Soon after, a group of security guards rushed to the garage. Inevitably, there would be some form of physical struggle during the process. However, some of the paparazzi actually took the opportunity to record the process and then state that the security guards were “exerting violence” on them, reporting live that Mark was allowing his men to do so on purpose.
Arianne felt both angry and helpless. ‘Would they even listen to our explanation if we were to talk nicely? Would they be willing to leave after that? The only choice is to act, but the moment that’s done, they’ll treat it as violence. What the h*ll do they want?!’
While Arianne remained frozen, there were numerous times where she resisted her own urge to get out of the car to argue with the paparazzi. ‘It’d be better to let the matter die out on its own. The moment I get out of the car, the situation will only get even more out of hand.’
After struggling for a long time, the paparazzi were finally chased out of the garage. Then, Mark helped Arianne walk towards the lift while also protecting her. “I’ll ask Brian to bring a few bodyguards and send you home in a bit. In the meantime, you shouldn’t come to the office for the time being.”
Arianne asked with a concerned tone, “What about you?”
Mark paused for a moment before he said, “I’ll be fine. I can’t hide, not when Tremont Enterprise needs me. With things as they are now, the moment I stop coming to the office, it’ll be chaos. I’ve been through matters worse than this, so there’s nothing for me to be afraid of. Plus, I’m no longer a child.”
‘Mark’s right. He has managed Tremont Enterprise since he was 18 years old, so what hasn’t he seen before? I suppose this matter is nothing but child’s play to him.’
Sometime after 11 AM, Mark arranged some bodyguards to help Arianne leave the company while Brian drove. Arianne wanted to retrieve the items that she left at the Rodriguezes’ manor as soon as possible, so she asked Brian to drive her to meet Geralt.
