Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride: Kabanata 221 - Kabanata 230

Tiffany’s voice choked a little at the end. In order to hold back her tears, she poured herself a glass of wine and drank it all in one go. Fortunately, she was no stranger to wine and had drank her fair share of alcohol in the past. Being able to hold her liquor at least allowed her to work in this kind of place.Jackson also felt that he was getting a little emotional tonight. He took a deep breath and softened his voice. “You can treat me as a stranger and just tell me whatever you want.”Tiffany drank the wine that Jackson paid for as she muttered, “Alright, I’ll tell you if you want to hear it. It’s true that my family no longer needs to pay off any debts now, but I’m still as broke as a church mouse. After my ex-boyfriend broke up with me, he returned all the money I spent on him when we were dating. It was close to $300,000. That’s a lot of money for me. I was hoping to save enough money one day and buy a house in a good location. But my mom spent all that in just the blink of

Eric was intrigued when he noticed that Mark was catching up to him. Both of them started racing against each other until they parted ways at an intersection. Even then, Mark didn’t slow down. Arianne’s heart beat crazily as she clung to her seatbelt for dear life. “What are you doing? I’m scared…! The road is pretty dark and slippery, can you slow down?”Mark slammed on the brakes just as the car reached the luxury residential area. There weren’t many cars on this road at this hour and no cops would issue any tickets here. Arianne patted her chest for a long while to calm herself down. “Why did you decide to come pick me up? I can come back by myself…”“Come back by yourself? Do you mean getting Eric to send you home, instead?” There was jealousy in his tone.“I usually take a cab home by myself. Eric only gives me a ride on the days I work overtime. What’s wrong with that? You can just tell me directly if I’ve upset you in any way. Don’t use such an extreme method to frighten me.

“You say that nothing happened between us, but why were you sleeping in the same bed as me? Please use your brain even when you’re lying. I’m an adult and I can take responsibility for my own actions, but I just can’t stand looking at guys like you who wouldn’t take responsibility for yours!” Tiffany was extremely vexed. No matter how she looked at these details, it didn't seem like nothing had happened.“Excuse me? You were the one who didn’t want to go home or give me your home address. I had no choice but to bring you back here since I couldn’t send you home. I don’t have a bed prepared in the other rooms. This is the only room where we can sleep in this house and I’m not going to sleep on the sofa. Besides, I was dead exhausted from taking care of you the whole night. Where else would I sleep if not on the bed?” Jackson poked his head out of the bathroom while brushing his teeth as he complained to Tiffany about her over the top behavior.Regardless of whether Jackson was telling

Tiffany was a little skeptical. “Really? Then why didn’t I feel anything?”Arianne was stunned for a good while before coming back to her senses. “You mean… you’re a…? Weren’t you dating Ethan for a long time and even occasionally stayed with him? Why are you asking me this kind of question? Shouldn’t you know this better than I do?”Tiffany’s eyes dimmed a little at the mention of Ethan. “Ethan and I… never got to that stage. He wanted to wait until we got married, but who knew… Hehe… He never even thought of marrying me in the first place. Now that I think about it, he’s a decent guy. At least he didn’t completely wreck me when he was using me.”From her statement, Arianne picked out a clue. “Since you’ve never done it with Ethan, then why are you suddenly asking me about it? Tiffie, tell me the truth.”Tiffany got so nervous that she emptied half a glass of water in one breath. “Stop asking me that, Ari. I can’t tell you… I’m alright. It was just a random question. Look at me, I

Mark did not say anything, but seeing the insistence in his eyes, Arianne did not push it.On the way to the hospital, she could not help asking, “How many brothers are there in Eric’s family? Why have they gotten to this stage?”Mark tugged at his tie. “One elder sister and two elder brothers. He’s a late comer to the family… from his father’s third wife. He has a different mother from his elder siblings. It’s complicated. His old man doesn’t really regard him highly. It’s honestly not Eric’s fault. If it were me, I would have done much worse than he had.”Arianne also thought that things would not stop here if it were Mark.Arriving at the hospital, the doctor picked out the pricks in Arianne’s palm. When she saw her bloodied palm, she realized how hard she must have gone just now. After having her palm treated and bandaged, Mark wore a frown while looking at her hand. “Don’t go back to the office later. I’ll send you home.”Arianne was reluctant. “I’m fine. I still have unfinished t
