Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1830

The only thing Mark’s speech was able to do was to make the couple exchange glances.

Who in their right mind would ever confess to a crime like this?

Arianne watched the tempest in Mark’s mien slowly pooling into a hurricane. Before he lost control and erupted, Arianne shot a meaningful look at Davy, who called in security to escort Mateo’s parents away.

Unfortunately, the influence of the kerfuffle to the office’s mood had taken effect. Suddenly, all the office could talk about was this strange riot; Arianne could not tune it out even if she wanted to.

When it was finally lunch break, she called Melanie. “Hey, Melanie? Did you tell Mr. and Mrs. Rodriguez about the thing that happened that night?”

Melanie sounded completely flabbergasted. “I haven’t mentioned a thing, though? …Arianne, what happened over there? What made you ask? I admit I suspect Mark’s involvement, but before there is concrete, indisputable evidence proving it, telling people about that night is like begging for everyone to suspect him, right? Especially Teo’s parents! God, they cannot know this. If they do, they will scream bloody culprit at him! That’s why I would never mention something like that.”

Her tone did not indicate mendacity, but it did serve to plunge Arianne into complete loss. “So it wasn’t you…? But who the heck else would it be? The only people who know about that incident are the few of us! I don’t think Mateo is the type to tell his parents about it, either! But just this morning, his parents came to Mark and created a really huge scene. From the looks of it, they’ve already judged that Mark was the man behind it! And now everyone in the office is talking about this…”

Melanie could not, for the life of her, figure out any possible explanation. “Seriously, I did not tell Teo’s parents about it, Arianne; you gotta believe me! The only person I’ve talked to about my suspicion is you, Arianne. I’m panicking over Teo’s abduction, but I haven’t lost my mind to the frenzy. This isn’t something to be taken lightly—it will be really, really bad if Mark got falsely accused.”

Arianne ended the call and sank into a fruitless analysis. She booted up her computer and dug up news of Mateo’s abduction and examined the details closely.
