Arnold’s expression was dark, clearly indicating he was in a bad mood. He reiterated, “Felicia if it weren’t for my grandfather, I wouldn’t want to look at you for even a second.” It was evident that he was completely rejecting her.
Felicia pondered over Arnold’s words and asked, “What did your grandfather ask you to do this time? It can’t be…”
A guess was on the tip of her tongue, but she didn’t finish her sentence.
Arnold’s expression became somewhat unnatural as he sneered, “Yes, my grandfather insists that I support you and be your lapdog. Are you happy now? Satisfied?”
Felicia was at a loss for words. She was completely frustrated and thought, “Damn… What kind of grudge does Arnold have against me?”
“Can’t you just say no? Do you have to listen to your grandfather?” Felicia rolled her eyes, her disdain and rejection surpassing Arnold’s.
Arnold replied impatiently, “Felicia, you know that playing hard to get is outdated, right?”
The two of them were exchanging barbs out in the open, so everyone around them heard the conversation.
Suddenly, the bus was filled with whispers, and a few comments of disdain were directed at Felicia.
One woman pulled out her phone and quietly took a photo to send to Kayla, who had been absent from college for a long time.
Kayla hadn’t attended classes for quite a while. After all, her family was wealthy, and with Dexter and Myra paving the way for her, she was only attending college to gain a veneer of prestige. Once she graduated, she would be arranged to work in the Fuller family’s company or take over Myra’s extensive beauty business.
She had missed a month of college due to her plastic surgery and another month because of her wrist-cutting incident. Hence, she missed out on the announcement of this training program. Upon receiving the photo, Kayla was incredulous, her eyes nearly popping out.
In the photo, Felicia and Arnold were sitting together. From the angle, it appeared they were having a conversation. They shared glances that looked almost affectionate.
After making some inquiries, she learned that Arnold had poured a million into this training event.
Furious, Kayla nearly exploded. Ever since Matthew had collapsed from anger, no matter how many calls she made or messages she sent to Arnold, he hadn’t responded. So, it turned out that he was secretly meeting with Felicia behind her back.
Kayla asked for the location of the training program and then ordered the maids to pack her things. She summoned the driver as well, “Load my things into the car and take me to Alverton!” The driver hesitated and asked, “Ms. Kayla, where’s Alverton? It seems far away. Should I inform Mr. or Mrs. Fuller first?”
“Just do as I say and stop with the nonsense!” Kayla shot the driver a glare.
The maids worked quickly, packing and loading two suitcases into the car.
As they set off, Kayla spotted Shawn lurking at the gate of the Fuller residence. These past few days, Shawn had been relentless in bothering her. After taking 30 million dollars, he still wasn’t satisfied and
returned for more.
He threatened her, saying that if she didn’t give him money, he would drag Howell and Tabitha to the college and the Lawson residence, making sure everyone knew who her real parents were.
Kayla had originally planned to
report this to Dexter and Myra. She
believed that with Dexter and Myra’s favoritism toward her, they would surely get rid of Shawn or at least quietly make him disappear.
But now, Kayla suddenly changed her mind.
She instructed the driver to stop, then waved at Shawn like a dog. “Want money? Fine. Help me with a few things, and I’ll give you the cash!”
