Arnold lay down on the bed after all his business was finished. He had a pretty rough day today. When he was about to close his eyes, Arnold remembered Albert. He took his cellphone, which was on the nightstand, and opened his chat room with Albert. There has been no reply to the message from his friend.[Arnold: Albert, is everything okay? How is your mother?] Arnold sent a message to his best friend.Arnold sighed heavily and was about to put his cellphone back, but suddenly an incoming message notification appeared on the BeYou app. He opened the message, and his eyes widened when he found out the new message was from @racheladerwinreal.“Rachel?” Arnold muttered.[Rachel: Good night. Thank you very much for gifting me two emeralds. Sorry if I bother you. But if you don't mind, may I know who you are?]Rachel was initially hesitant to ask him directly for his identity. She had even told Amelie to secretly find out about the owner of the account, but the search was fruitless. Amelie
A maid took Arnold to a wardrobe room specially made for him. The room was extremely spacious and luxurious. All the latest and best types of men's clothing were there. Of course, the clothes only used the best materials, which were from luxury brands. Not only clothes, but complementary fashion items such as accessories, shoes, and watches were also completely available.Unknown to Arnold, the room was just finished yesterday. Previously, Elizabeth had prepared for Arnold a wardrobe room, but it was not as good as the new one. Elizabeth has even recruited a famous designer to help Arnold.Arnold's arrival was greeted by a bespectacled woman in her late 30s. She smiled and bowed her body in respect to Arnold.“Good morning, Young Master. Let me introduce myself. I'm Anna, and I'm your fashion designer.""Nice to meet you, Anna," Arnold responded with a small smile."Okay, Young Master, the maid has informed me that you will be attending a birthday party with a masquerade theme tonight
Albert's hands were shaking, and he still couldn't believe what his eyes were seeing. “Two hundred thousand dollars? Arnold Winster?” Albert's surprised expression turned into curiosity. He has been friends with Arnold since they were 15 years old.Albert knew very well that Arnold had no surname, and the Aderwin family strongly objected to Arnold taking the name Aderwin as his last name.“Who is Arnold Winster?” Albert muttered.Albert immediately made a call.“Arnold, who is Arnold Winster? Is that you?” Albert asked. Impatience was evident in his tone.Arnold chuckled. "Yes, that's me. That is my new name.”“Where did you get that much money?” Albert immediately asked about the money. Albert was actually very curious about Arnold suddenly having a surname, but he put the question aside.“Where I get the money is not important. What is clear is that it is my own money. You can use it for your mother's surgery," explained Arnold.Albert's eyes were sparkling with tears. He couldn't b
Victor and Rachel put on their masks, and then they alighted from the car. Rachel took Victor's arm and walked with her chin up. Her pride was in her fiancé. Victor was the richest man who came to this party. It was certain that Rachel won the competition among her friends.They walked towards the entrance with arrogant steps. Two doormen were tasked with checking guest invitations, and one doorman was tasked with announcing the names of guests who had just arrived."Welcome, Mr. Victor Galvoir and Ms. Rachel Aderwin!” the doorman announced.Applause was heard after their names were mentioned. Victor and Rachel were about to enter the ballroom, but their steps stopped when they saw a luxury car that had just arrived. All eyes were focused on the car.“Wow, isn't that the Buggati La Voiturre Noire?”“Who is the person in the car?”"Whoever he is, he must be a bigshot!"Victor's expression turned spiteful just by looking at the luxury car. He didn't expect that someone would come to thi
The three doormen looked at each other when they saw the arrival of the man and his bodyguards. They didn't have a clue who this man was. What's more, all of Serafina's invitees have entered the ballroom. There should be no more guests coming.Even though he was suspicious, the door guard still showed his professionalism by greeting the man well.“Welcome, sir. Can you show me your invitation?” asked the doorman.The man glanced at one of his bodyguards, and the bodyguard handed the doorman an invitation.The doorman looked at the invitation carefully and saw no irregularities. The invitation he was holding was exactly the same as the other invitations. The guest's name on the invitation was "Antonie Gatsby".“I think all the guests have arrived. But why is there still one invitation left?” muttered the doorman in wonder.“What are you all waiting for? Why does it take so long just to check the invitation? You have kept my master waiting for a long time!” The bodyguard bluffed and gla
