After a moment, Don Smith put down the folder and looked at Mark without batting an eyelid. “Mr. Tremont, what’s the meaning of this? I don’t know this man. Who is he to you?”Mark casually tapped on the table with his long fingernail, but his eyes flashed a hint of coldness. His thin lips raised as he spoke. “My father’s bastard.”Don Smith’s heart throbbed in pain as he got slightly agitated, but he retained a straight face and ignored the pain to not prevent any slip ups. “So, this Ethan Connor… He’s your family? Never would I expect that the Tremonts would have a bastard in this area. You would probably know why he disappeared in South Africa, wouldn’t you? Are you… suspecting that he’s alive and has returned here?”Mark snorted emotionlessly. “I’ve recently learned that your grandson, Alejandro, was with Ethan at the same location and had an incident at the same time as well. I never knew that it was public knowledge that Alejandro was a cripple, but now, it seems like there ha

Don Smith’s anger gradually subsided as he listened to what Alonso said. He was right; there were no cowards in the Tremont family, even if he was a bastard. He never would have thought that the person who had pretended to be his grandson was originally a Tremont, but this revelation wasn’t a bad thing to him.When Mark returned home, he did an unprecedented thing. Instead of heading for the shower straight away, he rushed to his study to call Jacson. “I’ve just gotten back from the Smith estate to interrogate Don Smit. He did react when he saw the file on Ethan. I was also able to discern from his behaviour that he knows that the current Alejandro is a fake but chooses to accept and conceal the truth. This could also mean that the real Alejandro Smith is possibly dead. Now that the current Alejandro Smith is under the protection of the Smiths, it won’t be easy to confirm if he really is Ethan.Jackon’s reply was more of a whisper as he said, “Are you serious? Have the Smiths really
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 1074 The Paternity Test
When he got into his car, he drove directly to the civil affairs office. Tiffany sat beside him restlessly, her hands constantly moving, fiddling with everything she saw while tidying her hair occasionally. Suddenly, she noticed that the glove compartment wasn’t tightly shut through the edge of her eyes, and she saw a piece of paper partially sticking out. She reached out to open up the glove compartment and pull out the piece of paper. Jackson braked immediately without warning, causing her to hit her head unprepared.In a flash, she had made out a few words on the piece of paper—“Paternity Test.”Before she could take a better look, Jackson had snatched the report away from her. “Y-you… Don’t touch my stuff…”Tiffany flinched and looked at him, her suspicions growing when he evaded her gaze. “What do you mean? Haven’t I always touched your stuff whenever I wanted to? What have I not touched yet? Jackson West, what is with that paternity test? Whose is it? If you don’t tell me ever
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 1075 Tiffany Tells Arianne Anyway
When they left the civil affairs office after collecting their marriage certificate, Tiffany delightfully put the red booklet into her handbag with care. “Such a good day today. Shall we go somewhere nice for lunch?”Jackson rubbed his ear, which was still throbbing in pain. “Sure, as long as you’re happy, we’ll do whatever you want…”She glared at him. “What do you mean by as long as I’m happy? Does that mean you dislike eating with me? I’m telling you now, Jackson West, don’t pull your face in front of me constantly. If you’re not happy about something, say it. Don’t make it look like I’m always pushing you around! If my daughter turns out to be ugly from all the times you’ve had me stare at your gloomy face, I’m blaming you for it!”Jackson did not dare to neglect her warnings and immediately carried her into the car. “Alright, alright, I’m smiling now, ok? Let’s go and eat whatever you want for lunch. I’m not unhappy. Spending time with you is the best thing that could happen to
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 1076 Solidifying Alliances
Don Smith dismissed everyone else from the ward. “Mark Tremont came to see me last night.”Alejandro tensed on the bed. “So?”Don Smith stared fixedly at him. “You’re one of the Tremonts, aren’t you? But Mark Tremont won’t let you live. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have ended up in Nafaeth with the real Alejandro, then assumed his identity.”“What are you trying to imply?” Alejandro replied in a non-committal manner. “I have no intention of hiding my past. However, I see no need to mention it. The Tremonts and I have nothing to do with each other.”The old man clicked his tongue. “Are you that unfeeling? After everything that Mark has done to you, you’ve never considered taking everything that belongs to you? When the time comes, both the Tremonts and Smiths will be yours. Don’t you have any ambition?”Alejandro suddenly smiled. “I’m aware that the Smiths were once involved with the Tremonts, but they’ve parted ways long ago and everyone has been minding their own business. You just wa
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 1077 Yet Another Pregnancy
Alejandro gave no reply. He knew that Tiffany didn’t love him anymore. He had missed out on three years, which was equivalent to an entire lifetime. He would have to use the rest of his life to make up for letting her down over the past three years. He just simply refused to believe that the girl whose eyes were once filled with him and him alone had fallen in love with another man, just like she had once loved him. He just couldn’t accept it… He didn’t want to sever their connection. He would rather give everything up and have her instead. Was that so wrong?One month later.Alenjandro’s surgery was complete and he had returned to the manor. He had lived the life of a convict throughout the entire month. He was under surveillance by Don Smith’s men at all times. They weren’t just watching him, but also taking precautions against Mark’s men to prevent them from finding proof of his identity as Ethan.During this time, Don Smith stayed in the capital and personally managed busine

