Tiffany gave Arianne an address, and she quickly changed her clothes upstairs. Just when she was about to leave, Butler Henry stood in her way. “Madam, sir has instructed that you are not to go anywhere until he comes back.”
Arianne bit her lip and held her ground stubbornly. She was Mark Tremont’s wife, not some canary in a cage. She had the right to go and meet whoever she pleased. No one shall deny her freedom!
“Uncle Henry, I’m only going out to meet a female friend. I’ll be back soon, don’t tell Mark. Even if he finds out, I shall bear the consequences myself,” she said with a pleading tone.
Uncle Henry wavered slightly. He had watched over Arianne and Mark since they were children. Sometimes, it was better for him to be less strict on her. “Then… come back as soon as you can. Sir may call to inquire later and I’ll be put in a difficult position.”
Arianne was slightly moved. “Thank you, Uncle Henry…”
Butler Henry had served the Tremont family for his entire life. It was usually impossible for him to go against Mark Tremont’s wishes. Now that he was willing to help her out, Arianne didn’t know what else to say except for words of gratitude.
When she arrived at the address given by Tiffany, she found out that it was a bar. She never liked this kind of place. The blaring music made her feel uncomfortable and she didn’t dare look directly at the swaying bodies on the dance floor. Everything here just seemed so over the top to her.
It was so dim in the bar, she couldn’t locate Tiffany and had no choice but to call her on the phone. It took her a few tries before the call was finally picked up. “I’m at booth number twelve…”
Tiffany sounded tipsy.
Arianne Wynn quickly located the booth and found Tiffany sitting alone, looking like a mess with a wine bottle in hand.
She snatched the bottle away. “Tiffie, why are you drinking like this? Tell me what’s the matter. You’ll be the one who’ll suffer if you ruin your body!”
