Chapter 833
It was Arthur‘s big day today, so she dared not go and beg right away. However, come tomorrow, she would definitely beg Martha for mercy. She could abandon all her pride just to save her parents, for she only wanted her family to be whole again.
It was getting late, and the guests went home joyously. Similarly, the bride and groom lay down to rest for the night.
The moonlight outside the window shone in as the newlyweds fell asleep in each
other‘s arms.
The next afternoon, Arthur and Sophia saw Elliot and Anastasia off at the airport, and they were also on the verge of embarking on their wedding trip.
Arthur had decided to take Sophia to an island nearby to rest for a week, then they would travel to Sophia‘s home country to hold their wedding there. Meanwhile, Martha had plans of her own as well.
She decided to move a part of their family‘s property to Sophia‘s home country, then live there as a permanent resident. Their family had expanded its business overseas for almost two hundred years, so it was about time for them to return to their roots. She even decided to be buried with her husband in the future.
In the evening, Sophia strolled in the garden outside with Martha, listening to the older woman‘s amusing stories about her husband‘s antics when he was a young child. She kept lowering her head to chuckle discreetly. Everyone’s childhood was filled with fun, it seemed–even Arthur was no different.
Just then, a servant came over to Martha and reported, “Old Madam Weiss, Miss Jennings is outside and wants to see you.”
Martha frowned as soon as she heard that. “I don‘t want to see her. Tell her to
leave.”
“She‘s on her knees and won‘t budge no matter what we say. She insists on seeing you.” The servant had tried to chase her away too, but it was exactly because Emily refused to leave that the servant came to report it.
Martha huffed for a few seconds, furious at the mention of the Jennings. She said to Sophia, “Sophia, come with me!”
The latter nodded and followed Martha out of the yard. On the other side of the iron gates, Emily was kneeling with tears streaming down her face. She trembled visibly when she saw Sophia, then lowered her head in shame.
As soon as Martha saw Emily, she felt fury raging inside her. “Your family did such horrible things, yet you still have the guts to come begging for mercy?“,
“Don‘t call me that, for I don‘t have a grandchild as evil as you. Your parents love you, but you also allowed them to carry out their plans. What makes you any different from them?”
“You did something to Artie so that he would forget about me. Do you think you can attain happiness just like that? Did it ever occur to you that Artie‘s life could‘ve been in danger?” Sophia also questioned angrily.
“How dare you! You haven‘t repented at all! You‘re even pushing the blame on Sophia, but she‘s completely innocent in this matter. I was wrong about you,” Martha shouted. She once thought that Emily was a decent girl, but she never thought that the latter would turn so evil because of her jealousy. Emily truly wasn‘t a good person at heart.
