2024-04-02 16:19:27Several men dressed all in black got out of the car. Arnold's expression immediately changed when he saw that the person who had just arrived was not Albert. With swift steps, they immediately arrested Arnold and forced him into the car.
“Who are you? Why did you arrest me?” Arnold struggled, trying to escape.
“Shut up!”
They covered Arnold's mouth and lifted his body to get into the car. In just a short time, they managed to catch Arnold and take him away from there.
Not long after, Albert arrived there. He got out of the car and looked around to look for Arnold.
“Arnold! Are you here?” Albert exclaimed. "Where is he going? Isn't he here yet?” He didn't see anyone in the park.
Albert took his cell phone and called Arnold.
Arnold's cell phone, which was in his trouser pocket, rang. One of the men took the cell phone to see who was calling Arnold.
“Albert?”
“Let me talk to him! Please, give me the phone!” implored Arnold.
Instead of giving the cellphone to Arnold, the man slammed the cellphone and smashed it.
“No, my phone!” shouted Arnold, looking at his cell phone, which was now destroyed.
'The number you are trying to call is not reachable.' Albert frowned when he heard the operator say that. He moved his phone away from his ear and muttered in surprise. "Why suddenly can't his number be reached?"
Not long after, Albert's cell phone rang again, not from Arnold but from his family. There was a problem at home, and they asked Albert to come home immediately. Reluctantly, Albert left there, even though he still wanted to wait for Arnold.
“Shut up and quickly sign this!” The man shouted at Arnold and handed him a divorce letter.
Arnold looked at the divorce letter and shook his head. “No, I won't sign it,” he insisted.
“Quickly sign this or you will lose your life!” they threatened.
“I won't!” Arnold stood by his decision. He didn't want to give up Rachel for Victor.
They were angry with Arnold and landed a punch on his face until blood flowed from Arnold's nose. It didn't stop there; they hit Arnold's stomach and back until Arnold collapsed helplessly.
“Quickly sign this before you die!” They pulled Arnold's collapsed body and forced him to hold the pen.
“Do it quickly!”
Arnold had no other choice because the men had prepared a punch for him if he refused. His body felt very weak. He didn't have the slightest strength to fight back as the barrage of attacks continued to land on his body.
Arnold finally signed the divorce papers. They smiled with satisfaction, seeing that the letter had been officially signed.
"Our boss Victor must be so happy to see this!"
“We will definitely get a bonus from him for our good work.”
Arnold's breathing was irregular. He looked around him with blurry vision, until finally the man fainted.
"Look at this loser, it looks like he's dead," exclaimed one of the men.
He put his finger under Arnold's nose and found that Arnold was still breathing. "No, he's still alive."
“We have to throw him away before anyone sees us.” They stopped the car on a quiet street.
They threw Arnold's body to the side of the road and immediately left him. Arnold's eyes opened slowly, and he stared at his surroundings with his gaze still blurry.
"Where am I?" Arnold asked. His hands moved to feel around him, and he found no one else around. He felt like he was no longer in the car. “That means they've dumped me here,” he muttered.
With a weak voice, Arnold began to cry out for help. “Please, help me!”
There was no one to help Arnold because nobody was there. This street was an alternative road that was rarely used by people, so it seemed impossible for anyone to pass through that road in the middle of the night like this.
Arnold's body weakened again. He felt unable to endure. If he was going to die tonight, then Arnold had given up. "I'm sorry, Mr. Liam, I can't fulfill my promise to take care of Rachel," he said in a weak voice. Arnold's eyes closed, and he fainted again.
A luxury car drove down the quiet street. A 70-year-old woman grumbled at her driver.
"We shouldn't have gone down this road. This street is very quiet and looks scary," complained Elizabeth Winster, who had just returned from attending her friend's party.
“I'm so sorry, madam. I've never been down this road before. But I'm sure this is the right way," replied the driver.
The car went into the street area where Arnold's body lay. The car's headlights hit Arnold's face, and they were shocked.
“Madam, there is a corpse on this street!” The driver exclaimed in surprise.
“A corpse? Are you kidding?"
“No, madam. Look, there's a man lying on the street.”
Elizabeth looked outside the car and saw Arnold. "Stop!" she ordered.
Actually, Elizabeth was afraid to see Arnold, but somehow her heart told her to stop and look at him for a moment.
The driver stopped the car 3 meters from where Arnold was lying. “Madam, why are you telling me to stop?”
Elizabeth's gaze was fixed on Arnold. "I want you to check on that man!"
"Are you serious, Madam?"
“Quickly look at him!” Elizabeth spoke in a higher tone.
“Yes, madam.” The man obeyed Elizabeth's orders and got out of the car to see Arnold's condition.
Elizabeth also got out of the car to see the man's condition. She looked at Arnold's face with concern. “Poor young man.”
"Madam, he is alive," said the driver after checking Arnold.
“Good. Quickly get him into the car!”
Elizabeth's order made the driver frown. “Sorry, but I don't think bringing him with us is a good idea. What if he is a criminal?” he argued.
“And what if it turns out he was the victim of a hit-and-run? Looking at his face, I don't think he's a criminal," Elizabeth insisted.
The driver looked around and saw no signs of anyone else there.
"Okay, Madam, I will take him into the car." Reluctantly, he obeyed his mistress's orders.
Arnold was taken into the car. Throughout the way, Elizabeth continued to look at him with concern. She was so sure that Arnold was not a criminal, just like her heart said.
They immediately took Arnold to a private hospital owned by the Winster family. The hospital was only used by the Winster family and was not open to the public.
The next day, Arnold slowly opened his eyes and looked around in confusion. His vision, which was initially blurry, slowly returned to normal. Looking at the roof of the hospital room, Arnold was sure that he wasn't lying on the street anymore.
"Where am I? And Albert? I have to meet him immediately.” Arnold sat up and was about to get out of bed, but the nurse came and stopped him.
“Where are you going?” asked the nurse as she walked closer to Arnold. "You're in the hospital."
“I have to go now to meet my friend. He must be waiting for me," said Arnold.
“No, you still have to rest. You're still weak." The nurse calmed Arnold and laid him back down.

