Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride




Arianne was getting increasingly curious over how that aviation incident happened. Knowing her father, he would never pilot under inebriation. Her father had always been a highly competent captain and was a good, responsible father. Always!

Suddenly, they were interrupted by the secretary's voice from outside the office, "Mr. Tremont, a Mr. John Lane has asked to see you. We've tried to make him leave, but he has refused. He's caused an unsightly ruckus in front of the office."

John Lane was none other than Tiffany's father.

"Mark, please let him come and speak... I'm begging you..." Arianne pleaded.

Mark gritted his teeth and released her. "Let him in!" he snapped.

Before she could relax, he splashed a bucket of cold water over her hopes when he smirked and said, "Just because I've agreed to see him, doesn't mean that I'll help him! Won't this uncertainty crush all of his hopes?"

He looked extremely terrifying in this state... Destroying a man's hopes at a time like this was equivalent to forcing him to his doom, prodding him into ending his life...... People who ended their lives after being consumed by the exhaustion of bankruptcy and debt were a dime a dozen. The thought of this made her feel as if all of the strength in her body had disappeared. She pulled his arm weakly and pleaded, "Don't do this... Please..."

Mark did not respond. His lack of response made Arianne very nervous.

Soon, John Lane rushed in.

Even at a time like this, he still remembered to maintain his dignity. Despite his anxiety and appearance, which had grown so haggard that he didn't look like himself, he knocked on the door first, then steadily walked in.

"Mr. Tremont... Thank you for giving me a chance to see you," he said. "I'm here to talk about the case involving the loss of materials. Could you please give me more time and wait for the police to solve the case? I understand that it will be impossible to continue our collaboration, even if we manage to regain the materials. This delay has caused immeasurable losses for you, so I will give you all of my family's fortune as compensation. Is that alright?"

Mark did not give an immediate response. He walked towards the sofa and sat down, as if in deep thought.

Arianne quickly poured two glasses of water, then placed one in front of Mark, and gave the other to John Lane. "Have some water, Mr. Lane."

John Lane forced a smile and replied, "Thank you."

Arianne was saddened when she saw the white hairs on John Lane's head. "No need for that... Mr. Lane. Tiffie and I are the best of friends, she's treated me like family..."

Although John Lane hadn't met Arianne Wynn prior to this, he could guess who she was. After all, Mark had pressured him because of her. That was why he sent his daughter, Tiffany, out of the country.

He smiled quietly and walked

towards Mark, standing in front of him, "Mr. Tremont, I've given my life's blood to the workshop. I'll. finished without your generosity. Please help me just this once and I'll do anything! Just tell me your conditions. I'll be satisfied even if it means I must give up my life!"

Mark glanced at the plain boiled water on the coffee table and frowned. Arianne knew that he didn't like it, so she hurried off to the pantry to find some black tea.

When she returned from making the

black tea, she overheard Mark

saying, "I can be generous,

considering that your daughternet

been nice to my Arianne. I can waive the penalty fee, as long as you manage to regain the goods. I can also ignore looking into the losses caused by your delay. I'm afraid it's impossible for us to work together again, as I never walk the same path after a fall. As for the rest, you'd better pray for yourself. Let me put it this way-if you cannot regain the goods, you will have to pay." Content belongs to Novelxo.org

John Lane was so grateful that he almost fell on his knees. "Mr. Tremont, thank you... Thank you... I will do my best to find the goods. It's only a matter of time!"

Arianne felt something bloom in her heart. Deep down, Mark wasn't really all that ruthless, was he? She walked in and placed the black tea in front of Mark. "I just made this. Be careful, it's hot." Content belongs to

Mark picked up the teacup and took a sip. He did not look at her.

"Mrs. Tremont." John Lane turned to Arianne. "Tiffie is lucky to have a friend like you. It is the Lane family's fortune as well! I won't disturb you any longer. Thank

you!"

Arianne escorted him to the door, watched him leave, then turned back into the

office.
