Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 160

As if sensing her emotions, Rice Ball stretched out its paw and rubbed Arianne's back. She put the cat down then walked to the window. She called Mark on her phone but quickly hung up a second before the call went through.

There was no point calling and questioning Mark right now. Whether this was personal or not, she had no reason to question him about anything related to business.

She called Will instead. “Your company was acquired by Mark? Why didn’t you tell me earlier? You called me before because of this, right? At that time, you must have been very depressed…”

In an indifferent tone, Will said, “The weak are prey to the strong. The Sivan family is inferior to the Tremont family. The buyout isn’t a surprise. I should be thankful that he didn’t go all out but instead allowed me to continue managing the company. The only difference is that I’ll be working for him. One day, I will take back whatever belongs to the Sivan family. Don’t worry about it, Ari. It’s really alright.”

Arianne bit her lips. “I believe you. Nothing can stop you, everything will get better.”

After a moment of pause, Will suddenly changed the subject. “I’m going to break off my engagement.”

Arianne was stunned. “Break off your… engagement? Why? Aren’t you making things worse by doing that at a time like this?”

Will thought otherwise. “I never liked Wendy. Now that this has happened to the Sivan family, there’s no reason for me to get the Galenas involved. Breaking off the engagement right now will benefit all parties. I don’t need to rely on a woman to carry on the Sivan family yet. Now I still have a meeting to attend, so I’ll be hanging up now.”

The call ended, and Arianne took a deep breath. No matter if it was three years ago or now, she still couldn’t protect anyone from Mark. The only difference now was that she would no longer compromise.

In the afternoon, Marry rushed into her studio. “Ari, sir is coming back for dinner tonight. Keep your cat… Rice Ball in the studio and don’t let it out. Otherwise, sir will get angry again.”

Arianne hummed in response then went out after putting enough cat food and water for Rice Ball.

The huge dining room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Mark even doubted his own ears. Was this still the same little girl who used to be so obedient to him?

For some reason, he wasn’t angry at all… Instead, he felt like they were bickering like a married couple.

By the time he returned back to his senses, he still couldn’t help thinking that this feeling was all too strange. “What could you possibly do if I were to throw it away?” he asked coldly.

Arianne looked at him and said in a serious tone, “Since Aery Kinsey is so important to you, if you are willing to compare her to my cat, then I don’t mind treating her the same way you treat my cat.”

Mark suddenly felt like Arianne was a child again. “Oh, as you please.”