Melanie opted against telling Don Smith about her pregnancy. She forced a resolute smile on her face. “I’ll take good care of Alex, grandfather. I’ll definitely help speed up his recovery. I’m not good with managing business, so we’ll have to trouble you for the time being. Get an early night’s rest. I can take it from here.”Don Smith nodded, feeling pleased. Then he turned around and left.Melanie put her sadness away and carefully asked, “Shall I help you with your bath?”Alejandro glanced at her still-flat belly. “Tell Jett to do it.”She gritted her teeth. “What’s wrong? I can’t look at your body now? You’ve never tried to hide it before.”He didn’t answer. Instead, he drove the wheelchair to the bedroom door. “Jett!”Jett pushed the door open and walked in, but when he saw the ashen look on Melanie’s face, he was shocked. He paused and said, “Sir, Don Smith has summoned me. Please excuse me.”The atmosphere turned cold. A short while later, Melanie let out a soft scoff and

Melanie refused to believe it. She had seen Alejandro unbutton Lynn’s lapels with her own eyes. “Tell me the truth. I won’t cause you any trouble. You have no need to be afraid of me.”Lynn shook her head again. “It’s really nothing. Whatever you saw that day, it wasn’t like that. He has never touched me. He has only asked me to stay because he wants me to do something for him that involves my ties to Jackson West.”Melanie immediately understood. “I understand. He has asked you to break Jackson and Tiffany up, hasn’t he?”Lynn hung her head and did not say too much. She was in a wealthy man’s courtyard. The more she talked, the easier it would be to make a mistake.Melanie silently let out a sigh of relief. At least, Lynn and Alejandro weren’t having a torrid affair. “Has he asked you to do anything lately? You don’t have to keep it from me, I just want to know. I won’t get involved. I’m nothing but a tool to grant him benefits. I have no right to meddle in his personal affairs.”

Arianne had not heard that name for so long, she had to reel back in bemusement for a few seconds before finally remembering her face.Shelly-Ann Leigh… She must have spent all those years in the mental institution, right? God knows if the woman’s hair was now grey and white all over.When someone was near death, one could stand to forgive all of the history between them—even the dark ones, even if the ledger was brimming—for good. So, Arianne replied, “I’ll go with you. No matter what happened, she’s still your mother.”Mark did not expect that answer from her at all. In his surprise, he bent down and left a kiss on her lips. “I knew I picked the right woman as my wife. I thought you wouldn’t agree to let me accompany her for the last of her days…”Arianne replied nothing. She was not so obtuse that she would try to win over a woman whose days were numbered. No matter how much of an a**hole Shelly was, Arianne was still the one who came out on top. That victory was all she needed.

Arianne sneered. “You confused, little thing. I wouldn’t be daft enough to anger the mother of the man I like if I were you, girl. I would especially not say anything as low IQ as that, too. Let me be completely frank with you: no one who bears the surname of Leigh will ever get the better of me—the last one failed. Hard. I can guarantee that you’ll leave us in the span of three days. If I lose, you can stay here forever. Wanna bet? I dare you.”She left her threat hanging at that and turned her wheelchair away, leaving the scorned young woman behind.Rage came out of Raven as waves of quakes all over her body. She was lurching close to hyperventilation, but right before it became impossible to stop, she came around and battled herself to calm down. She had a feeling that even if she fainted right there and then, no one would discover her, would they?Now that Arianne and Mark had returned, the Tremont Estate had recovered its vivacity and life. It had become merry.And Raven Leigh

Melissa was the type who always pushed things to go as festive as logically possible. She leaped to her feet and raised her cup, “Yo, everyone! Let’s toast to Cindy becoming my cousin-in-law!”The crowd answered enthusiastically with their cups in the air and a roar—except Raven, who remained seated. “I have a sickly constitution. I can’t drink. I’m sorry.”Her smile was so mechanical, her face too ashen. Something flickered in Arianne’s eyes before she replied, “Sure.”After the revelry faded, Arianne steered her wheelchair to the courtyard. The outward appearance of the Tremont Estate seemed to have frozen in time, which was why being here made her feel so… safe.Of course, that was despite Henry and Mary’s passing. In the end, time passed and things changed, characters and objects came and went, and all these missing years left lingering regrets in their wake.Arianne espied the silhouette standing alone at a distance and approached her, sighing, “Nothing beats being home.”Ra

