Sir Lucas looks at his daughter with a painful look  “haven't I been treating you well enough? Why are you so bent on destroying the image I have spent so many years building? What will I tell people, my daughter, who is set to be married and already betrothed with another man in a hotel with another man and on his bed huh? Areille why are you dragging my name to the mold” Arielle hooked her lips, disappointed. Shouldn't he be happy? He had already hooked up with Anabel, and he probably didn't want to be with her for a long time. "You still have a smile on your face." Sir Lucas scolded Arielle aggressively. After scolding his daughter, Sir Lucas quickly apologizes to the Richards family.  "Mrs.

 They all walked to the car, Edward slowed his step for he knew Arielle will always wish him well and always reminded him multiple times to take care of himself. This was one of the feelings she offered which rather made him so sure she was so into him. She always looks so reluctant to let him leave.  At times he sure can tell there were tears in her eyes when she gives him goodbye. Before Edward got into the car, he paused in his footsteps. He was waiting for her to talk to him and do her usual routine.  He did not care so much about it, but it sure made him feel how vulnerable she was in his hands. Today he waited for Arielle's advice, but she didn't say a word for a long time, just stood not far away, staring at him getting into the car, without even the slightest smile on her face. Inexplicably, he actually felt a

She got into the car, a bit disappointed they hadn't left. She was not ready to be seen with him even if it was a matter of chance. Sitting in the car, Arielle discussed with Leonard again, "Okay, if you don't want to go abroad, you can make a price. How much does it cost to seal your mouth? I am willing and ready to pay you any amount, but you will have to leave my life and even if we do meet in the future, you will pretend to not know me and act like we are meeting for the very first time" "What?" Leonard looked at her puzzled. Arielle felt that he was pretending to be stupid, and gritted his teeth and said, "What happened that night." Leonard tapped his forehead with his finger and asked, "Which day?" Arielle felt that he did it on purpose, and gritted her teeth, "You..."Leonard said, "I don't have a good memory. I can't remember things that others don't remind me of, and I'm not very talkative either. So if Miss Cowell wants us to talk business, she will have to be very

"Sister, I don't know what you have misunderstood about me and my mother. Didn't we get along very well before? Why did it suddenly become like this? I remember when my mother and I first came here, things were not like this and you treated her like family.  I know you also want your father to be happy, I mean he has been single for so long that he deserves to have a partner and not grow old in loneliness. I really want us to go back to the way we use to. You can share things and hug me as a sister" Anabel has always been entangled in this matter. Anabel could not help but think within her what was the course of her sudden change of altitude. It all happened the day she drugged her but she did make sure to leave as soon as she could so there is no way Arielle could have found out she was the one who drugged her. 

 Sir Lucas walked up to the stage where everyone could see him. He had the smile of a proud father while others took him for a man with power. He held the microphone and said,  "Everyone, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend my daughter's family recognition banquet. She is my daughter. Although she didn't grow up by my side, her education has never fallen behind. She has studied very well since she was a child, and she has always been in the top ten in every exam. She is my pride and my apple..." Holding the microphone, he complimented Anabel with a doting smile on his face.Arielle was sitting in her room and could hear the sound from downstairs. She paused for a moment while doing her makeup. What about her?
