Arnold's eyes showed doubt at Jonas as he pondered without returning his handshake. Jonas pulled his hand back as he chuckled.

"Okay, bro, it looks like you are afraid of me," Jonas spoke.

Arnold shook his head, dismissing Jonas' words. "I didn't mean it like that. It's just that I'm wary of strangers."

Arnold just nodded. His gaze was fixed on his cellphone screen. He seemed to be busy reading something.

"Ahem!" Jonas cleared his throat, making Arnold's gaze shift to him.

"Sorry if I bother you, but I don't know your name yet," Jonas stated curiously.

"Arnold," Arnold answered briefly. He was reluctant to give Jonas more information about himself. Although Jonas didn't seem like a goon, Arnold should be careful because he was not in his own country.

Let her go!” she demanded.William smirked. “Elizabeth, nice to see you, cousin.”Arnold’s jaw dropped. “Cousin? What?”“I don’t understand why you did this to us. You suddenly left the Winster family and disappeared for more than 2 decades. But now you reappear in our lives and kidnap my grandson's girlfriend,” Elizabeth asked in surprise.A mix of anger and revenge in William’s eyes. “I just want to see your grandson suffer. By watching his girlfriend die, it’s the same as killing him slowly.”Elizabeth’s eyes were filled with tears of anger. “William, without you doing that, my grandson has suffered for almost his entire life.

    The first search process carried out by Charles was by using the kidnapper's car license number. He accessed a secret website, where the website could display information from the location of a vehicle just by typing the car license number.To be able to access the website, someone must have a special license that will not be given to just anyone. Charles, who was experienced as an assistant to rich people, has access to the website.Arnold sat next to Charles to see the search results. Charles typed the car license number, and in seconds information appeared on his laptop screen."Oh God, this person is someone with great power, so location information based on the car plate of his vehicle cannot be accessed. This also applies to the Winster family, sir," said Charles."Then, can you use another method to track their whereabouts?" Arnold asked hopefully."I'll try with Angela's phone number."Because Angela's number is inactive, the search process will take longer because to see the

After this I will order a taxi to take me home,” Angela replied.With concern, Arnold offered. “How about I pick you up and take you home?”She shook her head, although Arnold could not see her gesture directly. “Thank you, babe, but I can go home by myself.”“But—”“Don’t worry, babe. I’ll be fine, trust me,” Angela assured.“If you say so, then I trust you, honey.”“Good.”“My dear, I want to invite you to have dinner with my grandmother. She is in New York right now,” Arnold invited.Angela couldn’t contain her excitement. She felt like jumping up and down with joy. Sh

What do you expect from this mysterious figure?”“No way!” Rachel ended the call that very second.She stared at Arnold with a sharp gaze. “Don’t try to fool me, Arnold! This can’t be real!
