At the back of the hotel was a round flower garden. A long table was placed on the grass, and the table was covered with a white cloth. On top of it, there was a variety of delicious food.When Arabella found Sam, he was holding a plate of cake while his gaze was on Xander Hall, who was talking with another person by the water fountain.She patted his shoulder from behind. Perhaps he was frightened, so his reaction was very big and the cake in his hands almost dropped to the ground.Sam saw her and heaved a sigh of relief before asking, “How did you get in?”“I walked in with my own two legs.” She took the cake that was yet to be touched from his hands and took a bite. It was her favorite blueberry flavor.Sam did not like to eat food that was sweet anyway and only took the cake as a cover. “No, I meant…”She knew what he was going to ask and quickly cut off his words. “Have you talked to Mayor Xander Hall?”Sam scratched his head. “I haven’t had the right timing.”She glanced at Xand

Their dispute attracted the attention of many people, who curiously stared at them.In the banquet hall, John was conversing with another person with a glass of champagne in his hand when Dan his secretary suddenly came forward and whispered a few words into his ear. He immediately smiled and said “excuse me” to the other party before passing his glass of champagne to Dan and quickly leaving the banquet hall.On the other hand, Arabella and Sam were still pestering Xander to persuade him into accepting their interview at the parterre located outside of the banquet hall.Xander was very persistent in his attitude, which made it very clear that there was no room for negotiation. Yet, faced with such a situation, his expression turned very sour and he was almost on the verge of losing it.Arabella opened her mouth and was just about to speak when she felt something heavy on her arm. A delicate hand held her arm and she turned around to take a look, only to realize that it was John.John

He understood what the secretary meant. The charity fundraiser event had just ended and there may still be some reporters around.Seeing that the two people in front of him were from a magazine agency and it was the period to select a deputy governor, if he was written about badly by them, the loss would only outweigh the gains.He tried to suppress his anger and harshly said, “Mr. Sam and Ms. Arabella, you have given me a lot of trouble. Tomorrow, your magazine agency will see my lawyer’s letter!”Arabella and Sam gasped. If Ms. Lewis found out that they did not manage to interview Mayor Hall and even invited a lawsuit, she would be furious.Caleb went to the parking lot to get the car while Daniel waited at the steps. Beside him were other presidents who also waited for their assistants to get the car.They may all be wearing suits and leather shoes, but in terms of looks and disposition, he was like a triton among minnows as he faced those who purposely engaged in a conversation wi

Ms. Lewis gave them two weeks to settle the interview. A week had passed, yet Xander Hall had a firm attitude and would not speak up anytime soon.Arabella and Sam proceeded to Ms. Lewis’ office and wanted to tell her about this matter.Before the two of them went in, they had already mentally prepared themselves and were ready to receive her scoldings. Yet they never thought that Ms. Lewis would look at them in bewilderment as she closed the magazine booklet in her hands and said, “Mayor Hall has already agreed to the interview. Didn’t you know?”The two people widened their eyes in astonishment Arabella thought that she had heard wrongly and looked at Sam. But upon seeing Sam’s surprised expression, she knew that she had heard correctly.The two people walked out of Ms. Lewis’s office in an unimaginable state.Sam could not get it. “Is Mayor Hall crazy?”Arabella wanted to know as well. Yesterday, she had utterly offended Mayor Hall and he was very firm in rejecting the interview. It

If it was Serenity, even if the receptionist had not seen her in real life before, she should have seen her on television or in the magazines.Hence, he was very sure that the person who sent the clothes over was Arabella.He passed the clothes to Caleb and asked the receptionist, “Where is she?”The receptionist replied while trembling in fear, “It’s been a while since she left.”Daniel did not say anything, only walking toward the elevator with big strides. Caleb quickly followed him and pressed the elevator for him. With a “ding” of the elevator, both of them walked in.When they went up the elevator, Daniel suddenly said, “Give a call to Arabella and tell her to come to the hotel tonight.”When Caleb called, Arabella was sitting at a cafe. The waiter had come to take her order, and she was just about to reply when Caleb called. It was not until she had ordered a cup of cappuccino and the waiter had left did she answer the call.After hearing Caleb’s words, she glanced at the peopl

Linda Bower was a wonderful woman, with gorgeous facial features and a stunning figure – she was neither fat nor thin, simply slim and well-proportioned.And it was no surprise that she was very particular about her outfit choices – she was dressed in branded goods from head to toe.As the saying goes, a good person depended on clothes as a good horse rider depended on the saddle. Today, she wore a dress made by a great designer that highlighted her elegance.Linda Bower felt a little smug when she heard the praises coming her way.Just as she was about to enter the fitting room to change, a woman walked out of the fitting room next door.Arabella Rivera noticed the woman and thought the latter looked a little familiar. Did she see her somewhere before? Just as she was trying hard to recall her memories, she heard Linda snort coldly.Jocelyn White was looking at her clothes in the mirror. When she heard Linda’s cold snort, she turned and glanced at her, “Miss Linda, do you have someth

