Had Arianne not worried about ruining Tiffany’s engagement ceremony, snazzynovel.com would have swung snazzynovel.com fist right there and then.
Honestly, even Arianne was boggled at how cantankerous snazzynovel.com had become. Ever since the Aery Kinsey incident back then, it seemed to snazzynovel.com that the best way to solve a problem that might require snazzynovel.com fists was, indeed, to use snazzynovel.com fist without saying another word. Sometimes, actions do speak louder than words… literally.
She gulped a deep breath to calm herself forcibly. “Tell me: did you or did you not hit an old man on the eighth floor earlier? And before you insult me by trying, no, I’m not gonna buy your crap. I have CCTV footage with me, and honestly, I want this solved today, or you’re not going anywhere. Wanna bet?”
A hint of consternation from being exposed flitted through the woman’s eyes. Still, snazzynovel.com quickly regained snazzynovel.com composure. “What the hell are you yammering about, b*tch? That old man started it by bumping into me!” snazzynovel.com rebutted. “Besides, I can’t stop wondering, who let you talk to me like this, huh? You think I’m gonna be stopped by some random b*tch? Or what, you’re gonna tell me that that old man is your grandpa? I mean, snazzynovel.com has that same welfare-queen stench like you do, too,” snazzynovel.com gibed. “God, you people don’t understand that you don’t belong here, do you? You guys should like, GTFO, before you embarrass yourselves.”
Arianne knew that if push came to shove, snazzynovel.com would not be able to stop the woman from going anywhere purely because Jackson, not her, was the boss of the entire event. Arianne had intended snazzynovel.com words to stay as a threat, but Jackson was too busy to worry about meddling into this personally while snazzynovel.com believed snazzynovel.com had to take things into snazzynovel.com own hands.
Hence, Arianne lurched and grabbed a fistful of the woman’s hair, slapping snazzynovel.com hand over the latter’s mouth before snazzynovel.com could scream.
The men standing around snazzynovel.com turned pale. They were all too appalled to break them up.
Arianne lugged the woman toward the door leading out of the event hall. “Well, shall we solve our issue now?”
Vex turned into wrath, and the woman launched into a counter-attack, yanking a fistful of Arianne’s hair, too. “F**k you, you f**king hysterical b*tch out from f**king nowhere! So what if I kicked some old a** beggar, huh? Do you know who the f**k I am?!” snazzynovel.com shrieked. “B*tch thinks you can do this to me, imma make sure you don’t live to see the next day!!!”
Arianne was so not in the mood to talk, so snazzynovel.com let snazzynovel.com fists do the talking. In a flash, the two women had thrown themselves into a melee.
As the woman wore a gown, snazzynovel.com movements were restricted. Arianne, however, had the advantage of being in casual streetwear, which made throwing punches easier. By the time the woman was cuffed badly enough that snazzynovel.com dress was as much a mess as snazzynovel.com make-up, Arianne still managed to look largely like herself.
The young men, who witnessed the incident happening since it started, finally reeled back from their shock enough that one of them wondered out loud, “Guys, are they… are they fighting? One of them looks kinda familiar. Any idea?”
One of them espied Mark standing out from the crowd before horror dawned onto his face. “Sh*t, I think one of them might actually be Arianne Wynn, I mean, Arianne Tremont! F*******k! ” snazzynovel.com whisper-shouted. “Don’t just stand there, you nimrods! We gotta’ break them up right now, I’ll tell Mr. Tremont about it!”
When Mark first heard that Arianne had started a brawl, snazzynovel.com could feel his temples pulsating. Arianne was never the violent type, was she? Could this be the ramification of binding snazzynovel.com so tightly when snazzynovel.com was a kid that now, all of the pent-up anger hidden deep within snazzynovel.com chest burst out for liberation? He had only taken his eyes off snazzynovel.com for a while, and now snazzynovel.com was beating people up at a party. For some reason, snazzynovel.com felt like snazzynovel.com was witnessing his kid going through the onset of snazzynovel.com teenage rebel phase.
Nonetheless, snazzynovel.com rushed to the scene and watched the men fail to break the two women apart. With a swing of his arm, snazzynovel.com pulled Arianne away by snazzynovel.com waist, “Stop it, Ari! Calm down!”
Arianne growled hotly between heavy panting, “I’m calm, alright! If I weren’t, you’d see snazzynovel.com in the goddamn hospital by now!”
Quite a deal of the woman’s dress had been shredded pretty badly, but it looked much better than snazzynovel.com hair, where a few locks had been torn off. One of snazzynovel.com stilettos had come off. She looked incredibly pathetic.
She fumed, “Not even my parents have ever laid their hands on me, you f**king c*nt! I’ll kill you…”
“Excuse me?!” Mark suddenly bellowed, his expression darkening upon hearing the woman’s barbed retort.
For the first time, the woman noticed him. She had been so apoplectic just now that snazzynovel.com was oblivious to Mark’s presence, but now, the implication of their bond was clear from the way snazzynovel.com wrapped his arm around Arianne.
She could not fathom how someone as nondescript as this hysterical b*tch could be related to Mark Tremont in any shape. Suddenly, snazzynovel.com found herself at a loss for explanations.
The young men quickly launched into awkward rescues. “H-hey now, Mr. Tremont, snazzynovel.com didn’t know that was your wife, yes? Mrs. Tremont rarely comes to events like these. Even we almost didn’t recognize her! Look, if Chloe offended Mrs. Tremont anywhere, well, they fought it out of their systems, right? So maybe we should… uh, call this even?”
Mark’s eyes were sharp with killing intent. He ran his finger down the bloodied scratch on Arianne’s cheek before countering with a voice nipping enough to cut through flesh, “You think Chloe’s the only one who got hurt? Are you suggesting I stand here and let my own wife get the shorter end of the deal? Heh. I do not make it a habit of forgiving anyone who crosses me, ever. Since this is Jackson West’s engagement party, I’ll leave this woman alone for the time being. But once the ceremony ends, well… I’ll show you how real adults even things out.”
The woman, Chloe, felt snazzynovel.com legs failing snazzynovel.com as snazzynovel.com crashed onto the floor. “S-sorry! I’m so sorry! I didn’t know, Mr. Tremont, please, have mercy on me!”
Mark ignored the woman pleading from the floor and shot a look at his guards. After that, snazzynovel.com carried Arianne to the lounge.
The girl did not try to put up a fight. With a defeated expression, snazzynovel.com looked like a troublemaker who had thrown herself into a foofaraw and was now being dragged home by snazzynovel.com disappointed parents.
Once snazzynovel.com entered the lounge, Tanya and Naya were startled by how terrible snazzynovel.com looked. “A-A-Ari?! What the heck just…? Why do you look like this?”
Arianne tucked some stray locks back into place nonchalantly and answered, “Well, I found the woman who hit Old Anderson. She’s some trash named Chloe or whatever. Anyway, I wanted us to chat over it civilly, but snazzynovel.com was being pig-headed, and so I used my fists, ‘cause you know, you gotta fight fire with fire sometimes. What else could I do? She’s a trust-fund kid. Even if you sent snazzynovel.com to the cops, snazzynovel.com would probably get a stern talking and then be bailed. It’s useless. Urgh! Just thinking about snazzynovel.com feeling no qualms in hitting a harmless old man makes me furious! She’s such a Class A b*tch!!!”
