Upon noticing that the situation wasn’t quite right, the front desk hurriedly called up Mark’s secretary. “Ellie, Mrs. Tremont is here looking for Mr. Tremont. I think she looks quite aggressive… She has someone with her too. I’ve never seen him before but he appears to be her butler or something…”
The secretary acknowledged the information then hung up the phone. She got up and knocked on Mark’s office door. “Mr. Tremont, your wife is here.”
She could hear Mark humming coldly in response from his office.
The elevator very quickly arrived on the forty-sixth floor. Ellie Amore, who was already waiting by the elevator door, instantly wore a professional smile on her face at the sight of Arianne. “Mrs. Tremont, Mr. Tremont is in his office.”
Arianne’s eyes were drawn to the fluffy slippers on Ellie’s feet that didn’t match the office attire she was wearing. She then remembered that Mark didn’t like being distracted by noises when he was working. Hence, they needed to be absolutely quiet on this floor. The last time Arianne was here, she had to go barefoot.
However, this time, she just pushed open the office door and went in without taking her shoes off. “Mark Tremont. Have you investigated the car accident thoroughly? Why did you decide to settle the matter privately without asking my opinion?”
Mark didn’t look away from his document. “Your decision isn’t necessary in this matter. Likewise, you didn’t give me the right to decide on the child’s matter either. Oh… and not only that, you didn’t even give me the right to know about it.”
Arianne clenched her hands into fists. “Okay, putting these aside first, what if I told you it was Aery Kinsey who hit me? In that situation, it was obviously done intentionally. There’s no way it could be an accident!”
Mark paused briefly while flipping through the document but quickly resumed again. “The perpetrator has been determined and the case has been closed. There’s no point in bringing it up again now, you get what I mean?”
Arianne froze and even stopped breathing. She felt as though her heart had been ripped apart.
Mark knew Aery was the perpetrator, he just didn’t want it to be her… so he chose to protect her even though Aery nearly killed her and even caused her to miscarry her child...
