Chapter 658
Sophia did a double take when she saw that Emily was pointing at her.
At the sight of Sophia‘s dazed expression, Emily snapped impatiently, “You‘re a maid, aren‘t you?”
It was then that Sophia remembered Arthur asking her to act like a well–behaved servant, so she quickly answered,
“Oh, of course. I‘ll have these bags brought into your room right away!”
She proceeded to drag the two mammoth bags toward the stairwell, but when she tried to lift them, she realized
they were firmly weighed down on the floor. Those two maids who came with Emily must come from professional
weightlifting backgrounds! Sophia thought in dark amusement as her slender arms faltered.
Emily crossed her arms as she watched Sophia struggle to lift the bags. “Be careful with those. I have tons of
valuable stuff in there; you break them, you pay, but I doubt you could afford it.”
Several attempts later, Sophia was sure that she had no way of lifting them. Panting, she said, “Miss Jennings, these
bags are far too heavy for me to lift.”
“So hard to find good help these days, it seems,” Emily mocked with a cruel smirk.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIgnoring this, Sophia called out for the only man in the living room to aid her. “A little help please, Mr. Weiss?”
“How dare you ask Artie to carry out a servant‘s duty, you little–” Before Emily could continue the rest of her
scolding, Arthur brushed past her to the stairwell and grabbed the two bags, then easily carried them up the stairs
in a display of incredible arm strength while asking Sophia to hurry along.
Emily‘s eyes widened at this. She couldn‘t believe that Arthur had actually lent the maid a helping hand by carrying
the bags up the stairs. It was the most bizarre thing she had ever witnessed. We‘re talking about the young master
of a prestigious family, for heaven‘s sake!
She headed up the stairs as well, and much to her surprise, he had brought the bags into the guest room instead of
leaving them on the second floor landing.
Sophia did not expect Arthur to oh–so–charitably bring the bags into Emily‘s designated room either, and when she
got to the top of the stairs, she quickly said, “Thank you, Young Master Weiss.”
“You shouldn‘t have, Artie,” Emily interjected, then grabbed his hand to inspect his palm with a pained expression.
“I would have asked the bodyguards to help, you know. Look at how red your palm is!”
Sophia came over to peer at his palm as well, and sure enough, the skin was chaffed red. The bags had a combined
weight of more than a hundred pounds, after all...
“It‘s fine,” Arthur said dismissively as he pulled away from Emily.
“How–How useless can you be? I cannot believe you had your master do your work for you, You‘re fired! Go, get
out of our sights!” Emily barked commandingly at Sophia, terminating her
services right there and then.
Sophia blinked, then her eyes lit up as she asked, “Really? I can go now?”
“Who said you could? In case you forgot, I‘ve given you a one–year advancement on your wages,” Arthur piped up
suddenly, glowering at her.
She searched his face for an explanation. As if she would forget about receiving wages from him! But she quickly
grasped the situation and realized that this man was determined to keep her here. Going along with his act, she
said, “I believe you‘re the one forgetting things here, Young Master Weiss. Remember how you said you would pay
me the last time and then something came up to conveniently distract you from it? Well, with all due respect, you‘ll
have to cough up the two hundred and forty grand you promised that‘s twenty grand for each calendar month that
you
owe me.”

“You‘re not actually going back on your word, are you, Young Master Weiss? I‘ve gone without a month‘s salary
now!” she added, feigning panic.
Unaware of what was going on, Emily snorted and said contemptuously, “Artie‘s fortune is far more than anything
you could ever imagine, so he wouldn‘t go back on his word to pay you the pittance you‘re asking for. Don‘t delude
yourself.”
Seizing this chance, Sophia nodded earnestly and said with implication, “That‘s what I think too. I know a gentleman
of nobility such as him would never go back on his promise or mistreat his staff. Right, Young Master Weiss?” Then,
she flashed him a meaningful smile as she added brightly, “If it helps, you can always do it over PayPal.”
The man was at a loss for words.
Emily suddenly realized that her presence was completely overshadowed by the maid, and she grew infuriated as
she snapped, “Okay, fine, he‘ll pay you what he owes you, so get back to work! I want all the clothes in these bags
ironed and hung in the wardrobe, and I mean every single piece of clothing, got it? If I see so much as a wrinkle,
you‘re done for!” she emphasized the last part of her command and sprinkled malice on top of it, too. “The
password for the bags is 2345.”
Having said that, she linked arms with Arthur and said cheerily. “Come on, Artie, let‘s leave her to her work. Let‘s
catch up on all the latest details of your life.”
