Arnold tugged a smirk on the corner of his lips as he snorted. Betting was not a big deal since he had a lot of money. He had no idea who Dante Lawrence was before, so he sent a message to Charles to find out Dante's identity."Okay, if you want to bet, then I will," replied Arnold, accepting Dante's challenge.A bright smile appeared on Madam Caterina's face when she saw Arnold and Dante agree to bet on Louissa. That meant the club's income tonight would increase many times with this bet.Meanwhile, Louissa trembled with fear when she heard this. Even though she believed Arnold was a bigshot, Dante Lawrence was not someone to be trifled with. She did not know who between Arnold and Dante had more money. Just a short time before the betting started, Charles managed to get information about Dante Lawrence and send it to his master.Arnold felt an incoming message notification ring on his cellphone, and he immediately checked the message.
Arnold stood proudly as he had won the bet. Madam Caterina approached him with a staff of this club. They collected the betting money as Arnold promised. They deliberately wanted Arnold to pay in front of everyone to ensure that the man's promise was not just empty talk, considering that four million dollars was not a small amount."Congratulations, Mr. Arnold; you have won this bet. Therefore, we want you to immediately make payment for your winnings," said Madam Caterina with a smile.Seeing this, the crowd decided to stay there. They wanted to see whether Arnold would actually pay 4 million dollars or not. After losing the bet, Dante didn't say anything to Arnold, even though he felt angry and vengeful toward him. He chose to see whether Arnold would actually pay that amount of money or not. Arnold smiled at Madam Caterina. “I will make the payment as agreed, but not here.” He didn't want to draw unwanted attention that would result in people finding out his true identity. The on
“The Gatsby family took revenge on me by making me lose my job. The modeling agency terminated the work contract unilaterally, as did the brands I had worked with. The Gatsby family is an influential family; therefore, they can destroy my career easily using the connections and power they have," explained Louissa with sadness in her eyes. "But it's okay; I'll do any job because I really need a lot of money right now," she continued in a steady and firm voice. She didn't want to appear weak in front of Arnold, let alone ask for his mercy. She did not want to involve anyone in her conflict with Antonie Gatsby.“They are a crazy family!” cursed Arnold. His eyes showed rage. “I beg Arnold, just let them be. I don't want them to do anything to you. I don't want other people to suffer because of me." Louissa's voice was filled with hope.“I paid 4 million dollars to take you with me. If you really don't like this job, let's go now!” Arnold was about to take Louissa's hand, but she moved he
Antonie and his four bodyguards entered the club lobby, and they headed to the reception desk. A tense atmosphere immediately enveloped the area when they set foot there. Two receptionists who were sitting and relaxing immediately stood up to welcome their arrival. Seeing the four big and tall men behind Antonie, the two receptionists looked scared, but they tried to hide their worry."Welcome to The Pretty Naughty, sir." The receptionist welcomed Antonie as she cupped her palms.Antonie took off the black sunglasses from his eyes, making the duo receptionist look fascinated. Even though he looked fierce, the man in front of them was very attractive. “I want to meet Louissa Brynnum. Does she work here?” asked Antonie without wanting to make small talk. The two receptionists looked at each other and discussed. “He is looking for Louissa Brynnum. Hasn't she gone with a man?”“Yeah, she went with him. But I don't know where they went. I think they will come back after this.”Antonie's
After giving Rachel a reply, Arnold drove his car and left there. The road he was traveling on was so quiet, and Arnold didn't even pass other drivers. A roar in the sky indicated that rain would soon fall. Arnold accelerated his car's speed.Suddenly, there was a car behind Arnold that was driving fast. Arnold glanced at the car in his rearview mirror, but he didn't really pay attention to it. When he arrived at the intersection, Arnold turned left, and the car behind him also turned in the same direction. Arnold monitored the car behind him from his rearview mirror until he felt something strange.“Why do I feel like the car keeps following me?” Arnold muttered.Arnold stepped on the gas pedal and made the car speed up. The car behind him did the same thing, but its speed was able to match the speed of Arnold's car even more. The car stopped suddenly and positioned itself in the middle of the road, blocking Arnold's path.Arnold stepped on the brakes so quickly that his body stumb
Arnold was rushed to the emergency room. His condition was critical with blood continuing to flow from his nose and ears. Arnold's hand and leg bones were broken. The doctor estimated that if Arnold could recover, he would have to give up the ability of his arms and legs to move normally because he would be paralyzed.The sound of knocking on the door in her room woke Elizabeth up. The old woman's hands groped her nightstand for her glasses. She put on the glasses as she got out of bed.With slow steps, Elizabeth headed towards the door and opened it. The door opened, showing Sebastian standing with a sad expression."Madam Elizabeth, sorry to wake you up at this time of night," said Sebastian in a panicked voice."What's the matter?" Madam Elizabeth responded.“Young Master, there were two unknown men who suddenly attacked him. He is in the hospital now," conveyed Sebastian.Madam Elizabeth was taken back as she closed her open mouth with her palms. A flash of tears wet her eyes. Wit
Charles frowned at the glass bottle. He doubted what his daughter said, but he tried to listen to her explanation first. “How can this liquid cure Master Arnold?” Charles asked. Skepticism was evident in his tone. “There was a research competition held at my campus a month ago. Before I came back here, they had announced the winner, and I was the winner of that competition. As a gift, the professor gave me 10,000 dollars and this liquid. This is not an ordinary liquid, but a magical liquid that comes from an ancient, rare plants that only exists at the foot of the Old Haurus Mountains. It can heal any damage to the human body. But this potion can only be made for 100 years, so it is very rare. I brought this to Fairybridge and wanted to keep it. If one day something unwanted happens in our family, I can provide help with this. But I think now there is someone who really needs it," Sarah explained in full. Sarah's explanation made Charles' doubts about the power of the liquid disappe
Elizabeth released her hug from Arnold, and then she cupped her grandson's cheek. "Arnold, my dear, there were two unknown men who attacked you. They beat you until you were in critical condition, but thankfully with the help of Sarah's magic gold liquid, you were able to survive," she said, looking at Sarah."Thank you, Sarah; my family owes you." Elizabeth expressed her gratitude."I'm very glad to help," replied Sarah with a sincere smile.Sebastian, who initially doubted the magic liquid that Sarah had brought, now feels very grateful for her help. “Thank you very much, Sarah. I'm sorry I doubted you." His voice was filled with guilt.“Mr. Sebastian, I understand your concerns," Sarah responded while giving a calming smile.Arnold's gaze fell on Sarah. He watched that young, gorgeous girl. In his mind he kept wondering who she was and why she was here. Seeing the curiosity on Arnold's face, Elizabeth immediately explained."Arnold, she is Sarah Wagner, Charles' daughter," said Eli