Arnold sipped his wine while looking at the watch on his wrist. It's been an hour since Louissa went to the toilet, and she hasn't come back. Worry began to creep over Arnold. Louissa was not his girlfriend or the woman he liked, but she was Arnold's responsibility because she came there with him. Arnold had to make sure Louissa was safe. Arnold decided to go to the toilet. He was afraid that Louissa would faint in the toilet. He was forced to enter the women's toilet area to check whether Louissa was still there or not. But when he got there, there was no one in the toilet; even all the toilet doors were open. Arnold took a deep breath as he took his cell phone from his pocket. He tried calling Louissa, but her number was out of reach.“I feel something is odd. Why did Louissa suddenly leave the party?" Arnold asked to himself. He rushed to leave the venue and wanted to check on Louissa at her apartment. Who knows, that woman might be there. When Arnold arrived at the entrance of th
After finding Louissa in the toilet, Antonie forced her to go with him. Louissa rejected his advances, but he threatened to destroy Louissa's career and even attacked her family. This frightened Louissa, considering how powerful the Gatsby family was in the business world.She didn't want anything bad to happen to her family. This forced Louissa to want to go with him. When leaving the party venue, Antonie took Louissa's cell phone and turned it off.Louissa left Serafina's party as she cried. Antonie had warned her to be quiet and not show any suspicious behavior in front of the people there, even though Louissa's cries were proof that she couldn't lie about her fear.Antonie took Louissa to the Blue Summer Hotel, a five-star hotel that belonged to the Gatsby family. He took Louissa to a presidential suite, with high privacy and security there. He was sure no one would catch them there.Arriving at the presidential suite, Antonie started drinking and forced Louissa to do the same. Lo
Louissa looked at Arnold weakly; she looked dazed. "Arnold, I'm afraid," she said in a weak voice.“There's nothing you need to be afraid of. You are with me now. He won't hurt you," responded Arnold, trying to calm Louissa while hugging her. This was a pure sympathy hug, not because Arnold had any special feelings for her.“We better get out of here now!” Arnold held Louissa's hand and was about to turn around, but Louissa stopped him from leaving.“Arnold, I'm afraid.”Arnold looked at Louissa with a frown. He didn't understand what Louissa was afraid of.“Tell me, what are you afraid of? You are with me now; no one will hurt you. So let's get out of here immediately," persuaded Arnold.Louissa looked at Arnold with tears in her eyes; she seemed hesitant to speak.“Louissa!” Arnold grabbed Louissa's shoulders and glared at her. He wanted Louissa to speak the truth, not cry and ask Arnold to guess what was happening.“When he wanted to rape me, I accidentally hit him on the head with
Hello guys, i'm so sorry for taking very long holidays, and my bad I didn't tell you. I'd like to announce that i will start to continue this book on 28 November. Thank you so much for you all who still follow Arnold's journey. You all very dear to me.
The next day, Arnold invited Elizabeth to tour New York City. They went with a driver.Arnold wore a black shirt and cream linen pants, with dark sunglasses. Meanwhile, Elizabeth wore a knee-length dress and a wide-brimmed hat that covered part of her face.They came to the most luxurious mall in the city. There were only shops selling branded goods with fantastic prices. Not everyone had the courage to set foot there.They entered the mall and were greeted with luxury in every corner. On the first floor, there was a showroom displaying luxury cars.Elizabeth's gaze was fixed on the cars. "Look, I think those are the latest and limited edition cars," she said. "Arnold, I'm interested in seeing the cars there!"Arnold turned toward the showroom and commented. "Didn't Grandma come here to buy clothes?"Elizabeth nodded. "Yes, but visiting a car showroom is not a problem."They walked past the car showroom but did not go in. The salespeople waved at them, hoping they would stop by.They
Lumina furrowed her brows. “CEO? Who? I admit that I did pour boba drink on a man, but he is not the CEO. He’s—” Her words stopped when she saw Arnold in her sight.When Arnold arrived there, the audience immediately made way for him. Arnold came there wearing complete formal attire. He wore a gray suit with a black shirt.Seeing Arnold’s formal appearance, Lumina’s eyes widened in surprise. Mario looked back and saw Arnold walking towards them.After wearing formal attire, Arnold’s aura looked so different. Even Lumina was now fascinated by his handsomeness.“Mr. Arnold,” said Mario.Hearing her father call Arnold formally made Lumina’s jaw drop.Her voice stammered. “Who is he, Dad? I admit that I poured it on him, because I thought he was—” Before Lumina could finish her sentence, Mario interrupted her.“Lumina! No matter what someone’s position is, you don’t deserve to do something bad like that to them. Have I ever taught you to do bad things like that? Have I ever taught you to
Rochelle's eyes widened when she saw Arnold who had just returned to the room. She rose from her seat and rushed to Arnold."Master, what happened?" Rochelle asked with a gasp.Mario, who was enjoying his wine, turned to Arnold and then he gasped."Mr. Arnold, what happened to you? Who did this?" Mario asked as he rose from his seat. He put down his wine glass and approached Arnold with concern.Arnold stared at Mario coldly. His attitude seemed to change one hundred and eighty degrees.Mario did not do that to him, but his daughter Lumina was the one who did it. Arnold did not want to work with someone who acted arrogantly like that woman. If he continued to work with Mario, it would be the same as him providing a source of income for Lumina.Arnold did not answer Mario's question. He acted indifferent to him, as if Mario were not there.Mario felt something strange in Arnold's attitude. He approached him and tried to ask what was going on."Mr. Arnold, are you okay?" Mario asked wit
