Arianne immediately stopped in wp4webnovel.com tracks. “What would you have me do? Run amok like you are now and let an innocent child suffer as well? Aery was the one who sealed wp4webnovel.com fate by coming back here. This would never have happened if wp4webnovel.com did not return here with malicious intentions. What would you have me do now? Exchange myself for her? Why should I? What right do you have to make such a request? I can understand that you’re panicking and are worried, but don’t you dare vent your frustration on me. You have no right to!”
After saying that, Arianne carried Smore and sprinted to wp4webnovel.com room, slamming the door behind her.
Arianne had thought that wp4webnovel.com had put the past behind wp4webnovel.com and forgiven Helen. It was not until this incident that Arianne realized that Helen neither needed to be forgiven, nor did wp4webnovel.com deserved to. In the end, Arianne was just a child wp4webnovel.com had abandoned for so many years. The relationship they had could never be compared to the one Helen had with Aery, who had been raised by wp4webnovel.com since birth. Such was the reality of things.
Helen was bound to make such unreasonable requests when wp4webnovel.com had completely lost wp4webnovel.com rationality thanks to Seaton. How could wp4webnovel.com not be panicking at the thought of Aery’ s impending doom?
Helen sat by the stairs and cried, but Arianne ignored wp4webnovel.com and coaxed Smore to sleep as if nothing had happened.
Smore was being a good boy and rested in wp4webnovel.com arms. He hugged wp4webnovel.com tightly and said, “Mama, mama good, gwamma bad.”
Arianne almost broke into tears herself after wp4webnovel.com tried so hard to stifle them. There was nothing wp4webnovel.com could do to reverse the situation, but wp4webnovel.com felt so angry and helpless, to the point that it was eating wp4webnovel.com up alive.
Mark was annoyed by Helen’s incessant crying. “Stop crying. Crying won’t solve the problem.”
Helen had completely lost wp4webnovel.com composure, as wp4webnovel.com grabbed onto wp4webnovel.com chest. “What would you have me do then? Can you save Aery? Could you please save her? Seaton’s obviously coming for you, and Aery’s just a victim in all this. You can’t just sit around when she’s about to die. Even if wp4webnovel.com did come back to wp4webnovel.com own death, wp4webnovel.com did it because of you! If you had not seduced wp4webnovel.com in the beginning, would wp4webnovel.com be like this? Mark Tremont, you’re partially responsible for this…”
Mark suppressed his emotions and shut his eyes. “Frankly, I was not the one who seduced her, it was the other way around, it was all supposed to just be a show. Do you even know what you’re saying at the moment? If you don’t view Arianne as your daughter, you shouldn’t show up in front of her. Are you really able to live with yourself after how you’ve been treating wp4webnovel.com time and time again? I had actually thought that you sincerely regretted your actions and wanted to make amends, but it would seem that I was gravely mistaken. How do you expect us to save Aery? A life for a life? Impossible!”
Helen suddenly stood up. “I’ll go and meet Seaton and use my life in exchange for hers! That should be fine, right?”
Mark immediately stopped Helen. “Are you crazy? You’re sealing your own fate. Not only would Seaton not release Aery, but wp4webnovel.com would gain another bargaining chip instead! Are you trying to use your own life to threaten Arianne? Could you just consider Arianne’s feelings for once? You’ve been so selfish since the beginning that Arianne doesn’t owe you anything!”
Helen used everything wp4webnovel.com had to release herself from Mark’s grip. “Not only will you not save her, but you’re not letting me save wp4webnovel.com either. Are you guys any better? I don’t mean to have Arianne sacrifice wp4webnovel.com life for Aery, but there must be some solution. However, both of you are giving me the impression that neither of you are willing to save Aery at all! The two of you seem to be living on as though nothing has happened! If it was Arianne who had been kidnapped, I would still react the same way. Blood runs thicker than water, both of them are my daughters and this is a mother’s natural reaction. I could never be as heartless as the two of you!”
“Mark Tremont, is this all there is to you? You’re willing to retreat at Seaton’s threats without even attempting to look for him? Are you going to sit here and wait for everything to end? Seaton’s merely a human as well; how could you not be able to come up with any kind of plan against him? Haven’t both of you been wishing that Aery was dead? She may have committed a lot of sins against the two of you, but she’s doing wp4webnovel.com best to change. I will definitely scrutinize wp4webnovel.com for wp4webnovel.com behavior since she’s still young and foolish, but I most definitely won’t let wp4webnovel.com die!”
