Chapter 833
Bella took Arnold out to lunch at the dining hall. Meanwhile, Asher
headed back to his room and locked the door behind him.
Asher went to the study and sat at his desk. The perpetual smile on
his face slowly stiffened, and his fingers worked to loosen his tie and unbutton his collar. With each button undone, he felt a little more at
ease.
A silver cross dangled out of his shirt, shining with a dim light.
As Asher closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his mind wandered
away from Arnold’s face, and another person’s image flashed before
him.
At the restaurant, Bella had whipped up a spread of delicious dishes
for Arnold.
Although it had been a long time since she had cooked, her skills hadn’t dulled one bit. In fact, her cooking skills were so exquisite that
even the family’s chef wanted to learn a few tricks from her.
Arnold’s stomach rumbled as he eyed the mouth-watering spread on
the table.
“It’s just some simple food, Dr. Larson. Please give it a taste,” Bella encouraged, a smile playing on her lips.
But Arnold was a man with a principle. He couldn’t be swayed by a mere meal. He took a deep breath and looked coldly at Bella. “Ms.
Thompson, although you are my aunt’s beloved daughter, your status
holds little value to me.”
He continued, “I made it clear on the phone before. I don’t treat the rich. Justin is the president of the Salvador Corporation. He has plenty of doctors lined up to kiss up to the Salvador family. They will do everything they can to treat him. I’m not needed. I am a man of my word. If I say no, no one can change my mind. You’d better not waste
your energy.”
Bella wondered. ‘Hmm? Did Ash not treat him well enough?’