Arabella Rivera asked the driver to drop her off by the roadside. Then, she got out and paid the fare. Soon, she found herself standing by the roadside, waiting. Not long after, Daniel Garcia’s car stopped in front of her.She pulled the door open and got in. When she saw only Daniel Garcia in the car, besides his driver Caleb, she decided to tease him again. “Aren’t President Garcia afraid of facing the wrath of Jocelyn White by not accompanying her all the way back to her place?”Daniel Garcia crossed his legs and leaned comfortably against the back of his seat. His eyebrows lifted as he glanced sideways at Arabella. Then he lazily asked, “Are you jealous?”Arabella smiled and her eyes shone like black diamonds while dimples appeared on her cheeks. “Of course, our relationship isn’t over yet, is it?”As she spoke, she leaned into his shoulder and linked her arm with his.Daniel Garcia smiled silently. And that was how they remained as the car drove along. Caleb had turned invisible.

After Daniel left, she returned to her seat. The smile on her face slowly faded and she no longer had the feminine posture from before. All her pretense was removed at this moment.As she looked at the table full of dishes, she picked up her utensils again. She wouldn’t lose her taste just because someone had left so she continued eating, slowly, by herself.Once she was done, she called the waiter to pay the bill. The waiter politely said, “Miss, President Garcia told me to put it on his tab before he left.”She nodded, wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin, picked up her bag, and left the private room.As she passed by the room Julian Hall was in, she happened to see Faye helping Calvin out.Calvin’s face was covered in bruises. The buttons on his dark purple vest over his purple shirt had been ripped off.Arabella looked past them and noticed Julian Hall was nowhere to be seen. Instead, the tables and chairs were strewn all over the floor. It looked like it had been quite an

If Something Happened to HerSam’s eyes widened as he gritted his teeth. “What did you see me write?”He had been talking all day long about his dream to be a great photographer in the future. Everyone in the magazine agency knew about it. So what did she need to peek for?“I didn’t peek.” Afraid that he wouldn’t believe her, she continued to say, “Everyone in the magazine agency knows what your wish is.”Sam felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head. “Don’t tell them that we had already come here to make a wish. You mustn’t tell them. Otherwise, they’ll make fun of me again.”“It depends on my mood,” said Arabella teasingly.Sam’s face turned pale.The wind started to pick up, and the red wishes on the branches started to dance wildly. Arabella looked up at the sky and noticed the gathering dark clouds. “I think it’s time we meet back with the rest.”“What’s the hurry? We-”A loud boom followed a bright bolt of lightning, cutting off Sam’s words. The two looked at each other,
THE DARK SECRETS OF MAFIA DON Chapter 165 Didn’t Clarify Their Relationship
“Boyfriend?” Daniel frowned slightly.Arabella pinched his waist lightly as she smiled and said, “That’s right. I think so too.”The crowd was shocked enough to find out when Sam claimed Daniel was her boyfriend. If they knew Daniel was her husband, wouldn’t this group of people explode?Ms. Lewis quickened her pace, leaving some space for the two of them. Daniel narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth. “I’m your boyfriend?”“Sam said so.” She chuckled guiltily.“But you didn’t clarify.” Daniel hit the nail on the head.Seeing that the crowd had left them far behind, she dragged him and quickened her pace. “Hurry up, hurry up. We’re falling behind. We’ll lose them at this rate.”After going through the mountain, there was an iron chain bridge that connected to the next mountain. Below it was a deep valley with a mist that lingered between the lush trees – the entire scenery looked like something out of a fairytale.The group continued on their journey over the bridge which swayed wit
THE DARK SECRETS OF MAFIA DON Chapter 64 Tell Me About Your Past
Back in the room, Arabella hugged a pillow and leaned against the bed, thinking about Jocelyn White’s words.Not long after, Daniel returned. He noticed her clothes and asked, “You haven’t showered yet?”“I have. But because you still weren’t back, I went out to look for you.” She could have changed back into his shirt earlier but she didn’t.Daniel’s clothes were either branded or high-end custom-made. It would be a pity to wear them as pajamas.Daniel took a cup of water and walked towards the dispenser. His voice was slightly hoarse as he said, “A tourist lost something valuable and called the police.”“No wonder when I went to look for you just now, there wasn’t even a staff member on the entire floor.”Those who could stay in the VIP room were rich people, so they would definitely not let go of the lost items.“They’ve all been brought in for questioning.” He drank a few mouthfuls to soothe his throat. His dry and hoarse voice gradually regained its luster. “You sleep first. I’ll

