Chapter 716


    After another bout of apologies, Aaron left.


    Sophia was extremely conflicted. Arthur had acquired her father’spany through despicable means,


    even sending him to the police and giving him a debt of one billion. Did her family still have to be


    grateful to him just because he kindly repaid the debt for her father? He was the cause of the trouble


    and also the solution to it; her family was innocent in all this. Was all of this because she identally


    picked up his family heirloom and lost it?


    “Sophia, stay away from Mr. Weiss. You shouldn’t get involved with a man like him, understand? It


    might cost you your life,” Drake warned his daughter somberly.


    “I will, Dad,” she promised.


    “From a nce, I can tell that he’s a spoiled child from a rich family who’s used to doing whatever he


    wants without caring about anything.” The more Drake thought about it, the angrier he felt, and he had


    no affection for Arthur at all.


    Sophia went upstairs and sprawled out on her bed, her heart feeling inexplicably heavy. Meanwhile, in


    a cab, the screen of her silenced phone repeatedly lit up with unanswered calls from a certain


    someone.


    After dialing onest time, Arthur couldn’t control his temper and threw his phone on the couch beside


    him before it fell on the carpet with a pitiful thud. “Damn it, why isn’t she answering?”


    When Elliot returned to the Presgrave Residence at night, Anastasia sat with him on the couch in the


    living room.


    “If you’re scared, let’s go home,” he said to her.


    She shook her head. “Grandma loves us so much. Even if she is on the other side, she’ll definitely still


    love us.”


    He kissed her hair. “You’re right.”


    However, Elliot took her back to the vi a littleter in the end. When Anastasia woke up after a good


    night’s sleep, she found that the man next to her was gone, and she got up after putting on a jacket. In


    the living room, Elliot was drinking alone on the couch. There were several extinguished cigarette butts


    in the ashtray next to him. Anastasia felt sorry for him, but couldn’t find the words tofort him. After


    all, his love for his grandmother was stronger than mere family affection.

    She went downstairs and held onto the tipsy man. “Let’s go back to the room and sleep.”


    All of a sudden, Elliot hugged her. The man, who hadn’t cried in front of anyone from start to end,


    buried his head in her hair as a stream of tears slipped from his red eyes. Anastasia patted him on the


    shoulder and hugged him tightly. That night, this man who was usually strong and powerful was at his


    most vulnerable.


    Half an hourter, he nodded off while in her embrace after losing sleep for nearly two nights. When


    shebed through her hair, she noticed that it was slightly damp, and she felt even more pained as


    she looked at the man in her arms.


    Early in the morning at the Goodwin Residence, Sophia had gone to work when a ck SUV stopped


    at the entrance around ten o’clock. The man who stepped out of the car had a handsome yet cold face,


    and he was donnedpletely in ck, making him look extremely unapproachable.


    Emma was watering in the garden when she saw the person outside the entrance. She walked over


    and opened the small gate, and asked him unceremoniously, “Can I help you, Mr. Weiss?”


    However, Arthur was polite as he asked, “Hello, Mrs. Goodwin. Is Sophia at home?”


    “Sophia won’t be seeing you in the future. You should leave!” Emma was nearly going to lose her


    temper. After learning the truth about her husband’s bankruptcy the previous night, she was so angry


    that she could barely sleep.


    “Why?” Arthur slightly furrowed his beautiful eyebrows. Did he make her angry?


    “Close the gate, Emma. And what did he say?” Drake’s voice sounded from behind.


    Emma reached out and shut the small gate of the vi, saying to him through the bars, “Don’te


    looking for my daughter in the future. I’ll make her stay away from you.”


    Arthur fell silent at her words.


    As Drake’s leg was notpletely healed yet, he only stood by the door and didn’t go over to them as


    he asked his wife toe back instead.


    “Mrs. Goodwin, can you please tell me what happened to Sophia?”


    Emma was just about to leave, but when she saw that Arthur was still asking questions, she turned


    around with a sneer. “I’m telling you, young man, you shouldn’t be too cruel and despicable when


    you’re doing things. One day, you’ll be put in your ce.”
