Be My Man, Mr. Jenkins By Flora Julius

Chapter 25 

Adriane made a big promise to Arthur that she would cook whatever he wanted to eat when he recovered from illness. 

He suddenly felt that the promise was quite beautiful. 

Having the pantryman clean up the desk, Yael was so excited at the sight of all the empty plates. 

“Mr. Arthur, you finished all the food? I will call the doctor! He must be very happy!” 

Not taking credit for it, Adriane cracked a smile on her face. 

Unexpectedly, Arthur who had eaten two bowls of porridge started putting on an act. He said to Yael, “Adriane ate them all.” 

“Sorry. I was mistaken,” Yael said. 

“I only ate half a bowl of porridge! It was not easy for me to snatch it from Mr. Arthurl He ate up most of the dishes, yet he still refuses to admit it! Artie…” Adriane felt that she had to expose Arthur’s lie, 

Before she could finish her words, Arthur interrupted her. “You had enough rest. Follow me downstairs.” 

After his interjection, Yael left with the pantryman. Pushing Arthur’s wheelchair into the elevator, Adriane made faces behind him. 

“What are you doing?” Arthur did not look back, but it was as if he had eyes on the back of the head. 

“Nothing.” She quickly restored her equilibrium, not daring to move anymore. She also did not see that Arthur who had his back to her showed a faint smile on his face. 

Reaching the first floor, she found that many people were standing in the living room. At the sight of Arthur, they all looked over and greeted him respectfully. “Mr. Arthur” 

In the middle of the crowd stood Zack Frost. His arm, hung on his other shoulder, was in a plaster cast. 

The other people were the men who were with Zack yesterday. 

Facing these people, Arthur withdrew all his gentleness. His pale face, tightly pursed lips, and cold gaze made him look exceptionally ruthless. 

“Do you know why I called all of you here?” Arthur questioned them, conveying a hint of anger. 

The group of young masters who argued about “what’s so great about that cripple” yesterday were suppressed by his vigor which was so terrifying that they did not dare to raise their heads. No one dared to utter a word. 

Zack’s lips turned purple due to the shock. He looked at Adriane in disbelief. 

After all, he had not expected to be dragged here by Arthur’s men while he was still lying in the hospital. Even his parents did not dare to stop them. 

He heard that Arthur Jenkins had become extremely violent after being crippled. He thought to himself, “Am I going to die here today?” 

He regretted what he had done. He should not have brought Adriane to the race track. 

“Are you all mute?” Arthur’s long, narrow eyes scanned the room, dwelling on the man in the corner who shuddered with fear. The man said immediately, “Mr. Arthur, Zack Frost is not our friend.” 

With him taking the lead, the others also said, “We were all fooled by Zack Frost!” 

“Yesterday, he even insisted on riding your horse and pushed Miss Stewart to the fence!” 

“yes, he was the one who insisted on horse racing, but he fell off his horse and embarrassed himself. I have a video here as proof.” 

Arthur quietly listened to them as the storm of anger came into being in his deep dark eyes. 

Chapter 25 

Mon, 

Turning to look at Adriane, Arthur spoke with a gentle voice, “Adria, with which hand did he push you?” 

Under the gaze of the crowd, Adriane said clearly, “It’s his fractured right hand.” 

“Then cut off his finger.” Arthur spat out a few words lightly as if he had sentenced Zack Frost to death. 

Zack knelt and begged in a panic before Yael led his men forward. “Mr. Arthur, please let me go. I was being such a stupid bastard: won’t dare to do it again!” 

Hearing his words, Arthur did not give any response. Crying miserably, he said to Adriane, “Adriane, help me! help me! I can’t lose my fingers!” 

“Don’t worry.” Facing the desperate Zack Frost, Arthur smiled emotionlessly. “After your fingers get chopped off, I’ll get a doctor to heal your wounds.” 

Yael had already pressed Zack down. Taking out a knife, the bodyguard was about to cut off his fingers. 

Adriane finally spoke, “Wait.” 

The bodyguard subconsciously stopped, taking a quizzical look at Arthur. As for the others, they kept quiet out of fear. 

She was afraid too, but she still said bravely, “Artie, I’ve already punished him.” 

“That was not a real punishment.” Arthur’s side face looked sinister and gruesome in Zack’s eyes. “If you don’t teach him a lesson, he won’t learn.” 

The so–called friends of Zack all thought that Arthur had gone crazy. He wanted to cut off Zack’s fingers! Fortunately, they did not do anything to Adriane yesterday. Otherwise, they would be the ones to die! 

Although having no sympathy for Zack, she could not allow Arthur to do such a thing in front of everyone. Alexander kept his eyes on him every minute, wanting to replace him. It would not be a wise choice to do something outrageous in front of the crowd at that moment. 

Thus, mustering all her courage, she held Arthur’s hand. “Artie, please. Don’t do that.” 

Arthur stared at her for a long time. No one in the living room dared to utter a word. 

In the end, he compromised. “Let him go. From today on, we’ll cancel these people’s membership in Feston Equestrian Center. Does Zack Frost really love Isabella? Then let him clean her stable for a month.” 

These young masters who had their memberships canceled did not dare to fight against Arthur, so they vented their anger on Zack. 

After Yael relaxed his grip, Zack sprawled on the ground, not daring to raise his head. He kept his fingers no matter what. 

The trauma that Arthur had brought on to his soul was enough to make him disappear from the world of Adriane for a long time. 

Yael and Arthur looked at each other in silence. “Mr. Arthur is tired.” 

Everyone left quickly, leaving Adriane and Arthur in the living room. 

She sighed, sitting beside his wheelchair. She looked up at him. “Your original intention was to let Zack serve Isabella, right?” 

Arthur was surprised, raising his eyebrows slightly. 

She laughed. “At first, I thought you were going to cut off his fingers. It scared me. But after you said your final decision, I realized that it was all your plan.” 

It was better to conquer one’s mind than take one’s life. Cutting off Zack’s finger might make these people afraid of him, but it would also cause endless trouble in the future. So, first, he threatened Zack, then sent him to the race track as a warning to others. 

Arthur looked at Adriane quietly for a moment, then smiled. “You’re not that stupid.” 

She said with a pouting smile, “Next time could you tell me first?” 

He seemed to be in a good mood as he steered the wheelchair away. “No.” 

Chapter 25 

The news that Mr. Arthur was outraged for a beauty quickly spread throughout Berkton City. Many people were asking, “Who is Adriane Stewart?”
