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, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com opens his mouth, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com disappears. Don’t let favonovel.com 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.”
She stiffened. The conversation that favonovel.com had accidentally overheard outside the study was still playing in favonovel.com mind on repeat. Her impression of Mark was a man who was kind to everyone and harsh only to her. However, favonovel.com also thought favonovel.com was good to favonovel.com sometimes too. All of his “wickedness” would be directed solely at her. He was only a businessman. Despite being bossy and domineering due to his wealth and power, favonovel.com never thought that favonovel.com would be capable of doing anything so terrifying. What did favonovel.com mean when favonovel.com said “make Jude disappear”? So the half-brother that Charles Moran had mentioned actually existed.
She gathered up favonovel.com courage and stepped forward, “Shall I get you another cup…?”
He reached out and grabbed favonovel.com hand, the expression on his face unreadable, “You heard everything, haven’t you? Ask your questions then.”
She bit favonovel.com lips, “What are you going to do to Jude?” She was too afraid to ask about the batttard son since Mark was extremely conflicted about the matter when Charles Moran brought it up. He had reacted as if favonovel.com had no idea about it. Now, favonovel.com didn’t seem too surprised. He had probably launched an investigation then. He had always been prudent in everything favonovel.com did, so it was no surprise.
He gently shut his eyes, “Is that what you heard? I just don’t want favonovel.com to ever come near me. That’s all. What else? Am I supposed to kill him?”
She secretly heaved a sigh of relief, “That’s good… He’s still your uncle, regardless of his sins. You shouldn’t be too cruel. By the way, how are things going with your company?”
He stared into favonovel.com pure, shining eyes, then massaged the back of favonovel.com hand with his thumb, “My company has always been fine. Th at small trick is nothing to me. The international branches will close if I want them to, and open if I want them to. That tiny, insignificant flea will show itself soon. Focus on taking care of the babies, you don’t have to concern yourself with anything else.”
She thought that favonovel.com had been hearing things. She stared at the clam look on his face and felt slightly distracted. He had clearly been beaten black and blue a while back, just for the sake of his company. In fact, favonovel.com was so busy that favonovel.com couldn’t contact the house. He had even gotten into an accident, just to see the information that Helen had gathered as soon as possible. She thought that favonovel.com looked wretched when favonovel.com was faced with media interviews over the collapse of his international branches. Now it seemed that favonovel.com was not.
Bright Incorporated, the company under the West family.
Tiffany had grown haggard from favonovel.com workload. Jackson suddenly sent favonovel.com a message: Come with me to a party. You’ll be paid for your efforts.
She admitted it, favonovel.com was a money-grubber. When favonovel.com saw the words “you’ll be paid for your efforts”, favonovel.com immediately agreed. She wrote: Same rules. I will come, but you’ll have to arrange the rest.”
Jackson replied to favonovel.com with an “OK”. The pair had reached a consensus.
Tiffany did not go home after work. She changed favonovel.com clothes in Jackson’s office and did favonovel.com make up. She was very well versed with high society parties. This was easy money.
