Chapter 603
Night of Destiny
âWhat can I do for you, sir?â Drake said with a smile as he greeted the young man. He searched his
memory, but he couldnât seem to remember or know such a figure.
âThis is our Young Master. His family name is Weiss, so you may call him Young Master Weiss,â Arthurâs
bodyguard replied in a deep voice.
Drake carefully searched his memory again for a family surnamed Weiss, but nothing came to mind. He
couldnât help but ask, âMr. Weiss, may I know who your father is?â
âYouâre not qualified to know that,â Arthur replied impassively.
Drake was rendered speechless for a moment. Iâve never seen such an arrogant young man before, he
thought. Holding back his temper, he asked, âIn that case, Young Master Weiss, what makes you
come to me at this time of night?â
Arthur darted his eyes toward the couple.
âYour daughter has stolen my family heirloom, so Iâm here to look for her. âWhat? You mean Sophia has
stolen from
you? Thatâs impossible! Sophia never
steals from anyone,â Emma immediately
retorted for Sophiaâs sake.
âYour daughter has stolen Young Master Weissâ priceless family heirloom in a bar. Please return it
immediately,â Arthurâs bodyguard replied.
Drake thought this was impossible, though. âThis has got to be a misunderstanding, or you guys mustâve
gotten the wrong person. My daughter isnât in the country. She went abroad a month ago.â
The bodyguard produced an iPad and handed it to the couple. âIs this your daughter?â
Emma immediately took the iPad to confirm it, and sure enough, she recognized Sophia at a glance
despite the latterâs heavy makeup. âWhatâs wrong with Sophia? Itâs indeed my daughter in
the video, but she wonât steal anything
âWhere is she?â Arthur asked, narrowing his glacial eyes.
âMy daughter isnât in the country. And besides, weâve lost touch with her as well. Iâm sorry, Young Master
Weiss, but Iâm afraid you have to wait until she comes back. When she does, weâll immediately ask her
about this Emma replied honestly.
âWait? I hate this word the most.â Arthur had run out of patience because of this, so it was impossible for
him to wait any longer.
âBut thereâs nothing we can do about this. We canât get in touch with our daughter at the moment. If sheâs
really taken something from you, weâll definitely ask her to return it.â
âYour daughter has taken Young Master Weissâ dearest possession. If the object is broken, thereâs no
way you can afford to pay for it. The bodyguard explained the gravity of the situation.
Drake and Emma exchanged a brief look. Then, Drake promised. If our daughter has really taken it, weâll
definitely give it back to you in perfect condition
âYour daughter went abroad to avoid getting married, so y o you guys canât get in touch with her for the
time being, right? I have a way to make her contact you guys,â Arthurâs eyes flickered menacingly like a
demon spreading its dark wings.
âWhat way?â Emma asked curiously.
âYouâll know that very soon,â Arthur replied impassively. Then, he said to his bodyguard, âLetâs go!â
Drake and Emma watched as the mysterious man showed up and left after leaving behind a jumble of
mysteries. It was as though he came and left without leaving behind any traces of it.
âWhere is this Young Master Weiss from?â Emma promptly asked Drake.
âWho am I supposed to ask that question? Iâve thought about it for a long time, but I couldnât recall
anyone surnamed Weiss
among the bigwigs that I know of. Perhaps heâs just a nobody,â Drake said in vexation. Itâs rare for a
young man to have the audacity to talk so big.
Having observed Arthur more carefully, Emma replied, âIt doesnât seem so to me. Both his bearing and
the way he dresses are definitely those of a kid from a rich family. Not only that, but heâs good looking,
too.â
âStill, he accused our daughter of stealing from him! Sophia has never been short of anything since she
was little, so what could she have stolen from him? I think heâs just making a fuss over nothing.â Drake
looked down on such gilded youth. âHow could I not know what kind of a person Iâve brought Sophia up
to be? Sheâd never steal anything. She had never even taken one more candy from others since she was
little! So, just ignore him.â
However, Emma asked again curiously, s âHe just said that he has a way to make Sophia contact us
voluntarily. What way could it be?â
Drake couldnât wrap his head around it either. How can he find our daughter, whom weâre unable to find
after doing everything possible?
He was just about to go to sleep that night when he suddenly got a phone call. âBad news, Mr. Goodwin!
Someone has bought the Alpire Group, and the capital project that we just negotiated last month has
been canceled!â
