The moment the call connected, Beau’s voice was heard and he spoke in his native language. “Good day, who’s this?”
Arianne did not intend to converse in his language and said, “My name is Arianne. I’m Mark Tremont’s wife.”
Beau immediately switched to English. “I see. Hello, I was not expecting for you to call. Is something the matter?”
Arianne found it strange. Wasn’t Beau close with Mark and Jackson? Why was Beau’s first reaction not about Mark’s accident, but a very simple approach instead? Either he was not aware of the incident, or he knows about it, but was siding with Seaton.
She calmed herself and said, “I was just going through Tremont Enterprise’s shareholders list, and I found that your mother owns 5%. Are you planning to sell? If you are, could you consider selling it to me first?”
Beau’s paused for a moment before replying, “Why would I want to sell those shares? Those are my mother’s business; I have no right to interfere. Hold on… Has something happened in the company? Or… Is it simply to reclaim all the shares?”
Arianne began to think that Beau did not even know about Mark’s incident. She sighed in relief and said, “Mark’s been in an accident, don’t you know? Someone’s out there gathering Tremont Enterprise’s shares for themselves, so I need to protect the company.”
Beau was shocked once again. “What? How could it be him? Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”
Arianne choked as she said, “I’m sure that it’s him. I’m unable to put him in court due to the lack of evidence. Hence, the best I could do now is to protect the company. Everyone on the ship drowned, along with all the items on board. Alejandro was the only survivor, so it’s harder to investigate the matter. Before the ship sailed, it was deemed to be fit for travel. Therefore, it’s very likely that someone sabotaged the life rafts after the ship sailed and then drowned along with the ship to cut off all loose ends. I’m only here to ask you for the shares. If you don’t agree with Seaton’s methods as well, just ignore it and don’t mention a word about it to him. Seaton isn’t aware that I’m suspecting him—no, it’s not just a suspicion, I’m very sure that it’s him.”
Beau gave a long sigh. “I understand, I am unable to move away at the moment due to circumstances. However, I’ll discuss the matter with my mother. Even if I don’t sell it to you, I would definitely refuse to sell it to him as well. The two of us do not walk the same path. I’ll come back to you the moment I have an answer. Wait for me until then.”
