"Holy shit. The chick is hot." Blown away by Be''s beauty, several members of Southern Star Syndicate stopped fighting.


    Justin narrowed his eyes and pulled Be into his arms to assert his dominance.


    He needed to be on high alert, as his wife was too attractive.


    "What are you looking at? Show some respect." Knowing Be was not to be messed with, Elias knocked on the ogling members'' heads.


    "Stop! Stop fighting!" Arnold yelled with bloodshot eyes.


    Seeing his family injured was not the reason for his anger.


    Arnold did not expect to see his father, a man who always prided himself on keeping up appearances, arrive with reinforcements, create a scene, and brawl. He was behaving like a gangster. "Alright then. Stop." Elias yawned.


    His crew had beaten the Larsons'' hired protection to a pulp anyway.


    "You''re the head of the family, Dad. How could you engage in such behavior?" Arnold''s clenched fists trembled with a barely contained rage.


    "You''re one to talk after youmit such a shameful act. You embarrassed the family." Aaron barked at Arnold while holding onto his swollen face.


    "Ha. A shameful act?"


    Arnold smiled, his eyes reflecting valiance. "All I did was choose love, and that was the best decision I ever made in my entire life."


    Those words were a powerful affirmation for Be and Justin.


    The world''s hostility did not pull them apart. Instead, they stood firm on their feelings for each other.


    Their love was unquestionably loyal.


    "You''re toe back with me now, Arnold." Alvin stared at him, grimacing while straightening his loosened tie.


    "I won''t go with you."


    Arnold curled his lips and smiled. "Do I look stupid to you, Dad? Why should I go back with you? Only to be beaten up?" "Do you hear what you''re saying?"


    Alvin''s red-rimmed eyes bulged. Driven by anger, he threatened, "If you don''te back with me now, you''re no longer a part of the family. You won''t inherit the family''s assets and shares."


    Aaron could not be happier.


    Among wealthy heirs, family members were typically rivals. The Thompsons, a close-knit family, were a rare exception.


    If Arnold were disowned, Aaron would stand to inherit his grandfather''s fortune and his father''s authority entirely. The beating he took did not hurt much anymore.


    Alvin felt the threat was not enough and added the stakes. "That''s not the only thing. You can forget about practicing medicine. I will make sure no hospital will hire you." "Tsk. I call your bluff."


    Be smirked and responded, "Are you dreaming, Mr. Larson? Do you think you can control everything? What if Arnold goes abroad? Does your influence go that far? Even if he stays here, Arnold is wee to join any hospitals owned by my family. Can you stop him?"


    Axel mocked, "Tsk, tsk. You should think before you talk."


    Humiliated, Alvin tried to think of aeback when Arnold said with determination, "Your threats mean nothing to me. I never thought about inheriting anything from the family. This family has let me down for thest time. Since Aunt M left, there is no reason for me to stay with the family. I''m better off cutting ties with you all." N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.
