Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride: Kabanata 171 - Kabanata 180

Arianne mumbled unhappily, “I’m not going. Can’t he come if he’s looking for me? Why should I go to him? I’m not the one looking for him!”Mary’s eyes widened. “Ari… isn’t… your rebellious phase a little too late? You’re turning twenty-two this year!”Arianne was rendered speechless for a while. So, in Mary’s eyes, she was going through a phase right now? She was actually exploding in silence, alright? She finally had enough of being oppressed for so many years and wanted to put a stop to that situation, okay?Upon seeing her disobedience, Mary could only report truthfully to Mark. Shortly after that, she came rushing to the backyard again with more urgency than earlier. “Ari, sir said that if you aren’t obedient, then he won’t allow you to keep the cat anymore. He meant what he meant…!”Meant what he meant? Wow. Arianne was both angry and amused. He was always overbearing like this and acting like he was superior to everyone else.She took a deep breath then turned around and wen

Arianne pressed her lips together without saying anything. Fatigued, she gradually fell asleep.Not hearing a reply from her, Mary sighed and tucked her in.Almost as if he wanted to see her make a fool out of herself, Mark came home punctually each day after work and stayed in the living room longer than he usually would.In order to avoid seeing him, Arianne mostly stayed away from the living room and only worked in the kitchen and backyard. She would only clean the living room after he went upstairs. It felt nice to stay in each other’s lane without interference.…At the same time, Tiffany was rummaging through her room in her rented home anxiously. “Mom! Did you see my bankcard?”Lillian did not pay attention to her, as she was having snacks in the living room. “No… Find it on your own. You think I’m a thief?”Tiffany turned the whole house over, but she still did not see her bankcard. No one had come to visit them either. Other than Lillian, she had no other guesses. “Mom, be hon

“Ari, why are you bleeding?”Arianne followed Tiffany’s gaze downward, but her vision was already blurry and she was beginning to hear buzzing instead of voices.Vaguely aware of her surroundings, Tiffany hailed a cab and sent her to the hospital. A few medical staff appeared in front of her, looking anxious as they pushed her into the emergency ward.She was conscious, aware that she was being laid on the operation theater, but she felt no pain nor could she speak.Tiffany paced outside the emergency ward in a state of nerves. After a while, a nurse opened the door of the emergency ward and walked out. “Are you the patient’s family? The patient is over fatigued after her miscarriage and is now suffering from blood loss due to trauma. She needs surgery. Please put in your signature if you’re her family!”Tiffany was stupefied. “I… I’m her friend. I’m not a family member.”The nurse said hurriedly, “Then call her family! The surgery can only be done with a signature. She can’t wait any

Mark took the check from Brian and threw it at the men. “Fill in however much you want.”The men were afraid at first, but when Mark told them to fill in whatever they wanted, they thought that he was a cowardly employer who used money to solve his problems. Pleased with themselves, they filled the check with what they thought was an astronomical sum of money. “We’re not cheating you,” they boasted, “Aside from damage costs, there are also fees for the mental damage on our end. It’s not an exaggeration.”Mark curved his lips into a smirk. “You should put in a higher sum because there’s also… medical fees. Put that in too.”Before the men could figure out what he had meant, they were dragged away by a bodyguard.Brian draped the coat that he had brought along around Mark’s body. “Sir, your car is damaged. I’ve had someone tow it away and brought another one for you.”Mark nodded. “I don’t know how many red lights I ran past, take care of it.”Brian glanced at the emergency room. “

Seeing that Arianne was keeping quiet, Mary said with a smile. “Ah, you’re still young. You’ve been staying by sir’s side since you’re a little girl. You’re just like a carefully cared for rose that hasn’t seen much of the outside world. Once you go out into the world and see enough people and men, you’ll understand this. Sir might not be the nicest to women, but he’s certainly not mean to them. I can see there’s something going on with Aery and sir, but if Aery had met with an accident, I don’t think he would’ve rushed to the hospital and stayed the night.”Arianne did not want to speak about this so she quickly changed the topic. “Mary, did you arrange for someone to take care of Rice Ball on my behalf? It was raining so heavily last night, and the wind was so strong. It must have been terrified, being left in the backyard.”Mary slapped her leg. “Aiyah, I forgot! I was so worried about you all night and didn’t get a good sleep. I had a nagging feeling that I’ve forgotten something.
