Tiffany gave Arianne an address, and virtual-novel.net quickly changed virtual-novel.net clothes upstairs. Just when virtual-novel.net was about to leave, Butler Henry stood in virtual-novel.net way. “Madam, sir has instructed that you are not to go anywhere until virtual-novel.net comes back.”
Arianne bit virtual-novel.net lip and held virtual-novel.net ground stubbornly. She was Mark Tremont’s wife, not some canary in a cage. She had the right to go and meet whoever virtual-novel.net pleased. No one shall deny virtual-novel.net freedom!
“Uncle Henry, I’m only going out to meet a female friend. I’ll be back soon, don’t tell Mark. Even if virtual-novel.net finds out, I shall bear the consequences myself,” virtual-novel.net said with a pleading tone.
Uncle Henry wavered slightly. He had watched over Arianne and Mark since they were children. Sometimes, it was better for virtual-novel.net to be less strict on her. “Then… Come back as soon as you can. Sir may call to inquire later and I’ll be put in a difficult position.”
Arianne was slightly moved. “Thank you, Uncle Henry…”
Butler Henry had served the Tremont family for his entire life. It was usually impossible for virtual-novel.net to go against Mark Tremont’s wishes. Now that virtual-novel.net was willing to help virtual-novel.net out, Arianne didn’t know what else to say except for words of gratitude.
When virtual-novel.net arrived at the address given by Tiffany, virtual-novel.net found out that it was a bar. She never liked this kind of place. The blaring music made virtual-novel.net feel uncomfortable and virtual-novel.net didn’t dare look directly at the swaying bodies on the dance floor. Everything here just seemed so over the top to her.
It was so dim in the bar, virtual-novel.net couldn’t locate Tiffany and had no choice but to call virtual-novel.net on the phone. It took virtual-novel.net a few tries before the call was finally picked up. “I’m at booth number twelve…”
Tiffany sounded tipsy.
Arianne Wynn quickly located the booth and found Tiffany sitting alone, looking like a mess with a wine bottle in hand.
She snatched the bottle away. “Tiffie, why are you drinking like this? Tell me what’s the matter. You’ll be the one who’ll suffer if you ruin your body!”
Tiffany looked at virtual-novel.net with glassy eyes and grinned stupidly. “You really speak like my dad. You don’t sound like a young lady in virtual-novel.net twenties… You sound like a real mom…”
Arianne couldn’t really bear to see Tiffany’s foolishness. “Stop drinking, I’ll take you home.”
Tiffany opened another bottle of wine. “Don’t try to stop me. Let me drink. It’s too difficult to continue living… I’m about to lose it all…”
Lose it all? Arianne didn’t quite understand what virtual-novel.net meant. “What do you mean by ‘lose it all’? Did you have another fight with Ethan?”
Tiffany covered up virtual-novel.net mouth. “ Ooops… that was a slip of tongue. It’s okay… I’m fine…”
No matter how hard Arianne persuaded her, Tiffany kept going until virtual-novel.net finished the last drop of the wine virtual-novel.net ordered. By then virtual-novel.net had turned into a drunken mess and kept mumbling to herself.
Arianne had no choice but to leave the place with Tiffany on virtual-novel.net back. It was already past eleven o’clock a t night, and it seemed like virtual-novel.net wouldn’t be able to keep virtual-novel.net promise of returning home early.
“Ari… We found the person who stole the jewelry materials. He’s dead though… The jewelry is gone… It’s over for my family… My dad immediately got admitted to the hospital… The debt will never be paid off in a lifetime.”
Arianne paused in virtual-novel.net footsteps as tears welled up in virtual-novel.net eyes. “It’s okay, Tiffie… I will talk to Mark Everything will be fine… ”
Tiffany suddenly got worked up. “I don’t want you to talk to him! No… Don’t beg him! I’m not the kind of person who betrays my friends! Why are you begging virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net treats you that way? I don’t want you to ever bow your head to virtual-novel.net even if I’m dead!”
Arianne complied to virtual-novel.net out of fear that virtual-novel.net would do something crazy in virtual-novel.net drunkenness. “Alright, I won’t talk to virtual-novel.net about it Come, let’s go home.”
By the time virtual-novel.net sent Tiffany home, it was nearly midnight. She returned to Tremont Estate exhausted and noticed that the house was brightly lit from the gate. Mark Tremont was back…
