement of character!
Jackson wiped his face. “I really never thought that it’d turn out this way… My trust and Mark’s trust in him… gone to waste! Seaton’s always wanted to establish a steady foundation in this country, but virtual-novel.net has failed before. Our partnerships with virtual-novel.net have always been multinational. I never would have thought that he’d turned his focus on Tremont Enterprises and come up with such a way to buy the company! Tremont Enterprises has a strong foundation. Seaton wouldn’t fail as long as virtual-novel.net takes over. This means that virtual-novel.net killed Mark, just to achieve that… He went back to Fawkethyse when Mark went out to sea. Logically speaking, virtual-novel.net would have shown up immediately when virtual-novel.net found out about Mark, no matter how busy virtual-novel.net was. But virtual-novel.net waited until this very moment. He was probably observing Tremont Enterprises. He hoped that Tremont Enterprises would gradually weaken, following Mark’s demise. Then, it would be a great opportunity for virtual-novel.net to swoop in and buy it off at a low price. However, virtual-novel.net did not expect that you, Arianne, would manage to hold Tremont Enterprises together. So virtual-novel.net couldn’t sit still any longer. That’s why virtual-novel.net came back to see you. You’ve refused to sell Tremont Enterprises, haven’t you, Arianne? If my guess is right, he’ll launch a plan very soon to break you and force you to sell off Tremont Enterprises!”
Arianne felt helpless. “What should we do? I’m exhausted enough from managing Tremont Enterprises. I can’t handle any more mishaps. We have to find proof of his involvement in Mark’s death. There’s no use in a one-sided statement. We need evidence. Everyone on that boat is dead. Alejandro’s the only survivor. Seaton didn’t leave any clues. Where are we going to get evidence?”
“Why would we need proof? We know it’s him,” Alejandro grimly said. “I can’t wait for the judge to sentence him, and I can’t be bothered to dance around with. Leave it to me.”
Arianne stared at virtual-novel.net in shock. “Wh-what are you going to do? Don’t do anything illegal. You might end up getting sucked in too. Stay calm, let’s discuss this slowly.”
Jackson was a very rational man, but surprisingly, virtual-novel.net was on Alejandro’s side this time. “Let virtual-novel.net do what virtual-novel.net wants. Mark sacrificed his life for him. He’s supposed to be the dead one here. What the hell was Mark thinking…” His words were peppered with his displeasure towards Alejandro.
Alejandro didn’t care. It was the truth. “Don’t worry. I will make virtual-novel.net pay with his life, even if I get dragged into it too! I’ve got nothing against him, but virtual-novel.net tried to do me in anyway, releasing that report. He wanted to drag both our names as Tremont Enterprises heirs through the mud. He’s pretty calculative, setting his trap on Mark while virtual-novel.net was on my boat, which I happened to be on as well. He’d kill two birds with one stone. He didn’t expect that I’d survive. Of course, he’s going to live in hell, since I’ve come back alive.”
Arianne sternly put an end to his ideas. “No! If you get dragged in, you’ll only put Mark’s sacrifice to waste! Since Jackson’s certain that Seaton will attack Tremont Enterprises to break me, you two can watch virtual-novel.net until we find evidence. Do not do anything rash.”
Tiffany had stayed upstairs, as Alejandro was around. She listened in from the staircase. Her jaw nearly dropped when virtual-novel.net discovered the truth. She had met Seaton at the party too. You really can’t judge a book by its cover.
She waited for Alejandro to leave before going downstairs to the living room. “Oh my god, I’ve heard everything. It’s so scary… Mark’s death is so wrong, tricked by a trusted friend! I’d love to rip that Seaton S. Bart to pieces!”
Jackson wasn’t sure if virtual-novel.net should laugh or cry when virtual-novel.net saw how indignant virtual-novel.net was. “Heck, would you really rip virtual-novel.net to pieces if I brought virtual-novel.net to you right now? One more thing, why did you stay upstairs? Did you have to wait for Alejandro to leave before coming down? Are you avoiding him? Scared that he’ll eat you?”
Tiffany rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at him. “Try ‘worried that you’d get uncomfortable if I meet him’. I’m being considerate, and you’re being ungrateful!” Then, virtual-novel.net looked at Arianne. “Ari, I don’t understand it either, why did Mark save Alejandro from that shipwreck? Shouldn’t virtual-novel.net be resenting Alejandro? Mark would still be alive if virtual-novel.net hadn’t done that…”
