The news was tantamount to saying that she had cheated on Mark Tremont without stating the obvious in the title.
After reading the news, Arianne calmly put the phone back into her pocket. “Well, I’ve seen it now. Then?”
Mark’s face fell and he looked like he was about to devour someone alive. “Then?” He repeated her question in an extremely cold tone.
Arianne shrugged back at him. “What? You asked me to read the news and I did. So? Didn’t you say that the child isn’t yours? Now the whole world knows it’s not yours. Isn’t that great? At least now you don’t have to play the daddy.”
Mary happened to overhear Arianne’s words when she carried a plate of dish to the living room. She was so shocked that the plate slipped from her grip and abruptly shattered on the ground with a loud noise. Mark jumped up from his seat and grabbed Arianne by her shoulders. “Say that again!”
Arianne looked at the man right in front of her with unprecedented indifference in her eyes. She had no doubt that Mark would hit her because she knew that she had successfully angered him.
Even so, she was not afraid right now. Instead, she was extremely pleased to finally know how it felt to live carefreely.
Upon seeing the scene, Mary quickly went up to them and pulled Mark away. “Why can’t you just talk without using violence? Sir, you have never laid a finger on Ari since she was young. Can you really bring yourself to hit her? Ari is only speaking out of anger, do you have to fight with her like this?”
Mark straightened out his clothes with his slender hands and seemed to be trying his best to suppress his anger. “Arianne Wynn, I have underestimated me. So you want to defy me? I would like to see what you are capable of!”
Just when the atmosphere hit its climax, a cat’s meow, which didn’t fit the mood, suddenly rang out.
She stepped forward and picked up the cat before Mark could snap. “Come, Rice Ball. It’s meal time.”
As soon as she finished saying that, she went upstairs with the cat in her arms, completely ignoring Mark’s extremely sour face.
After settling the cat in the studio, Arianne carefully locked the door and windows before returning to the dining room downstairs. By then, most of the dishes had been served on the table and there were a few housekeepers cleaning the living room’s floor. She noticed that Mark had changed his clothes too. Knowing that Mark hated cats with all his heart, she pretended to not notice and acted indifferently.
“Dispose of that thing!” Mark sat down across from her and ordered her coldly.