Arianne grabbed the two beauties by the hands and smiled. “Thank you! Gosh, to me… it’s like you two have grown older in the blink of an eye! How gorgeous the two of you are! Cindy, where’s your brother? Plato hasn’t come home yet?”Mentioning the name of her dear brother made Cynthia pout. “He said he was coming home half a month ago—that’s what he said. Who knows what he’s actually doing, though? Anyway, who cares about that no-good. He’s always like this anyway. Oh, um, the weather is quite hot. We should probably get inside.”Arianne nodded and shot a brief, uneasy look at Aristotle. Not once did he look like he wanted to talk to her… Could the boy be counting his grievances in his mind? Mark and Arianne had stayed in Switzerland for so long; life must have been hard for him all alone.It took until she reached the living room to finally notice Raven. “Millie, is this your younger sister?”Melissa quickly sprung to correct her. “What? Noooo. This is Ares’ classmate or something
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 1897 A Queen’s Return
Aristotle’s entire being stilled.He had waited for this news for nineteen years. As time passed, the flames died little by little, the heart grew more numb, until the very thought of it was no different from a pipe dream. But today, news of it coming true reached him and plunged him into a torrent of feelings.A long while later, he finally muttered under his breath, “When… When will they be back?”Jackson closed the distance between them and gave the young man a light, comforting pat on the shoulders. “Not so soon, I bet; not when your mother has just woken up and is in need of some time to recover. She did sleep for nineteen years, you know. So maybe after she’s recuperated enough for a while…” he answered. “We’ve waited for nineteen years for this, right? What’s waiting for just a little bit more compared to that? The most important thing for you to do is to manage the company to the best of your abilities. That’s the way to not disappoint your father’s expectation.”Aristotle

Cynthia had never had a relationship before, so she did not know what love was. However, one thing was for certain. She loved the feeling of being with Aristotle and how he had protected her since they were kids. Even though Aristotle had become a little domineering and “naughty”, she was not taken aback by him. Instead, she even felt a little moved, which was amazing.It wasn’t known how they ended up in bed, with their breaths synchronized. Apart from the final step, they had done just about everything else that could be done.Just as they were about to hit the final step, Aristotle suddenly stopped and helped pull the covers over Cynthia. “Let’s sleep, good night.”Cynthia was still lost in a daze from before. She did not know why Aristotle had suddenly stopped, nor did she have the courage to ask him. She had struggled for so long before having persuaded herself to go with the flow…The next day, when Cynthia woke up, Aristotle had already long gone to his company.She took a

Cynthia heard what Aristotle said, but her hands did not stop doing what they were doing. Her head was in a complete mess. “There’s no… no need. I’ll be able to be done with these now. Go ahead and get some sleep first. By the way, where am I sleeping tonight? There are so many rooms here, I’ll ask Agnes to help me clear one up.”Aristotle walked up to her and squatted. He grabbed onto her arm with one hand while the other closed the luggage. “Just sleep with me here and stop tidying already.”Cynthia suspected that she might have misheard. She took a look at the big bed behind him in a daze and suddenly felt her palm, which was held by him, burning up. “Y… You’re kidding, aren’t you, Ares? Although we used to sleep with each other a lot when we were kids, we’re all grown ups now, so wouldn’t that be a little inappropriate?”Aristotle said with a straight face, “I wasn't joking.”Cynthia panicked a little and recalled Melissa’s words once again. ‘Would Ares, whom I’ve known for so

Melissa knew that Aristotle had kissed Cynthia, so she knew what was going on. Hence, she very naturally boasted, “Of course, they’ve been engaged to each other since they were born. Coincidentally, the both of them felt the same way about each other as they grew up, so wouldn’t this make it even better? From the way I see it, your illness isn’t going to recover for the rest of your life and the both of them are probably going to have to wait until Cindy graduates before they get married. So, you’d be better off moving back to France as early as possible. Don’t worry, you’ve saved Aristotle’s life before, so he wouldn’t be stingy with you financially.”Raven wanted to control the unhappiness she had in her heart very much, but her emotions refused to follow her will. Hence, she fiercely struggled to wring free from Melissa’s grasp. Melissa was startled for a moment. “Are you crazy?”After that, Raven regained her senses and took a deep breath. “I’m sorry… I was a little unwell just n
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 1893 Won’t Your Fiance Get Jealous?
‘You’re not that worried?’ Melissa was so furious that she laughed. “Am I the only one who’s being worried for nothing? I thought you loved my brother, didn’t you? The man you’ve been dreaming of every day has returned from France but brought a woman with him, yet you’re actually not that worried? Let’s put aside your parents’ intentions for a moment. Do you dare to say that you don’t love him? I’m only helping you because you’re my best friend, so could you not be so relaxed, as if I’m helping you for no reason?”Cynthia shook her head and lowered her volume as she said, “He… might have confessed to me. We also… did that already. So, I think he doesn’t feel that way towards Raven. It’s purely because she saved his life once. I trust that Ares will be able to handle the situation properly.”Melissa’s eyes opened wide. “What? He’s only returned for a few days, yet the two of you have already had sex? That fast?! I never knew it, but you’ve really got it in you!”Cynthia’s face flushe
