A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 684 What’s Wrong With Grant Jackson?
It was past 7PM. Tiffany drove her car near her housing area and lingered hesitantly. The new information that the private eye had sent an hour ago kept on replaying in her mind — there was something wrong with Grant Jackson.She had initially intended on trusting her mother’s instincts or personally getting to know Grant. However, for some reason, the scales in her mind were tipped towards the detective whom she had never met. She was hesitating over whether to go upstairs and advise Lillian against dating Grant. She knew that once she said these words, there would be another war. She did not want her relationship with Lillian to return to how it used to be.After a long bout of hesitation, she typed out a message to the private eye: Is your information accurate? This is very important to me. What’s wrong with Grant Jackson? Could you please elaborate?A reply soon followed: ‘You are considered an old client of mine now. Shouldn’t you know if the information is accurate? I’ve been inv
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 685 Tiffany Makes A Move
The private eye had sent her another message — it was about Grant. The man in question may look like a prosperous business man, but in reality, he’d been in debt for ages. His offices were nothing but empty shells, and were suffering from debt. His divorce stemmed from financial difficulties too. Not too long after the divorce, he pursued her mother, Lillian. Why? Grant never showed his face when the Lane family went bankrupt. It may seem like they were closely connected, but it was really just superficial.She had a bad feeling and could not concern herself with food. She rushed out and drove her car back home.As expected, Grant was around today too. Lillian, who never liked to cook and couldn’t anyway, actually cooked today. Tiffany was shocked and upset at the same time. She’d never been able to enjoy her mother’s cooking…Surprised at her homecoming, Lillian seemed very cautious, “Tiffie, have you had dinner? Would you like to eat with us?”Grant rose to his feet and greeted her w
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 686 You Know Nothing, Lillian Lane
Tiffany rose to her feet, “Let me ask you, how well do you know Grant?”Lillian was equally enraged, “He’s known your father for many years; he’s even held you when you were a baby! How could I not know him? He’s not that good looking, but he’s a good man. Isn’t that enough? Besides, he comes from a good family background. I won’t have to worry about my future. I don’t have to rely on you for survival!”Tiffany’s rage flared up even more when she heard Lillian defending Grant, “Yes, he’s known my father for many years, but it’s all just superficial, isn’t it? He’s very ugly, there’s no doubt there, but I’m not emphasizing on looks. Let’s look at some facts; where was he when our family was bankrupt and needed help the most? He never showed his face. Don’t you think that it’s a bit too coincidental that he’s come knocking on your door now? Him? A good man? You know nothing! Did you know that he’s only been divorced for less than half a year? Did you know why he divorced? Has he told you
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 687 The Mysterious Mr. Smith
She didn’t want to disturb Arianne at this time and Tanya was staying with Eric, so it would be inconvenient for her to see her. She simply couldn’t swallow her rage at this point. She wanted to call the private detective right now and ask for Grant’s home address, then personally make Grant lay his cards down on the table. Unfortunately, Lillian had smashed her phone. She couldn’t contact anyone now.She drove for a few rounds and unwittingly ended up in front of the bar she used to frequent. At this point, all she wanted to do was to get drunk. She casually walked into the bar and found a table. Then, she ordered some liquor from a waitress. She finished a few rounds, then the waitress sent over a bottle of expensive wine before she could ask for another round, “Miss, this is from Mr. Smith. He’s asked you to slow down, don’t drink too much. It’s unhealthy.”Mr. Smith? Tiffany simply couldn’t place him, “Who is he? Do I know him?”The waitress bent down and whispered into her ear, “
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 688 A Drunken, Disappointing Night
The designated driver stepped forward to support her, “Where’s your car?”She pointed towards the side of the road, “Over there.”The designated driver was taken aback, “I’ve… never driven this car before…”All Tiffany wanted to do now was to go home and sleep, “It’s fine. Drive slowly and think of it as an average car instead of an expensive vehicle. You don’t need to pay for a thing if you bump into anything. Just make sure I stay alive.”Hearing this, the woman helped her into her car without hesitation.She thought that Jackson would have long gone to bed by the time she arrived at White Water Bay villa. Instead, the light in the downstairs living room was still turned on. When she walked in, she was faced with a sour-faced Jackson, glowering at her from the couch.She felt guilty. “Why are you still up?” she asked, with a slight lisp.Jackson didn’t answer. He walked upstairs, looking very sullen.She inadvertently saw the untouched food on the table, which he had come home to coo
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 689 Seduction And Distraction
Tiffany panicked. It was the kind of panic that could not be concealed with alcohol. She did not think that this would end up implicating her and causing Jackson’s rage, “Don’t be like this… I really wasn’t with anyone…”Jackson did not respond. Instead, he continued scowling at her. She was anxious to find a way out. Unfortunately, she didn’t have a lot of ideas. In her panic, she pushed him onto the bed, “Just trust me… Just this once… I’m not lying to you…”He pushed her away, “Get off! I’m tired. I don’t feel like fighting with you anymore.”She bent down and attacked his lips, purring through her hazy gaze, “I know you’re tired. I’m helping you relax.” Then, she slowly navigated her way down his body, pausing on his abdomen… How could Jackson possibly be bothered about his anger now? His head was screaming ‘no!’ “What are you doing? I have no interest in bloody sex during menstruation. Go to sleep if you’re drunk. We’ll talk about this in the morning!”She ignored him. Alcohol is
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 690 A “Fight” In The Office
She smacked his hand away. Memories from last night slowly trickled back into her mind. She was now completely out of sorts. She had actually done such a thing!Jackson frowned, “What? You were just apologizing, but now you’ve become hostile? I’m still angry…”She was speechless and chose to slip away, “I… I didn’t do anything wrong anyway. At least, nothing concerning. I’ve apologized, so we’re even. I’ve got work to do!” Then, she stood up and got ready to leave, but he pulled her back down, “One more time, the office is quite empty now…”She felt that he had gone crazy. This was the office, “No! Let me go! We’ll talk about this at home!”He refused to comply. He bent forward and sucked on her earlobe. His teasing nearly drove her to the brink. She struggled half-heartedly, nearly giving in. Fear brought a different kind of high. She was only afraid that someone from the office might burst in. She clearly remembered not locking the door… She was extremely red in the face when she em
A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride Chapter 691 Acute Pneumonia
Mary hid all of these details, too afraid to tell Arianne. All she said was that the old woman was having a bad cold and nothing was wrong. She waited until Arianne went back to her room before calling Mark, “Sir, something’s happened to Mrs. Wynn. Zoey Harris and her husband have pushed her into acute pneumonia; continuous bouts of fever have damaged her brain. She’s old. Even if she can be saved, there will be side effects. I can’t bear to tell Mrs. Tremont… What should we do?”Mark frustratingly rubbed the space between his brow in the office. “I knew something would happen… I understand, I’ll handle it. You’ve done the right thing. Don’t let Ari find out.”After ending the call, he told his secretary, Davy, to cancel all of his meetings for the afternoon and rushed to the hospital.The old woman was in the Intensive Care Unit. Zoey and her husband were standing watch outside, seemingly sad and desolate. Everyone was well aware of whether it was faked or not.“Mark, Ari isn’t here?”

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
