Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 138

Mark nodded then frowned. She had only just healed a while ago, how could she have suffered from such severe anemia all of a sudden?

He made a call back to Tremont Estate. Butler Henry answered the call. “Tell the kitchens to buy more blood nourishing vegetables.”

Henry acknowledged the order and ended the call. Mark’s gaze returned to his work documents.

“I’ll be on my way then,” said Brian in a low voice.

Mark nodded. A knock was suddenly heard on his office door. Brain opened it. When he saw Aery, he frowned but didn’t say a word. Instead, he left immediately.

Aery walked into the office. Her heels made a lofty noise as she moved. Mark frowned. “What are you doing here?”

Aery pouted pitifully. “Mark, darling. I know that you’ve been busy, so I haven’t had the nerve to disturb you. But I miss you… I was passing by your office and thought I’d come and see you. I won’t disturb you. Continue your work. I’ll leave in a bit…”

Mark shot her an indifferent look. “If you have something to say, say it.”

Seeing that he had seen through her, Aery stopped trying to hide her intentions. “Mark, darling… Have you given any thought to the collaboration that my mother and I discussed with you during our last visit to your house?”

Mark didn’t answer. Aery turned around and left with a heart filled with hatred. When she arrived downstairs, she pulled out her phone and called Helen. “It’s not that I haven’t tried, but the partnership isn’t happening. If you’re looking for anyone to blame, try Arianne, your wonderful daughter!”

On the other end of the call, Helen massaged the space between her brows, feeling a headache. “Aery, don’t drag your sister into every single thing. I already expected the outcome of our partnership. The Kinseys’ sources for funds are close to an end. Under these circumstances, Mark only needs to do some research to refuse a collaboration with us. That’s why I asked you to plead for sympathy. You’ve been with Mark for quite a while, yet you’ve never been able to influence him. You should take some time out and reassess yourself!”

Aery’s chest rose and fell rapidly from her immense rage. “Hehe… At the end of the day, I’m always in the wrong. Isn’t that right? If Arianne never existed, I’d be the only one in Mark’s eyes. Why’d you give birth to her? Mark doesn’t even want to see me. I’ve lost his favor. I can’t help the Kinsey family. If you’re so protective of Arianne, tell her to convince Mark into cooperating with us. Don’t put your hopes on me anymore!”

Helen immediately ended the call. She was sorely disappointed in Aery.
