The next morning, a sudden ringing of the phone woke Ryvan up.He stretched out and answered the phone."Ryvan, this is Henry. I have just scolded Bella. As your wife, she shouldn't have kept you from going back home for sleep.”"But she didn’t..." Ryvan wanted to explain it for his wife, but was in
“ What is he talking about?” Henry asked. The old man's gaze fell on Eric, whose throat ran dry instantly. “ Father, it's obviously a misunderstanding, Eric can never do such a thing. Why would he associate with a thug like him?” Leicester sneered. “ Why not ask him what he did that brought me he
He laughed, even though he wasn't aware of what really occurred. “ It was nothing. I wouldn't just sit back and watch him cause ruckus here.” Ryvan never thought that Bruce could be shameless enough to receive praise for what he didn't do. “ Do you even know what happened here?” He asked. Bruce fell silent because he didn't know what to say, however, Eric cut in. “ You knew everything but what did you do? You only caused more trouble. Bruce was the one who scared Duke off, so stop asking silly questions.” “ He left because he was afraid of offending me!” Ryvan uttered once more. “ Do you expect us to believe that?” Lilith scoffed. “ He’s taking credit for what he didn't do: so shameless!” Malice sneered. Arabella felt ashamed and embarrassed as she heard the comments from her family. She glared daggers at him. Ryvan remained calm and collected, “ Shit!” “ Don't give me that bullshit!” Arabella couldn't hold in her anger any longer. Ryvan almost made her lose face
“ Bruce is truly kind. He is truly a respectful member of a wealthy family. He is way better than a proud braggart.” “That's totally right! Many people need to learn from him. Being humble and also from a wealthy family, is just so perfect!” “ Bruce is really a kind hearted man, so Arabella, since he said Ryvan could come along, take him with you.” Grandpa Henry said. Arabella hesitated. She didn't want Ryvan to create a mess at the banquet, but nevertheless, she agreed. As early as 7am the next morning, Ryvan received a message containing a photo which shocked him. The message was sent to him by Dave. The photo contained the girl he had asked Dave to find a few days ago. “ Mr. Ryvan, have you seen my message alongside the photo?” Dave called almost immediately after he sent the photo. “ Yes Dave, I've seen it. Did you find her?” Ryvan was so stunned. He never thought that Dave could find her so quickly merely based on the little information he had told him. “ I
“ Wow! I have never seen someone like you. I almost believed that you stayed at Sky Palace. How foolish of me,” Lilith rolled her eyes. Lilith might have mistaken Ryvan for someone else. She had thought that the person she saw in Dave’s car was really Ryvan. Ryvan sighed. It seemed that no one believed him when he told them the truth. “ Lilith, you never told me that your sister would be here too.” A man walked towards them with a short smile. Arabella turned to look at him with a surprise expression on. She recognized the young man to be Stanley, Lilith's boyfriend. “ This is Stanley, my boyfriend. His family owns $150 million dollars assets and are also into the real estate business.” Lilith said proudly. “ Wow, congratulations.” “ I have good eyes when it comes to finding a man for myself. I can't afford to suffer as it is.” Arabella felt her stomach twist, most especially when her mind flashed back to how she lost her virginity. It made her furious. “ But
Stanley staggered backwards as he was taken aback.He wanted to dodge the attack, but it was too late. The ceramic plate broke into pieces on his head.Stanley screamed as blood trickled down his head and almost immediately, he fell to the ground.“ Stanley!” Lilith shouted in horror.“ What is a black belt owner doing on the ground?” Reno sneered and kicked Stanley hard.Argghhh!!Stanley screamed again, crunching onto his stomach.“ Bastard! What have you done? Do you know who I am?” “ Fuck who you're! You shouldn't have intervened if you can't handle it.” Reno cursed.Reno was a brutal man who didn't care about people.He picked another ceramic plate from the table to break on Stanley's head.Lilith shivered in fear. She never expected Reno to be so brutal enough to injure Stanley.“ Stop!” “Enough!” Arabella couldn't stand Reno’s brutality anymore.Stanley had stood up for her when her husband didn't, so she couldn't let Reno beat him to death.“ Taekwondo? I bet you didn't lear
“ Thank you for your help earlier, Ryvan.” “ It's my responsibility to protect my wife.” Ryvan replied.Arabella frowned.“ Don't get too delusional. This marriage is just for a short while.” She replied but Ryvan shrugged.She got pissed off when he continued calling her his wife.“ Sure.”Arabella sighed, she felt guilty for misunderstanding him all this while.“ I guess you learned martial arts. You're really good.” Arabella muttered.“ Yes, I have been learning martial arts for some years now.”Ryvan had been a martial arts student for almost half of his life, so it was natural to defeat his enemies.“ I guess you also win against Bruce at the fencing match because you're good at martial arts.”She had totally misunderstood him and thought he had used some underhand tactic to win against Bruce. She felt sorry for him for the first time since they became a married couple.“ I hate competition so much because I know for a fact that I would end up winning.”“ Being a braggart again,
“ Young master Harry, what you just said is rather impossible.” Arabella replied in the most polite way she could. “ You don't get to decide, because I do.” “ No one can stop me from taking you both with me.” Harry said, his lips curved into a lopsided smile. His smile was scary and his voice domineering that it made chills run through Lilith's bones. Arabella and Lilith never expected him to be scary and filled with pride. It made them vulnerable and anxious. Turning to face Ryvan, Arabella glared at him. He was leaning on a rack inside the mall, with his two hands inside his pocket. He had been there all along without saying a word. One would think he was a total stranger who was not in any way related to Arabella. Whereas, his is her husband. He dealt with Reno and his thugs fiercely, but now that it was related to a wealthy young master, he didn't dare say a word. “ Would you mind if had a little fun with your woman?” Harry's eyes fell on Stanley. “
