Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1479

Arianne chuckled sheepishly. “I’m sorry, my… uh… office’s air-conditioning isn’t working properly so I’m here to use yours. I happen to have some free time.”

Mark looked at her skeptically. “How’s that possible? We just had the office’s air-conditioning checked last month. I’ll have someone take a look at it later. I’m in the middle of a discussion. Enjoy the cool air, don’t interrupt.”

Arianne promptly sat on the couch, sneaking a look at Mark and Ursula from time to time. She was not sure what Mark and Ursula had talked about prior to her arrival so she could only play by ear.

Without any warning, Ursula suddenly fell to her knees. “Mr. Tremont, Mrs. Tremont, please let Sylvain go. I really need him, we can’t afford the penalty. I don’t know how I’m going to live if he doesn’t come with me…”

Arianne jumped in fright. Since Ursula was nearer to her, it seemed like she was kneeling to her. “Mrs. Jaark, please get up. What are you doing?”

Mark was obviously repulsed by Ursula’s actions. He said icily, “Not happening. You won’t even pay the penalty but you want to take him away? How could an outstanding man like Sylvain have a mother like you? Shouldn’t it be his choice to stay or leave? Arianne, please tell Sylvain to handle this. I have a meeting, and I don’t have time. I’ll let you deal with this. Do whatever you want.”

Arianne had no choice but to agree. Mark was not a sentimental man when it came to business. He could not be bothered with ugly dramas. She waited for Mark to leave before she helped Ursula to her feet. “Don’t do this. It’ll make things very difficult for Sylvain if he finds out.”
