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
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
