Jackson was on the other end of the phone call. “Mark, where are you? I want to find you now. It’s about… the matter before Arianne got caught up in that incident. The driver and nanny that was accompanying her have been found.”
Mark lightly took a breath. “All right… I understand. Come to my house then, I’m here.”
After waiting for approximately half an hour, Jackson and Tiffany entered the door together. Coincidentally, Alejandro was with them as well. However, he was there alone without bringing Melanie with him.
While they chatted in the living room, Mark asked Mary to bring Smore with her to play somewhere else.
Tiffany’s eyes had gone red before she even spoke. “How’s Ari?”
Mark shook his head lightly without saying anything. He did not wish to repeat what the doctor had told him. At that moment, Arianne was still in critical condition.
Jackson heaved a sigh. “The driver was at the scene when Mateo and Arianne fell from the building. Before that, when they arrived at the airport, they’d injected some drug into Arianne and wanted to take her away directly. But she struggled hard to escape and finally ran into that hotel before heading up to the rooftop. Arianne didn’t seem to have the intention of jumping during that time, but she probably couldn’t resist the drug’s effects any longer, so she fell. Mateo rushed towards her without a second thought, so I’m guessing he probably wanted to protect Arianne. That’s why he’s dead, but Arianne’s still alive. I took a look at Mateo’s corpse; he fell pretty terribly, there’s literally no bone in his body that’s unfractured. On the other hand, Arianne’s fractures aren’t severe, the most important thing is that her head was well protected. However, from that height… this is the best that could happen.”
Jackson could not hold it in any longer. “Do you really have to be at odds with me? Are you trying to say that we should kill them off? In that case, you do it. They’re in your hands anyway.”
Unexpectedly, Tiffany was actually much more cruel than Jackson. “Even if Mateo did instruct the driver and the nanny to do it, they’re the ones who injected the drug into Ari. They’re the ones who indirectly caused Ari to be in this situation, so neither of them should even think of escaping! Even if they don’t die, I want them skinned so that they learn a lesson to never do that kind of thing ever again! If Ari doesn’t make it, they’d be better off dead as well!”
Alejandro raised an eyebrow. “You’re quite right, I’ll follow what you just said as much as I can. Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now, so you guys carry on.”