“There will always be a way.” The manager pondered for a moment and asked the question that had puzzled her all this while: “Every time you encounter difficulties, he would be there for you. Why is that?”Her manager’s words reminded her that every time Daniel met ‘that’ person, he would be flustered. She had found another way.Arabella and Daniel took the elevator to the second floor for their meal. The restaurant was very big and was divided into two types of food, Chinese and Western. The two of them decided to have Chinese today.As they entered the restaurant, Arabella was reminded of the gourmet restaurant in the mountains to eat hairy crabs. She had gone there once with Wendy Garcia and during the meal, Arabella was convinced she would return for more. But when she reached home, her stomach started to feel uncomfortable.When Mrs. Winstead found out what Arabella had eaten, the former gently chided the latter, saying that crabs are not good for pregnant women to consume.Well,
THE DARK SECRETS OF MAFIA DON Chapter 162 A Love One Can’t Get
Daniel frowned when Arabella hesitated. He took out his phone and dialed a string of numbers. It was the landline in the living room.The butler answered the call. “Young Master,” said he.“Send a car to send Miss Bower back.”Linda Bower’s face turned pale as she bit her gorgeous red lips tightly and her eyes turned misty. Her right hand subconsciously tightened around the strap of her handbag.Daniel put his phone back into his pocket and looked at Linda. “The butler will get a car to send you back.”Under Linda’s indignant gaze, he held Arabella’s hand and walked towards the car. The two got in, fastened their seatbelts, and drove away.When she could no longer see Daniel’s car, Linda was still standing stiffly, her gaze filled with hatred as she stared in the direction they had left.Perhaps it was because she had been standing in the wind for too long but her face was frighteningly pale, making the hatred and resentment in her eyes look like demonic flowers in the dark.Yesterday

As he spoke, he took out his wallet without bothering to ask how much Arabella had lost. He took out a few pieces of cash and handed them to Madam Barlowe.Arabella noticed that the bets were at least eight to nine hundred if not a thousand.Madam Barlowe took the money and counted it, then put it in the betting pile. “We shall place it here first and settle it all after the last round.”When the servants came to announce that dinner was ready, the game finally ended. Arabella and Madam Eaton lost, the former losing more than the latter. But the bets weren’t that big anyway so Arabella only lost a little more than a thousand. The women did not bet like the men usually would, in the tens or hundreds of thousands in one game. Just thinking about it made one’s heart ache.The Garcia residence’s dining room was very large with an oval dining table. Keith Garcia sat at the head with Julia Silver on his right. Daniel was the head of the Garcia family, so naturally he sat on Keith’s left. Ar

“Not bad.” Daniel closed the newspaper in his hand.Relieved, she sat down and started eating breakfast. By 8:40 a.m., the couple had driven out of South Bay, heading to the Garcia’s main residence.After driving for more than forty minutes, they arrived at their destination. The device outside the carved iron gate scanned the license plate and automatically opened the door. Daniel drove in slowly and they soon came upon a spacious opening centered with a beautiful fountain.He had called the main residence at noon yesterday to inform them that he was bringing Arabella back today. So, when the butler heard the car drive in, he led the servants out to greet Daniel in unison, “Eldest Young Master.”Daniel walked around the front of the car to the front passenger seat and opened the door. Arabella got out and was momentarily stunned by the scene greeting her. Daniel turned to the welcome party and said, “She will be the Young Madam from now on.”The servants looked at each other, still n
THE DARK SECRETS OF MAFIA DON Chapter 159 They Had Seen It Before
Daniel walked closer to her and noticed that she kept staring at him as if she was trying to confirm something. “Why are you looking at me like that?” asked he.“I’ve seen you here before.” she blurted out.Daniel frowned slightly.Knowing that he would not believe her, she described the situation. “You came to the movies with a very beautiful girl.”Daniel gave a soft hum and passed the popcorn to her. He then glanced at his watch. “It’s almost time. Let’s go in.”The drink that he had just bought was a little hot, so held it for her, just like a considerate and qualified boyfriend.As soon as the movie started, the lights went off. It was so dark that nothing could be seen except for the lights on the big screen.The female lead of the movie was played by Jocelyn White. It was a fantasy movie. Arabella hugged her popcorn and ate it while watching it. Occasionally, she would feed some to Daniel. Gabriel had been holding the hot drink in his hand the entire time. Eating popcorn made h

Daniel was not busy at all, merely standing by the window deep in thought. As she pushed the door open and entered, he turned around to look at her.Looking at his calm and expressionless face, Arabella didn’t continue walking forward. He must still be in a bad mood as he had been for the past two days.“Madam Garcia called for us to return to the main residence this weekend,” said she softly.Daniel remained silent for a moment. He had changed out of his suit after dinner and was wearing a thin collared shirt and a pair of flaxen casual pants. He looked refined and a little more approachable than when he was in his usual suit.“You don’t want to bring me back to the Garcia’s main residence, do you?” asked she cautiously.Julia had just said on the phone that Daniel either refused to answer her calls or found all sorts of excuses to abide. She couldn’t think of any other good reason besides him not wanting to introduce her to his family.As she gazed at him doubtfully, his eyes turned