Arnold and Rochelle had finished a meeting with a valuable client. The meeting yielded good results for them.After the meeting, Arnold returned to his office. He sat on a sofa near the window. From the sofa, he could see the view of New York City from the top of the building.Arnold was chatting via text message with the doctor who was treating Angela. A happy smile played on his face looking at Angela's health report.Suddenly, a knock on the door distracted his gaze. Arnold responded briefly."Come in."The door swung open, revealing Charles who came there with a document in his hand."Young master, I am delivering a cooperation proposal from Mario Fulcar," Charles explained.The man took a seat beside Arnold. He handed his master the document.Arnold accepted the document and commented. "Hmm, this company's track record is quite good. This is quite impressive."Charles nodded, he replied. "I have also found out about Mario Fulcar, and I feel that he and his company are worthy of y
As promised, today Arnold moved Oliver to the best hospital in New York City. Riana looked around at the luxurious hospital in amazement."Young master, I have lived here for 27 years, but I have never set foot here. This hospital is very luxurious," said Riana with a little chuckle."In addition to the luxurious building, this hospital has doctors who are much more professional," replied Arnold.They entered Oliver's room. After seeing Oliver's condition, Arnold wanted to help Riana get a better life. He wanted Riana to live in a more decent apartment."Riana." Arnold's voice made her turn to him."Yes, young master?""I want you to get a better life by moving to a new apartment. The plan is, I will take you to choose an apartment room this afternoon," conveyed Arnold.Riana was taken aback. She shook her head. "You don't need to do that for me, young master. Helping Oliver get better treatment is more than enough for me," she said while cupping her palms.“Please accept my help,” Ar
The next day, Arnold visited Riana's house. The woman lived in a small apartment with very simple facilities. Seeing this, Arnold felt concerned.After visiting her house, Arnold and Riana go to the hospital to see Oliver, Riana's only son.Along the way to the hospital, they exchanged stories. Arnold felt sorry to know that Riana had experienced domestic violence from her husband. Not only that, Riana's husband had also neglected his wife and son since Oliver was 5 years old.They had arrived at a hospital on the outskirts of New York City. The hospital was not the best hospital there. Riana was only able to take her son to this hospital due to financial issues."Riana, has Oliver been treated in this hospital from the start?" Arnold asked while looking around.Riana nodded. "Yes, young master. I can't afford to take him to a more expensive hospital."They had arrived in front of Oliver's room. The door was slightly open, and Arnold could see a doctor in the room.Seeing Riana and Ar
Arnold was taken aback. “You were my babysitter?” His voice was trembling; he could not believe he met someone from his family’s past there.The woman nodded convincingly. “Yes, young master. I used to work as your babysitter. My name is Riana; you can ask your family if you don’t believe what I say.”Arnold remembered the story from his grandmother. Elizabeth said that during the accident, Arnold and his babysitter were not found there. This had sparked negative speculation that pointed to Riana.“But why have you been missing since that day? Are you hiding something?” Arnold’s expression changed to a stern one. He looked at Riana with suspicion.Riana took a deep breath before speaking.“After the car’s brakes failed and the car hit a big tree, your parents died instantly on the spot, young master. I had fainted, and the voice of your crying woke me up. I cried in fear as I looked around me. We were the only ones alive. Then suddenly, I saw a group of masked men approaching our car.
After Arnold got up from his position, the thug immediately got up and took out all the money he had gotten from the merchants. He handed the money to Arnold.“This is all the money I got from them. There is nothing left. Please let me go from here,” he implored.Arnold smirked. “Okay, you can get out of here. But if you dare to set foot here again, then I won’t hesitate to cripple you!” He threatened while pointing his finger at the thug.The thug nodded fearfully. “I promise I won’t set foot here again.” After this, he immediately left the place.Arnold carried the merchants’ money in his hand. He approached the merchants, and they cheered for his victory. He put all the money on the table. He invited the merchants to take their money in an orderly manner.“Young man, you are our hero!”“We are so glad you came to save us.”“What can we do to repay your kindness?”Their kind words moved Arnold. He smiled at them.“You don’t have to do anything to repay me for all this. I am very hap
