The next day, Arianne called for someone to put up a new door and windows. By afternoon, it was finally done, and they could continue with business.
She knew that Helen had already spoken to Aery and Jean Kinsey. However, knowing Helen, the most she could do was completely cut ties with the father and daughter. She could not possibly limit their movements. She was not sure if Jean would continue to look for trouble with her, she had to take appropriate measures according to the situation. As long as she managed to get evidence on Jean, he would be sent to jail!
Realizing that the date for her return to the capital was drawing near, Tiffany grew anxious. “Ari, how about I talk to Jackson about staying here a little longer? I’m really worried about leaving you here at a time like this”
Arianne stubbornly shook her head. “I can take care of this. You should go. I owe you too much. I don’t want you to sacrifice yourself for me anymore. Listen to me this time, Tiffie. Jean and Aery aren’t exactly dangerous people. This is a civilized society. They’re not going to hurt me. Even if they do, I’ll make them pay for it ten times over. None of them will be able to get away with it.”
After a bout of hesitation, Tiffany remembered Mark would be coming soon. In the end, she decided not to worry too much and nodded. “Alright… If… If Mark comes to see you, will you give him a chance? Will you give yourself a chance? You’re obviously in love with him. I know. No one knows you better than I do. You’d spend every bit of your energy tormenting him if you really hate him. Leaving him was his biggest salvation…”
Arianne could not understand why she was bringing Mark up again. She said half-heartedly, “Okay, okay, I understand. You should worry about yourself, don’t worry about me. Make sure Tanya knows what to do as a barista. I don’t want the shop to collapse once you leave.”
Tiffany knew Arianne would change the topic once Mark was mentioned in a conversation so she stopped talking. She had advised Arianne to accept Mark back again because Arianne was in love with him. Hate was a terrifying thing, but hating the man you love was an extremely painful thing. She hoped Arianne would be able to open her heart and give Mark a chance. She did not want Arianne to suffer for the rest of her life.
...
Jean seemed determined to attack Arianne. After falling out with Helen, he completely lost control. He sent some men over to the shop to destroy the door and windows again.
When Arianne arrived the next day, she was not surprised at all. Instead, she simply called the police. This was the second attack. If Jean wanted to play games with her, she was down for it. Regardless of what he did, he would not be able to get away once the police got involved.
The door and windows repairmen were puzzled when they arrived. “Why are people always vandalizing your place?”
Arianne stood at the side and calmly explained, “Someone’s out to get me. If they’re going to look for trouble with me, I’m not backing down. Will you fix this up again please?”
