Chapter 835
Bella rubbed her chin, mulling over the situation. “Looks like that's a
done deal”
If only Arnold knew that Bella, the mastermind behind his “kidnapping’
and the woman who insulted him and whom he disliked, was none
other than Dr. Brown, his idol. He would be beyond embarrassed by
his fanboy behavior. He might even want to bury himself alive!
“This is a man who even Dr. Brown has come to save. Do you still
question his character, Dr. Larson?” Bella asked with a calm smile,
By doing this, aren't you questioning the character of your own idol?”
Although this statement was somewhat of a moral manipulation, at
this point, Bella felt she had to pull out all the stops to handle this
person.
Arnold pursed his lips, pulled up a chair, and slowly sat back down,
lost in thought.
“Okay, for the sake of Dr. Brown, I guess I'll take a look at the case.”
Bella couldn't hide her joy, but she maintained a subtle smile, “On
behalf of Dr. Brown, thank you.”

After finally returning to the country, Drew didn’t leave again, but he
also couldn't sit still.
During the day, he slept soundly at home, and as soon as it got dark,
he was eager to go out.
So Axel often teased him for being a nocturnal creature.
“If people don't know you, they'll think your work involves sneaking around,
hiding during the day, and only coming out at night.”
Drew invited Axel, Asher, and Bella out for a drink, but the two of them
declined. Only Axel couldn't resist Drew's persistence, so he
reluctantly agreed to accompany him.
After all, Drew seemed more like a younger brother when he was out
drinking. But Axel made sure to secretly take some hangover
supplements for the night out. Otherwise, his aging body couldn't
handle it.
When the two arrived at the bar, they sought out a discreet booth to
avoid drawing too much attention.
However, the Thompson brothers’ good looks were too hard to hide.
Their looks would kill even in the entertainment industry, not to
mention at a mere nightclub.
As a result, they couldn't enjoy themselves and were constantly approached by
women asking for their phone numbers.
Axel was getting annoyed, but Drew found it amusing. He even suggested
turning it into a drinking game.
Every time one of them was approached by a woman, the person
would have to take a shot. But they were evenly matched, and neither
emerged as the winner.
In the end, Drew couldn't take it anymore and said to the woman, [00
have a girlfriend.”
The woman scoffed. “Yeah, right. I don’t believe you. Why would two guys come
out for drinks if they had girlfriends? You're obviously out looking for something.”
She tried to cozy up to him, but Drew dodged skillfully, leaving her flustered. He
whipped out his phone and showed her a photo of Bella.
“Here. This is my wife. Isn't she beautiful?”
Axel nearly choked on his drink when he saw the photo.
“Tsk, what a joke.” The woman was full of jealousy and walked away
with a huff.
Axel slammed his drink down and looked at him angrily. “Seriously,
Drew? Who calls his sister their wife. That's just plain wrong!”
“I have such a beautiful sister. Why should I hide her? Of course, I
want everyone to see how beautiful she is,” Drew retorted, downing
his drink in one go.
Suddenly, his eyes darkened, and he sneered. “Unlike a certain idiot in
a suit! He had the most beautiful wife in the world at home, but he
kept her hidden and cheated on her!”
Axel took a sip of his drink and asked, “Jerkface Justin?”
