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
Antonie's vision, which was originally a little blurry, turned clear. He looked up and saw that the roof of the room was different from the roof of the presidential suite room he occupied last night. His gaze turned to the front, and he saw a man glare at him with anger. Antonie didn't recognize the man, but from his expression, he could conclude that he clearly hated him.Arnold's broad shoulders managed to hide Louissa's body, even though her hair was still visible. Antonie noticed the woman's hair behind Arnold's body, a sign that there was a woman standing there."Who are you?" Antonie asked.“Who I am is not important. But what is clear is that from this moment on, I ask you to stop disturbing Louissa's life!" Arnold ordered.Antonie snorted. A smirk appeared at the corner of his lips. Even though he was still quite weak, he wouldn't let anything stop him from being with Louissa."Who are you? Do you also like Louissa? If you really like Louissa, then fight like a man!" replied A
Louissa was still silent. She still couldn't process this incident.“Sorry, but have I done something wrong? I don't think I've ever done anything wrong. So far, I have always worked professionally," said Louissa.There was a brief silence on the call. Louissa pondered and tried to remember what she might have done wrong, but she couldn't find anything. She didn't offend anyone ... except the Gatsby family!Louissa's eyes widened when she remembered the Gatsby family. She believed that now they were targeting her and making her lose her job."Is all this at the request of the Gatsby family?" Louissa asked bluntly.The management was shocked to hear Louissa's question, but they answered honestly.“That's right, Louissa. We apologize for that. Gatsby's family was very influential. If we don't carry out their orders, they will destroy this agency. Even in 2 weeks, there will be a fashion show in this city, and the Gatsby family is the main sponsor," explained the manager of the agency.L
