“I’ll make a move first.” Katrina left as she did not want to disturb the woman.
She took out her phone and began making a series of phone calls. “What’s the matter?” asked the man on the
other end.

“I received Bourgeois’ endorsement, so how are you going to help me celebrate, Young Master Jacob?” she asked
proudly.
“I’ll pick a hotel to celebrate tonight,” Jacob answered.
Katrina cheerfully replied as she thought to herself, His last name is Presgrave, but Jacob Presgrave is just another
second generation nouveau riche?
In the evening, while she was being held in Jacob’s arms, she voiced the questions that were going through her
mind. “Jacob, you said you called Elliot Presgrave your cousin. Why is he extremely wealthy
when your family is very low-profile?” she asked.
“You mean to say that our family has no money, right?” He snorted coldly.
“Of course, your family is wealthier than the common people, but you can’t compare to Elliot Presgrave!” she
exclaimed quickly.
With a sigh of annoyance, Jacob remarked, “If Old Madam Presgrave hadn’t lived so long, we might have already
been on the Presgrave Group’s board of directors. My father stated that when the old woman passes away, our
family would become wealthy sooner or later.”
“Really?” Katrina’s eyes widened as she realized she couldn’t afford to let him go in this situation.
“Once that old woman has passed away and Anastasia Tillman is the principal of the company, heck, what does she
know?” He sneered.
She was still unconvinced. Why does Anastasia Tillman, who used to live in a run-down rented house abroad, now
serve as President of Bourgeois and manage the company?
She actually looked forward to the day Anastasia would have a run of bad luck because it would definitely leave
Katrina with loads of relief.
Back at the hospital, three days flew past in what seemed like the blink of an eye while Sophia was there with her
parents. She had forgotten something due to her father’s debt-which was to return to Arthur Weiss’ side.
Therefore, she received a call from that man at that moment.
“Hello! Please extend my leave for two more days, Mr. Weiss,” she asked instead because she couldn’t understand
what the other party was saying.
“What? Is your father in critical condition?” he inquired flatly.
“My father still needs my assistance with a few things around here. I can’t leave.”
“All right, I’ll give you two more days,” Arthur agreed politely.
“Thank you.” When Sophia thought of something, she exhaled a sigh of relief

He reacted in a low voice. “Yeah?”
“Oh! I’ll hang up first since it’s nothing!” Sophia hung up the phone with her hands still grasping it, as if she was
taken aback.
She had planned to tell him that she was going to be engaged, but after giving it some thought, she realized that
there was nothing between them.
Christopher flew home that night itself and planned to meet with his parents tomorrow at 12.00PM to discuss the
engagement.
The York Family was eager to help with debt payback. Drake, on the other hand, found himself in a difficult
predicament. To get through this tough period, he had no alternative but to rely on his daughter’s marriage.
Sophia was well aware of this; no matter how disloyal she was, she couldn’t stand by and watch her father being
arrested.
Therefore, now that the York Family had indicated that they were willing to marry her and assist in paying off the
debt, she was very grateful.
Over at Arthur’s villa, Emily had just returned from downtown in her new dress. She couldn’t wait to show it to
Arthur and walked straight to the study on the second floor.
“Artie, do you like my new dress?” she said as she turned around in front of him.
Arthur wore a black shirt with embroidered designs on them, but the sense of dignity that was inherently present in
his physique was always obvious to the public. “Well! It’s beautiful,” he complimented her.
Emily, on the other hand, saw that he only gave her a passing glance and did not appear to be impressed in any
way. “You are being perfunctory to me!” she said, rather disappointed.
Her mood appeared to have improved during Sophia’s absence throughout these three days, but whenever Sophia
was
around, Emily always felt suffocated.
She discovered that Arthur preferred to be alone. When he had nothing to do, he would read books in the study
room or work, but she never saw him taking the initiative to ask her out. Each time she asked him about it, he
would always refuse her.
