Arnold nodded hesitantly. “Yes, he is still alive,” he answered shortly.Angela’s curiosity increased. Her gaze became more intense. “Really? So the heir to the Winster family is now his grandson?”The silence atmosphere paused their conversation for a moment because Arnold just kept quiet and didn’t answer right away. Angela stared at Arnold, waiting for his answer.While shaking his head, Arnold answered. “Hmm, I don’t know about that, Angela. I’m not really interested in the Winster family’s life.” His tone seemed to indicate a desire to end this topic of conversation.She nodded in understanding, then lay down on the bed.“Angela.” Arnold’s voice distracted her gaze.Angela stared at Arnold without responding verbally.“You haven’t told me why you ended up in that thug’s house. May I know, if you don’t mind?” Arnold asked with genuine concern.Before starting to tell her story, she took a deep breath. Tears seemed to be wetting her eyes, remembering the dark scene.“My boyfriend h
“Bring him before me, dead or alive!” The figure’s commanding voice echoed throughout the room.A servant respectfully bowed his body before the figure. “Alright, Master. I assure you that he won’t get away.”In a dimly lit room, a man was sitting on a chair. Two servants were beside him, swinging fans at him. Their gazes were downcast, showing fear and respect for the dominant figure.Not long after the servants left the room, the voice of a man’s screams shrieked in the air. The gazes of the master and his servants turned towards the door, where a man who was being whipped stepped into the room.SHEESH!The whip landed again on his back, creating a red line that bled blood on his skin. He screamed in pain, and suddenly his body collapsed.“Arghh!”The whipper glared at him angrily. “What are you doing, you fool?” he snapped. “Don’t pretend to be weak because your act will be useless!”But the man was still curled up on the floor. His breath hitched and his eyes closed.“Is he really
In the next morning, the voices of two people arguing filled a room in a hospital in New York City.“Come on Angela, tell me what Adorjan Jackson looks like,” Arnold implored as he looked at Angela expectantly. He had been urging her since last night, but she seemed adamant about covering up the case.Angela stuck to her guns from the start. She shook her head.“I said no! Arnold, you should know that this is not something you can take lightly. Besides, why insist on taking revenge on him? Isn’t the reason you came to New York because your boss sent you on a business trip? Then why are you busy taking care of something that is not your domain?” Angela exclaimed. Worry and indignation mixed in her gaze.Arnold fell silent for a moment. Angela and Adorjan’s problem was indeed none of his business. But knowing that Adorjan was linked to a mafia in this city made this problem automatically his business. His late grandfather had eradicated the mafia and helped the weak.Arnold was determin
With a hint of excitement, Jonas asked. “Are you serious?”Arnold nodded as he assured. “Yes, there is a big company in New York that is looking for competent candidates. You can send me your CV and resume. After that, they will check it and consider you,” he explained.Jonas furrowed his brows. A little doubt in his mind, but he trusted Arnold.“Okay, we should have each other’s phone numbers. I will send you my CV and resume.” They took out their phones and exchanged phone numbers.After getting Arnold’s number, Jonas asked. “You said that there is a big company that is opening a job vacancy. Can you tell me the name of the company?”“The Winster Group,” Arnold answered briefly.Jonas’ jaw dropped. Just hearing the name of the company made his guts shrink.“You better be kidding. Applying for a job at a company like The Winster Group will only waste my time. I’m sure they will reject me right away,” he spoke pessimistically.Arnold looked at Jonas while snorting. “So you’re indirect
Charles rage escalated. He snapped at the security guard. “How dare you do that to him? Do you know what you’ve done could get you fired from your job this second?”The security guard shrank in fear. He lowered his gaze pleadingly. “Sir, I was just doing my job. That man insisted on entering the lobby, so I only took action to prevent him from entering,” he explained in his defense.Charles snorted. “On whose orders did you dare to do this to him? I didn’t even tell you to kick him out!” Indignation was palpable in his tone.He approached Arnold and extended his hand to his master. Arnold got up from his fall, and he stared at the security guard with resentment.Seeing Charles’ friendly attitude towards Arnold, the security guard immediately regretted his arrogant actions. He cursed himself for his reckless actions.“I’ll make sure that when you leave this building, that idiot won’t be here anymore,” Charles whispered reassuringly.Arnold nodded, agreeing with Charles’ action of firin
Adorjan set foot in the thug's house. Before entering, he looked around and saw that no one was there. Immediately turning the doorknob, Adorjan found that the house was unlocked. "Hey jerk, where are you?" Adorjan shouted. His voice echoed throughout the small house. "Damn. Then where did he take Angela? He hasn't even paid the settlement f*e," said Adorjan while rubbing his temples. His head felt heavy. From the living room, he walked towards the bedroom. Adorjan hoped to find clues to Angela's whereabouts there. "If he takes Angela away, then I'll be in big trouble," he muttered anxiously. In the bedroom, Adorjan looked around, looking for Angela's belongings or traces. His gaze went towards the sofa, where he found a torn dress. Adorjan approached it, and he took it. "Angela is really here. The thug must have taken her somewhere now," he guessed. When he turned around, Adorjan was startled by a strange man standing in the doorway. The man's intimidating gaze made Adorjan ta
Adorjan could only surrender to his situation. He could not fight Carlos, or else the bullet would destroy his head.After rejecting the call from Master Leonardo, Carlos slammed Adorjan's cellphone and stepped on it until it broke.Adorjan could only grimace angrily, seeing his cellphone destroyed. Carlos did this so that Adorjan could not ask for help from anyone."After destroying my phone, now you can kill me," said Adorjan in a cold voice, but he was just being sarcastic. Inside he was shivering.Carlos huffed. "If Master has given me the order to kill you now, I will gladly do it," he replied.Roughly, Carlos pulled Adorjan's body, and they got out of the house. With one hand still entangled in Adorjan's body, Carlos opened the car trunk and took a rope from there.He used the rope to tie Adorjan's hands. "Follow me into the car!" he snapped while pulling Adorjan's hand.Adorjan who was helpless was forced to obey Carlos's order.Carlos drove the car away from the house. On the
The smiles on the couple’s faces instantly faded. The wife looked at her husband expectantly. Not wanting to disappoint his little family, the man tried to cover up his situation.“Thank you, nurse; I will immediately take care of the administration for my wife,” he replied with a small smile.The wife interrupted. “I know your true situation, hubby. I know that our money has been used up to pay off debts, so there is nothing left to pay the hospital bills.”Her gaze shifted to the nurse. “Nurse, can you give us some more time? Maybe not today, but we will pay off all the hospital bills. For now, we don’t have enough money,” the wife explained.“I regret to inform you that if you can’t pay the hospital bills, then you can’t take your baby home,” the nurse replied with a sad tone.In the midst of the tense atmosphere, Arnold interrupted the conversation. “Nurse, I’m the one who will pay the bills,” he declared.“Please don’t do this, sir. Let me go back to work, and I will pay the hosp
