Rose left immediately after Justin and his bodyguards left.
On the other hand, Amanda opened the door of the villa, inviting Arthur to come inside.
When the door opened, Arthur immediately saw Shopia sitting on the sofa, wearing a long white dress with her hair down, watching TV.
Her eyes moved to the door, looked at Arthur and the others, then signaled for them to enter.
At first glance, she even looked like she wanted to stand up to walk over to them, something that made Amanda smile wryly.
Arthur followed Amanda, then sat down beside her while Bella and Carla remained standing.
Shopia looked at them one by one before stopping at Amanda.
"I need an explanation, why do they have such fighting skills?" she asked her eldest daughter.
Amanda who had prepared an answer answered immediately after she sighed.
"Mom, there is a reason, but it's not something I can say. I think it's better that you don't know for now." She replied, not directly throwing everything to Arthur.
Actually, she wished she could leave Arthur out of it as long as her mother didn't force ber to answer.
Unfortunately, Shopia's mouth immediately pouted when she heard that
"You don't want to tell me?" Her eyes became rather cold, like she wanted to threaten her.
Amanda smiled wryly, she wanted to answer but closed her lips when Arthur patted her thigh.
"Mrs. Shopia, I helped them," Arthur said.
At his words, Shopia's eyes glowed for a moment.
"I guessed it," she said in a low voice. "What exactly did you do?"
This time, her eyes narrowed sharply, as if to look inside Arthur.
This kind of gaze was actually no different from the gaze Amanda and the other women gave him when they were curious about him.
It's just a little different because Shopia is the older generation here so her aura is stronger.
Arthur shrugged and replied, "It's a secret, which shouldn't be spread... There are things that are necessary before knowing it!"
"You don't want to tell me either?" Quickly, Shopia looked annoyed again.
Actually, her mood today was easily irritated because of the divorce matter with her husband.
It was not that she was sad to lose her husband, but there was a feeling of humiliation that he left her for another woman.
She was also proud and certainly didn't feel the least bit defeated by Lillian.
What would people say if the news broke?
His own family began to question him. Earning a fortune of billions of Euros was not enough to cover the shame.
Arthur responded by shaking his head with a faint smile.
Shopia's gaze did not affect him at all. Instead, Amanda and Bella were distracted.
"Mom, when the time comes, you will also know later," Bella said softly.
"It must be you two who don't want me to know, do you?" asked Shopia, looking back and forth at Amanda and Bella. It seemed that her instincts as their mother were working well at the moment.
The problem was that they were the type who liked to keep things secret from her.
"Mrs. Shopia, I still have something to take care of, so I'm leaving now," Arthur said as he stood up.
At the same time, Amanda said, "Mom, I also still have a lot of business at the company, so I have to go."
Hearing their words, Bella of course did not remain silent. "I still need to study with Carla."
Shopia, "..."
The middle-aged woman's face was frozen, staring at each person with an expression of disbelief.
Unexpectedly, she also stood up.
"Good, you two have grown up, dare to ignore me," she said to Amanda and Bella.
She smacked the table then turned around before going to the stairs.
Seeing that, Amanda and Bella looked at each other.
Unfortunately, in certain situations, like now, their mother often acted childishly.
Phew!
Amanda sighed.
Maybe it was because she was used to this, so she didn't say anything. Plus, she did have to go to the office.
"Dear, where you want to go, I'll take you," she said to Arthur.
However, the latter shook his head.
"No need, I'll just walk!"
He took a step after saying that.
Amanda remembered what he had said at the factory earlier, so she didn't push. But, Bella and Carla hurriedly followed him.
"Wait, Arthur! We want to take a walk too." Bella said.
"Didn't you say you wanted to study?" Arthur asked.
Bella smiled wryly at that. "Come on, those were just words to avoid. We've studied enough and are confident we'll be able to answer all the questions on tomorrow's exam," she replied.
Arthur wasn't entirely convinced by her words, so he looked at Carla who hadn't spoken to him until now.
"Do you also want to go for a walk?" he asked her.
"Yes, I want to be more relaxed today," she replied.
"Oh, well!" Arthur nodded, not refusing her wishes.
As for walking around the city, he just wanted to see if there had been any particular movement since the agarwood was released to the public.
He was sure that when it fell into the hands of a magus, the magus would definitely conduct an investigation.
Meanwhile, Shopia went to her room which was on the second floor, overlooking the courtyard of the villa.
She stood in front of the window, looking at Arthur and the others leaving the villa.
Her eyes lingered longer on Arthur.
Unlike when she was in front of them, she was calmer here.
"Hmph, don't take me for a fool," she said in a low voice.
Of course, she had her own guess, a guess that she found hard to believe but couldn't help but be made to believe because she saw for herself how her daughter had become so strong.
"You must have superpowers, right?" She continued to talk to herself.
This time, she also took a deep breath.
When it came to superpowers, even she was very interested, wanting it more than anything.
"Don't think I'll just shut up unless you give me that power too," she continued.
She closed the window curtains before stepping towards the wardrobe.
After opening it, she took out a pair of jeans and a long fur coat.
