Chapter 949


    With a loud bang, Arnold’s back mmed into the bookshelf, sending books tumbling down. A book fell


    on his head, which made his ears buzz with pain.


    Arnold said in shock, “Asher! What are you doing?”


    “I warned you, but you didn’t listen.”


    Asher realized that Arnold was hurt. He felt a surge of emotions, but he quickly regained his


    composure.


    “Arnold, my sister asked for your help, but that doesn’t mean you can take advantage of me. The


    incident from that night ends here. If you behave, we can still consider each other rtives. But if this


    happens again, I don’t even know what I’ll do next time.”

    Asher had always been known for having a fiery temperpared to the other Thompson siblings. If


    this had happened ten years ago, he would have incapacitated any man who dared to get close to him


    like this without any hesitation.


    Arnold’s fingers clenched tightly as he spoke with a trembling voice.” Asher, are you not acknowledging


    what happened between us that


    night?”


    “We hugged and kissed. So what?”


    Asher slowly swiveled the leather chair to face Arnold. He took off his sses and sneered with a


    restrained and cold expression. ”


    Everything ends here. Arnold, deep down, you know what really happened that night. If it weren’t for


    you taking the initiative, nothing


    would have happened.”


    “Asher, you could have refused me like you did earlier. But you didn’t!”


    Arnold shot him an angry re, like a tousled fox with its fur standing on end. “So you do have feelings


    for me after all! Even if I stripped


    naked and threw myself into your arms, nothing would have


    happened without your consent!”


    “Arnold, I’ve looked into you. Your love life in Meridan was quite


    diverse. I heard you explored the gaymunity there extensively and had numerous rtionships


    with men. The number of men you


    were with is uncountable.”


    “Asher…”


    Arnold was taken aback by Asher’s question, feeling incredibly vulnerable at that moment.


    “I need to know,” Asher continued. “Did you truly have feelings for those men when you slept with


    them?”


    Arnold felt a sharp pang in his chest


    ‘Feelings?’


    He had never truly had feelings for anyone. Those one-night stands were merely to get through the


    lonely nights. He was just lonely and craved somepany.


    “You probably have the answer deep down in your heart.


    Coincidentally, my feelings for you are the same as what you’re thinking.”


    Asher’s expression remained cold. “We’re all adults here, Arnold. Stop


    ying games.”,


    Arnold felt a sudden surge of pain in his heart, but before he could


    speak, there M’s voice followed, “Asher,


    was a knock on the door.


    Arnold, are you in there? Can Ie in?”


    Asher took a deep breath as he stood up and walked to the door, opening it himself.


    “Aunt M,” Asher greeted her, instantly putting on a gentle smile.


    “Asher, are you two chatting? I heard something fall in the study… Is


    everything okay?” M asked as she cautiously nced into the study.


    “Everything is okay, Aunt M. Are you looking for me or Arnold?” Asher asked calmly.


    “Mainly you.”


    M paused for a moment and whispered, “Next week, I’ll be


    attending a grand horse racing event in Savrow with Wyatt. This event


    is very important for a major project coboration.”


    Then she quickly added, “I’ve suggested that Wyatt and others go as well. But the Salvadors will also


    be there on that day, so Shannon is bound to be present. Celeste definitely wouldn’t attend, while


    Sasha is interested in the horse racing event. However, if we all go, the media might make a fuss.”


    Asher said understandingly, “Aunt M, I understand. You don’t have to exin. Over the years, you’ve


    apanied Dad to many significant events. It’s yourposed manner and thoughtful consideration


    that make Dad feel at ease with you by his side.”


    “Wyatt also mentioned that not only the Salvadors will be there on


    Chapter 430)


    that day, but also the Hoffmans and the Iversons.”


    Asher responded with a darkened expression, “I understand. I’ll make sure Be doesn’t attend the


    event.”


    M sighed, appearing extremely concerned. I had a feeling this would happen and discussed it with


    Wyatt, but your father insisted that Be go. He said there’s something important to discuss.”


    “Something important?” Asher frowned.


    “I pressed Wyatt for details, but he wouldn’t budge.”
