Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1676

Mark took his seat behind the desk. “What’s the matter?”

Robin promptly handed him a resignation letter. “Mr. Tremont, I know that things are looking bad for me now, which is why I… I have no problem resigning my position as long as Sylvain is safe from negative splashes. I swear, though, I’ve got nothing to do with any of this. I’m innocent! But Sylvain told me that it’s too difficult to clear my name by now, and it’s likely that the investigation has no other leads to go forward. I… I guess that means there’s no other way out, so I’ll willingly resign. I’m sorry.”

Mark stared at the resignation letter in her hand and thought for a while. “Take this back. Frankly, I’ve never even considered firing you,” he replied. “I’ve talked to Arianne just now, and we both agreed to close the chapter on this case. Neither of us are interested in continuing this investigation, and no one will mention it ever again, let alone allow it to affect Sylvain negatively. Both Arianne and Sylvain are adamant that you’re innocent, while I admit I’m quite skeptical of the finding, as well. I’m more inclined to trust your character above all else. Please, go back to work.”

Robin could not hold back her tears any longer and allowed them to trickle down her cheeks. “T-Thank you… Thank you all for believing in me. I just… I feel so wronged and angry. I’ve come to see Arianne as the sister I never had, so how can I find it in me to harm her? I don’t know who’s trying to frame me… But when they were flinging all these nasty, horrible gossips about Arianne, I fought back and lashed out at a lot of them. I know I probably made some enemies with that, and now they wanna hurt Arianne and me at the same time. Oh, it’s my fault for recklessly speaking out… Arianne told me to just let them talk, but I didn’t listen. I just… I just can’t stand it! I can’t stand seeing people hurling all this debasing and caustic crap at Arianne behind her back!” she fumed. “Do you know, Mr. Tremont? Ever since the office caught wind of your divorce, they have begun openly debasing her—d-d-defaming her! It’s ridiculous! It’s just unbelievable!”

Mark’s eyebrows furrowed. “Hmph. Sure, Arianne and I may be divorced, but to me, she’s forever the woman of my heart and the only mistress of the Tremont Enterprise. The trifling inputs and commentaries of these kinds have no place here. I’ll handle this myself, Robin. You may go.”

Robin nodded tearfully before turning to leave Mark’s office.

As soon as she was gone, he subsequently called Davy in and bristled. “Next time, if I ever hear anyone gossip about me and Arianne’s divorce or any other related but equally useless drivels, I’ll fire every single one who said a word right where they stand! Have I made myself clear?! I may have divorced Arianne, but she’s still my woman and the boss of all of you in the Tremont Enterprise. Anyone who speaks ill of her is akin to speaking ill of me!”
