Chapter 125
If Arnold found out that Kayla's biological parents and brother were such people, would he also feel disappointed
and contemptuous toward her? Just then, her friends called from outside.
"Kayla, are you done? Mr. Lawson is here! | saw him coming up on the elevator on the second floor. He's headed
this way!"
Kayla clenched her fists and replied, "I'll be out in a moment!"
If one listened closely, one could hear a hint of panic in her voice.
Shawn held up a finger, insisting, "Dear Kayla, 30 million dollars to sever ties is quite a deal, don't you agree?"
"Giveyour bank account number!" Kayla said while initiating the transfer, her tone laced with menace.
"You'd better remember your words, or | swear I'll make you regret it!"
And just like that, 30 million dollars was deposited into Shawn's bank account. It was so easy that Shawn could
barely believe it. Things had gone so smoothly!

He believed that Kayla had an unlimited black card and that she received countless gifts worth hundreds of
millions on her birthday.
They were true too. She was indeed treated like a precious princess by the Fuller family. To her, 30 million dollars
was just pocket change, and she didn't hesitate to part with it.
In fact, she was willing to spend this amount for a bit of peace.
Kayla shook off Shawn's hand and turned to leave the restroom. This time, he didn't try to stop her.
He licked his lips, greed swelling in his eyes once more.
As Kayla returned to the mall's lounge area, she saw Arnold approaching. The man stood tall and elegant, his
handsfeatures striking and refined.
As the future heir of the Lawson family, every gesture and movement of his exuded confidence and nobility.
From the moment he appeared, he drew a lot of attention. He shone brightly in the crowd. Kayla's face lit up. She
stood on her tiptoes, calling out, "Arnie!"
Arnold walked over, ruffling Kayla's hair and asking, "Are you feeling better?"
Before she could answer, her friends chimed in playfully from behind, told yo Mr. Lawson doesn't see aelse! His
heart and eyes are all for Kayla!"
"Exactly! Just look at the way he's gazing at her-it's making people envious!"
"Right? We should be considerate and not be third wheels here!"
Her friends bantered back and forth, causing Kayla to blush. She playfully admonished them, "Hey, stop it..."
Arnold maintained his usual calm demeanor, giving nothing away.
Once her friends left, Kayla linked her arm with Arnold's and gave a playful pout. "Arnie, I'm hungry. Will you take
Arnold sighed and said with a hint of affection in his voice, "Alright, let's go."
The night before the engagement banquet, Arnold had rebuffed Kayla's advances and made it clear that he
regarded her only as a sister.

The relationship that should've been
severed was restored to its original
state after Kayla's wrist-cutting incident. To avoid upsetting her, Arnold kept silent about it.
Kayla was happy to pretend everything was fine. She becbolder and teased him in small ways, trying to
push the boundaries of their relationship.
While they were eating, Kayla suddenly remembered something and asked, "Arnie, how is Mr. Lawson Senior? Is
he feeling better?"
Arnold nodded. "He's getting better."
"Then, after we finish eating, let's
visit Mr. Lawson Senior. | should et
apologize to him. Because of me, your engagement party with Felicia didn't go through..."
"Sounds good."
