Revenge Of The Rogue Heiress novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40 

Arthur said coldly without looking back, Mind your own business. Go cut your watermelon.” 

In response, Finnegan confidently remarked, You must like her. You’ve never cared so much about a woman before!” 

Upon hearing that, Arthur narrowed his eyes slightly

He thought, Do I like her!‘ 

Indeed, he had a favorable impression of Evangeline

From their first meeting, he noticed she was different and intriguing

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have lent her a house before the deal was sealed

However, he had never had a crush on anyone before, so he didn’t know what it felt like to be fond of someone

Finnegan said, Silence is consent. You do like her

Arthur remained silent

Then, Finnegan walked up to Arthur, circled him, and sized him up. He spoke I used to think you didn’t like women. I thought you were gay. Never expected you to like a mentally unstable woman like Evangeline” 

He added, You have a unique preference!” 

Arthur raised his gaze and looked at Finnegan coldly. Do you have a death wish? Evangeline hasn’t been diagnosed yet. It cannot be proven she is sick mentally. Watch your words

Finnegan cowered and said bitterly, Tm just kidding Why are you angry? Besides, liking someone with mental issues is not embarrassing. She’s so beautiful Even if she’s mentally unstable, it doesn’t matter

The coldness in Arthur’s eyes intensified, and a dangerous aura emanated from him

Cold sweat broke out on Finnegan’s forehead. He quickly retreated before Arthur erupted

It took Arthur half an hour to prepare two dishes and a soup

He made scrambled eggs, pork carnitas, and mushroom soup

Evangeline entered the dining room and sat across from Arthur

Since Finnegan had left after helping Evangeline cut the watermelon, it was just the two of them

Evangeline took a bite and raised an eyebrow. She said, I didn’t expect a rich guy like you to cook. And your culinary skills are not bad.” 

Eating delicious food always improved her mood, so she wasn’t as angry about Arthur’s uninvited intrusion

Arthur chuckled and said, “I wasn’t wealthy from the beginning, I was quite poor until I turned 18. After that, I started my own business and gradually became successful.” 

Evangeline was surprised. You didn’t have family support! Did you start from scratch

Well, I grew up in an orphanage. My family hadn’t found me before I became successful, so I didn’t have their help Arthur explained

Evangeline praised without reservation, That’s impressive, building your company from scratch and turning it so successful” 

Now, Ferdinand Group had surpassed the Gallagher Group, becoming the top enterprise in Hofcaster

Arthur had become the wealthiest man Hofcaster

The Gallagher family became the richest in Hofcaster because the Gallagher Group had been run by three generations and accumulated many -connections and wealth

Chapter 40 

However, Arthur was only 26 years old. He started his own business at 18 years old. Then, it took him less than eight years to turn his company into the best enterprise in Hofcaster. It was a formidable feat

Upon hearing Evangeline’s praise, Arthur raised his eyebrows

He cleared his throat and said, You’re impressive too. I watched your livestream. Your courage and skills are remarkable.” 

Just slightly emotionally unstable, prone to getting mad, he thought

Evangeline, with her mouth full, didn’t respond

Seemingly casual, Arthur asked, I’m curious; what kind of man does a capable woman like you like?” 

After swallowing, Evangeline replied, I like a man who doesn’t breathe” 

Arthur’s expression stiffened after he heard her response

Evangeline looked at him with a halfsmile. She continued, A man who doesn’t breathe is truly a plus point” 

Arthur lowered his eyes and ate in silence

Both fell into silence and finished their meal 

After that, Arthur thought for a while and decided to express his thoughts to Evangeline, saying, Evangeline, the guy earlier is my friend. He’s a psychologist, I asked him to come and check on you.” 

Evangeline looked puzzled and asked, Check on me for what?” 