The woman's gaze fell on Arnold, and she smiled.Arnold, who didn't know who the old woman was, just smiled back."Madam Elizabeth, he just woke up a few minutes ago," reported the nurse."Thank God," responded Elizabeth."Madam Elizabeth?" Arnold muttered.“Hey young man, how are you? Are you feeling better?” asked the old woman.“I'm better now; thank you, Madam Elizabeth. So, you brought me here?”“Yes, I found you lying on the road unconscious. What happened? Why did you get hurt?" Elizabeth looked at Arnold with worry in her eyes.“Some men beat me, madam.

Arnold smiled bitterly as he shook his head slowly. “What do you say, madam? There is no way I'm your grandson. Someone in the past must have accidentally found this necklace and given it to me. Who knows, the caretaker of the orphanage might accidentally find it," he dismissed the old woman's statement.Elizabeth shook her head. “No, Arnold. You really are my grandson! You are Arnold Winster, my grandson who was lost as a baby. At first, when I saw your necklace in that room, I thought the same as you. But after seeing the birthmark on your arm, there's no mistaking it; you're my grandson!” She exclaimed while holding Arnold's arm tightly, as if she were afraid of losing her grandson for the second time. Her voice was so emotional.Arnold's lips trembled. He couldn't say anything because he still couldn't believe what had happened.“Arnold, you are my grandson. We really missed you, dear," Elizabeth whined, tears streaming down her cheeks.Arnold's heart skipped a beat. He looked at

They started whispering to each other and laughing at Arnold.“Look at that loser; he has no shame in coming to this hotel again. What does he want to do?”"Look, isn't he the man who ruined Victor Galvoir's proposal last night?"“Yeah, you're right. He was the one. What happened to him? Why is his hand bandaged?”"If I were that woman, I would also choose Victor instead of spending my life with a loser."Laughter could be heard from various corners.

