Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 772

“Really?” Emily‘s eyes were filled with joy when she heard the news. “Mom, is he really coming back soon?”

“He‘s coming back to inherit the head of the Weiss Family. By then, he‘ll have to pick a woman amongst Flor‘s most affluent families to become his wife. Do you think you can do it, Emily?”

“Not at all, Mom. The girl Artie likes isn‘t from any of our families; she‘s just some average girl named Sophia Goodwin. Mom, what should I do?” Anxious, Emily‘s eyes turned red–rimmed from oncoming tears. “I‘ve liked him ever since I was little. My dream has always been marrying him and becoming the matriarch of the Weiss Family. But now, my dream is about to be crushed.”

At that, Emily threw herself into her mother‘s arms, crying anxiously while unwilling to resign to her fate.

A thought hit Vera as she patted her daughter‘s back, and she soothed Emily by saying, “Don‘t worry. You will become Mrs. Weiss. I‘m sure you will.”

Vera‘s confidence surprised Emily as she had none herself. Arthur was initially supposed to return with them, but he ended up going back on Marth‘s wish and stayed there because of Sophia.

Emily, on the other hand, visited Martha a few times to see what the elderly woman thought of this, only to discover that she didn‘t seem at all anxious. It was like she approved of Arthur and Sophia‘s romance. This would mean Martha would eventually give in if Arthur insisted on marrying the woman.

Sometime later in the day, a black SUV pulled in, and Vera went out to welcome her husband home. Meanwhile, the man approached her with a briefcase in his hand, looking somewhat tired. Vera thoughtfully took her husband‘s coat from him and handed it to their maid for dry–cleaning when she smelled the chemical odor on him.

Johnny Jennings worked as a bio researcher for the Weiss Family and was currently assigned to a highly classified project. The man was already a world–renowned scientist, and he held a very high standing with the Weiss Family; even Martha trusted him very much.

Emily was his only child, and at the same time, the likeliest candidate to become the future Mrs. Weiss out of the other young women Martha had chosen for Arthur.

“Johnny, I have something I need to talk to you about,” said Vera while bringing her husband‘s tea.

“What is it? Has Emily thrown another tantrum again?”
