Fortunately, the Thompsons gave Arnold enough support. Arnold had also made up his mind.
The Larson family's plan fell apart, and they even received a beating.
On top of that, everyone got to hear a juicy piece of the Larson family's gossip.
It was a pleasant surprise!
The Thompson family took Arnold and left, looking like a true family.
Alvin stared at Mila's back resentfully, unwilling to accept defeat, but the Southern Star Syndicate's men were still blocking him.
Alvin could only take this loss.
On the way back, Arnold wrapped his hands around Mila's shoulder, holding back his tears while teasing, "Aunt Mila, if you ever
want to change your last name, hit me up." "Silly boy, it's just a surname. What can it represent?"
Mila smiled gently and grasped Arnold's hand tightly. "Your home is where your heart is."
Arnold did not speak, as tears streamed down his face silently.
"Arnold, I'm sorry for those harsh words I said to you earlier... I forced you into a corner. I'm really sorry." Mila was full of guilt.
"It's all in the past, Aunt Mila."
Arnold burst into a beautiful smile through the tears. "Let bygones be bygones. I only want to look forward."
Before they knew it, it was already nighttime.
The storm of public opinion was raging outside, but it was quiet in the hospital.
After a long day, Wyatt had fallen asleep. His family stayed by his side, seemingly affected by the series of blows.
Late at night, Asher called Bella and Justin out to talk in the backyard.
"Drew found out who exposed my relationship with Arnold. The money used to hire the paparazzi to expose us came from an
overseas account under James Iverson's name.” Asher's dark eyes surged with anger, his hands curling into an iron-like fist on
his side.
Clues that are usually only traceable by the police were merely a matter of time for Drew, who was a top-tier hacker and special
agent.
"I knew it was that bastard!"
Bella's eyes bulged furiously. "James must have done this to get revenge on the Terranova resort land deal. Asher sold the land
to him, which turned out to be problematic. As a result, James lost his position as CEO, so of course he'd want revenge!"
Justin pondered for a moment, feeling suspicious. "Although the evidence points to James, and he has enough of a motive,
Asher is capable enough to hide... I mean, protect Arnold well." Phew... that was close. He almost blurted out, "Hide his lover!"
"Based on my understanding of James after dealing with him for many years in the business field, he has the smarts, but he
doesn't have the foresight or depth to uncover the relationship between Asher and Arnold."
A cold storm brewed in Justin's eyes. "I believe Asher is cautious enough, but he was still captured on camera. could only mean
that the person had been watching them all along, and it might not just be them. The entire Thompson family was most likely
under surveillance.
"This is the only possibility that could explain why their relationship was exposed coincidentally at the same time that Uncle
Wyatt had another episode. It could sway Asher's position at the company and aggravate Uncle Wyatt, worsening his condition."
"Tsk, even if James had two heads, he couldn't come up with such a sinister plan to kill two birds with one stone."
