If Arnold found out that Ka''s biological parents and brother were such people, would he also feel disappointed and contemptuous toward her? Just then, her friends called from outside.


    "Ka, are you done? Mr. Lawson is here! I saw himing up on the elevator on the second floor. He''s headed this way!"


    Ka clenched her fists and replied, "I''ll be out in a moment!"


    If one listened closely, one could hear a hint of panic in her voice.


    Shawn held up a finger, insisting, "Dear Ka, 30 million dors to sever ties is quite a deal, don''t you agree?"


    "Give me your bank ount number!" Ka said while initiating the transfer, her toneced with menace. "You''d better remember your words, or I swear I''ll make you regret it!"


    And just like that, 30 million dors was deposited into Shawn''s bank ount. It was so easy that Shawn could barely believe it. Things had gone so smoothly!


    He believed that Ka had an unlimited ck card and that she received countless gifts worth hundreds of millions on her birthday.


    They were true too. She was indeed treated like a precious princess by the Fuller family. To her, 30 million dors was just pocket change, and she didn''t hesitate to part with it.


    In fact, she was willing to spend this amount for a bit of peace.


    Ka shook off Shawn''s hand and turned to leave the restroom. This time, he didn''t try to stop her.


    He licked his lips, greed swelling in his eyes once more.


    ...


    As Ka returned to the mall''s lounge area, she saw Arnold approaching. The man stood tall and elegant, his handsome features striking and refined.


    As the future heir of the Lawson family, every gesture and movement of his exuded confidence and nobility. From the moment he appeared, he drew a lot of attention. He shone brightly in the crowd. Ka''s face lit up. She stood on her tiptoes, calling out, "Arnie!"


    Arnold walked over, ruffling Ka''s hair and asking, "Are you feeling better?"


    Before she could answer, her friends chimed in yfully from behind, told yo Mr. Lawson doesn''t see aelse! His heart and eyes are all for Ka!"


    "Exactly! Just look at the way he''s gazing at her-it''s making people envious!"


    "Right? We should be considerate and not be third wheels here!"


    Her friends bantered back and forth, causing Ka to blush. She yfully admonished them, "Hey, stop it..."


    Arnold maintained his usual calm demeanor, giving nothing away.


    Once her friends left, Ka linked her arm with Arnold''s and gave a yful pout. "Arnie, I''m hungry. Will you take me to eat?"


    Arnold sighed and said with a hint of affection in his voice, "Alright, let''s go."


    The night before the engagement banquet, Arnold had rebuffed Ka''s advances and made it clear that he regarded her only as a sister.


    The rtionship that should''ve been


    severed was restored to its original


    state after Ka''s wrist-cutting incident. To avoid upsetting her, Arnold kept silent about it.


    Ka was happy to pretend everything was fine. She became bolder and teased him in small ways, trying to push the boundaries of their rtionship.


    While they were eating, Ka suddenly remembered something and asked, "Arnie, how is Mr. Lawson Senior? Is he feeling better?"


    Arnold nodded. "He''s getting better."Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    "Then, after we finish eating, let''s


    visit Mr. Lawson Senior. I should et


    apologize to him. Because of me, your engagement party with Felicia didn''t go through..."


    "Sounds good."
