Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 159

Before he could speak, Jackson clicked his tongue. “I will find a way to settle the incident about you getting ‘cuckolded’. I wouldn’t want your partners to feel sorry for you every time they sign a contract with you. Our Mark Tremont’s reputation is important!”

Mark shot a glare at him. “Shut up!”

Jackson responded with a teasing smile instead. “I think… you shouldn’t piss her off. She used to be like a little bunny that you could rib and roll around. I didn’t expect her to be this scary once she finally snapped.”

Mark waved his hand dismissively. “Alright, get out of my room now.”

Jackson burst into laughter. “Hahaha… okay, okay. Seems like our Mark Tremont is going to sleep in the office tonight. How pitiful. I shall take my leave now and run into the arms of a beauty.”

The next day, Ellie Amore walked in as soon as Mark came out after tidying himself up in the office lounge. “Mr. Tremont, Mr. Sivan is here.”

He straightened his tie with a frown. “Show him in.”

Ellie nodded then turned and left. Shortly after that, Will Sivan entered his office. He still had the injuries from the car accident on his face, which were striking in Mark’s eyes. “The name of the Sivan family’s former company shall remain unchanged. You will be the manager. If you aren’t comfortable with this arrangement, I can replace you with someone else, as the amount of shares you guys are holding right doesn’t amount to anything in my eyes. Are you following?”

When he was young, his father said to him, “You are only truly good if others think you are good. It doesn’t matter whether you are truly a good person. Humans are visual creatures. You are what they perceive. This is the reality. The Tremont family cannot afford to be criticized by others, even if it means wearing a thousand masks until you forget who you truly are.”

Due to these words, he learned how to speak and act carefully. His father had many siblings, but he was able to stand out from them and inherit the family business through such a method. Mark ended up living his life in the manner he once hated the most.

The acquisition of the Sivans’ properties by the Tremont family caused an uproar in the business world. Arianne was scrolling on her phone with Rice Ball in her arms when she saw this news, stunning her. Recalling Eric and Tiffany’s reaction when she asked about Will, she realized that she was the only one who hadn’t been aware of this...
