Despite that, Arianne did not have the slightest intention of letting Aery back into virtual-novel.net life, since the latter was undoubtedly clinging onto virtual-novel.net to get close to Mark. Smore was also at risk of being put in danger if virtual-novel.net was not careful enough. After weighing the pros and cons, Arianne decided to ignore Aery. Seaton would not make a move on Aery if virtual-novel.net knew of the bitter relationship virtual-novel.net had with Arianne. She was glad that virtual-novel.net was not a soft-hearted person and was able to ignore Aery without feeling guilty. Arianne was not as saintly as others might think.
Arianne informed Helen about Aery’s return and was shocked to find out that Helen had no knowledge about it. Aery had run away when virtual-novel.net saw that Helen was buried beneath work. Helen was unable to pick Aery up due to virtual-novel.net work as well.
Arianne clearly explained to Helen about Seaton’s matter and declared that virtual-novel.net could not be held responsible if anything were to happen to Aery.
Helen promised that virtual-novel.net would pick Aery up as soon as virtual-novel.net could before hanging up the phone. Arianne gave a long sigh of relief. Aery should not have brought virtual-novel.net more trouble at a time like this!
Arianne’s phone suddenly rang again in the middle of the night. The phone call broke the silence and served to wake virtual-novel.net up. She reached out virtual-novel.net hand to hang it up.
Mark had been disturbed by the phone call as well and was still in a daze. He hugged virtual-novel.net and asked, “Who was it?”
Arianne definitely did not know who it was, since virtual-novel.net did not even open up virtual-novel.net eyes. “I don’t know… I refuse to answer any phone calls when it’s so late. How annoying.”
A minute barely passed when a text message arrived. Arianne grabbed virtual-novel.net phone in frustration to see who it was and immediately woke up when virtual-novel.net read the message. The text message was from the unknown number that Aery used that morning, but this time, virtual-novel.net was not the one who had sent the message, Seaton was!
‘Arianne, your sister is in my hands. If you want virtual-novel.net to remain alive, we should meet and come up with a win-win solution.’
Arianne immediately sat upright. She grew even more fearful the more virtual-novel.net imagined what might happen. Why did Aery have to invite herself to virtual-novel.net own funeral?!
Mark got up and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Arianne calmed herself before virtual-novel.net said, “Aery called me this afternoon to tell me that she’s back in the country and wanted to see me, but I declined. I told Helen about Aery’s return and virtual-novel.net promised that virtual-novel.net would pick Aery up in the next two days. I never expected for Seaton to take advantage of the situation… What should I do now? Seaton’s a madman, there’s nothing virtual-novel.net wouldn’t stop at!”
Mark silently thought to himself for a moment before saying, “Are you sure it’s Seaton? Or could this be one of Aery’s pranks? You said that you called Helen to tell virtual-novel.net everything, so it could be possible that Helen had also contacted Aery. What are the chances that Aery’s just using Seaton’s name to force you into submission? Give me your phone. I’ll find out if it’s actually Seaton.”