Where have you been? I came to the park last night, but you weren't there. Is everything okay?” There was worried evidence in his tone."Yes, Albert, everything is fine. Last night, there was a little trouble, but it was that trouble that brought me luck. I'm very grateful, even though what happened last night was quite painful," explained Arnold. He smiled faintly.

Arnold has arrived at the building where the party was being held. The driver immediately got out of the car and opened the door for his master. Arnold's appearance looked different compared to the other guests. His hand, which was still bandaged, didn't allow him to wear a tuxedo, so he wore a black, short-sleeved shirt with black trousers. His appearance was very simple.When Arnold arrived at the entrance, the doorman immediately looked at him with probing eyes. He looked more like a waiter than a guest. If he was a waiter, then he shouldn't have entered through the door specifically for guests."Hey, what are you doing here?" snapped the doorman.Arnold stared at the man sharply. Without saying a word, he showed the invitation he had brought. The doorman's expression immediately changed. His face turned pale.“So-sorry, I thought you were a waiter.

“Come on, Sebastian!” Elizabeth invited her grandson and Sebastian to leave. They were leaving people curious because there was no explanation from Elizabeth.Eric continued to stare at them, who were leaving, until they had disappeared from his sight. "It's possible that stupid guy is Elizabeth Winster's servant," he muttered.Arnold was invited to a room not far from the ballroom. The servants immediately lowered their heads when Arnold and Elizabeth arrived. They entered the room, and their arrival was greeted by a man sitting in a chair with his back to them.Realizing they had arrived, the man got up from his chair, and his gaze immediately looked towards Arnold.His eyes were sparkling with tears.

Arnold snorted. What repay favors was Eric talking about? The man and his wife tortured Arnold, and they just threw him away. They have also caused pain in his body and left trauma, but they talk about repaying favors? How funny. Arnold sighed heavily before speaking. He tried to respond to the man in front of him with a calm attitude. “Mr. Johansen, you and your wife were the ones who chose to adopt me, and then you tortured me. I will never forget that for the rest of my life, so now don't ever talk about repaying favors because it's so ridiculous!” he exclaimed.“I don't understand why someone like Elizabeth Winster would employ you as her servant. Doesn't she know who you are? If she knew who you were, she would definitely fire you straight away.”“Watch your mouth, Mr. Johansen!” Arnold exclaimed while pointing at Eric.Eric grinned. “You don't even have a family, Arnold. It seems like your parents deliberately threw you into an orphanage," he teased.Arnold's hands were clenche

Seeing one of Elizabeth's servants nearby, Eric and Gabriel approached the man. He wanted to ask directly about the relationship between Arnold and Elizabeth.“Do you know who the young man is with Mrs. Elizabeth Winster?” Eric asked.The man nodded. “Of course I know who he is, sir. But I can't tell you."“Is he a servant?”The servant shook his head. “No, sir. He is not Madam Elizabeth's servant.”"So what? Mrs. Elizabeth Winster is his sugar mommy?” Gabriel asked bluntly.Eric immediately glared at his son and stepped on his shoes. He shouldn't have asked Elizabeth's servant like that, because if Elizabeth was offended, then everything would be over.“What do you mean, sir? Of course, Madam Elizabeth didn't hire a young man for such things. But what is clear is that he is not Madam Elizabeth's servant!" The servant answered firmly, and with an annoyed face, he immediately left there.After the party ended, Eric and Gabriel immediately left the building. Eric's gaze was still scannin

Let her go!” she demanded.William smirked. “Elizabeth, nice to see you, cousin.”Arnold’s jaw dropped. “Cousin? What?”“I don’t understand why you did this to us. You suddenly left the Winster family and disappeared for more than 2 decades. But now you reappear in our lives and kidnap my grandson's girlfriend,” Elizabeth asked in surprise.A mix of anger and revenge in William’s eyes. “I just want to see your grandson suffer.

