Chapter 5 Mr Hunt Is Married

• After the plane crash, Jared seemed like a completely different person, cold and indifferent to her, never smiling.
• Ariana always believed her father blamed her for her mother's death, since it was her idea to take that flight home.
• For the past ten years, Ariana had tried her best to please him, even tolerating Martha and Elaine's behavior to no end, just to see a smile on his face.
• But in Jared's eyes, Elaine was his real daughter; Ariana was just a pawn, like her mother.
• This time, Ariana wouldn't be a pushover anymore.
• Ariana's words left Jared gasping for breath, and he collapsed on the spot.
• Martha and Elaine were shocked, never expecting Ariana to stop caring about Jared.
• Ariana glanced coldly at the three of them before turning to go upstairs.
• Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind her.
• The moment Jared woke up, he immediately lashed out at Ariana, hurling threats at her. "Don't think that just because you got married, you can escape the Ransom family. I have the final say on every matter related to you."
• Escape? Ariana curled her lip in disdain.
• In the past, she had planned to save enough money to leave this disgusting home.
• But starting today, she had a different thought.
• Why should I sit back and watch Jared waste my mother's wealth on his mistress and her daughter? Why should this vile family get to live in my mother's house? Why should the good suffer in misery while the wicked thrive? I won't run away. I'll get my revenge, on all three of them.
• As Ariana stepped onto the last step, she turned into the darkest room at the corner, which was her own.
• She gently pulled the door open, paused, and then deliberately slammed it shut.
• Sure enough, it didn't take long for voices to drift up from downstairs.
• Jared sighed while still cursing Ariana. "That brat ruined my plan. The company is low on funds and has provoked Benedict!"
• Elaine, seeing her father's state, quickly pretended to be helpful and ease his worries. She said, "Dad, don't worry. I talked to Daniel today about the funding. He'll help out."
• Jared instantly felt a wave of comfort and patted Elaine's head lightly. He said, "That's great! You're so understanding and thoughtful."
• Elaine smiled perfunctorily, but a glint of malice flashed in her eyes.
• It is a shame that Ariana hasn't been ruined today. Why has she suddenly become clever?
• Elaine's expression darkened as she furrowed her brow at Jared.
• She said, "Dad, we are rich, after all. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for Ariana to casually marry a man?"
• Mentioning Ariana made Jared snort.
• He said, "I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. We need to find that man and make them divorce."
• "Yes, for Ariana's happiness, it's better to look into this properly," Elaine immediately chimed in, her eyes flashing with triumphant glee.
• After hearing their conversation, Ariana frowned.
• Looks like when I meet with Simon to sign the contract tomorrow, I'll need to make sure he's on the same page with me.
• Losing interest in what they were saying next, Ariana quietly opened the door and returned to her room.
• Elaine smiled hypocritically, while Jared thought his daughter was nothing short of an angel.
• Jared said, "Elaine is so gentle and kind. Mr. Hunt will surely fall for you at first sight."
• In fact, the blind date with the Hunt family had been proposed by Martin out of respect for Ariana's mother, Vanessa.
• Ariana was unaware of this, and since the two families hadn't seen each other in years, Martin might not even know who Vanessa's daughter was.
• Jared seized the opportunity to give this chance to Elaine.
• Jared said, "Who wouldn't be captivated by Elaine's beauty? I'm going to take her to get a custom-made evening gown that will definitely impress Mr. Hunt..."
• Before Martha could finish her proud statement, the phone suddenly rang.
• Jared picked up the phone, his tone impatient as he said, "Hello? Who is this?"
• "Hello, is this Mr. Ransom? I'm the butler from the Hunt family."
• Upon hearing Adam Hall's voice, Jared immediately changed his tone, becoming obsequious. "Oh, Adam! What an honor."
• Elaine and Martha immediately perked up, leaning in closer to the phone, lowering their voices.
• Jared asked, "Are you inviting Elaine to the Hunt family?"
• At that moment, Adam's voice came through the line. "Mr. Ransom, I'm calling to discuss the blind date between Mr. Hunt and Miss Ransom for tomorrow."
• As soon as Adam finished speaking, Jared and his family were ecstatic.
• "Please, go ahead," Jared said.
• As long as they connected with the Hunt family, they would be set for life.
• Adam said, "I'm very sorry to tell you that Mr. Hunt got married today, so the blind date is no longer needed, and tomorrow's meeting is canceled."
• "What? Mr. Hunt is already married?!" Jared said.
