Justin had to stop himself from rolling his eyes and ended the conversation.


    ...


    Be sat in the lounge of the other room while scrolling through the meanments with red-rimmed eyes. Overwhelmed by emotions, she pressed hard on the screen.


    Axel and Den stayed by her side, not knowing where to look. They were caught off guard by the incident.


    "Don''t be upset, Be. Ash and Dr. Larson aren''t in showbiz. The whole thing will blow over in no time." Axel sighed and felt bad for his brother.


    "It will blow over, but the experience will continue to haunt Ash and Arnold."


    Be closed her eyes and took a deep breath to pull herself together. "Ash is KS Group''s CEO. Even though the business belongs to our family, Ash''s credibility and reputation are tarnished. The perpetrator just wants Ash to fall from grace. Though Arnold is not a public figure, his family doesn''t y nice. I doubt he can return to his family now."


    With that in mind, Be felt sucked into negative feelings.


    After spending so much time together and going through thick and thin together, Be had long considered Arnold to be family. Upon learning that Arnold was punished by his family, she was dying to barge into the Larsons'' residence and give them a piece of her mind.


    She was on Asher''s side.


    Be did not want Arnold to be hurt anymore.


    As tears welled up in Be''s eyes, Den got down on one knee and took her hand. He looked tenderly at her. "Don''t worry, Be. If the Larsons are blind enough to disown Dr. Larson, we will wee him with open arms."


    "Dec..." Be murmured softly while tearing up.


    "I often wondered about the type of person who deserved an outstanding, proud, aloof man like Ash."


    Den chuckled. "Now I think no one suits him better than Dr. Larson."


    Be was lost in her thoughts.


    She recalled the times she saw Asher and Arnold. Arnold would do his best at anything Asher asked of him. They often looked into each other''s eyes with unspoken emotions.


    There were telltale signs right from the beginning.


    "Den is right. It''s a good thing that Ash found the person for him."


    Axel was back to his chirpy self. "Hehe.


    least one of us is not


    ege anymore. Ash is setting


    example for us."


    Den said, "It''s your turn next, Axel. You''re not getting any younger."


    "Fuck. The four of us are only a few minutes apart! Why don''t you think about yourself? You only hange around men. I don''t see you with any women. I think you might die alone."


    Den joked dismissively, "That''s okay. I can just pick one of the guys."


    Be and Axel widened their eyes and reached their hands out. "Really?"


    Then came a knock on the door.


    Axel went to open the door, only to be taken aback. "D-Dr. Larson?"


    With Arnold at the door, Be got up from the sofa.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    "Mr. Axel, is Be in there?"


    Arnold''s lips were dry. "I want to have a talk with her in private."
