I told Arthur, "From now on, you're staying in the Moore residence. No one gets to force you to do anything ever again."Arthur's tears finally spilled over. He hugged me tightly, his whole body trembling.His voice came out muffled against my shoulder, thick with emotion. "Jake, no one's ever stood up for me like this before."Once he calmed down, I wiped his tears and led him to the couch.After I cleaned the blood off his finger with a wet wipe, I slapped a bandage over the cut before turning to Catherine. "Catherine, do it. I never want to see the Hickman family again."Catherine nodded. "Sure. I've already looked into the Hickman family's finances. There are plenty of cracks to exploit. Three days is all I need to bankrupt them."She then added, "The news about Hickman Group's financial troubles will hit the presses tomorrow morning. I'll assign a couple more bodyguards to Arthur just in case Mindy does something out of desperation."I simply grunted in approval.Dad cam

Arthur was sitting in a wicker chair, flipping through a fashion design catalog. The sunlight was catching on his eyelashes, making him look as dreamy as a watercolor painting.I glanced at him, then told Gordon to let her in.When Donna walked in, Catherine was the only one downstairs. She was sitting on the living room couch, going over some documents. She didn't even bother to look up.With an awkward smile, Donna set the bottles of wine on the coffee table and said, "Hello, Ms. Moore."Catherine simply turned a page and ignored her. The awkward look on Donna's face was impossible to miss.She cleared her throat and turned to me when I walked in. She then forced a smile on her face. "Oh, Jake, I came today because I wanted to talk to you about something important."She pulled a stack of documents from her briefcase and spread them across the coffee table. There was a DNA test report, along with Decker Group's financial statements.She laid everything out neatly, treating this

I walked over to Arthur and crouched down in front of him, giving him a tissue to wipe his tears with. "Hey, don't cry. This is a good thing. Why the tears?"He let out a laugh through his tears. He gave my hand a hard squeeze, then nodded firmly in agreement. That night, Mom made a massive feast for dinner.During the meal, she kept piling food onto Arthur's plate, telling him he needed to eat more if he wanted to look healthy. Then she praised his hands, saying they were made to draw.I noticed that the second she said the word "draw", Arthur's hand paused. With his head low, he shoveled a couple of bites of meat into his mouth without saying a word.After dinner, I went to the kitchen to help with the dishes. Through the sliding door, I could hear Dad pulling Arthur aside to talk in the living room.I strained to hear and caught Dad speaking in a gentle and warm voice. "Arthur, there's something I want to talk to you about. You know, Catherine might be a good match for you.

I sat up and climbed out of bed to grab an envelope from the nightstand drawer. I then got into bed again and set it down in front of him."Take a look at this."Arthur gave me a confused look, then opened it.The first page was an acceptance letter from the Peckons School of Arts with his name on it. Tucked behind it was a black bank card with gold trim. The balance on it was 20 million dollars.Arthur stared at the documents for a very long time. He gently traced a finger over the acceptance letter, then touched his own face in the visa photo.He snapped his head up to look at me. Tears started falling onto the acceptance letter, blurring the words "Peckons School of Arts"."Jake, when did you…""I've been planning for you to study abroad for a long time now. I had Catherine help get it sorted. I was going to surprise you, but after what Dad said tonight, I figured I couldn't put it off any longer."I pressed the bank card into his hand. "Consider this 20 million dollars and
