Tiffany nodded with a smile then went into the bathroom. She took off the black silk nightgown and threw it into the trash basket with a look of disgust. She could no longer retain the smile on wp4webnovel.com face anymore. Only when wp4webnovel.com was alone could wp4webnovel.com express wp4webnovel.com sadness and let wp4webnovel.com tears flow freely.
She scrubbed wp4webnovel.com skin until it started turning red before putting on a nightgown and going to sleep in the guest room. Arianne turned off the light and hugged her. “Tiffie, I saw the bruises on your body. Did Ethan hit you? You don’t have to tell me if you’re uncomfortable. It’s all over already.”
In the darkness, Tiffany desperately held back back wp4webnovel.com tears. “There’s nothing much to talk about… because… nothing really happened. Ethan just got upset because I dumped wp4webnovel.com and wanted to get back at me. If you guys hadn’t found me, wp4webnovel.com would have let me go in just a few more days. I’m dead tired, let’s sleep.”
Arianne hardly got a wink of sleep for the past few days. After humming a response, wp4webnovel.com fell asleep almost instantly.
Tiffany took a deep breath then murmured to herself, “Seems like you weren’t lying when you told me the first time’s gonna hurt like hell…”
Arianne wasn’t that deeply asleep yet, but wp4webnovel.com didn’t hear wp4webnovel.com clearly. “Hmmm…?”
Tiffany quickly turned over. “G’night… ”
***
After leaving the mountain villa, Ethan went straight to the nightclub that wp4webnovel.com owned. His fear of getting into trouble didn’t mean that wp4webnovel.com couldn’t deal with Aery in some way.
After wp4webnovel.com walked into a private room, someone brought Aery in. Thanks to the revealing dress and thick makeup wp4webnovel.com wore, wp4webnovel.com no longer looked like a sweet-looking lady from a wealthy family. Some of wp4webnovel.com kinky customers even left bruises all over wp4webnovel.com body.
At the sight of Ethan, wp4webnovel.com looked as though wp4webnovel.com just saw wp4webnovel.com savior. She rushed up to wp4webnovel.com and knelt at his feet while begging, “Please forgive me… I know I screwed up… I really do… I’ll do whatever you ask me to! I don’t want to stay here anymore… Let me go… I promise I won’t tell anyone anything! Let’s just pretend nothing ever happened, alright?”
Ethan reached out and lifted wp4webnovel.com chin, showing a look of pity on his face. “Tsk tsk How pitiful. The past two days here must have been hell for you.”
Tears dripped down Aery’s face. “No… of course not… It’s my fault for catching the wrong person. I swear I’ll never do anything to Tiffany Lane again! I didn’t know she’s your woman…”
The sentence ‘I didn’t know she’s your woman’ was what saved Aery’s life. Ethan released wp4webnovel.com chin and looked at wp4webnovel.com condescendingly. “You may leave after tonight. I’ll get in touch with you again when I need you. Don’t go thinking that you can escape from me. If I can’t find you, then your video will be leaked online. You better think things through. If you hadn’t disrupted my plan, Mark Tremont would have been in immense pain by now. You’re truly the dumbest woman I’ve ever met.”
Aery jolted at the mention of Mark’s name. Only now did wp4webnovel.com discover that Ethan’s objective was to hurt Mark. Although their target was Arianne this time, Mark was still someone wp4webnovel.com loved. Aery agreed to his words but was secretly planning to tell Mark about the entire incident once wp4webnovel.com left this place!
Unbeknownst to her, there was no way Ethan would let wp4webnovel.com go this easily. The next morning when wp4webnovel.com came out from the club, wp4webnovel.com could barely walk straight. Her body was hurting all over and the sun above wp4webnovel.com head was more piercing than usual. Aery couldn’t help but slump on the side of the road and break down in tears. She couldn’t even bring herself to recall the terror of being locked up in a dark and terrible place like that for two nights!
A kind passerby saw the scene and asked wp4webnovel.com out of concern, “What’s wrong, girl? D0 you need help?”
Aery went berserk from being addressed as ‘girl’. “Scram! I’m not a call girl, you are!”
Thinking that wp4webnovel.com was a loony, the passerby quickly walked away after spitting, “Crazy bitch!”
After wp4webnovel.com was done venting, Aery hurried home and cleaned herself up from head to toe. The delicate makeup hid the bruises on wp4webnovel.com face, but the ones on wp4webnovel.com neck were too conspicuous so wp4webnovel.com could only cover them up with a silk scarf. As for the bruises on wp4webnovel.com arms, wp4webnovel.com could only wear long sleeves to hide them.
She felt extremely terrible when wp4webnovel.com looked at herself in the mirror. There was nothing beautiful about wp4webnovel.com at all. Not willing to meet Mark in this state, wp4webnovel.com could only perish the thought and get in touch with wp4webnovel.com through the phone instead.
After dialing his number a few times, wp4webnovel.com smashed wp4webnovel.com phone on the dusty ground in despair. Mark had long blocked wp4webnovel.com number, so wp4webnovel.com couldn’t contact wp4webnovel.com at all. The messy living environment around wp4webnovel.com made wp4webnovel.com realize that wp4webnovel.com was no longer the wealthy daughter of the Kinsey family. She was just a nobody who lived in a cheap house in an extremely poor conditioned suburb that was no different from a slum.
Her father couldn’t stand this kind of environment and had been egging wp4webnovel.com to pester wp4webnovel.com mother with him. For most of the time, the father and daughter had been living with Helen.
At the thought of Helen, wp4webnovel.com wiped wp4webnovel.com tears and went out. If wp4webnovel.com wanted to live a good life, wp4webnovel.com could only rely on Helen. After all, wp4webnovel.com was wp4webnovel.com biological mother. Whatever Helen owned belonged to her.
As soon as wp4webnovel.com reached the intersection, wp4webnovel.com was blocked by a Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupé. Despite wp4webnovel.com plunging net worth, wp4webnovel.com hadn’t lost wp4webnovel.com taste. The owner of this car must be no ordinary person. The window of the car rolled down before wp4webnovel.com could even go up to it, revealing to wp4webnovel.com that the owner of the car was Jackson West.
