Bella rubbed her chin, mulling over the situation. âLooks like thatâs a
done deal!â
If only Arnold knew that Bella, the mastermind behind his âkidnappingâ
and the woman who insulted him and whom he disliked, was none
other than Dr. Brown, his idol. He would be beyond embarrassed by
his fanboy behavior. He might even want to bury himself alive!
â
âThis is a man who even Dr. Brown has come to save. Do you still
question his character, Dr. Larson?â Bella asked with a calm smile,
By doing this, arenât you questioning the character of your own idol?â
Although this statement was somewhat of a moral manipulation, at
this point, Bella felt she had to pull out all the stops to handle this
person.
Arnold pursed his lips, pulled up a chair, and slowly sat back down,
lost in thought.
âOkay, for the sake of Dr. Brown, I guess Iâll take a look at the case.â
Bella couldnât hide her joy, but she maintained a subtle smile, âOn
behalf of Dr. Brown, thank you.â

After finally returning to the country, Drew didnât leave again, but he
also couldnât sit still.
During the day, he slept soundly at home, and as soon as it got dark,
he was eager to go out.
So Axel often teased him for being a nocturnal creature.
âIf people donât know you, theyâll think your work involves sneaking around, hiding during the day, and
only coming out at night.â
Drew invited Axel, Asher, and Bella out for a drink, but the two of them
declined. Only Axel couldnât resist Drewâs persistence, so he
reluctantly agreed to accompany him.
After all, Drew seemed more like a younger brother when he was out
drinking. But Axel made sure to secretly take some hangover
supplements for the night out. Otherwise, his aging body couldnât
handle it.
When the two arrived at the bar, they sought out a discreet booth to
avoid drawing too much attention.
However, the Thompson brothersâ good looks were too hard to hide.
Their looks would kill even in the entertainment industry, not to
mention at a mere nightclub.
As a result, they couldnât enjoy themselves and were constantly approached by women asking for their
phone numbers.
Axel was getting annoyed, but Drew found it amusing. He even suggested turning it into a drinking
game.
Every time one of them was approached by a woman, the person
would have to take a shot. But they were evenly matched, and neither
emerged as the winner.
In the end, Drew couldnât take it anymore and said to the woman, à¼à¼à¼
have a girlfriend.â
The woman scoffed. âYeah, right. I donât believe you. Why would two guys come out for drinks if they
had girlfriends? Youâre obviously out looking for something.â
She tried to cozy up to him, but Drew dodged skillfully, leaving her flustered. He whipped out his phone
and showed her a photo of Bella.
âHere. This is my wife. Isnât she beautiful?â
Axel nearly choked on his drink when he saw the photo.
âTsk, what a joke.â The woman was full of jealousy and walked away
with a huff.
Axel slammed his drink down and looked at him angrily. âSeriously,
Drew? Who calls his sister their wife. Thatâs just plain wrong!â
âI have such a beautiful sister. Why should I hide her? Of course, I
want everyone to see how beautiful she is,â Drew retorted, downing
his drink in one go.
Suddenly, his eyes darkened, and he sneered. âUnlike a certain idiot in
a suit! He had the most beautiful wife in the world at home, but he
kept her hidden and cheated on her!â
Axel took a sip of his drink and asked, âJerkface Justin?â
