Unparalleled Arthur: Return From The Pinnacle

Chapter 3: The Pretty CEO

Arthur walked out of the office.

He gave Will an opportunity, hoping that he would know how to choose.

He didn't directly execute Will because he still cared about his relationship with his adoptive parents. 

Although they only loved Will, they had at least let him live, which made him grateful.

If Will weren't the son of the couple, he would definitely died in a miserable way.

At this moment, laughter filled the office, they were laughing out loudly. 

They looked down on Arthur, who had nothing but dared to speak that way.

Will also laughed and said, "What can he do to me? Does he think he's still the Arthur Smith from three years ago? How foolish!"

When the board of directors heard Will's words, their laughter grew even louder.

They wildly flattered Will and belittled Arthur.

Arthur didn't react to the people in the room, who were just a group of demons rejoicing before being thrown into the fiery pit of hell.

Only the ignorant person's final folly.

His footsteps remained steady as he walked away without looking back.

Meanwhile, Will stared intently at his departing figure. His gaze was malicious to the extreme. 

As if he was already thinking of ways to kill Arthur again.

......

Arthur noticed a dazzling red Enzo parked by the roadside as he left the company.

A pair of red high-heeled shoes stepped out of the car.

It was an incredibly beautiful woman, wearing a tight-fitting office outfit to accentuate her fiery curves.

Her hair was also a bright red color, styled in waves and flowing down her back.

This woman was undoubtedly a robust and influential figure. Arthur silently assessed her in mind.

Scarlet had been waiting at the company gate for over fifteen minutes and finally saw him.

He was a tall and handsome young man, whose face truly stood out among the crowd.

Perhaps he was the most outstanding-looking person she had ever seen.

Scarlet didn't know the exact position of this young man in Hastings, but she thought he might be a minor member from the family.

High-ranking person from Hastings should not behave so low-profile, even a butler of Hastings she had ever seen was accompanied with a group of security guards.

Scarlet quietly thought to herself as she continued walking without slowing down her steps. 

In no time, she stood in front of Arthur and bowed, saying, "Young Master."

Arthur glanced at her and asked, "Who are you?"

Scarlet immediately replied.

"I'm Scarlet, the one called you about an hour ago. As the representative of the respective Hastings, I'll be responsible for you in Eldora."

Arthur glanced at Scarlet briefly and nodded, saying, "Nice to meet you."

As soon as Scarlet mentioned her name, Arthur knew her identity.

She was the president of one of the largest companies in this city and a successful businesswoman.

It seems that she was the subordinate of Hastings. Arthur supposed.

Scarlet smiled and said, "Please come with me. I have prepared accommodations for you."

On the way, both of them kept silent for a while.

Looking out the car window, Arthur smiled slightly and suddenly asked.

"Are you able to acquire Willingness Company within 10 days?"

Scarlet didn't understand why Arthur asked that all of a sudden.

However, she said confidently, "That's a small case for me."

Perhaps she would never have thought like this if it were two years ago, but she could easily purchase the company at this moment.

Hearing her words, Arthur spoke nothing then.

He would have wanted to use more aggressive method to get it back.

The car continued rolling towards the hotel reserved for Arthur. At that moment, the phone suddenly rang.

Scarlet glanced at the name on the screen, and Arthur immediately saw her face change, becoming somewhat agitated.

She furrowed her eyebrows, a different expression from when talking to him.

However, she quickly pulled over to the side of the road and answered the phone.

On the other end of the line, a man's voice could be heard.

"Madam President, the young miss suddenly fainted and is in critical condition. We are currently at the hospital."

Scarlet furrowed her eyebrows and asked.

"Why did this happen suddenly?"

The man sounded uneasy as he replied.

"We don't know either. The young miss was playing around as usual, but suddenly... The doctors find her condition very strange."

Scarlet immediately said.

"Find the best doctors in this country and bring them to me, no matter the cost. Keep an eye on her at the hospital. I'll be there as soon as possible."

The man immediately responded, "Understood, Madam President."

Scarlet angrily hung up the phone. Her eyes were filled with worry and impatience, making her temper even more daring.

But at this moment, she suddenly remembered someone else in the car.

Scarlet looked back and immediately faced Arthur's deep eyes as if they could see through everything.

She seemed taken aback for a moment, then quickly lowered her head.

"I'm sorry for being loud just now. My younger sister suddenly fainted. She has been taken to the hospital and is currently in critical condition. I am her only family member, and I must go to the hospital immediately. I will take you to the hotel, but can we go to the hospital first? It will only take a little time..."

In a soft voice, she said.

Scarlet lowered her head, waiting for Arthur's decision.

She knew her request was foolish. Perhaps someone from a prestigious family like Arthur wouldn't accept it.

Arthur silently looked at Scarlet, smiled and said.

"You don't have to worry. Let's go to the hospital first."

Upon hearing Arthur's words, Scarlet was surprised.

She thought Arthur was a really kind and reasonable person, totally different from others of prestigious families that she had ever met.

He only saw Scarlet's grateful look, and then she quickly stepped on the gas pedal, driving faster than before to get to the hospital.

Arthur wasn't a kind-hearted person, but he wasn't cruel either. Currently, he doesn't have any urgent matters to attend to.

Moreover, he was truly curious about the illness that had left the doctors baffled...

Arthur looked out the car window as the scenery whizzed like the wind.

He smiled slightly, his finger caressing the silver ring on his right middle finger.
