A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 663 Turning The Tides
“Fine, I’ll talk then. I want a villa on San Pelegrino Hill and $15 million in cash. These are my terms. They are non-negotiable.”It was the contents of her conversation with Mark from three days ago, trimmed into a few sentences, enough to simplify the matter, enough to clearly define her as a wicked, gold digger!Her pregnancy out of wedlock had also been dragged out and turned into a cock and bull story by netizens. Some netizens had even published her phone number and identification number. Her phone was ringing off the hook from spam phone calls, forcing her to turn off her phone. She was now holed up in the hotel, too afraid to even step out! Previously, when she met up with Mark, she was very careful with her words, as she was afraid that the conversation might be recorded. Unfortunately, her nervousness in the process was her downfall… At that very moment, Atticus calmly faced an interview by the media, detailing his dispute with her. Atticus’s previous students also stepped
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 664 Take Care, Miss Legrand
Bernadette sat decrepitly on the side of the bed; her hair was in a disarray, and the look in her eyes towards Atticus was complicated. In the end, she chose not to say a word. She had thought that he would come alone, but now Summer was here too. She couldn’t possibly reveal such unbearable details to the world. This was her final shred of dignity, “It’s nothing. I’ve lost. Nothing happened between us. That child isn't yours. That’s all.”Summer looked at her, utterly disgusted. She thought that she would hear some new piece of revelation from her. She did not expect to hear that, “You’re nothing. We’ll be leaving now. Take care, Miss Legrand.”In the end, Bernadette did not take Mark’s villa or his money. Aside from complete and utter ruin, she gained nothing from her exploit. Her final request was for Mark to get rid of the internet discussions and grant her peace. She couldn’t afford to offend this man.A great divide that could never be patched up now separated Jackson and Atticus
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 665 Can I Sleep Here?
She narrowed her eyes and surveyed him. He used to bark orders at her, but now, the tables have completely turned. She suddenly felt the urge to torture him, “Sure. Remember to add salt. Salt is finer, sugar is more coarse. Don’t mess it up. Also, you have to wash the vegetables.”Mark felt helpless. “I only make mistakes once.” Yes, the last bowl of noodles that he had made in her condo was a failure. It should be much easier now that he had gone through it once. This time, he would perform well.By the time he served the noodles onto the table, they smelled particularly delicious to Arianne, probably because she was starving. It tasted pretty good too.When he saw how focused she was with her food, he couldn’t help asking, “Does it taste that good?”“Passable,” she answered without lifting her head.He was speechless. Was this woman incapable of sincerely praising him? Passable? What did she mean by that? If it tastes good, say so. If it doesn’t, just say it. What kind of evaluation
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 666 It’s All Just An Act
With him holding her from behind like that, she felt slightly nervous. She relented in order to quickly get away from this particular position. “Okay.”He smiled and released his arms from around her waist.Back in the bedroom, the pair lay side by side but could not seem to fall asleep. Arianne slept whenever she wanted, night or day. She wasn’t tired at all. Mark couldn’t sleep because she was right next to him.“Do you want a boy or a girl?” he suddenly asked in the dark.“It’s all the same,” Arianne answered immediately, “As long as the child is born safely, I don’t care if it’s a boy or a girl. This will be the only child I’ll ever bear in this life. I can’t choose.” She paused for a while, then asked, “What about you?”He turned to the side and faced her, then placed his hand gently on her abdomen, “Me too. I’ll love it, no matter if it’s a boy or a girl, as long as it’s from you.”Arianne couldn’t describe how she felt when she heard this. She was too used to his cold and distan
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 667 Granny Makes A Decision
After getting over her shock, Mary smiled knowingly, “Yes, yes yes. Mr. Tremont cooking supper for you is nothing compared to what you’ve endured. Now, he’s acting more like a man. By the way, Mr. Tremont has asked you to avoid walking around the garden today, as it might snow. He’s afraid that you might get sick. It’s best to avoid getting sick during pregnancy, especially when it’s not advisable to consume medicine. Now that Mr. Tremont has you and the little one in your belly, your family is complete. We’ve been hoping for this day.”Arianne remained quiet as she stared at the joy on Mary’s face. She was afraid of speaking up and dashing Mary’s hopes. Everything between her and Mark only seemed fine on the surface. To draw a comparison, the distance between them was as vast as the Great Rift Valley. Even if it were restored, would anything really be the same? How could there not be a gap?Tabitha got up surprisingly early today. Usually, she would sleep until ten in the morning in t
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 668 Granny Knows
Arianne lowered her head in silence. She did not agree with the old woman’s advice. Mark’s feelings for her may not necessarily be good luck; it felt more like misfortune. The old woman was only saying this because she was unaware of what had happened in the past. If she knew, she probably wouldn’t advise her to look ahead. Mark was the one behind all of her grievances. How could he not?Suddenly, the car jolted. The old woman’s temper immediately flared, “Hey, driver, watch it! Don’t kill us with your shaky driving! What are you doing? You’re such a bad driver!”A Tremont family bodyguard was behind the wheel. He apologized profusely after being scolded by Tabitha, “I’m sorry, I’ll be more careful…”“It’s fine,” Arianne said helplessly, “Just drive a little slower. It’s no rush.”Not long after, the car stopped in front of the address that Zoey had given Tabitha. Zoey’s residence in the capital wasn’t too far from the Tremont Estate, almost as if it was done on purpose. Of course, the
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 669 I Am Your Mother
Zoey and her husband were very attentive. One hastily helped Tabitha along while the other carried her bags. Zoey watched as Arianne left and asked, “Mother, did Arianne send you here? Why won’t she come inside and have a seat? Does she hate us for living in such a small space?”The old woman wore a sunken expression on her face as she answered, “Yes, it is beneath her. I don’t want to be snubbed, even with your good intentions. Don’t embarrass me.”Hearing this, Zoey’s husband felt that something wasn’t right, “Mother, we’re all family; it’s not like we can’t talk. Where did that come from? It’ll be the new year soon. We’ll be doing business in the capital, so we plan on staying here for a while. The kids will be on their winter holidays soon, so the whole family will be here. We might as well spend the new year in our niece’s big mansion.”Zoey agreed, “That’s right. The more the merrier.”The old woman smirked, “Don’t call her your niece like you’re on friendly terms. I can’t afford
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 670 He’s Changed A Lot
The old woman was so angry that her face turned ashen, “Your brother has been dead for many years, yet you still insist on sucking the blood out of him. Is he some kind of bloody meal to you? Are you even human? If I’d known about this, I would have chosen to have only one child for the rest of my life, instead of taking in a heartless thing like you! I might as well have raised a dog!”Zoey saw nothing wrong in her actions. In her point of view, she was the one who had suffered the most injustice. She burst into tears, “So you’ve finally said it. You’ve never treated me like your own child. You only adopted me so that someone would take care of your corpse for you, isn’t that right? That’s a business deal, not love! You think that I’m heartless, that I’m cruel. But you’re the meanest old woman! If my big brother hadn’t had any children, I admit that I’d have to take care of you, but he has Arianne. Why can’t I recount this debt? Let’s take ten thousand steps back and say that it would

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
