Chapter 1700 If You Kneel to Her Immediately
When Arvin took out his phone and scrolled through the news apps, he found that the incident was widely reported as expected. The headlines read:
"Imprisoned Seven Years by Bestie, Girl Suffering from Advanced Heart Disease Brutally Kills So-called Friend"
"Arvin Gu's Ex-Fiancée and Famous Zither Goddess Rosa Murdered Her BFF who Imprisoned Her for 7 Years."
…
After the incident, Arvin went back to J City first.
Angela sat on the balcony, watching the city scenery outside. She knew in her heart... that Arvin wanted to see Rosa one last time before she would die.
Rosa was dying. She was waiting for someone before she would take her last breath.
After seeing Arvin for one last time, she closed her eyes forever, without saying a word.
She had been at the centre of a media storm because of Nita's death, so the date of her funeral was published. The day Arvin paid his condolences was also covered.
The Gu family had attended the funeral for old times' sake.
Arvin was interviewed by the media about Angela's absence. They asked him whether it was because of their emotional incompatibility as rumored. Arvin said drily to the reporter, "I will thoroughly investigate who put out those rumors and promise zero tolerance for them. What's more, my wife is pregnant. It's inconvenient for her to be out. I hope you can leave her in peace."
So, Angela's pregnancy was no longer a secret.
When Angela was four and a half months pregnant, Arvin returned to the Si family's house. He had been away for half a month.
While Angela was in the middle of developing a new medicine, Arvin took her to the Color Ultrasonic Room.
It was obvious to Angela that Arvin was in a bad mood. He did not ask her to leave with him this time. Furthermore, he had been busy dealing with the dispute between the Du family and the Yin family lately.
He would go straight to his room late at night after a busy day.
Angela's heart sank upon thinking about these.
Her mouth curled into a sarcastic smile and said, "Didn't you say that Rosa had no place in your heart? Then, why are you still sad even when I am standing right in front of you? Arvin..."
Many things had happened recently besides his busy work. To make things worse, Finn and James came to quarrel with him and Sansa before he left J City. He was really overwhelmed. "Angela, Rosa has passed away. Could you stop being angry about a dead person?"
He said it a bit harshly with a hint of annoyance, which further irritated Angela.
Her smile froze. Seeing Arvin's impatience, Angela bit her lip and left the hospital without looking back.
It was not until Angela left the examination room did Arvin come to his senses. He slapped his forehead and thought to himself, 'Damn it, Arvin. Look what you have done to Angela! It was not her fault!'
He hurried to chase after her to the research lab, but the door shut in front of him.
Arvin kept knocking on the door, but the woman inside ignored it and buried herself in the experiment.
At night
In the Storm Nightclub
Personally led by the club managers, several rich and powerful young men entered Room 888. Women around gazed upon them with admiration.
"Malcolm, Daniel, Colin, Jerry, Scott, want anything to drink? Order whatever you want. It is Arvin's treat tonight!" Sven said. He leaned back on the sofa casually and gave his brother-in-law a wicked grin.
If they were going to have a crazy night, even the Storm Nightclub would cost Arvin an arm and a leg.
But Arvin didn't care about it. He calmly lit a cigarette and told the bachelors around, "Scott, Malcolm, shall I get you some women to have fun with?"
The guys looked at him with astonishment. They couldn't believe that it was Arvin who had actually said those words.
Scott was the first to shake his head. If nothing else, he was about to pursue Lulu. It was essential for him to show that he was not the playboy type in front of Lulu's brother Arvin. "Arvin, I am not into this kind of stuff, " he declared.
He should appear as pure and innocent, at least for Lulu's sake...
Arvin glanced at him and simply nodded without a word. He then looked at Malcolm.
Malcolm shook his head more aggressively. "Save it, Arvin. I have made too many headlines recently. Since they have just been suppressed, I don't want to hit the front page again tomorrow."
Without batting an eyelash, Arvin ordered several of the most expensive liquor and asked the club managers to open them. It was in Lola's Storm Nightclub
Where the most expensive alcohol would at least cost nearly a million. However, Arvin ordered quite a few bottles without hesitation.
The club managers' blood ran cold while serving these rich men. After pouring the alcohol into the glasses, they left the room immediately.
Putting down his glass, Daniel turned to the man beside him and asked, "Say it. What's wrong?"
Before coming here, Arvin had asked them to do him a favor and meet with him tonight.
Coincidentally, Scott and Colin were in C Country because of work, so Arvin seized the chance and arranged this party.
"I need you to come with me to the Si family's house. We need to find a way to win my parents-in-law over and persuade Angela to go home with me." That's right. That was what he wanted!
If he had only known that it would be so hard to make amends and win Angela back, he would never have treated her that way!
Everyone looked at Sven upon hearing Arvin's words. Sven was a bit stunned, but then he got the point and said, "Yeah, that's right. You guys have to persuade me, too. Although I have already taught Arvin a lesson, it was not enough. He did make my sister upset!"
Everyone else went speechless.
Malcolm put his glass down heavily, popped a cashew nut into his mouth, and told Arvin, "Women are not to be spoiled! The more you explain to her, the more irrational she gets..."
At this point, Malcolm suddenly felt hostile glares from everyone in the room. He then chuckled, turned to Arvin, and continued, "But if you kneel to her immediately, problem would be solved!"
Now, there was contempt in everyone's eyes.
Daniel, drawing from his own experience, told Arvin, "Bro, just remember. Challenging her with your arrogance only brings a fleeting pleasure, but winning her heart back is a long-term torture."
Every married man would understand that.
Malcolm and Scott were not convinced. Malcolm said, "You guys are so spineless. You are masters in the business industry, the medical industry, and the legal industry... Don't be a coward in the presence of women!
Scott nodded emphatically on hearing Malcolm's words. But he quickly shook his head at the thought of Arvin's presence and said, "However, if the woman is your girlfriend or your wife, you don't need a backbone."
Malcolm squinted at Scott and said, "Dude... Sounds like you've already got a girlfriend. Aren't you still a single man like me?"
Scott grinned at him and said, "If I want to find a girlfriend tonight, you will be the only single man in this room."
"Scott, stop making fun of single men. It's already a pity that Malcolm doesn't have the chance to enjoy the pleasures of love, " Colin said while he slyly patted Scott on the shoulder. He was teasing Malcolm with him.
Since Malcolm had been a famous celebrity, both his company and his agent forbade him from dating any women, so he had been single for many years now!
