Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 473

Tiffany promptly shut her mouth while shooting Naya a look at the same time. Naya understood her subtle gesture and went back to work.

When they arrived home that night, Arianne stared at the piece of paper for hours on end. Tiffany munched on the food that Jackson had delivered and grumbled, “Come on. Use it if you want, throw it away if you don't. I'll support your decision either way. Stop staring at it already. It’s going to possess you.”

Arianne put the piece of paper away, “Eat your food. I think Jackson must be raising a pig, and by that, I mean you. You fat pig. If you keep eating supper every day like this, you’re going to gain weight. You’ll blow up like a balloon!”

Tiffany, on the other hand, was very optimistic, “Why should I be scared? I’ll never find a good man to marry anyway. I’m much more comfortably living life on my own. I can do whatever I want. Life is short, carpe diem. You shouldn’t mistreat your appetite and stomach. Besides, you can’t have anything to eat when you’re dead.”

That did not sound like Tiffany at all. They were both women, and Tiffany used to be afraid of getting fat and hated being called fat too. After a bout of hesitation, Arianne asked, “Tiffie, be honest, did anything happen while you were kidnapped? I know you, and you’ve changed a lot since then.”

The relaxed expression on Tiffany’s face promptly disappeared. Her hand tightened its grip around her cutleries, “N-nothing… I just suffered a little thanks to Aery. Nothing else. Why would you bring that up?”

Arianne was overjoyed when Jackson found Tiffany. Nevertheless, she hadn’t had a good rest and was in a bad state, so she didn’t manage to get a closer look at how the wounds on Tiffany’s body were caused. However, after some careful thought, she realized that something wasn’t right. If the wounds came from a beating by Aery’s cronies, there would have been large patches of red swelling and black bruises. However, there were obvious small red marks on Tiffany’s neck at the time. Those didn’t look like they came from a beating but more like…

It was difficult to talk about these kinds of things, and Arianne could understand if Tiffany wasn’t willing to talk about it. However, if it really did happen, she shouldn’t be keeping it all inside. She had to at least talk about it, “Tiffie, I know that you don’t want to be reminded about it, but it’s been a while since then. Haven’t you thought of getting justice for yourself? It’s your reputation as a woman.”

Tiffany lifted her head and looked at her, then replied to her in a joking manner, “What are you talking about? Isn’t that a little perverse?”

Arianne felt slightly awkward, “No… I just want to know if Ethan did anything to you… He did lock you up for two days…”

The next day, the pair went to the shop early in the morning as usual. To their complete surprise, someone had painted their storefront with a slew of abuses. The paint was already dry, which meant that it was probably done last night after they closed the shop. The red paint stuck firmly onto the glass door, and it wouldn’t be easy to clean it off. They had to slowly scrape it all off!

Tiffany was in shock, “What the hell? Who’d have the gall? We haven’t offended anyone! If I find out who it is, I’ll paint their face red!”

Arianne was more rational. The issue at hand wasn’t to find the culprit’s identity, but to clean all of these words off from the door before traffic increased. Otherwise, it’d certainly affect their business if anyone saw this. Luckily, she’d needed to come in early to make preparations for the day, so they arrived earlier than usual. There weren’t a lot of people along the streets at the moment, so they still had time.

“Quick, get some tools! We have to clean this off before people start coming in. We can find out who did this later!”

Tiffany hunted for some tools while swearing underneath her breath. They used a trowel, a cloth and all sorts of cleaning agents, but to no avail. It didn’t help much. They had to use a trowel and slowly scraped everything off. This really tested their patience. The words covered a pretty large surface area, and they had to slowly scrape them off. This couldn’t be accomplished in a short amount of time.
