A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 159 News On The Acquisition
Before he could speak, Jackson clicked his tongue. “I will find a way to settle the incident about you getting ‘cuckolded’. I wouldn’t want your partners to feel sorry for you every time they sign a contract with you. Our Mark Tremont’s reputation is important!”Mark shot a glare at him. “Shut up!”Jackson responded with a teasing smile instead. “I think… you shouldn’t piss her off. She used to be like a little bunny that you could rib and roll around. I didn’t expect her to be this scary once she finally snapped.”Mark waved his hand dismissively. “Alright, get out of my room now.”Jackson burst into laughter. “Hahaha… okay, okay. Seems like our Mark Tremont is going to sleep in the office tonight. How pitiful. I shall take my leave now and run into the arms of a beauty.”The next day, Ellie Amore walked in as soon as Mark came out after tidying himself up in the office lounge. “Mr. Tremont, Mr. Sivan is here.”He straightened his tie with a frown. “Show him in.”Ellie nodded t
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 160 Bickering Like A Married Couple
As if sensing her emotions, Rice Ball stretched out its paw and rubbed Arianne's back. She put the cat down then walked to the window. She called Mark on her phone but quickly hung up a second before the call went through.There was no point calling and questioning Mark right now. Whether this was personal or not, she had no reason to question him about anything related to business.She called Will instead. “Your company was acquired by Mark? Why didn’t you tell me earlier? You called me before because of this, right? At that time, you must have been very depressed…”In an indifferent tone, Will said, “The weak are prey to the strong. The Sivan family is inferior to the Tremont family. The buyout isn’t a surprise. I should be thankful that he didn’t go all out but instead allowed me to continue managing the company. The only difference is that I’ll be working for him. One day, I will take back whatever belongs to the Sivan family. Don’t worry about it, Ari. It’s really alright.”Ar

Arianne couldn’t eat anymore, so she picked up the plate of salmon and went upstairs.Rice Ball seemed to be very fond of salmon. After cleaning the plate in just a flash, the white ball of fluff started rubbing itself against her leg.Kneeling down to stroke Rice Ball’s soft fur, Arianne felt her mood significantly lift. “Little Rice Ball, you were a stray cat before, but why are you this chubby?”A cold snort came from outside the studio. Arianne snapped her head around and caught a glimpse of Mark’s figure passing by followed by the sound of his study room’s door being shut.She didn’t take him seriously and even secretly rolled her eyes. Sometimes, even animals were more humane than humans. At least watching Rice Ball made her happy.After Arianne was done playing with the cat, she went back to the bedroom and slept. Since it was too boring at home, she decided to return to work at her office tomorrow.It was midnight when Mark felt a little tired from sitting in front of his
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 162 Getting A Contract Signed
Arianne was too lazy to be bothered about Mark. She pulled the blanket over her head and proceeded to sleep. All of a sudden, she felt a dip in the bed. Was Mark going to sleep in this room tonight? If she wasn’t mistaken, he came out with only a towel just now.She got up awkwardly and found another quilt. Just like that, the two of them slept the night away on the same bed but under different blankets.The next morning when Arianne got up, Mark was still asleep. His blanket had slipped down to his chest, and she stared at his sexy collarbone with guilt. Although it wasn’t her first time seeing it, looking at it early in the morning still made her blush a deep shade of red.Recalling how he treated Rice Ball last night, Arianne wickedly pulled Mark’s blanket over his head. To further secure it, she even threw her blanket over him so that he could taste the feeling of waking up from suffocation!Having done all that, she happily went downstairs for breakfast and instructed Mary to
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 163 The Boss’ Request
Eric, who was about to leave the company, burst out into laughter when he heard what Arianne said. He called Mark as soon as he stepped out of the elevator and repeated what she said without missing a beat.Mark looked impossibly brooding on the other end of the line. “Laugh all you want, Eric. I’ll make laughing impossible for you later. Do you still want that contract signed?”Eric forced himself to stifle his laughter. “Cough, cough… Uh, it has nothing to do with me. I just heard her in the passing. Haven’t I been kind enough to tell you?”The corners of Mark’s lips curled up thoughtfully. “Eric, ask Arianne to sign the contract with me. Otherwise, I won’t be attending the appointment. I won’t meet anyone from your company either, for that matter. You have an hour and a half until office hours end to decide.”All traces of humor left Eric. “Big bro, don’t do this to me. What can I possibly do to Arianne if she refuses to go? Fire her? She’s your wife, what can I do? Besides, she sai
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 164 Let Arianne Order
Arriving at the forty-sixth floor of Tremont Tower, Mark Tremont’s secretary, Ellie Amore, placed two pairs of slippers in front of the two ladies. “Please change into these.”Lily changed into the slippers as told, but Arianne ignored the order. Of course, she still knocked before entering the office and only went in after Mark gave permission. She was here to sign the contract, after all, not to quarrel.“Mr. Tremont, this is the contract from our company. You can have a look first. There’s no hurry to sign it. Let’s have a meal together later and you can take the time to consider,” Arianne said with a formal tone.She stood tall and straight with a smile. Other than her shoes that she had not changed, there was no fault.Mark scanned the document that she had passed him seriously, leaning against his chair. His somber front surprised Arianne, as she thought that he would make things difficult for her. It seemed like he really didn’t intend to mix work and personal affairs; although,
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 165 Was That A Joke?
When the dishes were served consecutively, a hint of a smile grew more apparent at the corners of Mark’s lips. It felt like a breath of fresh air.Arianne was rather puzzled. Was something wrong with him today? She knew that he always had a façade in front of everyone but something did not feel quite right.After a moment of observation, she picked out a detail. No matter how he smiled in the past, his eyes looked like they were covered with ice. There was no emotion in them. Today, however, even his eyes were beaming…Mark did not come up with absurd requests during the meal, which kept Arianne on edge. The contract was soon signed. The process was so smooth that it felt like a dream to her.It was around eight at night when they exited the restaurant. The night breeze during this season was still a little chilly. Lily asked, “Arianne, are you going back with Mr. Tremont?”Before Arianne could answer, Mark replied, “She’s my missus. Of course she’s going back with me. Ellie, let Miss
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 166 Staying In The Wind
Arianne was sober at once. “Which part do you mean?”For a moment, Mark did not know how to reply. After a short period of silence, he heard Arianne faintly say, “The accident’s injury has healed, and the miscarriage surgery was successful too. It stopped hurting a while ago. Aery Kinsey is having fun with a group of friends in the bar now, she must not have gotten hurt in that accident, right?”Mark did not say anything. That marked the end of their conversation.Soon, Arianne’s even breathing could be heard. Mark tucked her in and closed his eyes.The next morning, he woke up feeling like he was being stepped on. There was a distinct weight above him that was stepping around and moving. Opening his eyes, he realized with a startle that it was Rice Ball. The white ball of a body was moving freely on him.Not daring to exhale deeper, Mark carefully stuck his hand into Arianne’s blanket with the intention to wake her up so that she could take care of the lump of fur on him. Unfortunatel

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
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 1896 You Mom’s Woken Up!
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
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 1895 Do You Not Love Me?
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
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 1894 Same Room. Alone.
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
