Chapter 605
Night of Destiny
As Elliot had a department dedicated to collecting any information related to the corporate world, it was
impossible for him not to know about this.
âTell me why you did it,â he asked curiously.
âIf anyone is to blame, itâs their fault for giving birth to a daughter who made me
angry.â âIs their daughter the one who stole your family heirloom? Elliot asked, his
eyebrows raised.
Arthur nodded. âThatâs right. Sheâs also missing, so I have no idea what sheâs done to my family heirloom
either.â
âYou made such a huge fuss just to force her to show up on her own, right?â Elliot knew Arthur well.
âSheâs lucky that didnât do anything
else. Arthur picked up a glass from the table and took a sip. âWhen she comes back, sheâll pay for it
At his words, Elliot felt a hint of pity for the girl.
Arthur propped up his chin and asked, âElliot, what do you think I should give you as a wedding gift? Tell
me, what else do you need?â
âItâs fine. You can just give me a simple gift.â Elliot didnât want him to break the bank for a present.
âI want to give my godson a present too, but I donât know what children like.â
âHe likes Lego, so you can just give him at few boxes.â Elliot added with a smile, âIf you canât, you can
also hurry up and get married to give him a younger brother or sister to play with.â
âSay, come and be my best man!â Ellion invited.
âI canât.â Arthur waved a hand.
âWhy not?â
âBecause I might steal all your glory!â Arthur teased.
âThat wouldnât happen. Elliot was confident in himself as well.
The two buddies looked at each other and laughed. This kind of happiness between friends was simple
and pure. and sometimes even naive.
On the street of a certain country, a girl had just finished shopping with her friend when a page of a
newspaper flew toward her feet all of a sudden. She kindly picked up the trash and was about to throw it
into a nearby trash can, but just as she was about to do so, she saw a familiar face. It was an enlarged
photo, and seeing the man in the picture immediately sent a pang to her heart. She exclaimed, âDad!â
Immediately after, she quickly unfolded the entire newspaper and saw the picture of her father on the
headline with a text description next to it, and another picture of her father being taken into the car by the
police.
âHow could this be? Why was my dad caught, and why did the company go bankrupt?â The girl clutched
the
newspaper tightly, feeling shocked to the core.
âSophia, whatâs wrong?â Her friend rushed over to support her, who was about to faint..
âMy dad! My dad was captured. I have to go back home.â
Saying that, Sophia fished out her phone and called her mother. This was her first time contacting her
family ever since she bailed on her marriage a month ago.
âHello?â Emmaâs voice sounded exhausted.
âMom, itâs me. What happened to Dad? Why was he captured?â
âSophia? Is that really you, Sophia? Did you finally get a conscience? Hurry up and come back! Your dad
is in trouble, and so is the company.â
âOkay, Mom, Iâll come back now.â Sophia was so anxious that her eyes welled up with tears. She had
been a bad daughter for leaving her family behind just to
escape her marriage.
âIâll send you to the airport.â
The two girls quickly packed up their clothes and belongings in the hotel. As she was too worried about
her father, Sophia was so panicked that even when the necklace around her neck suddenly. fell into the
clothes in her suitcase, she didnât notice at all. Instead, she stuffed a few more clothes inside before she
closed the suitcase and left.
Two hours later, she arrived at the airport and boarded a plane to return home. At the same time, a
message arrived on a certain manâs phone with her flight information.
âYouâre finally coming back, arenât you?â Arthur sneered.
On the plane, Sophiaâs heart was about to burst. Even if the plane was the fastest. means of
transportation, she still felt that it was slow. It must be my fault. Itâs because I didnât marry Christopher
that Dadâs company is in trouble now. She regretted her stubborn decision to bail from her marriage, and
thought that she shouldâve married Christopher to help her father pull through.
