Chapter 38: No One Ever Treated Her This Good

Seeing the Maybach disappear into the night, Freya was shaken off from shock. She widened her eyes in disbelief, feeling almost in daze by the jealousy. That bitch Dora Bush actually knew people from the Jones family! How could she? A woman like her who had ever given birth to someone else? How could she? And that Arno Jones, was he blind? Why would he protect a dirty woman? Freya was puzzled and even forgot to pay attention to Joseph who had lost conscious. Her head was filled with the picture of Dora was protected by Arno and left. …… Dora didn’t know how long she had lost conscious, she only knew that when she woke up, she was lying in an unfamiliar room. She sat up in shocked and looked around. At this moment, a fluffy ball next to her rubbed against her. When she took a closer look, she realized that it was Andy in cow pajamas. She breathed out a sigh of relief and reached out to rub his sleeping face. Arno walked in from outside, and when he saw that she was awake, he walked to her quickly and asked, “You’re awake? Do you feel anywhere uncomfortable?” Dora touched her nape and replied, “It hurts a bit here, but it’s not serious…” At this moment, almost all of her memories had returned, she remembered what happened before she lost conscious. Her eyes darkened and asked, “I… How did I come here?” Arno’s eyes turned cold and said, “When I was there, I happened to meet Joseph wanting to take you away.” Dora nodded and said, “Thank you.” Arno shook his head and walked around behind her, gently kneading the back of her neck. Dora subconsciously dodged, but was held by the shoulder by the man, “Don’t move. I’ll massage you. You’ll feel better.” Dora had wanted to say there was no need, but the man’s cool fingertips and touch made her feel so comfortable that she almost wanted to moan. She breathed a sigh of relief, silently feeling his strength. It was neither light nor hard, as if carrying electricity, she felt much more relax after the feeling of numbness. Suddenly, Dora choked up. Since being kicked out of the house, she hadn’t been treated this good for five years! She thought she was invulnerable, but in fact, it was just an illusion. When others treated her a little well, she was touched. She couldn’t help but sniffed and said, “Arno, everyone outside said that you’re cold and heartless. But you’re actually not. You actually treat your family very good. Like, Andy, you’re very fond of him and yielding. Your little brother, even though you’re harsh with him, you’re good with him from the bottom of your heart… You’re not cold at all, but rather you’re calm and steady, not heartless at all.” “Thanks for the compliment. However, what the outsiders said is true. In business, I am cold and resolute. But when it comes to some special things, it isn’t the case.” Such as family, such as you. Arno silently added in his mind. Dora didn’t know what he thought. She just laughed to herself and said, “It’s great to have a family like you. Unlike me. At home, it’s always superfluous. My dad doesn’t like me, and my stepmother and stepsister can’t see what’s good in me, even… Everyone is against me. After so many years, I have already dismissed them, but they pester me again… What right do they have to control my life?” Seeing her showing such expression, Arno felt uncomfortable in his heart. He suddenly bent over and put his arms around Dora. Dora stiffened and hurriedly said, “What are you doing?” Arno ignored her, tightening his hug. With a low voice, he said to her ear, “Actually… I can guess why he was looking for you. Jones Group and E.C Company has cancelled the initial project. The excuse for the contract termination at the time is they had dismissed the former project leader. He wanted to take you away because you were still valuable to be used.” Hearing this, Dora suddenly realized, “So, that’s why. I think everything is fine, so why he had come and looked for me. He even said wanting to take me home and he could give me anything… Hmph, it’s because I’m still valuable!” Joseph White… How could he be so disgusting! Dora gritted her teeth with an uncontrollable anger in her heart. …… Jin City, Jin Hospital. Joseph had woken up and was lying in the ward with plaster cast on his right hand. He looked very embarrassed. The White family and the Bush family hurried over after receiving the news. When they saw him like this, they were shocked. “Joseph, how can you end up like this? What happened?” Kita King exclaimed and hurriedly rushed to her son’s side. She was so shocked that her words trembled. Drake White also had a gloomy expression and asked, “Who did this?” “This is exaggerating. How can they beat you until like this? This… your hands are broken. How painful!” Aine Carter also looked worried by his side. After all, he was her son-in-law and his arms were broken. Bean Bush also expressed concern beside him. Joseph didn’t say anything, but his face looked real bad. The two families’ elders suddenly became anxious, “Joseph, say something.” At this moment, Freya who was next to him suddenly spoke, “It’s Arno Jones.” The four elders were stunned, “Who?” “Arno Jones. The eldest heir of Jones Group, Arno Jones!” Freya repeated through her gritted teeth. Drake White and Bean Bush were shocked when they heard it, “How…? Everything’s fine, so how can you provoke him?!!!” Joseph finally opened his mouth, “You have to ask Dora Bush!” “Dora? What does this have to do with Dora? Aren’t you going to bring her back tonight? What happened? Where’s she?” Drake asked, puzzled. Joseph gritted his teeth, “Dad, since the beginning, we were tricked by the Jones Group. They have never considered to work together with us. All of this is because of Dora. She… and the Jones’ siblings are close.” “This… how is this possible? That bitch… I mean, Dora has been living ordinarily outside. She has no chance to meet such person. Is there any misunderstanding?” Aine asked in disbelief. Joseph said, “None. If you don’t believe me, you can call Dora and ask her yourself. Now, there’s no chance for our company with Jones Group, and it’s even because of her, I have lost 500 million! Mr. Bush, I can’t just forget it.” “Of course you can’t. That bitch is really cruel. How dare she asks others to deal us?” Kita looked at Bean unhappily and said, “Bean, no matter what, Joseph is pretty much your son too. Do you want to just stand still and watch him being treated like this?” Bean hurriedly replied, “Of course not. What do you plan to do?” Kita said, “This whole thing is caused by Dora and she has to solve it. Call her to return now. Either ask her to bring in 500 million or ask the Jones Group to work with us.” Freya, who was at the side, was dissatisfied. “What’s the use of calling her back? Even if she knows the Jones family, who can say that she and the Jones’ brothers really have a special relationship? Don’t forget what kind of family is the Jones. They’re not someone that anyone can be friend with.”
