Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1480

“Please don’t call Sylvain!” Ursula begged. “I don’t want him to see me like this. You went out for lunch with him previously, I know you’re close. That’s why I made a bad move. Rules are rules, but we have to consider human interest as well, don’t we? I can’t possibly pay Tremont Enterprises’ exorbitant penalty fee. I’ll try my best to reimburse you. Let me take him with me, okay? I’ll be honest... My husband’s going to divorce me if Sylvain doesn’t leave with me. I won’t get a thing, I’ll have to leave without a single cent. After holding up that family for so many years, I’d get nothing in the end. I can’t even imagine it. Please, help me. It’s not like Tremont Enterprises needs the money.”

Arianne felt slightly guilty when she saw Ursula in this state. Perhaps, she should not have suggested lying about the penalty? After all, the penalty was not that much. Sylvain was more than capable of paying it off. Tremont Enterprises would never make anyone sign a contract with sky-high penalty fees. It would be too unscrupulous. “Mrs. Jaark… I think it’s better if you ask Sylvain for his opinion. If he’s willing to leave with you, the process will be a lot easier. If not, no one can make him leave.”

Ursula’s eyes seemed to brighten as she said, “Really? Sylvain told me that he’ll leave with me as long as I pay the penalty fees. It’s not that he doesn’t want to leave, he’s tied to the penalty fee. I’d be ever so grateful if you let him go!”

Arianne felt a great urge to bite her tongue off. She and her big mouth, she had spoken thoughtlessly. Sylvain had used the penalty fee as an excuse because he did not want to leave, and she was the one who gave him the idea. Sylvain must have made himself very clear, and she should not have said a thing. “Uh… Maybe Sylvain was only speaking casually. There’s a possibility that he doesn’t want to leave, contract and penalty fee aside. Please leave, okay? As for the penalty, you’ll have to speak to my husband.”

Ursula grabbed Arianne’s hand. “But didn’t he just say that you have full authority? You can make the decision. I’ll give you all of my money and pay for Tremont Enterprises’ losses as much as I can, okay?”

Ursula immediately stopped sobbing when she saw Arianne had hardened herself. “I knew it. Humans are all the same, profit is king. Aren’t you treating him like a cash cow as well? He has to make the decision, you say? Those are just words to protect your own reputation.”

“How appropriate of you to use the word ‘too’,” Arianne calmly replied, “We’re not the only ones who see him as a cash cow, you’re just the same, right? It’s just such a pity that you’re manipulating him with familial sentiments. We, on the other hand, have a contract with him that he willingly and openly signed. We’re far more refined than you. Mrs. Jaark, may I ask, where were you when Sylvain was in trouble? Where were you when he was at his lowest? Sylvain would have been shut out from the fashion industry forever if it weren’t for Tremont Enterprises. His talent would have been buried in the sand too. What gives you the right to demand us to blindly give you the advantages from the bridges we’ve built and the roads we’ve repaired? Humans should be sincere, this is especially true when the other party is your son. Don’t you agree? Your husband can definitely afford the penalty fee. You just want to reap as much profit as possible with minimum effort. This way, please. Take care on your way out, I won’t be sending you off.”
