Thinking up to this point, she went to the end of the corridor and called Ethan. The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up. Ethan answered indifferently. “What’s up?”
Tiffany didn’t really care about his attitude anymore. She could accept someone who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. “Thank you.”
Ethan was glued to his computer screen and didn’t really pay any attention to her words. “For what?”
Her lips curled into a smile. “Stop pretending. It was you who donated money to my dad, right? Why did you choose to remain anonymous? I’m sorry for making you feel lonely lately. There’s just so much going on with my family now. Don’t be mad at me. I’ll find you when I’m free.”
Ethan frowned. He wanted to deny it but didn’t say the words that reached his lips. His attention was on his computer, and he didn’t feel like explaining himself. “I’m busy, I’ll hang up now.”

It was after midnight by the time Mark returned to Tremont Estate, and Arianne was already asleep. However, she was suddenly woken up by the sound of his car downstairs.
She had always been a light sleeper. Any sound could easily wake her up.
Soon after that, the bedroom door was pushed open.
She didn’t say anything. The voices she heard in the hotel room back then were still reverberating in her mind. She wasn’t even sure why she was bothered by something like that...
Mark went directly into the bathroom after he entered the room. He took a shower and left the room.
Arianne barely slept for the rest of the night. She kept her eyes open until daybreak. The next morning when she was eating breakfast downstairs, Mark came out of his study room upstairs and went out. There was no communication between the both of them.
