Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride: Kabanata 921 - Kabanata 930

‘That’s not important.”Arianne’s reply allowed Mark’s tensed nerves to relax. He only needed her forgiveness. No one else mattered. He only cared about her opinions. Hearing those words from her was good enough.“It’s not that we don’t have a conscience,” Zoey objected weakly. “It’s just that... that kidnapper said that… your grandmother died after Mark visited her, that… he was behind it. I was wondering about that myself; it was only pneumonia and shouldn’t have caused her death. Besides, it was such a coincidence… Why? Of all the times for her to die… I’m not trying to imply anything. After all, I’m not sure what exactly happened. I admit that it was my idiot husband who caused your grandmother’s illness. I’ve always wanted to divorce him, but I couldn’t do it… My son was kidnapped this time. I was left with no choice. Wouldn’t you have sent the letter too, if you were in my shoes? What parent would want to watch their child die?”Arianne was speechless. She stared at Zoey, her

Mr. Harris grew increasingly unsatisfied. “Why? We’ve always been the old woman’s caretakers. But did she give us anything in the end? Did you see the look on Arianne’s face? She’s disowned us as relatives, just because we’re poor. The Tremonts have more than enough money, yet they’re still hounding after the Wynn Mansion. Who knows what she’s thinking? She’s a woman. She’s married. So I guess we’ll have to change the Wynn Mansion’s name in the future then. That mansion should belong to Harvey. Giving the Wynn mansion to her father’s murderer. What a novel idea!”Harvey felt absolutely disgusted by his parents when he overheard all of this. “Will you stop talking? Everything in the Wynn family should belong to her anyway. Let’s set aside the fact that we’ve been caring for grandma all these years. If I remember correctly, you’ve been asking my brother-in-law for a lot of money, haven’t you, dad? At least a few hundred thousand? Mom and I haven’t seen a single cent. They’re already bei

Arianne tried to snatch the pendant back from Smore, but the baby’s hand somehow turned into a stubborn lobster’s claw and refused to let go, no matter how hard she tried to pry it open. Fearful of accidentally hurting him, Arianne gave up and relented. “Fine. It’s not returning to us until he gets bored with it. Oh, that reminds me… Uh, how’s, well, Aery?”Given a choice, Arianne would have rather not mentioned Aery at all, but she was desperately running out of topics. She could not possibly turn the rest of their “chat” into a staring competition, right?Helen, for her part, did not expect her to mention Aery of her own accord. After the shock passed, she answered, “Well, she’s currently studying abroad. To my relief, she appears to have gone back on track. See, I found her a host family whom I’ve established a close connection with so that I can monitor her every move and situation from here. Honestly, as long as she could put her mind to educating herself and not ruining her own

Jett shook his head. “Bah, don’t bother. This is a pretty nice place to stay, anyway. See? It’s got two bedrooms and sh*ts. One for each of us. I might even crash here whenever it’s convenient,” he said. “And really, there is no need to go to work, you. My work is enough for both of us, at least before that kid comes out. But that’s a question for some other time; we might not have a future, but the kid’s mine, so don’t worry too much and follow what I say. Hey, if we look past the fact that we aren’t staying together, I think we can pull off this husband-wife thing pretty fine.”A pang shot through Tanya’s chest, as though a wall closing around her heart had crumbled and crashed. For the first time, she considered Jett carefully… and found that her yearning for Jackson diminished.In a split second, she wished the arrangement between her and Jett were consensual—bona fide, genuine. She wanted a family of her own, but none of this was real. They were just foams atop turbulent waves.

Her heart gripped with tremors. “Whatever you do, don’t go home. Stay hidden nearby and don’t let them know that you’re there. Send me your address, I’m coming over with reinforcements!” Arianne replied with a tremble. She rushed into the bedroom immediately after the call. Mark had just slipped into the bathtub, naked. He smiled when she burst in. “What are you doing? I guess I can manage a good f*ck, if you really want to…”She couldn’t be bothered with feeling embarrassed at this point. “That’s not it. Something’s happened to Harvey. I think the kidnappers have gone to their hotel. That can’t be good; you need to come with me and bring reinforcements. I’m afraid that something might happen! Aren’t we trying to find out if Ethan is behind all of this? You’d better hurry. Get out of the bathtub!”Mark’s smile faltered. He put on a stern face and reluctantly got out of the tub then pulled on a robe. “Get some clothes for me. I’ll call Henry.”Arianne turned around, headed into the