Arthur said solemnly. When I watched your livestream. I felt your mental state was a bit concerning… 

Evangeline’s face darkened; she looked displeased as she asked, Are you suspecting that I’m sick in the head or that I have a mental illness?Arthur wanted to say he suspected both 

However, he kept this to himself and didn’t dare to voice his thoughts

He said euphemistically. Many viewers are worried about your mental state. They think you’re being mistreated by the Gallagher family, driving you to mental disorder. I happen to know a psychologist, so I invited him to take a look at you.” 

Evangeline asked, Don’t bring up those things. Tell me. Why do you think I’m mentally unstable?” 

Arthur was silent for a long time before he said, You often crawl on the ground. Normal people wouldn’t do that.” 

Evangeline looked at him silently with a gaze as if he were an idiot

After a while, she said, “Have you heard of supta matsyendrasana!” 

What?Arthur looked puzzled

Evangeline explained, Supta matsyendrasana is a term in traditional combat arts. It means to open the spine, to move and control it precisely, making it more flexible” 

Of course, traditional supta matsyendrasana didn’t involve crawling on the ground but using other ways to make one more flexible

However, Evangeline thought imitating animal movements by crawling on the floor would be more effective and easy

After listening to her explanation, Arthur looked skeptical, asking, Is there really such a move in traditional combat aris!” 

Evangeline replied, Yes, something like that.” 

She added, People like you who work in offices are wellsuited for supta matsyendrasana. It can relieve fatigue in your back and waist.” Before Arthur could say anything, Evangeline grabbed his arm and pulled him up. Come on, let me show you!” 

Thanks, but I don’t need it I can get a massage if I’m tired,Arthur politely declined

However, Evangeline, as if not hearing him, dragged him out of the mansion to the garden outside

With an indifferent tone, Evangeline said, Try it. Supta matsyendrasana is very comfortable. Once you experience it, you’ll love this exercise

She continued. If you’re unwilling to try, that will mean you disapprove of my actions, and we have different values. There’s no need to meet in person if that’s the case. We can contact each other by phone

Arthur was rendered speechless

He felt that Evangeline was deliberately trying to get back at him

was revenge on his suspicion that she was mentally ill

However, he couldn’t help but envy her at the thought of how she let herself go without being selfconscious in the forest and at the press conference. He had suppressed himself for too long

He had suppressed himself for too long, and now, he also wanted to be unrestrained

Since no one was around, he thought it wouldn’t hurt to try it 

Arthur slowly got down on all fours, somewhat awkwardly saying to Evangeline, “I feel embarrassed doing it alone. Can you do it with me!” 

Evangeline, very generously, smoothly performed a pushup

Thus, led by Evangeline, they crawled on the ground together

He felt slightly uncomfortable at first

But after crawling for a while, it surprisingly felt good 

Arthur was pleasantly surprised by this revelation

He thought, So what Evangeline said was true

Bang

Bangl 

Bang

Just then, three thuds sounded from behind

As Arthur maintained his fourlimbed position, he turned to look

Suddenly, the joyful expression on his face froze, and his body stiffened

Behind him stood three people

It was Finnegan, who had returned, and two of his friends. Steven Rouse and Hugo Snyder

As they stared at Arthur and Evangeline in disbelief, they had their mouth agape. Their expressions looked like they had seen a ghost in broad daylight

Evangeline stood 

up, calmly brushing off the grass from her hands, and asked coldly. Who are they

Upon hearing Evangeline’s voice, Arthur finally snapped out of it

He stood up from the ground with a gloomy face and explained to Evangeline, They are my friends. You’ve met Finnegan. The one who looks feminine is Steven Rouse, and the one who looks like a womanizer is Hugo Synder.” 

Everyone turned speechless at Arthur’s introduction

Soon, they came to their senses

Steven stepped forward, throwing a punch at Anhur. He spoke. What do you mean I look feminine! My features are just delicate. Got it?Arthur avoided his punch and kicked him away. He said disdainfully. Stay away from me. It’s all because of you people think I like men.” 

Steven was at a loss fo
