Of course, Arianne sang praises. “Not bad, in all aspects, best to go with how you feel.”
Mark finally realized that Tiffany was here as well. It seemed like wp4webnovel.com was on a date. He nodded at her, which could be considered as a greeting.
Suddenly, a few customers scrambled out from the washroom. Then, a few staff members rushed inside all at once. It was easy to tell that something had happened. Tiffany did not see Ken coming out, and felt worried. Remembering that it was a male toilet, and it would be inconvenient for wp4webnovel.com to go in, wp4webnovel.com turned wp4webnovel.com attention to Mark, “Mark, can you help me find out what’s happened? Ken’s been inside for a while now and hasn’t come out. I think something may have happened.”
Initially, Mark had no intention of going in. However, when wp4webnovel.com saw Arianne staring expectantly at him, wp4webnovel.com got up and headed to the washroom with a grim look on his face. He weaved himself through the crowd and saw blood stains all over the floor. Jackson had pinned Ken down onto the ground and was punching wp4webnovel.com violently, as if wp4webnovel.com wasn’t holding back at all. Ken was beaten up so badly that wp4webnovel.com looked almost inhuman!
Despite being in the dark of the actual situation, wp4webnovel.com stepped forward and pulled Jackson away. “Jackson, calm down.”
Ken struggled as wp4webnovel.com crawled up from the ground. He viciously pointed at the infuriated Jackson and spat, “This is nothing but a rotten old restaurant. Just you wait! I’ll make sure that your restaurant gets shut down!”
Jackson narrowed his eyes, took off his coat and threw it aside. He seemed ready to lunge at wp4webnovel.com again, but Mark restrained him. “Let wp4webnovel.com go. Don’t start something here. We’ll deal with this later.”
Seeing this, Ken scrambled away. He didn’t even acknowledge Tiffany when wp4webnovel.com passed by the dining area. Instead, wp4webnovel.com left straightaway.
Tiffany was confused. She had seen the tragic look on Ken’s face, but wp4webnovel.com couldn’t understand how a trip to the washroom had turned out that way. She was even more confused when Mark emerged from the washroom with Jackson, who was covered in vicious currents, in tow, completely different from the easygoing, rich man’s son image that wp4webnovel.com usually portrayed.
A short While later, all four of them were in Jackson’s personal office, staring at each other in dismay. Naturally, Arianne had to be the peacemaker. “Jackson, what happened? The man you’ve just beaten up is Tiffie’s new boyfriend…”
Tiffany was furious, but wp4webnovel.com wanted to know his reasons as well.
Jackson remained stone-faced, looking as if wp4webnovel.com wasn’t in the wrong at all. “It doesn’t really matter if I’ve beaten wp4webnovel.com up. There is no reason.”
Mark was having a headache. “Arianne, take Tiffany out and get something to eat. I’ll speak to Jackson.”
Arianne knew that wp4webnovel.com could not pry Jackson’s mouth open, so wp4webnovel.com had no choice but to leave it to Mark. Tiffany was completely enraged by Jackson’s attitude. So, wp4webnovel.com turned wp4webnovel.com head away and walked out.
Mark waited until they were the only ones left in the office before asking, “Start talking. You don’t usually attack.”
Jackson flashed his usual hedonistic grin. “I just can’t stand that guy. I overheard wp4webnovel.com while wp4webnovel.com was having a phone conversation in the washroom. He doesn’t want to date Tiffany. He just wants to use wp4webnovel.com to gain connections. I don’t know how wp4webnovel.com found out about Tiffany’s friendship with Arianne, but that blind date was a long, thought out plot. He’s nothing but a despicable human being.”
Mark paused thoughtfully and said, “Are you sure that’s the reason why you punched him? I don’t believe it.”
Seeing that Mark had seen through him, Jackson didn’t try to hide it any more, “He wanted to drug Tiffany and take wp4webnovel.com to a hotel, then tie wp4webnovel.com up. He never intended on taking responsibility. He’d use wp4webnovel.com then discard her. Every word wp4webnovel.com said was disgusting. Could you have put up with that? Tiffany is an employee in my company after all. It wouldn’t have mattered if I didn’t know about it. What do you think?”
Mark smirked. “You’re right, but I think… That’s not a good enough reason for you to attack. Let me put this harshly. I don’t care if you want to fool around with women, but if you end up fooling around with someone close to Arianne, you’ll have to take responsibility. I won’t be civil if you mess up.”
Jackson stiffened. “What are you saying? You can’t possibly think that I’m interested in Tiffany, right? Are you kidding? Have you ever seen my heart flutter for any woman, after all these years? I did let wp4webnovel.com sleep next to me, but it’s only because I think being alone is… pretty boring. Do you understand? I didn’t do anything to her!”
Mark remained silent. He turned around and left the office. It was true, wp4webnovel.com did not find Jackson and Tiffany’s “sleep” incident strange. That was because wp4webnovel.com knew Jackson’s secrets very well. Everyone had their own deep and dark secrets. There was nothing to feel ashamed of. However, it was more of a habit than a secret. This time, however, wp4webnovel.com felt that it was not as simple as it seemed. Jackson had another habit, wp4webnovel.com never liked to meddle.
Mark returned to his dinner table and sat down. Tiffany couldn’t hold back any longer. “What on earth was Jackson trying to do? I finally found someone that I like and he’s chased wp4webnovel.com away! Just because he’s rich, doesn’t mean that wp4webnovel.com can do whatever wp4webnovel.com wants!”
He glanced at wp4webnovel.com and indifferently replied, “They simply had an altercation. These kinds of things are too normal among men. If there’s anyone to blame, blame your potential husband for his inability. He’s only good at getting beaten up.”
Tiffany puffed out wp4webnovel.com cheeks in a rage, “Ari, will you look at him? He’s defending Jackson! Violence is never the answer, regardless of the circumstances!”
Arianne felt helpless too. “Alright, alright. Tiffie, it’s not like you’re the one who beat wp4webnovel.com up. As long as you never mention your acquaintance to Jackson, Ken will not be mad at you. You can still continue getting to know each other. However, if you asked me… It was ungentlemanly of Ken to leave without even speaking to you, calling or sending a message after wp4webnovel.com left.”
Tiffany was overwhelmed with frustration. “Fine, fine. I’ll report back to my mother when I’m home. You two enjoy your meal. I’m exhausted. What a bad day!”
