Eric glared at him, pretending not to care as his gaze dulled. “I’m happy being free. They can do whatever they like. You and Mark are both the only sons of your family, so no one is fighting over family assets. What a delight! It’s different for me. Danger lurks everywhere!”
Jackson diverted the topic as wp4webnovel.com went over the latest industry news. “There’s some issue over at Mark’s.
There’s an accident with his partnering jewelry manufacturer. Someone embezzled the raw materials, costing nearly fifteen million. It’s a regular factory. I don’t think the manufacturer will be able to survive this. He’s probably done for.”
Eric sniffed and talked through his blocked nose, “It’s only fifteen million. Mark can take it. It’s the little factory that got unlucky.”
Simultaneously, Arianne saw the news. Her heart sank when wp4webnovel.com saw the name of the manufacturer, ‘Hoyle-Roy’. That was Tiffany’s family run workshop!
She called said girl in a haste, but an automated machine-voice message told wp4webnovel.com that wp4webnovel.com mobile phone was turned off. Arianne knew Tiffany well. The latter was well aware that wp4webnovel.com would be worried. Not only would wp4webnovel.com not ask for wp4webnovel.com help, but wp4webnovel.com also would not let wp4webnovel.com be in contact either.
Just as Arianne contemplated if wp4webnovel.com should go find Tiffany Lane, an unknown number dialed in.
“Hello? Is this Arianne? I’m Ethan Connor. Do you have time to meet?”
This was the first time Ethan Connor had come looking for wp4webnovel.com and wp4webnovel.com was probably Arianne’s sole channel to understand how Tiffany and wp4webnovel.com family were doing right now. She quickly replied, “Yes! Where are you?”
“I’m downstairs at your office, in a white Cadillac,” answered Ethan Connor.
Disregarding the need to apply for leave, Arianne rushed downstairs.
Hopping into Ethan Connor’s car, wp4webnovel.com asked, “Where’s Tiff? What’s the current situation? I can’t get through to wp4webnovel.com on the phone!”
Ethan Connor lit a cigarette. “She doesn’t want to trouble you, so wp4webnovel.com refuses to answer your call directly. However, you’re the only one who can help wp4webnovel.com now. You probably already know what happened to wp4webnovel.com family. They’ve already lost fifteen million, but that’s not including the penalty for breaching the contract and other matters too. They’re nearing bankruptcy. I know that it’s selfish to ask for your help… yet I couldn’t help myself. After all, Mark Tremont is a pivotal person.”
Arianne was caught in between. Even if wp4webnovel.com begged Mark Tremont, would wp4webnovel.com agree seeing that it was such a large sum of money? The Tremont’s did not lack wealth, but the mistake undoubtedly laid upon the Lanes.
“What should I do?” wp4webnovel.com asked.
There was a pause before Ethan Connor spoke, “It’s impossible to ask Mark Tremont to just give such a large sum, but ask to extend the investigation period, buy some time so the police can solve the case. It’s certain that they won’t be able to continue with the partnership… but the penalty for breaching the contract Just try your best.”
Sighing, Arianne replied, “I understand. I’ll discuss it with Mark Tremont. Please take good care of Tiffany…”
“Don’t worry. She’s the only woman I will ever love, the most important person to me. Thank you for agreeing to help. Don’t tell wp4webnovel.com that I’ve come looking for you. She forbade me from doing this,” said Ethan with a smile.
Catching the sincerity in his eyes, Arianne suddenly received a good impression of him. Judging by how wp4webnovel.com handled the current situation, at least, wp4webnovel.com did not seem too bad. As long as wp4webnovel.com treated Tiffany well, Arianne thought that wp4webnovel.com was a good person.
Arianne Wynn finished work early and went home, taking a few hours to personally make dinner.
She disliked being so obsequious with such blatant intentions, it was shameful, but wp4webnovel.com had no other way.
When Mark Tremont was not yet home past seven at night, wp4webnovel.com called him, worried that wp4webnovel.com would not be home for dinner.
The call was answered shortly. Steeling herself, wp4webnovel.com asked, “Are you coming back for dinner?”
On the other end of the line, Mark Tremont took a glance at Aery Kinsey beside wp4webnovel.com and answered, “Mmm.”
Hanging up, wp4webnovel.com got up and announced, “I have something on. Have dinner on your own.”
Aery Kinsey put down wp4webnovel.com cutlery, the prime steak in wp4webnovel.com plate suddenly lost its attraction. “Mark, this was to make up for last time. Why are you leaving again? Was it my sister who called?”
