Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 272

No one understood what she meant. The eldest son’s wife could not stand her sister-in-law’s despicable methods and said disdainfully, “Don’t drag your unsightly affairs into this. Lest we end up penny-wise and pound-foolish.”

The second son’s wife glared at her, “What are you saying? What unsightly affairs? I’m suggesting we convince Mark’s wife to betray Eric. At that time, Eric would definitely sever ties with Mark. If Eric has a problem with Mark’s wife, Mark will certainly have a problem with him. At that time, we can take advantage of it to smooth things over and lure Mark to our side. I’m sure Mark won’t mind working with us to seek revenge from Eric!”

The eldest son’s eyes lit up. “Dad, I don’t think that’s a bad idea. Lily is still in Glide. I’ll have a talk with her so we can start our plan from there. Mark’s wife might not betray Eric, but Lily can do it on her behalf. What do you think?”

Mr. Nathaniel nodded heavily after some thought. “That’s the only way now. I’ll leave this to you. I’d be less worried if you’re in charge.”

The second son was annoyed. “Why should he be allowed to carry out our plan? You’re biased, dad!”

Mr. Nathaniel glared at him. “You can’t do anything except licking the plates clean. Shut up!”

…

Glide Designs.

After lunch, everyone else gradually returned to the office. At this moment, Arianne had woken up as well. She instinctively glanced at Lily’s desk. Usually, Lily would have been back ages ago. Working hours would begin in five more minutes, but she was nowhere to be seen. It was not like she was intentionally keeping track of Lily’s movements, but she felt wary ever since Eric told her Lilu had been sent by the Nathaniel family. Although Eric said Lily was currently working for him, she still could not help but keep an eye on her.

This time, Lily was fifteen minutes late. This would not be unusual if it was someone else. However, for the industrious and conscientious Lily, it was weird.

Naturally, Arianne did not make a fuss about it. Lily was a supervisor. Not even Eric would pick on her if she were late, much less anyone else.

By the time Arianne arrived home from overtime at the office, it was past ten at night. Mark was not home yet, and the Tremont Estate felt lifeless. The lights did not seem bright enough, and she felt strangely empty.
