Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 719

However, Sophia didn’t understand Arthur’s words and asked, “If you lost your family heirloom, will your grandmother scold you?”

“Yes,” he replied truthfully.

“In that case, I’ll go and apologize to her with you. I was the one who lost it; it has nothing to do with you,” Sophia hurriedly offered.

Arthur was truly speechless by her actions. Just a while ago, she was interrogating him about her father’s issue, but she was now worried about him.

“Forget it, I’ll deal with it myself,” he refused, his brows slightly furrowed.

As she recalled Martha’s words, her beautiful eyes brightened as she came up with another idea. “Since I lost your family heirloom and you bought my father’s company, we’re even now, and neither of us owes the other anything. Let’s end things here! You can live your life, and I’ll focus on my work. We don’t have to meet again.”

She wanted to cut off all ties with him.

After she finished speaking, she picked up her bag and made to leave, but as she walked past him, a large hand suddenly grabbed her wrist, and a cold voice sounded. “Sophia, before I get my family heirloom back, we can’t call it quits.”

Sophia looked at the huge hand that was holding hers tightly before lifting her gaze back to him. “What do you want?”

“I can give your father’s company back to him, but you have to look for my family heirloom with me.”

“What?”

“I don’t care about your dad’s company. I’ll return it to him today, but you’re not allowed to go anywhere until the heirloom is returned to me.” Arthur stood up, his figure tall and oppressing.

“Only when we find it will I let you go,” he said bossily with his seductive lips.

Sophia violently retracted her hand. “What if we never find it? Do you want me to stay by your side forever?”

Arthur’s lips curled into a smile. “Then you have to try your best to help me find it.”

“It’s impossible to get it back. I don’t know which corner of the world it’s in, or if someone picked it up.” Sophia was desperate as she concluded that she couldn’t find it again.

“Then, I’ll give you a second option. You can continue your plan to seduce me and make me fall for you, and I might forgive you,” Arthur suggested helpfully.

Sophia was not a fool, though. She asked, “If you fall for me, will you let me leave?”

Arthur rebuked, “By then, would you still want to leave?”

“Of course. I’m not going to fall for you,” Sophia replied without even thinking.

All of a sudden, his expression darkened. “Sophia, am I unworthy of you?”

She pursed her lips and held back her laughter as she said, “No, I’m the one who’s unworthy of you. You’re a rich and noble young master of a wealthy family, and I’m just an ordinary girl. We’re too different, and I’m unworthy of you. Are you happy now?”

Why did her words sound so harsh to him?

“In any case, Sophia, as long as my heirloom isn’t in my hands, you can’t leave me. Got it?” Arthur continued to pressure her.

“Fine. I’m going to work now.” Saying that, Sophia turned around and left quickly.

Arthur watched her leave, feeling powerless. He felt that he couldn’t manipulate this woman anymore.

Just then, a sultry woman next to him asked boldly, “Hey, handsome, did your girlfriend ditch you? It’s all right, I can be your girlfriend!”

Arthur’s eyes swept over her coldly before he left, while the woman was immediately rendered speechless, intimidated by his gaze.
