Jackson promptly blocked Alejandro’s number. He went back to the bed, but he had lost the mood to continue. He was mostly exhausted, having not slept for the past two days. “Let’s get an early night. I’m a little tired…”He shut his eyes just as he spoke.Tiffany was a little disappointed. She wasn’t sure if he was angry or actually tired. He was clearly excited a while ago, but when he saw the message from Alejandro, he… She quickly ascertained that he was actually tired by carefully kicking him; he simply grabbed her delicate foot as usual and patted her butt too.The Tremont Estate.Arianne sat on the bed, holding her phone in deep thought. She couldn’t seem to figure out the tone in Jackson’s voice during their phone conversation. She turned to Mark, who was next to her, and asked, “Do you think they’ve made up? Jackson answered the call just now.”Mark snatched her phone away and placed it far, far away from her. “He’s answering calls for her, so of course, they’ve made up. Stop w
Mark couldn’t help smirking when he saw the look on her face. “We’ll be on our way then. Thank you, doctor.”Arianne’s heated face slowly reverted back to normal. The doctor didn’t even need to mention sex; she was well aware of it. Mentioning it out loud only made it more embarrassing…“Why were you blushing?” Mark asked, teasing her on purpose.She looked out the window, pretending as if nothing had happened. “I was not. The hospital was warm, so I was feeling hot from all these extra layers. What’s wrong with that?”Due to the tedious trip to the hospital in the middle of the night, Mark woke up later than usual the next morning. By the time he arrived at the office, it was almost 10AM. He had just stepped out of the elevator when his secretary, Davy, greeted him and said, “Mr. Tremont, Miss Cameran is here to see you.”Miss Cameran, who else could it be except Helen?Mark wasn’t surprised. This wasn’t the first time Helen had come to see him behind Arianne’s back. “Got it.”As he e
Aery paled. She knew Helen was telling the truth. In the past, Helen would get incredibly angry whenever she made a mistake. However, throughout the process of bailing her out of jail, Helen remained calm. Arianne was Helen’s daughter as well. However, Helen still abandoned Arianne previously. In short, Helen was a cold and cruel person. She began to feel frightened when she thought about all these things. She tentatively grabbed Helen’s sleeves and said, “Mom… I was wrong. I won’t do it again. I promise to listen to you from now on. Can you… Can you please plead with Mark darling to get dad out of jail as well? Dad is locked up because of me. Please, I’m begging you…”Helen no longer felt anything when she thought about Jean. “It’s not easy for me to save you, and you still want me to save your dad? Do you think I can do as I please? Do you think you can do as you please? I’m not so foolish as to bail your dad out of jail. It’s going to be even more annoying to have another parasite p
It was New Year’s Eve. Tiffany was slightly nervous. Usually, they had a holiday that lasted for three days. She was supposed to return to the West family’s residence with Jackson, but Jackson seemed quite determined about not going home for New Year’s Eve and Easter. When she got up early in the morning, she called Arianne, asking for help. “Dear, what should I do now? I want to return to the West family’s residence for New Year’s Eve. I want to go home and visit my mom as well, but Jackson pretended to be asleep. He doesn’t even want to wake up until now. I’m so stressed out. He’s still quarreling with his parents. It would be improper if I don’t visit them, but it would be awkward if I visit alone.”Arianne was out of ideas as well. “You can either support your husband or ignore the awkwardness and return to the West family’s residence alone. I’m running out of ideas as well. After all, things like this won’t happen to me. However, your call reminded me that I have to call my grand
Arianne was in the dining room downstairs, slightly hesitating as she looked for Helen’s number. She could not help the emotions that stirred in her when she heard Mark said Helen had asked about her. She felt family love when she was reunited with her grandma. Perhaps, that was the reason she was not as averse to Helen compared to before. In the end, she sent a message to Helen, wishing Helen a happy New Year’s Eve....Helen was in a great mood after she received Arianne’s message. After replying to Arianne’s message, she returned to what she was doing before. At this moment, she was helping Aery pack her things. Aery would be going abroad today. Everything had been arranged and dealt with.Before they left the house, Aery was still protesting. “Mom… Is it true that I’m not allowed to return home until I’ve graduated? Since I’ve agreed to leave, why won’t you allow me to meet Mark darling? Why don’t you visit Arianne? I’ll just look at Mark darling from afar. Is that okay?” Helen’s
Jackson felt helpless. “Hello?” Lynn’s voice sounded from the other end of the line. “Why aren’t you here yet?” That question was strange. Tiffany was confused. Did they plan to have a clandestine meeting? She harshly pinched Jackson’s arm.Jackson, who felt aggrieved, endured the pain. “Where? What are you talking about?” Lynn replied naturally, “The family residence. I came to visit Mr. and Mrs. West. I thought you’re coming home today. Why aren’t you here at this hour?” Jackson’s expression turned sour. “Why did you go there?”At this moment, Lynn chatted with Summer in the background. It seemed like they had quite a good relationship. When she returned to the phone, she said, “It’s been such a long time since I last visited. Mrs. West was quite nice to me previously. It’s only right that I visit her. Will you be coming home?”He said bluntly, “I’m not, and I won’t. I’m going to my mother-in-law’s house with Tiffie. I’ll hang up now if there’s nothing else.” Then, he hung up bef
When Jackson saw the drastic change in Tiffany’s expression, Jackson braced himself and said, “Lynn, step aside. I need to talk to you.” It gradually turned quiet on the other end of the line. Lynn seemed to have stepped aside. “What’s wrong? Why did you call me? Didn’t you say you’re not coming home?” He said coldly, “Don’t visit my home anymore, and don’t approach my parents. On top of that, don’t contact me anymore.”Lynn fell silent for about two seconds before she asked, “Why?”He bluntly said, “It’s because I don’t want to have anything to do with you. Moreover, I don’t want to make my fiancée unhappy as well. Is that reason enough for you? We’ve stopped contacting each other quite a while ago, what you’re doing now is completely unnecessary.” Suddenly, Lynn broke into laughter. “I’m not doing this because of you. I just feel Mrs. West is a nice person, and I want to spend time with her. Moreover, she has no problem with me and treats me like a daughter. If you don’t mind, I’l
Jackson tried to calm down. “That… I’ll explain things to my mom, and tell her not to have any contact with Lynn again. Don’t be angry. I didn’t expect this. I didn’t know she’s like this…”Tiffany scowled. “I’m truly impressed by her. She’s such a manipulative b*tch. I admit I can’t compete with her. What is she thinking? Shouldn’t she be trying to sow discord between us instead of turning my mother-in-law against me? Moreover, it’s not like I’ll be living with my mother-in-law. It doesn’t seem like a very good scheme. What kind of trick is she trying to pull? If you’re a true gentleman, go and explain it to your mom face-to-face tonight. If you let me suffer anymore, I’ll never forgive you!” Jackson was running out of ideas as well. He could only acquiesce to her wish. “Fine, I’ll go tonight. How about you? Are you coming with me?”She gritted her teeth. “I don’t want to! What if Lynn is still there? What if I can’t hold myself back when I meet her? You know my temper. I don’t want
