By the time Arabella returned home, it was already evening. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the floor-to-ceiling windows of the villa area were suffused with a warm yellow halo. Arabella took a deep breath and did not stay at the door for long. She opened the door and entered. The light in the living room was bright. The owner of the house had already returned. Beth Ruth wore a loose pajama. Her hands were tightly wrapped around Ezra's waist. Even under the kitchen lamp, she was still gorgeous. As if she was shocked by the sudden opening of the door, Beth Ruth looked over in surprise. When she saw Arabella, the corners of her mouth immediately curved up into a smile. "Sister, you're back. I thought you ran out because you were angry with me this morning..." Arabella did not wait for her to finish speaking. Instead, she directly pushed her aside and stared fixedly at Ezra. "Ezra, what do I have to do for you so that you can let Ruth's family go?
The weather in summer was always fickle. It was still sunny in the morning, but now the sky had become dark and gloomy. The thunder suddenly sounded not far away. Arabella's body trembled slightly in shock. After the miscarriage, her body had been very weak. Her lower abdomen had been faintly aching. The doctor even reminded her not to touch cold water, but now she directly knelt on the cold wet floor. The tiles passed the coldness to her knees. Her body trembled uncontrollably. Arabella unconsciously hugged herself tightly, and her vision gradually blurred. Arabella pinched herself hard and instantly woke up from the dizziness. Her breathing became heavier and heavier, but her thoughts became erratic little by little. It was about to rain, and the cool wind blew on her body, but Arabella felt that her body was getting hotter and hotter. Everything that happened today was her fault. As long as she could save her father, she could endure any humiliation! Arabella did n
Because he hadn't slept for the entire night, the man looked a little tired. The corners of his eyes were red, and there were even some green stubble on his chin. Seeing that Arabella had woken up, Ezra immediately retracted his gaze and took a few steps back. With a careless look, he lazily leaned against the door frame. "You are really delicate. You just knelt for a night, and then you fainted in a short while?" The man was expressionless, "You think that you can make me let Aden Ruth go just like that? It won't work." Arabella lowered her eyes and softly said, "I didn't." The woman's voice was hoarse, so weak that it seemed like it would disappear with a gust of wind, and a trace of impatience flashed through Ezra's eyes. "Since you failed what you said yesterday, then you shouldn't ask me to help Aden Ruth anymore." "No, no, I can do it!" Arabella stopped breathing for a moment and immediately shook her head in panic.
As soon as Arabella was brought into the court by Ezra, she saw Grace Ruth in the relative area from afar. Because of the sudden accident, the woman had lost a lot of weight. The cheekbones were so thin, and she was so fragile that she seemed to fall apart when the wind blew. Her mother's originally well-maintained skin had become rough from running around. Her eyes were sad and tearful, but she just stared at her father on the dock. Arabella felt a stabbing pain in her heart. Her parents were not far away from her, but she knew that this might be a rare reunion of her family. The court was quiet, but the quiet and solemn atmosphere made Arabella unable to breathe. "Aden Ruth, you are suspected of fraud and other crimes. Do you have any doubts about the previous statements?" The eyes of the audience instantly shifted to the only man standing. Aden Ruth, who had always been serious and steady, was shackled and had been tortured by the prison for a few days. He
It was this move again. Ezra chuckled, not hiding the contempt and impatience in his eyes at all. "Arabella, if you really dare to attack them, I will let Aden Ruth slash at the exact same place in your body." Ezra's voice was magnetic and deep. He raised his deep eyes slightly and sneered at Arabella, "Just try it. Today, there is no blood. I, Ezra, will never let you go." Arabella's eyes widened, and the hand holding the knife trembled slightly. She subconsciously withdrew the knife. Her throat tightened. In terms of ruthlessness, no one could compare to Ezra James, and even if she dared to gamble with her life, she knew that Ezra would really do what he said. The panic and uneasiness in Arabella's eyes pleased Ezra. His thin lips curved, and he raised his chin to the people next to him. He lazily embraced Beth Ruth and stared at Arabella as if he was watching a good show. "Alright, don't worry about her. You guys move quickly, and I will
"I underestimated you, Arabella." Ezra pinched Arabella's neck and laughed in a low voice. "Do you think I can't do anything to you just because you are dead? Let me tell you, I have many tricks up my sleeve. If you think everything will be over after you die, then you are too naive. I will not let your parents go." Arabella raised her heavy eyes and looked at Ezra. Her hand that held Ezra was cold and powerless. She had a face that looked like she was ready to die. Her eyes, which were already hopeless, flashed with a bit of hatred. She smiled slightly, and her tone was actually a bit playful. "Don't worry, I won't die before I completely make you feel disgusted." Seeing the hatred in Arabella's eyes, Ezra instantly lost his appetite. He shook Arabella off, stood up straight, and said word by word. "Arabella, I haven't played enough yet. I want to see how many lives you have left to play with me." Arabella was thrown to the edg
Emma did not expect things to turn out like this. Everything seemed to be going out of control. She had her back to Arabella, her lowered face looking complicated. They had been by each other's side since they were very young. Arabella, who used to walk beside her with a gentle smile, now was hurt like this by others... If even she could not reach out to help her, who could Arabella rely on? "Arabella, I..." Just as Emma was about to persuade her again, Wyatt suddenly knocked on the door and came in. "Emma, it's time for us to leave. Let's visit next time!" Before Emma could react, she was suddenly pulled back a few steps by Wyatt. "Eh? What are you doing" She frowned and patted Wyatt's hand. She found that Wyatt's actions were so tough that she couldn't resist. As she walked, he winked at her. Emma was a little hesitant, but she still followed his words and shouted to Arabella on the bed. "Arabella, you should rest first.
Arabella walked slowly on the sidewalk. It had been a long time since she had seen such a good street view. The red light not far away flashed rapidly. The dazzling light reflected the halo. Everything in the world seemed to be running according to the rules. Only Arabella's life seemed to have changed overnight. She looked down at her shoes and let the breeze pass through her hair. She did not know how to face Ezra. All the misunderstandings were like a dead knot, and she had no clue how to solve them. No matter how she pleaded, he would only refuse with more excessive demands. He said with a smile that he was willing to give her a chance, but in fact, he just wanted to see her make a fool of herself in another way. Arabella smiled indifferently, the mockery in her eyes unknown whether she was laughing at herself or the others. In the world, the only person who could soften Ezra's heart was Beth Ruth? Beth was a person who could change a man's expression with just a f
