My brother doesn’t even have to do anything; Arthur manages to trip and stumble, losing his balance and falling to the ground, all by himself.

"You're not going to get away with this," Luke said, his voice firm. Arthur laughed. "Oh, I think I will," he said. "You see, I have insurance. And with this insurance, I'll be able to walk away scot-free."

I’ve been running it alone for over thirty years.” “I can do that.” He gave me a curt nod. “Okay. Come by tomorrow when you have a chance, and I’ll have a schedule ready for you.” “Thank you, Sir.” Artie left without another word. Something about his silence and bluntness settled well with me.

Arthur said with a smile. He was having a great time. "Ugly jerk!" I cursed one more before tightly clutching the dog against my body. I cuddle Karma and it feels wonderful to hug her. "How about borrowing me a few dollars this time?" I made a suggestion. As the phrase goes, beggars have no choice, so right now I have no choice but to beg even more. "That would be a No' pumpkin. I... I cannot!" Arthur responded. He looked at me with puppy dog eyes, carefully shifting his gaze away from the road. "Can you please lend me a few dollars this time?" Arthur inquired.

With the Judge's oppressive presence no longer bearing down on him, Arturo exhaled a heavy sigh. His eyes, icy with unending malice, fixed on the retreating figures of the four men.
