Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1445

Aery suddenly asked, “Where’s Mark? Isn’t he home?”

Arianne’s expression turned cold. “Why are you looking for him?”

Aerie quickly realized her mistake. “I-it’s… It’s nothing. It’s just a random question. Please don’t be mad, big sis…”

Helen glanced at Aery unhappily. “You should be careful, and take care of yourself for the time being, Arianne. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to the hotel with Aery now. Call me if you need me.”

Arianne nodded and did not say anything since she was still in a foul mood.

When Helen and Aery left, Mark came downstairs. “They’ve left? I think… it’s not safe for them to stay in the hotel, is it? If Jean manages to find them and does something unimaginable, the outcome could be quite disastrous. Jean has just left prison, it’d be difficult for him to survive. There’s nothing he wouldn’t do now since he’s driven to a corner.”

Arianne knew what Mark meant. “I did think of asking them to stay here, but the words just wouldn’t leave my mouth. I keep thinking about Aery has been with you in the past. Moreover, Aery had put TIffany in harm’s way, and I’ll never forgive her for that. I’ve already been very merciful by letting her live out her life peacefully. There’s no need to be worried. I’m sure Helen wouldn’t be so foolish as to put herself in danger.” Despite her words, she was rather worried. It would be fine if Jean could talk things out properly with Helen. She was only afraid Jean was not willing to have a proper discussion and only wanted to make everyone’s lives miserable.

Mark did not continue to speak when he noticed that there was something wrong with Arianne’s expression. He was only putting on a show with Aery and did not have an actual relationship with Aery. In any case, there was no way he could argue with Arianne over the matter.

...

Arianne was still awake when she received the text message. Due to the message, she could not sleep as well. She would not act unless Helen personally asked for help. However, she still could not help worrying. As time passed, she grew even more anxious.

Mark was woken up by Arianne’s tossing and turning. He reached out and embraced her as he asked, “What’s the matter?”

Arianne said in a hushed tone, “There’s an incident at the hotel. Someone sent Helen a dead mouse. It seems like they can’t sleep because of that. There really is something wrong with Jean’s brain. What’s the point of tormenting Helen now that she has returned? Shouldn’t he just tell her what he wants?”

Mark analyzed the situation and said, “It’s possible that all he wants is money. Maybe he just wants her to break down so it’d be easier for him to extort money from her. When people are terrified, they’re more likely to give in to demands so they can end everything as soon as possible. Your mom lived with Jean for so many years, they both know each other very well. I’m sure Jean is aware your mom won’t give in easily and hand him the money he wants. Now that Jean has lost everything, your mom would never marry him again. The only thing he can do now is to find a way to guarantee that he would be able to live leisurely for the rest of his life.”
