A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride novel Chapter 317

Helen took a property deed and a bank card out of her purse. “These are my savings in the Kinseys throughout these years. My divorce with Jean was amicable. The company and the house go to him while I take eighty percent of the home savings and two other properties. I’m giving you one of the houses and half of the money. I plan to open up a small company of my own with the remainder. When I die, the company will go to you. The Kinseys weren’t doing good previously despite managing to survive now with Mark’s company, so I didn’t get to take a lot away. Don’t think any lesser of it, you’re in need of money now.”

Arianne looked at the items in her hands but did not accept them immediately. The property must cost at least several hundred thousand dollars while the card must contain the same. If the Kinseys did not go through the financial crisis, the amount could be several times more. These things were useful to her currently, but she did not want them.

Regarding Helen, she only wished for this person to disappear from her world without any more connection to her. This was the extent of Arianne’s disappointment, not finding it within herself to even accept her generosity.

“Hold on to these. Isn’t this what you’ve wanted all this time? They should belong to you. I don’t need them. I only need you to vanish from my life, like how you left back then. Don’t appear ever again.”

All these years that Helen had spent in repute, she had still stumbled before Arianne. “Arianne, think of it this way. This is what I owe you. It’s a waste if you don’t take it. Don’t you hate me and the Kinseys? If you don’t take them, these will belong to your younger sister sooner or later. They’ll go back to the Kinseys. Why don’t you take them then? I won’t feel less guilty because you accepted them… so keep them.”

Helen was persuasive. Arianne had to credit her for being so skilled that she had the impulse to accept the offer. Nonetheless, the rush of impulse was fought over by her rationale ultimately.

“You’re Aery Kinsey’s mother. What the Kinseys own should be given to her. I have no comment. I’m not accepting them because I don’t think I’m related to you. I shouldn’t be taking gifts for nothing. No need to try and pull strings here. I’m tired, and I need to rest. Please leave.”

Helen did not insist on staying. She held onto the items and left. Hearing the door being closed, Arianne got up to lock it. When she stayed alone, she had the habit of locking the door from the inside. Just as she turned after locking the door, she saw the property deed and bank card left on the shoe rack. Helen had still left them with her. Slightly vexed, Arianne locked the items into a drawer.

When morning came the next day, she found a bunch of vegetables and breakfast by the door when she was heading out. The vegetables were fresh, and there were also fruits and meat. They were of a variety, all costly. The breakfast was a takeout from a deluxe restaurant too. Arianne had considered the possibility of Tiffany leaving them here, but her financial situation could never afford these. It could only be Helen.
