Chapter 691
Night of Destiny
Christopher followed Sophia as she pushed open the door to the room. Once she entered the room,
she addressed the York Family, âMr. and Mrs. York, I regret to inform you that I cannot get engaged to
Christopher. Please forgive me.â She then turned to her parents and said, âLetâs go home, Mom and
Dad.â
âWhat? Sophia, whatâs the matter? I thought we discussed this, so why have you decided not to get
engaged to Christopher this time?â
Meanwhile, Drake and Emma exchanged glances. Surely, they also sensed the York Familyâs true
motives for this engagement. Now that Sophia had openly broken off her engagement, there was no
longer any reason to associate with the York Family.
Drake reclined to his wheelchair while Sophia made her way over to him and began pushing him out.
After Emma had
made her pleasantries, they left the room.
Arthur was still in the hallway and hadnât left yet. He seemed to remember something right then. When
he bought Drake Goodwinâs company the last time, he was the one who earned the 10 billion dollars
debt that came with it.
When Sophia left the room and saw Arthur still standing in the hallway, she spoke to him. âIâm going to
take my dad back to the hospital, so Iâll leave first.â
Drake still held a grudge against Arthur for taking over his company with ill intent. So, he only gave
Arthur a quick glance before letting her push him away.
Arthur took out his phone and called a few numbers after he watched the family of three enter into the
elevator. âI need help with this one thing.â
Christopher pushed all the tableware off the table in the private room. Infuriated, he said, âHow dare
they look down on us, the Goodwin Family! Fine! I will wait till Drake is sentenced to jail!â
âDarn it! I assumed Drake would offer that plot of land as a wedding gift and
present it to us. Who knew Sophia wasnât such a fool?â Edmund expressed his dissatisfaction.
Sophia assisted Drake in getting into the car to return to the hospital. As she sat in the front passenger
seat, she reminisced about Arthurâs kiss earlier and couldnât believe this man had kissed her.
âLetâs just sell everything that can be sold and pay off the debt, Mom and Dad. Iâll pay them the rest of
the money when I obtain a job in the future,â Sophia told her parents seated in the back passenger
seat.
âWell, I guess thatâs the only way to go now.â Drake let out a heavy sigh when he thought about how
hard it might be for Sophia to pay off his debt for the rest of her life.
Suddenly, Drakeâs phone rang. Thus, he picked up his phone and answered.
His words could be heard, but no one knew what the other person on the other end of the line had said
until he asked, âReally? All my debts have been settled?â
Emma and Sophia stared at him with disbelief at hearing this.
Drakeâs eyes revealed traces of both joy and confusion as he spoke with the person on the phone.
âAlright. Alright. Thank you. On Monday, I will absolutely head over to get the proof of settlement.â
After hanging up the phone, he said to Emma and Sophia, âThat was from the bank. They called to
inform me that my debt had been fully settled.â
âWho helped you?â Emma asked quickly. âCould the York Family be involved?â
âThereâs no way the York Family has this much cash flow.â
Then, all of a sudden, Sophia knew who helped Drake to pay off his debt. So, she told them, âI know,
Mom and Dad! Mr. Weiss was the one who paid off your debt!â
âWhat? That was Mr. Weiss whom we just saw in the hallway?â Drake questioned in surprise.
âWhy would he want to help us pay off the debt? You still owe him an heirloom, donât you?â a shocked
Emma asked.
Sophia couldnât find the real answer, but she knew that Arthur was the one who had paid Drakeâs debt.
âMom, Dad, donât worry about this. I can handle it,â she said.
Drake and Emma glanced at each other and thought, how will Sophia handle this? Is it possible that
Mr. Weiss liked our daughter?
Soon, they arrived at the hospital.
Drake got out of the car while Emma looked at Sophia and told her, âIf itâs really Mr. Weiss, you need to
thank him right away.â
âSure, Iâll do it! You guys head first. Iâll find him right now!â
Sophia halted a cab as she said that. After that, she pulled out her phone and called Arthur.
âHello?â The phone was answered as a low, deep voice of a man of unknown temperament came
through.
âWere you the one who helped settle my fatherâs debt?â Sophia asked quickly.
âYes. I had settled his debt.â
âWhy⦠Why did you do it?â Even if her brain were to burst, Sophia was still unable to uncover the
reason for this issue.
âListen carefully, you owe me a family heirloom and 10 billion dollars from now on.â
âAll right. Iâll pay you back for what you did for me. If you are willing, I can even be your servant for a
lifetime.â Sophia had no choice but to sell herself to Arthur. Yet, she didnât mind much because she
knew she would feel better once father paid off his debt.
