Chapter 608
Night of Destiny
Did Young Master Weiss turn into someone else? the bodyguards wondered.
Meanwhile, when Sophia returned to the Goodwin Residence, she immediately hugged her mother. In
just two days, Emmaâs hair had turned gray from worry. When she saw her daughter again, she sobbed
and told her about everything that had happened during the past two days.
âMom, donât worry. Dad will be home soon.â
âHow could that be? Your dad was accused of commercial fraud this time, so it wouldnât be that simple.â
âMom, believe me. I can really help Dad come home,â Sophia promised.
As expected, ten or so minutes later, there was a sound of the door opening, and Drake walked in
unscathed.
âDad, youâre home!â Sophia dived into his arms. âDad, Iâm sorry. I wouldnât be stubborn and run away
anymore. I promise Iâll marry Christopher.â
Drake patted her and said, âItâs all right. You donât need to marry him anymore. The company is gone
anyway, so thereâs no need for that.â
However, he couldnât figure out who had so much power to do this to him on such a huge and cruel
scale.
âSigh. Until now, I still donât know whoâs been targeting me. I donât remember offending anyone either!â
He was feeling depressed.
Just then, Sophia spoke up softly from beside him. âDad, I know who it is.â
âWhat? You do? Who is it?â He hurriedly looked at his daughter.
Emma was shocked as well and turned her gaze toward Sophia.
Sophia had to explain everything from start to finish. At the end of her explanation, she reiterated, âI
really didnât steal it. That manâs necklace got caught in my hair, and itâs the necklaceâs fault for being so
fragile that it broke so easily.â
She looked at her parents guiltily,
thinking that her parents didnât understand what she was talking about.
However, Emma suddenly said to Drake, âI told you that man isnât an easy opponent, but you didnât
believe me.. Look what heâs done now; he made us bankrupt overnight.â
âI havenât heard of anyone called Weiss who is this powerful before!â Drake couldnât believe that this
young man had done all of this and even managed to destroy his company overnight either.
âDad, Iâm sorry. Itâs all my fault. Iâll definitely take responsibility for this.â Sophia would never get her
parents involved.
âSilly girl, now that the necklace is gone, where are you going to find it? How are you going to take
responsibility? Itâs obvious that the necklace is important to him, and now heâs going to be even angrier.â
âDad, Mom, donât say itâs gone yet. I can still look for it.â Sophia had already called her friend and asked
her to look for it in
the hotel.
Sophia then hoisted her suitcase upstairs, intending to look through it. She had just carried the suitcase
to the stairs when her cat suddenly pounced over, frightening her so much that her hands jolted, and the
suitcase rolled down from the second floor. With a few thumps, the zipper flew open, causing all of her
clothes and belongings to scatter across the ground, one of which rolled into the corner of the storage
box under the stairs where even the dim light couldnât hide its extraordinary shine. It just so happened to
be the necklace.
âBaby, you almost scared me to death.â She picked up her pet cat and scolded it before she went
downstairs to pick up her things. After returning upstairs, she tidied her belongings and looked for the
necklace. Sure enough, it wasnât there. She was extremely worried. If she didnât find it soon, she would
be doomed.
Just then, her phone rang. She took a glance at the unknown number and answered the call. âHello?
Who is this?â
âYour dad is out. Ten minutes later, Iâll come over to retrieve my things. A cold male voice spoke to her
from the other end.
âUm, you shouldnât come over. The necklace isnât with me. I left it overseas.â Sophia could only lie to him
in order to hold him back..
âSay what?! As expected, his voice turned angry.
âI promise you that Iâll definitely bring it back. Can you give me some time?â She attempted to bargain.
âSophia Goodwin, do you have a death wish?â The man on the other end of the phone finally lost his
patience and burst out in fury.
