Semua Bab A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride: Bab 591 - Bab 600

Jackson froze. He lowered his eyes as his emotions returned to whence they came. “I’ll call my mom and apologize to her too… right in front of you. Fine?”Tiffany suddenly found Jackson inscrutable. Worried that he was only trying to make her happy by making things even harder for himself, she demurred, “Look, I didn’t say I want that. But… I guess… I guess I agree that you should give your mom a call.”Without another word, Jackson dialed Summer’s number and connected his phone to the car speaker through Bluetooth connection. When the call was through, it was loud enough for Tiffany to hear every word Summer enunciated.“Jackson? Is that you?”“I’m sorry for losing my cool just now, Mom. I won’t do it again.”“Oh. Well, it’s alright. I understand. You were acting out against your father’s display of passion, weren’t you? But surely you’re aware that art is… well, art is your father’s lifelong devotion; he can’t help but act the way he did… Listen, I’m not asking you to treat him like

Jackson had imagined their eventual confrontation to be a severe one; however, the sight of jealousy pouring out of her mien was somehow a pretty enjoyable sight. “Well, what do you think?”“What do I think?” Tiffany was on the verge of an eruption. “‘What do I think?’ I’ve been fuming at the idea for the entire evening, Buckaroo, and here you want me to think about it even more? I ain’t playing this game… You tell me yourself!”Jackson could not stop himself from laughing. “Oh, Lord, what did that brain of yours cook up, huh? Alright, I admit, I used to swing around a lot, but! My escapade never involved people of my inner circles. Perhaps you should ask Aye about this; she would tell you that I only have relationships with women outside our company. Everyone knows that I’ve never slept with any of the female employees,” he explained. “Sure, Miss Lane is bodacious, and that body is pretty damned sexy, but too bad! She is my secretary, which according to my rul — ”“Too f**king bad?” H

Tiffany was just as confused about her sudden anxiety. Her family’s affluent past had acclimated her to grand events like these, and she was never one to shy away from social interactions. However, somehow over time, the girl had begun to shrink from people-centric events.Nevertheless, Jackson and Tiffany were the stars of the show today. She could not possibly weasel her way out of attention despite herself. “I-I don’t know why. Aww… Can’t Ari be any faster? I’ll feel soooo much better if she’s around,” Tiffany murmured. “Without her, I feel so, well, vulnerable…”Jackson patted the back of Tiffany’s hand reassuringly. “God, you can’t live without Arianne, can you?” he teased. “Now, now. Have no fear, for I’m right here with you, right? In fact, let’s bring you to the lounge for a breather and a little surprise that I have in store for you.”Tiffany was secretly unexcited for whatever Jackson was gearing up to do. How could any “surprise” be of any help to her multiplying anxiety?Th

Arianne nodded curtly before springing toward the escalator to the floor below.Firm confirmations from hotel security that no elderly man had ever left the building was relieving news. After giving the security some instructions, she took the stairs and scoured floor by floor.A few floors later, she was panting hard.Mark had ordered his guards to look as well, but they were hamstrung by the need to remain discreet to avoid disrupting the ceremony.The clock was going to strike twelve soon. A few more minutes, and Tiffany, the star of the day, would have to go through the rites with Jackson, yet Old Anderson was still nowhere to be found. At this critical moment, Arianne received a call from Eric, who promptly asked, “Didn’t Tanya follow you to the Capital today? And didn’t she bring her grandfather with her?”“How did you know?” Arianne questioned. “Are you booking tables for the wedding or what? Hold on, where are you, exactly?”Eric sounded a little upset. “Does she have any idea

Mark glanced at Tanya’s grandfather and had an inkling of what happened. He curled his lips into a faint smile when he thought of Arianne’s ‘wildness’. He was surprised by this new facet of his woman. She was like a… tiny wild cat?Naya pushed the medicine box over to Mark. “Mr. Tremont, Ari is hurt as well. Please take care of it for her.”Mark used an alcohol cotton swab to disinfect Arianne’s wound.Arianne felt a piercing pain on her wound but was too shy to give voice to her pain. Mark’s handsome face was magnified before her eyes. His aura was stronger with his close proximity as he dabbed the cotton swab on her cheeks. His expression was solemn and focused. She did not know the thoughts that ran through his mind and wondered if he was humiliated by her actions.“Ari, don’t you think your rebellious stage arrived a little too late?”He was blaming her, right? Annoyed, Arianne avoided his hand. “I’m not being rebellious. I tried negotiating with that woman, but she refused to reso
