Chapter 779
Night of Destiny
Elliot answered the call. âHello?â
âHello, is this Mr. Elliot Presgrave?â
âSpeaking. To whom am I speaking?â Elliot asked courteously.
After introducing himself, the caller then brought a piece of news that surprised Elliot. Artieâs getting
married this Saturday?!
âAlright, Iâll definitely be there.â At that, Elliot couldnât help asking, âPardon me for asking, but may I
know the name of the bride?â
âShe is Miss Emily Jennings, the daughter of the Weiss Familyâs prominent biologist.â
âAlright, please tell Arthur I said hi.â Elliot waited until the caller replied before hanging up, then entered
the elevator with his phone in his hand.
I thought Sophia would surely be his wife, but to think that heâll be marrying someone else. This sure is
unexpected.
Meanwhile, in Bourgeois, Anastasia began sorting out the documents piled up on her desk soon after
her meeting ended. While she was preoccupied, a knock came at the door.
âCome in,â she said.
When she realized the person behind the door was her beloved and not Grace, Anastasia couldnât help
propping her chin up with a beam. Then, she looked at him with adoration. âWhat brings you here?â
On the other hand, Elliot removed his suit jacket, put it on the couch, then went behind her to massage
her shoulders, helping her relax her muscles. Anastasia leaned partially against him while enjoying it,
taking in her belovedâs love and care.
âI got a call from Artieâs family informing me to attend his wedding this coming Saturday,â Elliot
mentioned the call he got earlier.
âSo soon?â Anastasia looked up at him with surprise.
However, a hint of resignation laced Elliotâs voice. âSophiaâs not the bride.â
Anastasiaâs smile froze in an instant. Disbelief very quickly enveloped her face as she thought, How is
it not Sophia?! Theyâre so in love!
âHow can this be? Why isnât it Sophia? Have they broken up? Itâs only been a few days
since the banquet, and Arthurâs already marrying another woman?! Whatâs going to happen to Sophia
then?â Anastasia rambled on.
Elliot, too, thought it was unlike Arthur to do something like this. The man he knew was definitely not a
womanizer.
âMaybe he took his familyâs future into consideration and accepted his grandmotherâs arrangements.
The woman heâs marrying is the daughter of a biologist, and they are probably very reputable.â
âThis doesnât mean he can dump Sophia so heartlessly, does it? Does Sophia know about this? She
isnât being kept in the dark, is she?â Anastasia truly felt bad for Sophia, feeling that it was unfair for her.
It was probably because she liked Sophia that she naturally sided with the woman and thought Arthur
was somewhat a douche.
âAre you going to tell her about this?â Elliot asked.
âHow sad would it be of her if sheâs kept in the dark while still hoping that Arthur would come around?!â
Anastasia bit her lower lip and made a decision. âIâm going to tell her about it.â
âSince Iâm going to comfort her, Iâll go over to her place. Pick Jared up, will you? Iâll come home a little
later,â Anastasia said to Elliot.
He didnât say no to it, for he couldnât defend his brother from another mother too much on this, lest he
really wanted to piss his wife off.
Anastasia took Grace with her, and on the road, the latter called Sophia asking where she was and if
they could meet up.
Sophia and Grace were on good terms as well, so the former said she was at home and later sent her
address over.
âWeâre just around the corner, Sophia. Why donât you come down? Weâll talk at a nearby cafe.â
Sophia agreed happily, and it wasnât until she came out of her apartment complex and entered the
domineering black sedan that she realized Anastasia was joining as well. âAnastasia, I didnât expect to
see you too!â
Seeing there wasnât a hint of sadness in Sophia, Anastasia immediately knew this girl was still clueless
about Arthurâs upcoming wedding.
