Mark didn’t respond. He remained standing in his spot for a while, then turned around and left.
Soon after, his car drove away from Tremont Estate. He was gone and probably wouldn’t be coming back tonight.
Arianne couldn’t sleep. She got up and gave Tiffany a call. “How did Mark find out about my loan to Will?”
Tiffany was shocked. “He knows? I didn’t say anything! I’ll turn into a dog if I’m lying! Well… Jackson is aware of this, but he’s only aware that I loaned Will the money. He also knows that Will’s company is in financial trouble. I didn’t say anything, you’ve gotta believe me. I don’t know how Mark found out about this!”
That explained it. If Jackson knew, Mark could easily piece everything else together.
“Forget it,” she replied weakly. “He knows. I’ll just have to face facts… He has just gone out. I’m pretty sure he’s not coming home tonight. He’ll probably ask Jackson to go drinking with him. Tell Jackson to keep an eye on him and don’t let him drink too much. It’s bad for him.”
On the other end of the call, Tiffany turned towards Jackson, who was standing in front of a window and answering a call. She lowered her voice. “You’re right, Jackson is answering a call right now. It must be from Mark. Hold on, bestie…”
After hanging up, Tiffany hopped off the bed and crept behind Jackson, who happened to have just finished his call. “What are you doing?” he asked skeptically.
