Elizabeth did not show a friendly manner to Rachel. She spoke to her in a harsh tone. "How dare you accuse him of being a thief? Do you have any proof that he stole something?" Elizabeth exclaimed. Rachel gasped at Elizabeth's attitude towards her, who was a customer. She did not expect the old woman to be as unfriendly as she thought. Actually, Rachel was reluctant to admit that she knew Arnold personally, but seeing this situation, she had no other choice but to do so. "Sorry, Madam Elizabeth. I accused him of being a thief because I knew him personally, long before you knew him. He used to work in my house and stole. So when I saw him coming out of your room, I thought that he was doing the same thing he did when he was my servant," Rachel explained with a faint smile, hoping that the old woman would sympathize with her. Elizabeth's jaw tightened with anger clearly visible on her face. Instead of sympathizing with Rachel, she actually felt very annoyed with her. She knew that h

“Who is he, Madam?” After Zara and Elizabeth’s hug was ended, the young lady's gaze shifted to Arnold who was standing behind Elizabeth.Elizabeth did not answer Zara’s question directly. She looked her grandson straight in the eyes. Although Arnold was silent, his gaze signaled Elizabeth not to reveal his identity.“He is my driver; his name is Arnold,” Elizabeth replied.“Your driver? Did you come only with him?” Zara asked with her eyes scanning Arnold’s appearance.“Yes, I only came with him.”Zara was a young actress who was known for her talent and generosity. She was a regular donor at the largest orphanage in Fairybridge and often attends charity events. This was what made her image in the public eye known as a sweet and kind girl.In addition to her amazing acting skills, this factor was what made Elizabeth interested in Zara to make her Arnold's partner. Besides liking Zara Braun, Elizabeth was also interested in Angeline Roux, but seeing Arnold’s attitude that showed no int
Carlos glared at Evan. His eyes filled with rage and revenge. With a firm tone and shrouded in resignation, he ordered. “If you want to kill me, then just kill me. I don’t want to be in this place, so I’d rather die.” Evan narrowed his eyes suspiciously. He moved his gun away from Carlos’ head because he didn’t want to kill him. “You idiot! You can leave here anytime you want, but remember that your family’s life will be at stake,” he whispered, interspersed with a cruel laugh. He laughed with satisfaction, knowing that Carlos’ family’s life was in his hands. In the agreement, it was written that if Carlos didn’t want to devote himself as a bodyguard, then the Hensen family would destroy their lives. Carlos was indeed a master in martial arts, but he didn’t have strong power to face the prominent family, so the Hensen family could easily target them. Carlos was silent contemplating his fate. His family was his priority, so he shouldn’t put them in danger. Suddenly, the door t
Zara put her phone on the table, and her gaze shifted to Arnold.“Arnold.” Her soft voice made Arnold fix his gaze on her.“Yes, Miss?” Arnold responded.“Have you been working for Madam Elizabeth for a long time?Her question made Arnold ponder for a moment. He had to give a logical answer so that she would not be suspicious of him.“I have been working as Madam Elizabeth’s driver for the past year,” he answered with a smile on his lips.“Oh, I see. It hasn’t been long, but Madam Elizabeth has considered you as her confidant. You must be someone with a good work ethic.” Zara paused her words. She was a little hesitant to express her question. “Can I ask you something? You can answer it if it is not something private.”He nodded, letting her. “Tell me what you want to ask, Miss.”“I heard that Madam Elizabeth has a grandson who is the CEO of The Winster Group. Have you ever met him?” Zara asked with a serious expression on her face.Pretending to be Elizabeth’s confidant meant he had
The masked man dragged Arnold out of the car roughly. He put his gun right on Arnold's temple. "If you dare to fight, then this hot bullet will shoot into your head and burst your skull!" whispered the masked man in an icy tone."Come with me quickly!" ordered the masked man in a firm tone.In the tense atmosphere, Arnold tried to stay calm. He raised his hands to indicate that he surrendered. The masked man's strength was very strong. His hand pulled Arnold with just one pull, so that Arnold could not ward off his attack."What do you want? Tell me quickly!" shouted Arnold.Meanwhile, Zara who was sitting in the passenger seat was shaking so much seeing the masked man pointing a gun at Arnold's head. Panicked, she reached for her cellphone in her bag to call for help.So panicked, her cellphone slipped from her hand and fell. Zara bent her back to pick up her cellphone. Her action was captured by the masked man's gaze.The masked man snapped as he pointed the gun in his hand to shoot
Arnold stared at the wad of money in his hand with a frown. He could feel Carlos' sincerity in wanting to protect him from the Hensen family. But he didn't need the money at all.Zara wondered what was going on when she saw the man giving Arnold the money. "What are they doing there? Does Arnold know that man?" she muttered.The fear that enveloped Zara made her freeze in the car. She chose to watch Arnold from there. She let Arnold solve his problem with the man himself.Arnold shook his head as he handed back the money to Carlos. "Thank you for your concern, but I don't need this money."Carlos pulled his hand away, reluctant to accept the money back. "I got paid a big sum to kill you. Don't worry, the money is not even half of what I get paid. You can go to another part of the world with the money. Your life is more important," he firmly refused."But why do you care about me? I do know Alastair, but I don't know you. We've never even met before." His question was laced with curios