Arnold stopped his car in front of a building. He was sure he had arrived at the address that appeared during the search process earlier."Be ready boys!" said Arnold looking at Alastair and Carlos.The two men nodded with bulletproof vests and pistols ready to protect them.Not only them, but Charles was also in the car. Arnold told Charles to stay in the car to keep watch.Arnold, Alastair, and Carlos alighted from the car and rushed into the building area by climbing the fence.As the first bodyguard of the Winster family, Carlos showed his abilities by leading this journey.

The first search process carried out by Charles was by using the kidnapper's car license number. He accessed a secret website, where the website could display information from the location of a vehicle just by typing the car license number.To be able to access the website, someone must have a special license that will not be given to just anyone. Charles, who was experienced as an assistant to rich people, has access to the website.Arnold sat next to Charles to see the search results. Charles typed the car license number, and in seconds information appeared on his laptop screen."Oh God, this person is someone with great power, so location information based on the car plate of his vehicle cannot be accessed. This also applies to the Winster family, sir," said Charles."Then, can you use another method to track their whereabouts?" Arnold asked hopefully."I'll try with Angela's phone number."Because Angela's number is inactive, the search process will take longer because to see the

Where are you now?” Arnold asked a second after the call connected.“I just got out of the building. After this I will order a taxi to take me home,” Angela replied.With concern, Arnold offered. “How about I pick you up and take you home?”She shook her head, although Arnold could not see her gesture directly. “Thank you, babe, but I can go home by myself.”“But—”“Don’t worry, babe. I’ll be fine, trust me,” Angela assured.“If you say so, then I trust you, honey.”“Good.”“My dear, I want to invite you to have dinner with my grandmother. She is in New York right now,” Arnold invited.Angela couldn’t contain her excitement. She felt like jumping up and down with joy. Sh

Rachel’s jaw dropped. She still couldn’t believe what she saw. She looked at her phone screen to make sure the number was calling her.“It’s my mysterious investor’s number. But why?” Rachel exclaimed while rubbing her head in frustration.Arnold smirked. He brought his phone to his mouth. “Why are you so surprised, Ms. Rachel Aderwin? What do you expect from this mysterious figure?”“No way!” Rachel ended the call that very second.She stared at Arnold with a sharp gaze. “Don’t try to fool me, Arnold! This can’t be real! You must be using a trick and trying to pretend to be my investor,” she accused.Arnold chuckled. “Why would I do that? Why would I trick you?”Rachel took a deep breath. She still couldn’t process what was happening here.Arnold’s gaze shifted to his phone, and he seemed to be typing a message.“Just wait and see, Miss Aderwin. You will see the truth,” Arnold said as he smiled slyly.“What are you going to do?” Rachel exclaimed as her eyes darkened.An incoming call

I’m very happy to be able to interact with you guys. After this, I promise to show you beautiful places through my stream.”Arnold felt bored watching Rachel’s stream because there was nothing interesting to catch his attention.

Arnold had arrived home. His heart was still beating fast remembering that tonight he had been in an official relationship with Angela. Walking down the corridor, Arnold checked on his grandmother in her room.He opened the door slowly and saw that his grandmother had fallen asleep. "I can't wait to see you meet my future wife," he muttered.He closed the door to her room slowly and then walked to his room. Once inside, Arnold took off his formal clothes and changed into his pajamas.While lying on the bed, suddenly his cell phone on the table rang. A bright smile formed on his lips when he saw that the person calling him was none other than Albert. He had not communicated with his best friend for about a week."Hi, Arnold!" Albert's voice was heard a second after the call was connected."Albert, I'm glad you called. I just got back from my friend's party.
