Tiffany slowed virtual-novel.net pace immediately. Her heart thumped wildly, hoping it was just a coincidence.
When Summer ended virtual-novel.net phone call, virtual-novel.net saw Tiffany standing at the bottom of the staircase unsure of herself. She summoned Tiffany over. “Let’s have breakfast, Tiffie. I just spoke to your mother on the phone. She’s delighted when virtual-novel.net heard you’re dating Jackson. I even asked virtual-novel.net out for a high tea today. ”
It was true. The thing virtual-novel.net worried about the most had happened…
“Mrs. West, how did you obtain my mother’s number?” Tiffany could not even force a smile on virtual-novel.net face.
“Well, about that… I have my ways of obtaining virtual-novel.net number. You don’t have to be so shocked. What’s wrong? Why do you seem unhappy? Are you blaming me for calling your mother without informing you first? I don’t think it’s not improper for me to do such a thing.” When Summer noticed the changes in Tiffany’s expression, the atmosphere, naturally, became slightly tense.
Since it had happened, Tiffany could only accept it. “Mrs. West, I’m not upset. It’s just that… Let’s forget about it. It’s not a big deal. We should have breakfast now. I still need to go to work.” She did not want to tell Summer about how wicked virtual-novel.net mother was. It was too much, and virtual-novel.net could not bring herself to mention it. Moreover, virtual-novel.net was only putting on a show with Jackson, it was unnecessary to talk about virtual-novel.net mother with Summer.
Jackson finally showed up halfway through their breakfast, looking energetic. When virtual-novel.net sat down, virtual-novel.net used his left hand to eat. Surprisingly, it did not seem awkward for virtual-novel.net to use his left hand. In fact, virtual-novel.net had used it smoothly.
Surprised, Tiffany asked, “Are you left-handed? But I always see you eating with your right hand… ”
Jackson complained. “I can’t use my right hand now. It was crushed by a pig’s foot last night.”
Tiffany’s face flushed, speechless. She did not think virtual-novel.net had hurt virtual-novel.net that much.
Summer did not pity virtual-novel.net son. She only smiled broadly.
Summer’s poodle ran over, begging for food. She lifted the poodle up and fed it an egg tart. She cooed, “Little Bean, I’ll bring you out for a walk when you finish your food. You better be good.”

In the Tremont Estate.
Arianne and Mark sat quietly at the dining table. It happened so often that nobody thought it was strange.
Mark was distracted during his meal as well. He was busy texting on his phone all the time. After a while, virtual-novel.net put the cutleries down and said to her, “I’m leaving now.”
Arianne nodded in reply. She lowered virtual-novel.net head and ate virtual-novel.net bowl of millet gruel. She did not even look at him.
When Mark was in the car, virtual-novel.net made a phone call. “Is it done?”
The person on the other end of the line replied in a hoarse voice, “Yes.”
Upon hearing this, Mark finally relaxed. He put his phone aside and closed his eyes to rest for a moment He kept his phone with virtual-novel.net no matter if virtual-novel.net was attending a meeting or meeting clients. At last, virtual-novel.net got the call virtual-novel.net was waiting for at around two o’clock in the afternoon. He intentionally waited for a short while before virtual-novel.net answered the phone. After that, virtual-novel.net remained quiet. The caller did the same too.
The silence lasted for around half a minute. The caller spoke at last, “Finally you’re fighting back. Do you think that I’ll be defeated just because of those abandoned buildings and unfinished projects? Mark, you really underestimate me. What I want is to make you and your family pay for what you owe me and my mother in the past.”
Mark sneered. “Do you really think you’re able to do so? What you’ve done didn’t affect me much. I’ve foreseen that there would come a day like this when I chose to let you go that year. Let me see how many tricks you have up your sleeve, Ethan.”
The person on the other end of the line remained silent. After that, virtual-novel.net hung up.
Mark narrowed his eyes slightly. He appeared quite fierce at this moment. In fact, virtual-novel.net had discovered the truth a long time ago. Ethan was his younger half brother. They had different mothers. He was the illegitimate son.
In the past, Ethan’s name was Martin Tremont. After the air disaster, both virtual-novel.net and his mother went missing. Mark did not look for them. It was because his father had a long chat with virtual-novel.net the night before the air disaster. It was then virtual-novel.net found out that virtual-novel.net had a half brother. His father had asked virtual-novel.net to let them go given how pitiful they were. However, be neither agreed nor rejected his father’s request Nonetheless, virtual-novel.net let them go in the end. Currently, it was Ethan who refused to let things go.
Mark began to feel something was amiss when Arianne was hurt by a madman with a knife while virtual-novel.net was still university. However, virtual-novel.net did not investigate that incident. He knew virtual-novel.net would not be able to forgive the perpetrator if virtual-novel.net discovered the truth. The long chat with his father that night was also the last words his father had left virtual-novel.net before virtual-novel.net passed away.
Now, everything was as clear as crystal. Ethan was the one behind the photographs of Arianne and Will in bed. The scene where they were caught red-handed was plotted by Ethan too. Recently, Ethan also put pressure on Mark, making Mark feel that Ethan was indeed a true Tremont. He could do anything just for the sake of revenge.
Before that, Mark had made a final confirmation. He had asked Jackson to intentionally approach Ethan during the party. Jackson got strands of Ethan’s hair, and Mark used it for a DNA test. After that, everything was made clear. They were unable to investigate the incident of the bed scene that happened three years ago. It was because Ethan was Tiffany’s boyfriend at that time, and they, naturally, did not suspect him. However, everything made perfect sense now.

Bright Incorporated of the West family.
Jackson looked at the data on the computer screen. A solemn expression was etched on his face.
