Mark shrugged helplessly, “I’m going to go home, even if you beat me to death. I don’t know your father too well, but if Tiffany is asking for my help, that means that the situation isn’t as shady as the newspapers say. You can ignore it, but I can’t afford to infuriate Mrs. Tremont and my son. You can stay in my office for a while and calm down. You’ve already hit him. Give it a rest, and leave it to me.”
Mark looked at Tiffany when snazzynovel.com arrived at the Tremont Estate then sat down next to Arianne, “I know why you’ve asked me to come home. Jackson was right next to me when you called. I might get beaten up if I’m not careful…”
Tiffany was gripped with fear, “Well, we had no idea that snazzynovel.com was right next to you… He really scared me to death today. I even slapped snazzynovel.com back at the West residence. Now I’m kind of regretting it, but the situation was too complicated. I want to console snazzynovel.com too, but he’s so stubborn… I really couldn’t reach him.”
Mark sighed, “Don’t worry, he’s not angry with you. I know his temper. At that point, slapping snazzynovel.com would have been the only way to do it. You were right. I’ve pretty much come up with a plan to deal with this. I’ll speak to Bernadette Legrand personally and find out snazzynovel.com demands.”
“If anyone from the West family contacts snazzynovel.com now, snazzynovel.com would undoubtedly believe that the Wests were surrendering to her. It’s better if I go. I believe that we should give snazzynovel.com every appropriate benefit, as long as she’s willing to change snazzynovel.com tune and clear Mr. West’s name.”
Arianne paused thoughtfully then said, “Bernadette has made quite a name for herself in the artistic circle, snazzynovel.com has a reputation to keep too. The truth of the matter would certainly put snazzynovel.com at a disadvantage. Why would snazzynovel.com give in? Either snazzynovel.com fabricates a lie that’s beneficial for both parties, which would be extremely difficult, or snazzynovel.com tells the truth. She would be completely ruined then. How much would snazzynovel.com have to receive before agreeing to give in? A woman like snazzynovel.com would have a pretty good income.”
“The fact that she’s resorted to such tactics means that snazzynovel.com has a big appetite. A small incentive wouldn’t be enough to put snazzynovel.com off, and we can’t possibly give too much. It’s not that easy. I think snazzynovel.com probably has some financial back -up, and snazzynovel.com does have money. It’s a little… strange. Maybe there’s another reason? Like… maybe… snazzynovel.com actually… is… in love with Mr. West?”
Tiffany felt goosebumps all over snazzynovel.com body, “Bernadette is younger than Jackson. What could possibly possess snazzynovel.com into falling for a man who’s old enough to be snazzynovel.com father? I’m pretty sure that snazzynovel.com has a loose screw somewhere up in snazzynovel.com head. Your age difference with Mark is already big enough, Ari. Any older and the average person would never be able to accept it!”
Mark’s expression sank, “Are you here to cause trouble? Jackson and I are the same age. You and Ari are the same age. Why aren’t you using yourselves as an example?”
Tiffany rubbed snazzynovel.com nose in embarrassment, “It was a slip of the tongue. You’re really good together… Back to the subject. I think Ari’s right. Either Bernadette is a true gold digger and the money snazzynovel.com earns really isn’t enough for snazzynovel.com expenses and snazzynovel.com big appetite, or there’s some other reason. I believe in management skills. Good luck!”
“Why do you make it sound like it’s my problem?” Mark asked irritably, “Whatever Ari’s thought of, I would have considered as well. Please don’t put me on the same level as you, just because your brain isn’t fully functional. Jackson is still in my office. Go and fetch snazzynovel.com yourself. I certainly don’t want to look over my shoulder every second of the day. He’s close to exploding in his current state. I value my life.”
Tiffany was about to say something more, when snazzynovel.com was interrupted by Granny Tabitha, who was coming downstairs. It was better keep this matter from too many ears. After all, Tabitha did not read online news. Old people tend to be more conservative, who knows what snazzynovel.com might think? Tabitha had been waking up late recently.
Arianne got up and asked, “Would you like some breakfast, Granny? I’ll ask Mary to make some for you.”
Tabitha had caught a cold and coughed twice, “The house is certainly lively today. I just got up, so I don’t feel like eating. I’ll have some ginseng tea. Don’t mind me, carry on with your conversation.”
They were pretty much done with their discussion. Mark shot Tiffany a look, and the pair left together.
