Chapter 28 You're Too Ugly!

Arlo raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Mr. Wilson, you seem to be forgetting your manners, trying to dismiss me and my girlfriend so easily."

Seeing Arlo looking so confident, Ruben began to feel uneasy.

His mind quickly churned, and he came up with a plan.

Ruben cleared his throat and forced a smile, "Arlo, I admit I've been unfair. How about this: I'll give back all the shares I've acquired recently, and we'll call it even?"

Pausing, Ruben looked at Skyler next to Arlo. "Skyler, I've watched you grow up. Even though I've made mistakes, I realize them now. Can you forgive me?"

Seeing that disgusting face, Skyler wasn't willing to just let things go like this.

This old guy had caused her parents to be imprisoned, and now he expected her to forgive him with just a few words?

Anger flashed in Skyler's eyes as she stared at Ruben, but then Arlo suddenly tugged at her.

She hesitated for a moment, then calmed down.

Taking a deep breath, Skyler suppressed her anger and said, "Mr. Wilson, everyone makes mistakes. As long as you learn from them, I forgive you!"

"Young people are so easy to deceive!"

Ruben sneered inwardly and stepped forward. "Come on, buddy, let me show you around upstairs!"

Just as Ruben's hand was about to touch Arlo's shoulder, Arlo moved.

Grabbing Ruben's hand, Arlo swiftly executed a joint lock, causing him to scream in pain and immobility.

The three bodyguards beside Ruben were ex-military, and their reactions were fast.

When they saw Arlo make a move, they rushed over.

But being only a few steps away, Arlo managed to press a blade hidden in his other hand against Ruben's neck.

"Stop!"

The sharp blade pressed against Ruben's fat neck, and a thin line of blood appeared with just a slight pressure.

The three bodyguards furrowed their brows, unsure of what to do.

"Buddy, what are you doing?"

Ruben hadn't quite grasped the situation yet; he thought Arlo was joking with him.

"Shut up! Who the hell is your buddy? Look at yourself in the mirror before calling me buddy. You're so old and still want to be called buddy, have you no shame?"

Arlo cursed while applying slight pressure with the blade, causing Ruben to feel the fear of death instantly.

The icy blade brought a piercing pain, making Ruben instantly sober. He suddenly realized, if Arlo was really Alex's man, why would he act?

The only answer was that he had been deceived!

He was about to shout for the bodyguards to attack, but when he met Arlo's fierce gaze, he faltered.

Should he gamble on whether Arlo would kill him?

Ruben didn't want to gamble; he wanted to live, to live well.

"If you don't want to die, tell your bodyguards to back off!"

Ruben knew very well that pushing the bodyguards away would only make his situation more dangerous, but what if Arlo decided to slit his throat if he didn't listen?

After a moment's hesitation, he felt the blade on his neck break the skin, and the intense pain made him abandon any hope of luck. "Back off! All of you, get out!"

"Make them go to the cabin! Lock the door behind them!"

"Didn't you hear me, Arlo? Get out! Go to the cabin and lock the door behind them!"

The three bodyguards looked at each other reluctantly, but since the employer had spoken, they had no choice but to obey.

Soon, the three of them filed into the cabin and closed the door behind them.

Ruben's face wrinkled like a chrysanthemum as he forced out a smile uglier than crying, saying, "Arlo, you, you better be careful with your hands, I'm afraid you might slip!"

Arlo gave him a cold look, now in control of the situation, he finally had the chance to ask the question on his mind, "Skyler, why did he capture you?"

"Because I have all the evidence against him! Even if it's not enough to sentence him to death, it can still ensure he dies in prison!"

Skyler stared at Ruben, explaining with a cold smile.

Although the doubt in his mind was resolved, Arlo didn't relax his vigilance, as the current situation was still far from optimistic.

Glancing at the thugs around him, Arlo slowly walked out with Ruben in tow. For every step Arlo took back, the thugs took a step forward.

When they reached the deck, a "buzzing" sound suddenly filled the sky.

Arlo turned around to see a red and white helicopter!

Ruben also saw the helicopter and exclaimed excitedly, "You're done for, Mr. Fox is here, hahaha!"

Arlo's pupils constricted, momentarily losing focus.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ruben pushed Arlo away and laughed heartily, "You're done for, you dog! You're done for! Hahaha!"

The helicopter landed on the helipad at the bow of the yacht, and as the door of the helicopter opened, Alex, dressed in a flashy white suit, stepped out.

Seeing Skyler next to Arlo, his eyes lit up, he licked his lips and smirked, "Arlo, sometimes I envy you! Why do all the beauties flock to you?"

Arlo glanced at him indifferently, mocking, "Is there a possibility?"

"Is it because you're too ugly?"
