"If Christopher could hurt me so easily, that'd make me a useless man. How could I protect you and your father then?"
Bella was moved. "Justin, Wyatt treated you horribly before... He humiliated you and hit you. But you repay him with kindness...
How do you do it? If it were me, I might not have been so forgiving." "Your father punished me because he loved you."
Justin smiled casually, but his heart was bitter. "I should accept his punishment. I even feel that he was too lenient with me."
"Justin..." Bella's eyes reddened.
"Your father loves you very much, so I need to protect him well. I want my Bella to have all the love in the world. I will do my best
to make you happy."
Justin thought, 'To repay what I owe you a thousand times, even ten thousand times.'
Bella held his face, tears brimming in her eyes. He kissed his thin lips fiercely, as if she wanted to devour him.
That day, Aaron took Arnold back to the Larson family. Arnold was placed under house arrest for three days. His phone was
confiscated, and while he was given food and drinks, he could not take a step outside.
"Aaron! What is this?! This is illegal imprisonment!"
Arnold watched as the bodyguards installed an iron grille on his door frame, making his room a cage.
"Don't blame me. Dad asked me to do this."
Aaron coldly stared at him through the grille. "Dad is still on a business trip. He said you should stay in the room obediently
before he comes back to deal with you. Don't think about going anywhere."
"I want to return to Meridan! I have unfinished work. Let me out!" Arnold's bloodshot eyes widened, and he shook the iron grille
madly.
"You can't go anywhere. What don't you understand?"
Aaron looked at his brother with an annoyed expression. "Stop putting on an act in front of me. You're busy? Tsk, among the
whole Larson family, you're the most useless irresponsible, and playful one. I'm willing to bet that the moment I let you out, you'll
go running to the Thompson family!
"I don't know if you fell in love with Bella or what but you even saved Wyatt! You're slapping Grandpa and Dad in the face. Do
you think that our aunt being a mistress for Wyatt is something honorable? Are you eager to become his son-in-law as well?!
Does every Larson have to go lick the Thompson family's boots? Don't we have any self-respect?!”
Aaron got angrier as he talked! He had just finished icing his face this morning, and his cheeks were still swollen. It was all
thanks to Bella.
Therefore, he vented all his frustrations at Arnold.
After all, that brat was the root cause. If Arnold had not shamelessly maintained a connection with the Thompson family, would
Aaron have had to go there and get himself involved in a mess? It was utterly humiliating!
Arnold was burning with anxiety, his eyes almost spitting fire.
Aaron's words were not completely wrong.
Arnold stayed with the Thompson family because of the person he loved. But he did not want to marry Wyatt's daughters. He
was interested in Asher.
If the Larsons knew the truth, it might not end with merely placing him under house arrest. They might destroy him.
"Aaron! I won't go to the Thompson family anymore! I swear!"
Realizing force would not work, Arnold tried to use a soft approach, pitifully blinking his eyes and rubbing his hands together.
"Aaron, please... Just let me out. I was a fool. I sympathized with Aunt Mila and impulsively helped Chairman Thompson... I was
wrong won't do it anymore! Please!"
"Ha, brat. I'd rather believe that Jesus is still alive than believe your lies."
Aaron, having grown up with him, saw through Arnold completely. "How many times have you sworn since we were kids? You've
never kept your word, so stop struggling and stay put!"
