Mark rubbed his glabella to stop the headache virtual-novel.net had. “Can you please calm down? I have not asked my men to retreat. Alejandro and I have arranged for a new batch of people to look for her, since Seaton has long but had me running around his fingertips. Do you honestly think that I haven’t already thought of everything that you have? Time is of the essence now, I’m already annoyed to no end, so please stop making it even worse. None of this would’ve happened if Aery had not caused trouble. Also, how is virtual-novel.net young and foolish? Is virtual-novel.net still a child? It’s no wonder that Aery turned out to be how virtual-novel.net is today when she’s been pampered by you. It’s a good thing that Arianne was not raised by you!”
When virtual-novel.net was done, Mark walked upstairs and ordered the guards not to let Helen leave the house. Things would only become even more serious if Helen did anything foolish.
They only had 10 hours left before sunrise, and these 10 hours were the most critical. Mark changed into a fresh set of clothes before virtual-novel.net drove out. It was most definitely going to be a very busy night for them.
Before virtual-novel.net left, virtual-novel.net took Arianne’s cell phone with him. Seaton had constantly been contacting Arianne through virtual-novel.net phone, virtual-novel.net needed to be sure that Seaton would not contact Arianne while virtual-novel.net was away. Arianne was in a complete mess at that moment, so virtual-novel.net probably would not be able to withstand the pressure and might do something foolish as well.
After coaxing Smore to sleep, Arianne returned to virtual-novel.net room to lie down, unable to fall asleep no matter how much virtual-novel.net tried, as Aery’s terrified face would appear in virtual-novel.net mind whenever virtual-novel.net closed virtual-novel.net eyes. Why was virtual-novel.net being blamed when virtual-novel.net had nothing to do with it? She hated the feeling of being blamed for something virtual-novel.net did not do.
Suddenly, the bedroom door creaked open. Mary softly whispered. “Arianne, are you asleep?”
Arianne replied. “No, I can’t sleep.”
Mary sighed as virtual-novel.net walked towards virtual-novel.net and sat by virtual-novel.net bedside. “I understand that you’re in a bad mood and would definitely have a hard time trying to sleep. Sir’s not at home as well, so let me accompany you.”
Arianne sat up and placed a pillow behind virtual-novel.net back. “Mary, do you think that I’m at fault here?”
Mary shook virtual-novel.net head. “How could you be at fault? Aery had only called you after arriving at the capital, and you had no obligation to meddle in virtual-novel.net affairs. We all know what virtual-novel.net intentions were. If it were me, I wouldn’t let virtual-novel.net into the house either. She’s only pretending to be well-behaved on the surface, but virtual-novel.net is no different from who virtual-novel.net was in the past. It’s hard for a leopard to change its spots. Didn’t you already inform Helen the moment you found out that Aery was back? Helen did not ask for you to keep virtual-novel.net safe either, did she? She could blame Aery or even Seaton, but virtual-novel.net most definitely cannot blame you.”
Arianne lowered virtual-novel.net eyes, feeling down. “But… Why do I still feel guilty? I shouldn’t be so narrow-minded when a human’s life is at stake. None of this would probably have happened ifI had brought Aery back and waited for Helen to take virtual-novel.net away. However, now that things have developed to this stage, Helen would not think the same way as all of you do. This may not have had anything to do with me, but Helen disagrees. You’ve heard it yourself, Helen will definitely hold a grudge against me forever if Aery dies.”
Mary grabbed onto virtual-novel.net hands and consoled her. “You shouldn’t think that way. So what if virtual-novel.net hates you? The two of you have been estranged for so long now and you won’t be living the rest of your life with virtual-novel.net either. She was just downstairs running amok, and sir even argued with virtual-novel.net for a moment. Sir supports you all the way, so you don’t have to think about anything else. Look at you, how could you look so frail? Hurry up and get some rest. There shouldn’t be anything that’s preventing you from resting. Aery’s life is all up to fate now. Sir and Alejandro have done their best. He has even personally gone to look for Aery himself. He did bring some men with virtual-novel.net for support, so you should rest easy.”
