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
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
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
Sparkling lights and candlelight decorated a proposal event tonight. Red roses spread to all corners of the venue, which was held outdoors. The sound of classical music from famous musicians in the city made the atmosphere very romantic, even before the event started.A man wearing a white shirt and black trousers looked around him in amazement. As seen from his clothes, he was not someone important but just a part-time worker.“Today is my second wedding anniversary with Rachel. If I had a lot of money, I would definitely be able to hold a luxurious celebration like this," said Arnold. He took a deep breath as he reached into his trouser pocket and found 30 dollars in cash.Arnold smiled, looking at the money. At least tonight, he could bring Rachel a cake to celebrate their wedding anniversary.“Hey, you! Don't stay silent like a fool; quickly move those things!” The yell of a hotel manager distracted the man's attention.Arnold turned to the manager, and he nodded. "Okay sir." He r
Victor's expression changed to be a little worried when he heard Arnold reveal his behavior."I know that you must be jealous of him! Stop talking nonsense and get out of here!” Rachel exclaimed while gesturing for Arnold to leave.Victor smiled proudly to find Rachel still defending him. He believed his good looks and wealth could cover up his bad behavior.“I swear, Rachel, he's definitely just playing with you.” Arnold's eyes were sparkling with tears, he was so worried about Rachel, even though she had betrayed him. "If you choose to leave me with another man, then I will accept it. But I assure you that Victor will only play with you.""Your father will definitely be sad if he sees you with a jerk like him!" shouted Arnold while pointing his finger at Victor.“Shut up, you useless man!” Victor snapped. "Come on, Rachel, I'm so disgusted to see a loser like him." He grabbed Rachel's hand and was about to take her away from there.With bold steps and an angry look, Arnold approache
Several men dressed all in black got out of the car. Arnold's expression immediately changed when he saw that the person who had just arrived was not Albert. With swift steps, they immediately arrested Arnold and forced him into the car.“Who are you? Why did you arrest me?” Arnold struggled, trying to escape.“Shut up!”They covered Arnold's mouth and lifted his body to get into the car. In just a short time, they managed to catch Arnold and take him away from there.Not long after, Albert arrived there. He got out of the car and looked around to look for Arnold.“Arnold! Are you here?” Albert exclaimed. "Where is he going? Isn't he here yet?” He didn't see anyone in the park.Albert took his cell phone and called Arnold.Arnold's cell phone, which was in his trouser pocket, rang. One of the men took the cell phone to see who was calling Arnold.“Albert?”“Let me talk to him! Please, give me the phone!” implored Arnold.Instead of giving the cellphone to Arnold, the man slammed the c
Arnold looked around him. The room he was in was very luxurious. The gold-decorated roof, marble floor, classic carvings on the walls, and totally perfect magnificent design made Arnold feel like he was in a hospital in the palace. This was the most luxurious hospital Arnold had ever seen.“Wow.” Arnold chuckled in amazement.The sound of the door opening caught Leon's attention. An old woman entered the room. The woman's gaze fell on Arnold, and she smiled.Arnold, who didn't know who the old woman was, just smiled back."Madam Elizabeth, he just woke up a few minutes ago," reported the nurse."Thank God," responded Elizabeth."Madam Elizabeth?" Arnold muttered.“Hey young man, how are you? Are you feeling better?” asked the old woman.“I'm better now; thank you, Madam Elizabeth. So, you brought me here?”“Yes, I found you lying on the road unconscious. What happened? Why did you get hurt?" Elizabeth looked at Arnold with worry in her eyes.“Some men beat me, madam. I thought I was d
Arnold smiled bitterly as he shook his head slowly. “What do you say, madam? There is no way I'm your grandson. Someone in the past must have accidentally found this necklace and given it to me. Who knows, the caretaker of the orphanage might accidentally find it," he dismissed the old woman's statement.Elizabeth shook her head. “No, Arnold. You really are my grandson! You are Arnold Winster, my grandson who was lost as a baby. At first, when I saw your necklace in that room, I thought the same as you. But after seeing the birthmark on your arm, there's no mistaking it; you're my grandson!” She exclaimed while holding Arnold's arm tightly, as if she were afraid of losing her grandson for the second time. Her voice was so emotional.Arnold's lips trembled. He couldn't say anything because he still couldn't believe what had happened.“Arnold, you are my grandson. We really missed you, dear," Elizabeth whined, tears streaming down her cheeks.Arnold's heart skipped a beat. He looked at
