Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 239

Helen was speechless upon being censured. Aery and Mark also got done with their conversation. The latter walked over with a long face and tugged Arianne to leave. Returning to the car, he said coldly, “Go back to the Tremont Estate.”

Brian did not understand how the current atmosphere became like this when they were so friendly while coming to the restaurant. He hummed an acknowledgement and didn't dare say more.

Arianne didn’t feel guilty so she asked directly, “What did Aery tell you? You look so gloomy as if it’s going to rain.”

Mark did not answer her question but slightly lowered his head as if he was musing. After some time, he spoke, “That day of the accident when you miscarried, what were you doing with Will in the car?”

Reluctant to recall the incident, Arianne was a little heavyhearted. “He wasn’t in a good mood that day because you acquired his company, so he called me out for a chat. Of course, he didn’t tell me that. We were just chatting. After that, he sent me back to the office. I was getting out of the car when Aery hit me. Why are you mentioning this? Do you want me to recall how you covered for Aery and let her driver become her scapegoat?”

“Tell me the truth. I only need you to answer my question.” Mark’s tone was stern.

“I told you, we were just chatting. What else do you want me to say?” Confused, Arianne fumed as well. Realizing that his sudden temper must be related to Aery, she asked, “What did Aery tell you? How am I supposed to know what you’re angry about if you don’t tell me?”

When Arianne realized that the atmosphere turned odd, she felt a little timorous. She had been too frustrated just now that she could not help lashing out. To cover for herself, she could only continue being aggressive. “You… Speak up, what do you even mean? Why did you cover for Aery? I can’t say anything to you about you helping the Kinseys since it’s your money, but why? And why at that time? I want an explanation… Don’t worry, whatever your answer is, I can accept it. I said that the past is the past, but I have the right to know!”

Looking at her serious front, Mark somehow began to think about the answer. In the end, he reached a conclusion. “Covering for Aery is to upset you. As for helping the Kinseys, it’s also to upset you and… for profit.”

Was there an answer in this world that was more honest than this? Arianne felt both timorous and furious. “Wow, then should I thank you for doing so and not because you like Aery? It’s just to upset me huh, should I be happy then? With profits involved too—killing two birds with one stone, beautiful!…”
