The more they speculated, the more their hearts filled with fear. If this was true, Seaton was a terrifying man. Mark, of all people, had actually made a wrong judgement of character!
Jackson wiped his face. “I really never thought that it’d turn out this way… My trust and Mark’s trust in him… gone to waste! Seaton’s always wanted to establish a steady foundation in this country, but he has failed before. Our partnerships with him have always been multinational. I never would have thought that he’d turned his focus on Tremont Enterprises and come up with such a way to buy the company! Tremont Enterprises has a strong foundation. Seaton wouldn’t fail as long as he takes over. This means that he killed Mark, just to achieve that… He went back to Fawkethyse when Mark went out to sea. Logically speaking, he would have shown up immediately when he found out about Mark, no matter how busy he was. But he waited until this very moment. He was probably observing Tremont Enterprises. He hoped that Tremont Enterprises would gradually weaken, following Mark’s demise. Then, it would be a great opportunity for him to swoop in and buy it off at a low price. However, he did not expect that you, Arianne, would manage to hold Tremont Enterprises together. So he couldn’t sit still any longer. That’s why he came back to see you. You’ve refused to sell Tremont Enterprises, haven’t you, Arianne? If my guess is right, he’ll launch a plan very soon to break you and force you to sell off Tremont Enterprises!”
Arianne felt helpless. “What should we do? I’m exhausted enough from managing Tremont Enterprises. I can’t handle any more mishaps. We have to find proof of his involvement in Mark’s death. There’s no use in a one-sided statement. We need evidence. Everyone on that boat is dead. Alejandro’s the only survivor. Seaton didn’t leave any clues. Where are we going to get evidence?”
“Why would we need proof? We know it’s him,” Alejandro grimly said. “I can’t wait for the judge to sentence him, and I can’t be bothered to dance around with. Leave it to me.”
Arianne stared at him in shock. “Wh-what are you going to do? Don’t do anything illegal. You might end up getting sucked in too. Stay calm, let’s discuss this slowly.”
Jackson was a very rational man, but surprisingly, he was on Alejandro’s side this time. “Let him do what he wants. Mark sacrificed his life for him. He’s supposed to be the dead one here. What the hell was Mark thinking…” His words were peppered with his displeasure towards Alejandro.
