Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 356

Jude waved his hand with mild annoyance, “Don’t give me that crap. When a man has nowhere else to go and no means of survival, he can only think of how to survive by any means. If you don’t like it, that’s your business. I just want money. What do you think your father would do if word of his son from an extramarital affair ever got out? The perfect Tremont Enterprise, built from generations of Tremont blood, sweat and tears, would be gone, along with your father’s kindly image. This would definitely make headline news. If you don’t give me the money, I’ll have no choice but to sell the Tremont family secrets to the media. Then, the media will certainly help you unearth your long-lost brother, who’d come back to take half of the family fortune. You’d lose even more. I don’t want much, just give me a hundred million and I’ll be off your back.”

Mark’s face seemed to lack emotions. He picked up the phone on his desk and called Henry. Henry walked in and handed him a cheque, “Sir, are you sure you want to do this?”

Mark calmly wrote a sum of money on the cheque, “Do you have a better idea?”

Henry kept his mouth shut from then on. Jude impatiently snatched the cheque from Mark’s hand, “I always knew that you were a good nephew. Don’t you worry. I will never breathe a word about the Tremonts. Aside from your father’s bast*rd son, there are also a few rotten scandals from two generations of the Tremont family. I’ll let them all rotten in my stomach then.”

Mark curled the corners of his lips into a half-smile, “I believe that you… will let it all rot in your stomach.”

Once Jude had left, Henry spoke up, “Asking for a hundred million dollars from the moment he opens his mouth, he certainly has a big appetite. This won’t be the last time, sir. Is there a need for… special management?”

Mark gently raised his handsome brow, “What do you think? I’ve avoided doing this for many years, but he’s dug his own grave. He’s an illegal immigrant, half alive and half dead. No one would even notice if he disappears. Don’t let him into my sight again.”

“Yes,” Henry nodded.

Just as Henry opened the study door, the cup of black tea in Arianne’s hand crashed onto the ground. The glass shards shattered onto the ground. Her eyes were filled with fear and concern, “I… I was just bringing Mark his tea. I didn’t hear a thing…”

Henry’s face stiffened. He turned towards Mark, who was still in the room.

Mark rubbed his brows in frustration, “Go on ahead, Henry. It’s fine.”

Henry called for someone to clean up the mess. Arianne wanted to leave with him, until Mark stopped her, “Come here, Arianne.”
