The Invincible Arthur Gardner novel Chapter 62

"Marco, why did you invite us to a place like this? Just how important is Arthur to our family? Didn't you kick him out of the Brown Company? How could that stupid and scummy brat have given you such a beating?"

A plump man wearing a blue suit, looking to be in his 50s, sitting on a seat at the auto racing track stadium. Next to him was a woman who was several years younger than him, also sitting with two waiters who raised their umbrellas to cover them from the cold air.

“Daddy, Mommy…. You see, I'm going to humiliate Arthur even more today. I challenged him to a car race and unbeknownst to him I had hired two professional racers to help me. Ha ha ha ha."

Marco then answered with a proud and confident face, showing off what he was going to do to Arthur that day.

Adam and Kora Hester were the parents of Marco Hester. Adam was also the younger brother of Arthur's father, who had been disowned by the family.

Adam was wary that Arthur might still receive an inheritance in the future, so he constantly did whatever he could to put Arthur under pressure and make sure he was unable to fight for his rights.

Brandon Hester, Arthur's grandfather, was the wealthiest person in the Hester family. Ever since they had abandoned Arthur's father to marry a woman deemed mediocre, this regret had weighed heavily on Brandon's heart. Now, as Brandon was getting older and nearing his departure from this world, Adam wouldn't stay silent if there was anything that could improve Arthur's situation.

Adam then stood up, his chubby body tense with irritation. "Is it true what you said that Arthur was the reason you wasted your money a few weeks ago?" he asked with a scowl.

"Tsk!" He shook his head in disbelief. "What you said is a complete joke, Marco. How can someone like Arthur even be betting money with you? Do you really think he just won the lottery and became wealthy overnight? I'm sure he's just playing games to take advantage of your situation," he added disdainfully.

"Daddy, don't worry," Marco said with a sharp look and a faint smile. "I'll challenge Arthur to a bet today and make sure he'll be back on the street after this car race. Plus, I'll make sure to snatch up the pretty girl he was with at the time."

"Didn't you say you just got a girl pregnant?" Adam asked, looking curious. "What's her name? Arthur's ex-fiancé. Where did that girl go?"

"That bitch? She only wanted my money," Marco replied with a smirk, "so I gave her some and happily left her. Hahaha... At least that money was enough for her to terminate the pregnancy. Moreover, I just wanted her to make Arthur mad and give me a bit of consolation since she's pretty good looking, but she can really bore me quickly."

"Are they your friends Marco? Have you invited any other wealthy people to this circuit? I know that someone who can afford that car is definitely not just anyone. The owner must be one of the wealthiest men in Southlake or possibly even one of The Underworld leaders."

As the luxury car pulled up to Marco, someone stepped out of the driver's door: Arthur. He then walked up to the passenger side and opened the door, helping a young blonde girl, Edna, out of the car. Then, with Edna by his side, her arm wrapped around his left arm, Arthur walked towards Marco.

"Forgive me for being late, Mr. Marco," he said in a flat tone. "I hope you haven't lost your appetite for taking on my car race today."

"What an asshole!" Adam fumed, his face contorting in fury as he glared at Arthur. "Do you really think I'm going to be taken in by your fake wealth look, you stupid brat?"

"Ah..." Arthur stammered, taken aback by Adam's sudden, unexpected outburst.

He quickly recomposed himself and offered an apology. "I apologize; I didn't realize it was you, Mr. Adam Hester. It's a pleasure to meet you today."
