Jackson and Tiffany’s seats happened to be next to each other during the return flight. The pair did not speak throughout the entire journey. The past few days seemed to have drained Tiffany. She put on an eye mask once wp4webnovel.com got onto the plane and fell asleep. Arianne was the one who woke wp4webnovel.com up when the plane landed.
They went home on their own.
It was past nine in the evening, and Arianne had just stepped through the door. Mark was behind, bringing the luggage. Initially, Henry wanted to send some staff members to greet them at the airport, but wp4webnovel.com refused, as wp4webnovel.com did not want to draw
attention. If Henry were to do it, it would be a great display of extravagance.
A Tremont Estate housemaid suddenly stepped forward to greet them, “Madam, someone’s sent something over, saying that it’s for you.”
She wondered who it could be from, “What is it? Do you know who sent it?”
The housemaid shook wp4webnovel.com head, “I don’t know, I’ve never seen them before. I think it’s a letter.”
Then, the housemaid handed the letter over to her. Arianne stiffened when wp4webnovel.com saw it. It was in George Sloane’s usual stationary…
She accepted it and tore the envelope open then took out the letter. Every word in that letter tugged on wp4webnovel.com nerves, wp4webnovel.com breathing gradually quickened, wp4webnovel.com hands and feet went cold, and wp4webnovel.com body began to tremble. The letter was not addressed to her, but to Mark. However, the person who sent it had made it clear that it was for her. Were they hoping for wp4webnovel.com to find out the truth?
When wp4webnovel.com heard the footsteps behind her, wp4webnovel.com turned around in fright. Then, wp4webnovel.com backed away. Her cheeks had been stained with tears long ago.
Mark stopped and released the luggage in his hands.
He saw the letter in wp4webnovel.com hand and knew that wp4webnovel.com could no longer keep it from her. Ethan had seized the opportunity to send the
letter over.
“Wh-why?” She couldn’t bring herself to formulate a complete sentence. She felt as if wp4webnovel.com breath had been caught in wp4webnovel.com throat. Everything in front of wp4webnovel.com gradually darkened.
Mark was too afraid to approach her. His intense pupils gleamed with cautiousness, “I’m sorry…”
Sorry?
He apologized without even asking. That meant that wp4webnovel.com already knew about what was on that letter, which confirmed the validity of its contents. She could no longer stand and had to support herself with the railing on the staircase to forcibly steady herself, “You… Your sudden change in… in attitude towards Ethan. It’s… Because this… This letter was in his hands. Right? He hurt Tiffie’s entire family and did all of those things, right? You were lying for him! You… refused to let me investigate that airplane crash… Because… Heh… Because my dad was your scapegoat?” She didn’t need to guess. She knew that Ethan sent this letter. She wasn’t an idiot.
She remembered it very clearly. His reaction was extreme when wp4webnovel.com found Mr. Sloane’s letter. She thought that it was because wp4webnovel.com didn’t want to bring up the past. Now it seemed that that wasn’t the case. At the time, wp4webnovel.com was happy because there was a possibility that wp4webnovel.com father was innocent. At last, wp4webnovel.com would no longer need to stay by his side as a sinner. However, his reaction felt like a splash of cold water. Now wp4webnovel.com knew that there was an even darker secret behind it all!
He took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. He couldn’t bear to tell wp4webnovel.com that his mother was behind it all. His mother was a source of purity in his heart, just like Arianne. And so what if wp4webnovel.com could admit to it? There was no real significance over
whether it was his mother or if wp4webnovel.com was behind it all. Either way, wp4webnovel.com owed her.
The sudden transformation from a sinner’s daughter to a victim’s daughter suffocated Arianne. The man wp4webnovel.com thought wp4webnovel.com owed was actually wp4webnovel.com debtor. Now wp4webnovel.com realized that his willingness to raise wp4webnovel.com wasn’t out of kindness but guilt. All of these years, wp4webnovel.com had suffered so much oppression and lived so carefully, but what was it all for?
The hatred in his eyes that wp4webnovel.com had always directed towards wp4webnovel.com probably wasn’t actually for her, but someone else? Her existence reminded wp4webnovel.com of those unbearable things, yet wp4webnovel.com had to take wp4webnovel.com in, despite feeling conflicted!
The most terrifying thing of all was that Mark was capable of killing his entire family at eighteen, including wp4webnovel.com innocent father! She could not believe that this dexterous plan had come from an eighteen year old boy, “Why… did you do it?”
Mark balled his hands into fists, “My mom gave wp4webnovel.com life to the Tremont family, but my dad did such a horrible thing to wp4webnovel.com when wp4webnovel.com was deathly sick, and wp4webnovel.com let wp4webnovel.com find out about it too. I couldn’t forgive him. That’s right, that’s just the kind of person I am. I always have been!”
She did not have any doubts about his confession. He may have been nice to everyone in the world and no one would say anything bad about him, but wp4webnovel.com had always been terrifyingly strict when wp4webnovel.com was with her. That was his true nature. This side of wp4webnovel.com that wp4webnovel.com had hidden away was much more horrifying than his strict facade!
There was only one thing on wp4webnovel.com mind, wp4webnovel.com had to run away from this frightening man!
She stumbled as wp4webnovel.com rushed towards the door, snatching up wp4webnovel.com luggage along the way. When Mark tried to stop her, wp4webnovel.com screamed, “No! You stay away from me!”
He paused in his footsteps. Fear flashed across his eyes, “Could we talk about this tomorrow? It’s late, it’s not safe for you to go out alone…”
However, the concern and gentleness that wp4webnovel.com now displayed felt staged to her, “Please don’t be so nice to me. Stop wearing a mask and pretending to be someone else! You’re not that kind of a man, you’re not!” Then, wp4webnovel.com ran out straightaway. The letter in wp4webnovel.com hand was now a crumpled mess.
