Jackson had the same thought. “I’m thinking the same. I’ve been watching this space for a while now; just couldn’t plan anything with it because my company’s a bit short on funds lately. If you’re serious about this, though, may I propose a cooperation?”Capitalists always see business in anywhere they go—even during an outdoor picnic. These two were, in particular, pretty far-gone in this regard.Suddenly, on a decidedly bad timing, Mark’s phone rang.Traumatized by Shelly’s relentless, obsessive pursuits these days, Mark had become very allergic to phone calls in general. He dithered for a bit before finally fishing the phone out. Seeing that it was from the office instead, his grimace eased a little. “Yes?”No one could hear what was being said from the other side, but Mark’s face slowly crunched back into a slight scowl. He did not even say a word more before hanging it up, claiming, “I have an emergency at work requiring my immediate attention. You guys go ahead and enjoy your

Arianne did not keep him. “Be careful while driving.”“Huh? Oh, right. Yes, I will,” Mark fumbled in his reply, his mind still preoccupied with the plagiarism scandal. “You should head into the house now. Smore, say bye bye to Daddy.”An entire day of hijinks had taken most of the young boy’s energy out of his system. Now, he languidly hung from Arianne’s shoulder and waved half-heartedly, not having even enough strength to say goodbye.By the time Mark returned to the Tremont Estate, Shelly had already gone back to sleep. Curiously, she did not stay up to wait for him like she usually did.It was such a novel behavior for Shelly, but Mark ultimately judged it as a good thing. At the very least, he was clear from yet another fight with her for the night.The next day, as soon as Arianne stepped into the company, Robin pulled her into an empty corner in the building. “Trouble’s ahead, Arianne! Someone sued you for plagiarizing their work, and somehow this news has spread throughout
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 1661 Should I Be Snitchin’?!
Arianne slumped against her desk in low morale. “How am I supposed to present my case? If it’s true, then my name is cleared. But what if we can’t get that substantial incriminating evidence that Shelly did it, hmm? It’ll become slander, and then what will Mark think of me? We’re divorced, man. Our relationship is a bit testy now; it’s just not as stable as it used to be. Honestly? I don’t dare stake the shaky remains of our current relationship for this,” she murmured. “Besides… I trust his capabilities. I’m sure he’ll uncover the truth through his investigation. And it’s gonna be a lot better if he finds out on his own rather than hear it from me, right?… God, if the suspect were literally anyone else in the world, I’d rat them out without batting an eyelash. But it’s frickin’ Shelly-Ann Leigh! I can’t afford to be rash and reckless here, and you know why, Sylvain. Guess I’ll just have to… endure this for now.”A change came into the gaze Sylvain fixed on Arianne. “Huh. Gotta admit,
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 1662 Mark Tells Shelly About The Plagiarism Case
He shot her a glance. “Don’t open the door for me if you don’t want to see me. Weren’t you happy every time you saw me? When have I ever brought my own keys?”Arianne choked as no words came out of her mouth because Mark’s words seemed to be true; he did not have his own key and it would be Arianne who opened the door for him everytime. Mark had actually clearly remembered that detail.When they arrived at Tremont Estate, Shelly was nowhere to be seen even after Mark had looked around everywhere.Henry only said that he did not see her even when Mark asked him. Henry would usually be hiding somewhere far away from Shelly since she normally wouldn’t look for him, so how could he possibly pay attention to her whereabouts?After waiting for more than an hour, Shelly finally returned home after having driven out on her own. Her leg was mostly healed and would even be able to walk without relying on her crutches, provided that she did not move around constantly.Mark purposely waited f

Before Mark even opened his mouth, Sylvain took the initiative to mention the case and said, “Mr. Tremont, I can swear that I wasn’t involved in Arianne’s designs being plagiarised. Although I did see her sketch, there were many areas in her sketch that I had helped to amend. Therefore, I may not be able to claim ownership for her designs, but I am able to claim at least 10% of it, so there is no reason for me to do such a heinous act. From the bottom of my heart, I would like to continue developing my career in Tremont Enterprise because there’s no better place to be working at other than Tremont Enterprise, so I would never do anything that would be detrimental to myself. Also, I’m not sure if Arianne has told you or not, but there is one other person who has actually seen her sketch other than me… That person has also seen her sketch right before my own eyes.”Mark nodded his head. “I wasn't actually suspecting you in the first place. I merely wanted to understand more about the ca
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 1664 Mark Tries To Contact The Plaintiff
Mark walked towards Shelly and sat down on the rattan chair. “I’ve got some things to ask you.” Shelly closed the book that she was reading and looked at him with a serious expression. “What’s the matter? Ask away.”He stared at her eyes and slowly formed the words as he asked, “Have you looked at Arianne’s designs?”Shelly was momentarily startled. “When have I… Oh! I remember now. Are you referring to that day in the office? I may have seen it when I went there to look for her for a discussion, but she wasn’t around, so I sat in her seat and chatted for a while with that young man named Sylvain. I did pick up the stuff she had at her desk and looked through them for a short moment. I would’ve forgotten if you hadn’t brought it up. I believe there were some designs. Is this very important? I thought that it wasn’t anything important since… she left it lying around on her desk. Wasn’t Sylvain there as well? I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong, have I?”Mark let out a deep sigh

Regardless, Arianne would be the only person who would be on the receiving end of trouble. If Arianne got charged for plagiarism, there was definitely no way for her to continue working in the industry.Within just a few days, news about the plagiarism case had spread like wildfire, causing Arianne to inevitably become the center of attention amongst her colleague’s gossip and get criticized. As Mark sent her home, he suggested, “Why don’t you take some time off and rest? Let’s wait until I resolve the matter first.”Arianne frowned as she stared at him. “What are you trying to say? If I were to stay at home and hide away from the word, that would just be further proof for others to think that I’m guilty. I refuse to be suspended from work when I have nothing to be ashamed of. I’ve done some research and found that the person who is suing me is currently abroad, so I’ll look for him when he has returned.”Mark helplessly sighed. “I’m just afraid that you’d be emotionally affected by
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 1666 Arianne Insists On Going Back To Work
She looked at him in disdain. “Isn’t that what you want? When have you not wanted to do it when you come in here? Men are all animals who use the lower half of their bodies to think. I can understand that, so stop bullsh*tting.”Would Mark still be able to do it when Arianne had already made such an insulting remark? Instead, he gritted his teeth and wrapped her up tightly in her blanket. “I’ll do it if you’re willing to. Otherwise, forget it. I won’t force you. I have my needs, but I can suppress them, understand? Alright, get some sleep. I’ll accompany you for a while before I leave. Tomorrow… It’d still be better if you don’t go to work. I’ll come and look for you after I’ve had a discussion with the designer, so please be good and stay at home for the next two days. Just treat it as a vacation.”Arianne struggled as she took both her hands out of the blanket to twist Mark’s ears for still being adamant on that matter. “I told you, I refuse to be suspended! Forget about being crit

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
