"Golden grub? What the hell?" Bella and Justin exchanged bewildered glances, while Asher stared in astonishment at Arnold's feminine yet captivating face.
Hunter's mouth hung open in shock, staring at him with intense, fiery eyes.
He felt a deep sense of embarrassment as he replayed the events of that night in his head, making him feel completely humiliated. He was shaking with fear and shall over again.
"You... You... Ugh...!" Hunter covered his mouth, feeling like he was going to vomit again.
"Hunter, you seem to be in a lot of pain," Arnold said as he took a big step back to stand next to Asher, looking as if he might catch something from being too close to Hunter.
Arnold grinned slyly and squinted his eyes before remarking, "But your breath smells worse than a public toilet that hasn't been cleaned in ten years. Even if you ate poop, you probably wouldn't feel a thing. That's just where it belongs after all." Eat poop?! Holy crap! That was even more sensational than that incident involving Charles! "Ughhh!" The lingering stench surged up again. Hunter quickly covered his mouth with both hands and dashed out of the door. "Haha... This is hilarious! I can't stop laughing!" Arnold burst into laughter, tears rolling down his face. He nudged the handsman beside him. "Why isn't everyone cracking up? I could laugh about this for years! Hahaha!" Asher stared at him silently. He couldn't help but smile back at Arnold's bright and carefree expression, mirroring the joy in his eyes.
"Arnie, tell us quickly! What's going on?!" Bella blinked her eyes. Her face lit up with excitement, like a curious little baby. 'Arnie?' Justin's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he held the slender waist of the young woman.
The veins in his hands tensed visibly as he thought, 'This girl sure knows how to sweet talk her way into gossip, not even thinking about whether I'll get jealous. She's completely indifferent to my feelings.' "Well, you see, one day I was enjoying afternoon tea with my aunt and the rest of the family, and Aunt Sasha mentioned something..." Arnold was so excited as he described how Sasha had instructed her men to beat Hunter and force him to eat poop. Instantly, the room fell silent.
But then, Bella suddenly burst into loud laughter. She leaned against Justin's chest, and her giggles caused her slender body to tremble, and tears formed on the corners of her eyes.
Justin embraced her tightly, and even he could not stop a smile from spreading across his face. He was typically a man of few words, barely laughing much, except when he was with Bella. His laughter wasn't prompted by anything funny this time. It simply cnaturally as he watched her be so genuinely happy. "Aunt Sasha is awesome! No wonder she's the daughter of the leader of the Southern Star Syndicate. She's truly a heroine among women!" Bella couldn't stop herself from laughing, clapping so much that her palms turned red. Justin was surprised. "So Madam Sasha is actually the daughter of the leader of the Southern Star Syndicate?!" Southern Star was the biggest l.ne syndicate in Savrow. They were famous all over the country. In its early days of aggressive expansion it received a variety of reviews, including both compliments and complaints. But in recent years, they worked to improve their reputation by showing enthusiasm for public welfare and gradually moved onto the right track. The leader of the Southern Star Syndicate was Sasha's father and a big inspiration to Ryan. It seemed like that kid had seen movies and TV shows based on the life of the Southern Star Syndicate leader hundreds of times.
But Justin never knew about Sasha's background. He thought, 'Wow, Wyatt... Wow...'
