Angeline straightened her back and smiled at Arnold. She tried to give Arnold the best first impression she could. Her gaze shifted to Arnold's bandaged hand.

“Sorry, what happened to your hand?" Angeline asked. Worry was evident in her tone.

One of Arnold's hands was holding his bandaged hand. "I had a motorbike accident," he lied. Of course, he didn't want to discuss the dark incident of that night with strangers like Angeline. Even though Angeline was his business partner, she was not someone close to Arnold.

“I'm so sorry for that. Next time, you have to be more careful.”

“Thank you so much, Ms. Angeline.”

“You don't need to call me formally like that. Just call me Angeline," requested Angeline.

“Okay, Angeline. Then call me Arnold.”

Angeline's cheeks immediately turned red when Arnold dropped his formal address. This meant she could get closer to the man.

“Arnold, what do you do in your spare time? What are your hobbies?" Angeline asked.

“I usually spend my time reading books in

There will be many famous people attending the party, one of whom is Victor Galvoir.”Arnold's eyes immediately widened when he heard the man's name. “Victor Galvoir?”"Do you know him?"“No, I don't know him.

    Albert opened the document thrown by the manager, and he found that it was a document he made. He gulped harshly and spoke in a confused tone. “Mr. Donald, what happened? I don't feel like I've done anything wrong," asked Albert.Donald pulled one of his lips into a grin. He laughed at Albert, who felt innocent."Look at the documents and offers you have made, Albert. You can't make a deal with a client because of this. I've been paying attention to the performance of the staff for the last 3 months, and you are the most passive staff! You can't work well. I've tried to give you a chance to prove it, but you really can't do it well. So I decided today is your last day working here!” The statement that came out of the manager's mouth shocked Albert. This was the worst news for Albert today.Even though Albert's work performance for his manager was very bad, he had tried his best. What's more, in the last 3 months, Albert's mother often went to the hospital emergency room, and sometimes

    Arnold saw a woman being dragged by a man in his late 30s. The man's gaze was focused on the woman, so he didn't notice Arnold's presence who was standing not far from them."Come on, dear. You don't need to act like that. I will give you everything you want if you obey my wishes," said the man persuading her. They walked towards a warehouse, which was located near an emergency stairs."No, let me go!" shouted the woman in a hoarse voice. It seemed like the woman had lost her voice from screaming too much, but no one came to help her until Arnold finally found them.Hearing the man's words made Arnold think that the man must be planning something bad for her. He would not allow that vile plan to be carried out.“Get your hands off her, jerk!” Arnold exclaimed.Arnold's voice made them turn around. The man frowned when he saw Arnold's presence. Meanwhile, the woman looked at Arnold with hope in her eyes. “Help me, sir; please free me from him! He wants to rape me,” the woman pleaded.

    Amancio immediately kneeled at the manager's feet with a pitiful face. He begged him not to be fired from his job.“Please sir, don't fire me. I admit all my mistakes, and I promise this will not happen again," he promised.“No second chances for you!” shouted the manager as he kicked Amancio's body until the man fell to the floor. "Now get out of here quickly because this isn't your place to work anymore!" he ordered in a high tone.Amancio had no other choice but to obey the manager's orders. He no longer has a position here and inevitably has to leave there now.“Sir, but please give me a chance by not making my name bad. I still need work elsewhere. If all companies hear about my bad image, then no one will want to accept me," implored Amancio, cupping his palms in supplication. Tears welled up in his eyes, showing how remorseful the man was.The manager glanced at Arnold. If Amancio's name was tarnished and he ended up not being accepted to work at any company, then surely the pe

    "You must pay for your actions!" shouted the man as he immediately fired a bullet at Arnold.Arnold swiftly avoided the bullet, and the bullet stuck in a tree. The man gritted his teeth in anger because his attack missed. Seeing the opportunity to leave, Arnold immediately ran. Arnold wanted to run towards the Blackpearl Luxury Realty office, but the man blocked his way.Arnold had no other choice but to enter an abandoned park. The man fired bullets brutally, but as seen from his shots not being on target, he was not a skilled shooter or someone who was skilled at using weapons. He looked more like someone who was an amateur or was just using a gun for the first time.He continued running after Arnold while firing bullets, until the gun no longer fired bullets. He was out of bullets.Arnold took cover behind a tree while watching the man check his gun.“Who is he actually? What does he want from me?” Arnold muttered under his breath.The man was furious and then threw the gun to the g

They immediately approached Arnold with worry. “Arnold, what happened?” Elizabeth asked as she held her grandson's arm.“I'm okay, Grandma. It's just a small wound," replied Arnold in a calming tone. He didn't want his grandmother to panic."What happened to him?" James' gaze turned to Charles, as Arnold did not give a clear answer.“Amancio Connor, the former chief accounting manager of Blackpearl Luxury Realty, attacked Young Master because he had fired him,” explained Charles.“That's so outrageous! Where is he now?" James asked in an angry tone. He didn't question why Arnold fired Amancio. He believed his nephew fired Amancio for an acceptable reason.James was more worried about Arnold's condition because he didn't want anyone to hurt his nephew. He considered Arnold like his own son.“He's been taken to the police station, Master.

    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.

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

    “It just belongs to someone who has business with my friend. My friend has a grudge against him, and I want to help him get back at that person,” Daniel explained.“Do you know who that person is?” William’s voice sounded impatient.Daniel frowned.
