“Jackson…?” Aery was a little stunned. At the same time, she was also wondering about the purpose of his sudden visit. Apart from Mark, Jackson was also a very attractive man. After all, no one would dislike a rich and handsome man.
The man emotionlessly gestured for her to get into the car. Overjoyed, Aery opened the car door on the passenger side and got in. “Long time no see, Jackson! What’s up?”
Jackson was a man who would never lay a finger on the women of his close friends. He had only been polite to Aery in the past for Mark’s sake. The reason for his sudden visit was to find out everything that had happened to Tiffany from Aery. “Tell me everything that transpired after Ethan came looking for you.”
A look of disappointment washed over her face when she realized that Jackson was no longer the guy who allowed her to act like a baby around him. He had chosen to side with Arianne and Tiffany. She should have known that the moment Mark dumped her, she was already kicked out of their circle.
“What if I don’t want to tell you?” Aery changed her attitude and tone. Why were Arianne and Tiffany always at the center of attention while she had to lose everything?
Jackson pressed a button and locked the doors. “You don’t want to tell me? Then let’s have a good chat. I have photos of you entertaining some guests at the nightclub. Don’t you think others will be interested to see the once glorious Miss Kinsey being reduced to an escort at a nightclub?”
Aery gritted her teeth and complied, “Yes, I was jealous of Arianne. Mark dear dumped me for her. If it weren’t for her, Mark wouldn’t have withdrawn his funding, which caused my family to declare bankruptcy. Not only that, my mom even gave her all the assets she received from her divorce. I’ve always wanted to get back at her but never got the chance. I had no one and no money when Ethan approached me. He offered me both money and the chance to exact my revenge.
“I was given a photo of Arianne, then told to hire some people to kidnap her and take a video of her being raped. I didn’t know the intentions behind his action, but we shared a common purpose. I only found out later that he wanted to get back at Mark dear. If I had known that earlier, I wouldn’t have accepted his request.
“The men I hired caught Tiffany by mistake because she was unlucky to be wearing Arianne’s clothes. It so happened that Tiffany had also offended me before. By the time I arrived at the scene, she had been raped. I quickly called Ethan and he told me not to lay a finger on Tiffany when he found out about the mistake. But mistakes had been made, so I was forced to entertain guests at the nightclub. I didn’t even know Tiffany was his woman. From the beginning to the end, I didn’t gain any benefits from all of this. That’s all I know.”
Jean was furious. “Your mom is heartless! She tricked me into going out and buying things for her, then locked me out and threw all our stuff out here! While I was out to freeload off of the air conditioning, she even asked someone to change the door lock. The key in your hand won’t work anymore! I’ve been out here all night!”
Aery took one hit after another. At this very moment, she directed all her hatred on Helen. She took off her high heels and desperately knocked on the door, “Helen Cameran, I’m your daughter! How can you do this to me? If you won’t let me in, I’ll go find Arianne! If I’m going to die, I’ll make sure she goes down with me!”
Helen listened to Aery’s death threats while she paced around in the living room irritably. If she let the father and daughter in, they would leech every drop of her blood and take her kindness for granted. If she didn’t let them in, she was worried that Aery would really find Arianne. She had been keeping an eye on Arianne and knew that she had left the Tremont Estate. As for the reason behind her departure, she was still looking into it. Things would be bad if Aery went to find trouble with her now.
After a while, she finally caved in and opened the front door. Both Aery and Jean immediately rushed in. “If you dare to drive us out again, I’ll take it all out on Arianne! I can finally tell now—you have no one in your heart but that b*tch!” Aery yelled at her.
