Robert blew a puff of smoke. “What’s wrong? Are you refusing to kneel?”
Arnold remained silent. He stood straight and appeared grim.
Robert continued to goad him. “After your father was imprisoned, I heard you kneeled and accepted
Wayne as your father, promising to fulfill filial duties toward him. You prostrated yourself so humbly
before him, but why won’t you do the same for me?”
It was Josie’s first time hearing about Arnold’s past. Her expression turned grim. Still, knowing his past
did not lower her opinion of him. However, she understood how humiliating it was for him when Robert
revealed his past to everyone in the room.
“Whatever Wayne gives you in Wavery, I can provide the same to you in Rivodia!” Robert became
agitated and threw his walking stick at Arnold. It hit the back of his hand, leaving bruises.
Mr. Vipera picked up the walking stick, gave it to Arnold, and persuaded, “We understand it’s normal for
a young man to be hot-tempered, so all you need to do is apologize to Mr. Quincy, and the matter will
be resolved.”
Arnold looked down and accepted the walking stick. He circled the table and gradually came. to stand
before Robert.
Robert had a gleeful expression.
“I was reckless and acted out of hand. He held the walking stick but did not give it to Robert. “However,
I had prostrated and sworn allegiance to Wayne. How could I do the same for you? Wayne would be
furious if he knew about it.”
A brief and tense silence followed. Robert scolded, “You’re nothing but Wayne’s pet!”
Arnold’s expression darkened threateningly at those words. He seemed on the verge of losing. his
temper. Josie stepped forward, but Arnold stopped her. Then, he got down on one knee. and looked up
at Robert.
“Mr. Quincy, Wayne has only one daughter, but you have many offspring. Who do you think Wayne will
punish if he hears those words from you? Will it be you or me?”
Robert pursed his lips. “How dare you threaten me?”
“How would I dare? If I’m not mistaken, your son succeeded you as a doctor in Rivodia. What will
happen if I frame him with the same medical malpractice as Paul?”
Robert was bursting with fury. “Arnold! This is Rivodia, not Wavery. You have no power to do this!”
“Since I came to Rivodia, what makes you think I would be scared of anything? You can try if you dare.”
Arnold gave up all pretense of amicability. He handed the walking stick to Robert and continued, “Don’t
forget how your leg became crippled in the first place.”
Those words intimidated everyone into silence.
After a tense silence, Mr. Vipera tried to smooth things over. “That’s enough. We are all in the same
boat, so why don’t we try to get along? I’ll propose a toast. May we all find success in our businesses.”
Arnold returned to his spot. After brooding for a moment, Robert had no choice but to raise his glass.
The incident ended there.
Then, Arnold and Robert negotiated about Arnold’s batch of goods over the dining table. Arnold
reduced his price by ten percent out of sincerity.
Josie stayed with them for hours but did not obtain any useful information. Thus, she whispered to
Arnold, “I’m going to the washroom.”
Arnold nodded.
Josie breathed in fresh air as soon as she left the room. She finally let out a sigh of relief.
However, she caught the waiters’ conversation as she neared a corner. “I heard Mr. Bastille from
Bastille Group will be coming here today.”
“You heard that too. Seems like he will be here to negotiate a business collaboration.”
“Goodness. I’ve heard a lot about him. I wonder if we will have a chance to see him today.”
“I think he’s here. Let’s take a peek.”
Josie stood stiffly on her spot. It can’t be that coincidental. Why do I keep bumping into someone I
know everywhere?
She covered her face with her hand and searched for Mr. Bastille of Bastille Group on Web. As
expected, a familiar name showed up. She clenched her teeth and returned to the private lounge
straightaway, not daring to linger outside.
