The surrounding voices of discussion and praise for Arthur were rising and falling, as everyone marveled at the exquisite jade and Arthur's exceptional appraisal ability. However, at this moment, Mike and Jupiter wished they could find a hole to hide in, to preserve a shred of their dignity. Just a few minutes ago, they were mocking Arthur relentlessly, like ridiculous clowns. Now, they found themselves sitting on the ground, defeated. They had lost completely. "Arthur, how did you do it?" Amanda stared at him in disbelief and asked aloud. She knew that this was Arthur's first time gambling on stones. Could he really be a genius? "Hah, I just got lucky!" Arthur touched his nose and explained awkwardly. To some extent, he was right! He did have good luck, retrieving this mysterious pendant from his ex-wife and unlocking its usage. However, upon hearing this, the audience at the scene looked at him with eyes full of resentment. Luck? Triple wins, one hundred percent accurate
The next morning, Arthur received a call from Catherine.She was crying on the other end of the line, her voice soft and tearful."Arthur, I miss you so much! Can you come see me?"Catherine's tone was pleading, with a hint of desperation."I told you not to contact me anymore!"Arthur replied coolly, his brow furrowed.Catherine's heart ached at his words. Where had the obedient and devoted Arthur gone? How could he be so quick to reject her? Her eyes turned cold and resentful."You bastard, you will pay for this with your blood!"she thought. But then she took a deep breath and spoke in a softer tone."Arthur, I know I was wrong before. I was too demanding and selfish. But since you left, I realized that I can't live without you. Every night when I close my eyes, I see us getting married and living our lives together. I just want to see you one more time, to say goodbye properly."Catherine's voice was sincere, and gradually broke through Arthur's defenses."Goodbye? Where are you g
Bang! Catherine's scream had just sounded when the door was kicked open and a group of people rushed in. Arthur frowned as he observed the people who barged in. Fiona, Linda... and some members of the Daphne family... And... Johnson Smith?!!! Arthur realized there was a conspiracy, but what were they up to? They saw Catherine, disheveled and in a pitiful state, and at first, they were stunned, then immediately enraged. "Catherine, what happened?" "I... I was almost raped by this scumbag!" Tears streamed down Catherine's face as she pointed at Arthur, biting her lip tightly. Upon hearing this, Linda became furious and glared at Arthur, pointing at him and hurling insults. "Bastard! Scum! Trash! Marrying Catherine was the biggest mistake of her life! You're still harassing her even after the divorce, and now you're planning to rape her? Are you even a man?"“Marrying you is the most terrible decision that she has ever made!” "Reporting you to the police and having you arrest

At Night, Daphne's House. A man was kneeling on the floor, earnestly mopping the floor with a cloth. "Arthur, would you mind stopping for a moment and helping me with something?" A gentle voice with a hint of coquetry echoed from the second floor. Upon hearing this, the man stood up and looked at the pretty girl on the stairs, asking with some surprise, "Fiona, do you need any of my assistance?" Fiona Daphne, Arthur's wife's younger sister, had been relying on her sister to support her at home. She had always looked down on Arthur and disdained him as a son-in-law, even referring to him as a waste. However, her attitude towards Arthur seemed to have changed somewhat at this moment. Arthur wiped his hands on his clothes and walked upstairs. He saw Fiona standing shyly by the door of her bedroom, her arms crossed over her chest to prevent her clothes from slipping off. She blinked her charming eyes at Arthur and smiled playfully. "Come in quickly, I need your help!" Seeing
Looking at the cover of the document with the words "Divorce Agreement," Arthur flipped it open and saw the clause that required him to leave with nothing.Arthur suddenly realized what was going on and gritted his teeth. "It seems this was planned in advance, a trap for me." "Bullshit! How could I use my sister as bait? Tell me, you do have the guts to molest Fiona but none to admit it?" Catherine denied, then insulted him. "Wearing a saintly facade even though you're a whore!" Arthur couldn't help but think of it. He shook his head sadly and looked at his wife. "Catherine, I'm tired. For these three years, I've obeyed you, loved you and your family, even though they didn't respect me. But now, I know, simps don't deserve sympathy, and they're not worth it!" "Why are you saying all this now! Just sign it quickly!" Catherine became impatient. Ignoring her, Arthur continued, lost in his own thoughts. "Since you all want me to leave, want me to leave with nothing, fine. You s
Outside the villa, there was a light drizzle falling. The rain in early spring still carried the coldness of late winter, but it couldn't match the coldness in Arthur's heart. "Mr. Rockefeller?" Suddenly, a red Ferrari parked by the side of the road, and a young woman's voice full of doubt came from the car. Immediately, a stunning woman got down, hurriedly holding an umbrella to come over Arthur's. She was wearing a black windbreaker coat, and the tight inner layer couldn't hide her ample bosom. She was wearing blue denim shorts on the lower body, and a pair of round and slender thighs were wrapped in stockings, making them even more enticing as the rain slid down. "Mr. Rockefeller, why are you standing here in the rain?" She asked anxiously. Her name was Annie Stacy, one of the most famous female stars in Georgia and also the top artist under the World Tree Group, even recognized as a dream lover by netizens. Meanwhile, she was also Catherine's intimate friend. Originally
