Speaking up to this point, she stopped because she really didn’t want to talk about Helen.
Tiffany kept her mouth shut too. After all, they were both in depressing situations. Talking about it would just make them feel worse.
Then, a sudden thought hit her and she took out a letter from her bag. “Ari, this is for you. I don’t know why it was sent to my place. I’m surprised that there are still people writing letters in this day and age. Isn’t it more convenient to use a phone? Who is it? How did he know where I live or even that we know each other…?”
Arianne was very puzzled too. She opened the letter and stared at it. There were only a few lines of crooked handwriting on the letter. It took her a lot of effort to make out every word. As soon as she did, she felt blood rushing to the top of her head. She couldn’t even hear Tiffany calling her anymore.
“Ari? Ari? What does it say?” Tiffany’s curiosity was aroused as she urged Arianne to tell her.
Arianne snapped back to her senses then put the letter back into its envelope. She only managed to find her voice again after taking a few deep breaths. “It’s about my dad… I don’t know who wrote this letter; he didn’t explain his identity. But he did leave his name and the address on the envelope… The sender’s name is ‘Mr.Sloane’. In the letter, he claims that… the aviation accident back then had nothing to do with my dad. My dad was framed, and he was just one of the victims…” Her voice trembled toward the end.
Tiffany was quite shocked. “That’s… a long ago incident. Who exactly is the sender? He’s so secretive. Did he say anything else?”
