Chapter 827
Night of Destiny
Elliot smiled and gave her a kiss.
She leaned on his chest shyly and dozed off soon after. When he noticed that Anastasia was falling
asleep, he moved her to the bed. She instantly fell asleep in his arms while he checked his emails on
his phone while holding his wife to sleep.
In the evening, Martha was overseeing the dinner preparations. She initially wanted to check on Arthur,
but she knew that he was probably with Sophia. As such, she decided not to disturb the lovebirds.
After all that had happened, she finally realized how much Arthur loved Sophia and that true love could
withstand the challenges faced by the disparity of wealth and family background.
She really hoped that Arthurâs partner would be someone that truly loved him, not someone who only
coveted his assets or tried to harm him because of it.
Martha had learned her lesson from the Jennings Family as she was now aware that some families
who were under their protection were starting to revolt against them.
âOld Madam, this is Miss Goodwinâsâ¦â
âYou should be calling her Young Mistress from now on.â Martha corrected the servant.
âYes, Young Mistressâ jewelry has been picked out. I will send it to her room later on,â said the servant
with a smile.
âGreat, we must select the best for her.â
âAll of them are of the finest.â
Martha was satisfied with the selection of jewelry and nodded at the servant. Right now, the thing she
looked forward to the most was for Sophia to be her granddaughter-in-law.
Meanwhile, at the Jennings Residence, Emily had returned home after giving her statement. When she
saw how empty the house was, she couldnât hold her tears in and wailed.
Both of her parents had been arrested. Her mother was detained as an accomplice, and they had
denied Emilyâs involvement in order to protect her. Therefore, she was released by the police even
though her parents were imprisoned because of her.
It was something that she regretted most in her life, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Her phone rang all of a sudden, causing Emily to startle. When she saw that it was a call from her good
friend, she spoke into the phone. âHi, Sally.â
âI never thought that youâd do such a thing in order to get Young Master Weissâ affection. You always
seemed pretty confident in front of us, but I bet youâre dying of embarrassment right now.â
Hearing that, Emilyâs face turned pale. Her friend wasnât calling to check on her instead, Sally was
calling to kick her when she was down.
âSince your parents have been imprisoned, youâll be kicked out of the family soon. I donât think we will
be able to see each other or go shopping together anymore.
By the way, the bag that you previously ordered has arrived, but I donât think that you will be able to
collect it. In that case, I shall do you a favor and buy it up since itâs a limited edition make.â
Emily had enough of the insults and ended the call. Now, she finally knew how it felt when her friends
turned their backs on her when she was in trouble. She had brought it upon herself since she was used
to trampling on others when she was doing well.
However, the thing that irritated her the most was Sophia being the future Young Mistress of the Weiss
Family, subsequently owning the entire Weiss Familyâs fortune.
Once Sophia married Arthur, they would build a family together and stay by each otherâs side forever,
which was supposed to be the life that Emily was going to have. She was sure that Sophia would act
high and mighty in front of her if they were to meet in the future.
