Arianne and Eric exchanged a look while Tiffany grabbed her hair in exasperation. “Put up with it? How? Starve to death at home? Or are you not scared of people breaking in at night? Stay out of this, we’re going to discuss it and solve it.”
To alleviate the situation, Eric coughed twice. “Uh… Tiffany, has Jackson contacted you?”
Tiffany nodded. “He came to me in the middle of the night last night, said that the articles that the woman posted online have been taken off. He found someone to erase things off the internet too, but I don’t know why it’s grown more serious today. Seems like what he’s done is ineffective.”
“Tiffie, are you saying that the man involved in the scandal with you is Jackson West?” Lillian’s eyes shone.
Tiffany braced herself and asked, “What are you planning?”
Lillian’s eyes were practically turning into dollar signs. “The Wests are rich. They destroyed my daughter’s reputation. They gotta compensate for the mental anguish. Of course, you’ve already slept with him, so it’d be the best if you can marry him. Not like I want anything out of it; I just want to minimize your loss. Since we can’t change the reality, we’ve got to seize the opportunity. We can’t suffer both physical and financial loss!”
Tiffany chuckled humorlessly. “How dare you—I’m telling you, I have nothing to do with him! If you were this clever, you’d have helped my dad manage his company and factory, but all you know is taking advantage! I’m telling you now that my dad’s hospital bill was donated by Jackson, and the ridiculous blind date that you set up for me extorted $6,600 from me—that was borrowed from Jackson too. So shut up! I’m not asking you to help, just don’t add to the mess!”
