Chapter 620
Night of Destiny
âNext time, Iâll feed you to the sharks,â warned Arthur.
Sophia struggled to rise to her feet when her legs gave out, causing her body to collapse toward him:
âArgh!â
With arms bugging his waist, her cold face rested on his bare chest, which was slightly exposed. It felt
warm and sturdy.
Arthur was stunned momentarily at the
cold sensation on his chest before
shoving her. âI told you not to come close
to me, didnât I?â
âMy legs are numb. Canât you even help me for a bit?â gruntled Sophia as she tried to stand straight.
Will he even get a girlfriend in future? What kind of girl will like him when heâs so cold?
Arthur wheeled around and walked
inside the building with her at his heels. Once the door was closed, the coziness prodded her to have a
warm bath right away, which she dic as her heart told.
After returning to her room on the second floor, she had a warm shower before going to bed. Meanwhile,
the man in the master room was finally feeling drowsy and drifted into a slumber, as though he had
undone the knot in hist heart.
On the other hand, Katrina couldnât sleep a wink due to the excitement, for she had never once attended
such a grandiose wedding. Everyone would agree that the service provided on the island was top notch.
She posted a few clips on her social media account and received the publicâs attention. Even the press,
which had given several vain attempts to pry Elliotâs wedding, shared her videos.
Now that Katrina was one of the guests, she became their only source of information. Still, the pictures
and clips, as well as the articies, vanished in thin air once the morning came. The phone in Katrinaâs
room rang.
âHello. Who is this?â She was still half awake.
âGood morning, Miss Sullivan. Sorry for the disturbance, but we would like to inform you that it is
prohibited to disclose anything in regard to the wedding.â
âWhat? Did I do that?â She played dumb.
âYes. Weâve deleted your pictures and videos that were posted on your account. Your cooperation is
appreciated and we hope that you will understand.â After having said that, the employee terminated the
call.
Katrina quickly checked her social media account. Indeed, everything pertaining to the wedding was
deleted. She was so livid that she had lost the chance to brag about it to the outside world.
After breakfast, Anastasia went to Harrietâs place to greet her and take care of Jared. As soon as she
stepped into the villa, a fight could be heard from the study. An old man sounded angry as he shouted,
âHarriet, itâs already the 21st century. Why are you still abiding by the old rules? This is the time to rake in
more money! If we donât do it now, others will
do it anyway.â
Anastasia was nonplussed by the reproach that was laced by a strong resentment.
Then, Harrietâs voice resounded. âHenry, rules are rules. These are the family rules that we must follow
no matter what.â
âHarriet, you know how hardworking my: son is. All we need is a chance, a chance to be one of the
board directors of Presgrave Group. Weâre not asking much.. Just a small share of it is enough
âHenry, as the family rules has stated, the men in the family can never be one of the company. We can
help with anything else other than that.â
âSo what if we work hard when we canât even enjoy one bit of the money Elliot has earned?â
âElliot has been doing his best to help the family. Youâre doing well on your own too. You should be
grateful for what you have.â
âHmph! Harriet, I know what youâre afraid of. Youâre afraid that weâll pose a threat to Elliot once we
become stronger, arenât you?
