Chapter 726
Emily found her way to the cafe as she had asked Arthur‘s bodyguards for his whereabouts, but she didn‘t expect to
find Sophia with him.
Arthur frowned as he saw her standing before them, while Sophia had already gotten up from her seat. “Miss
Jennings, you can join Young Master Weiss. I shall be going.”
“I’ll see you off.” Emily faked a smile and wrapped her arm around Sophia as they walked out of the cafe. Sophia
was forced to reciprocate the feigned intimacy as she walked beside Emily nervously.
Once they went out of the cafe, Emily‘s expression changed into one of detest as she shoved Sophia forward and
warned, “Sophia, stop harassing Artie, or else I‘ll make you pay.”
The truth was far from what Emily said. Sophia never planned to cling to Arthur, and it was a mere coincidence that
Arthur and she met at the funeral.
Therefore, she answered calmly, “Don‘t worry. I‘m not harassing him or anything. Even more, I don‘t plan to”
“I’m not going to trust any of your words. Have you ever wondered how influential his family is? Your life is a far cry

wishful thinking for him to fall in love with you! Furthermore, don‘t try your luck. You‘ll only suffer.”
Sophia looked into her eyes and replied, “First of all, I won‘t categorize people into particular groups based on their
background. Even though you‘re born with a silver spoon, you need to respect others.”
“You—” Emily‘s words were cut short as she didn‘t expect a comeback from Sophia.
Sophia continued, “Sorting out the relationship is a matter which needs to be settled between Mr. Weiss and me.
You‘ve no right to meddle in our business.” Her eyes were icy cold as Emily‘s superior attitude irritated her.
“You!” Emily tried, but no words came out either. It was just like last time.
“If you have feelings for Young Master Weiss, you‘re free to pursue him. As for the result, it depends on you. Don‘t
take it out on me.” As if she didn‘t notice Emily’s condition, Sophia continued.
Emily‘s cheeks reddened at her words. Is she trying to imply I’ll not succeed?
She glared at Sophia. “If it wasn‘t for your interference, I would have become his girlfriend sooner.”
Sophia chuckled. “You‘ve always thought lowly of me. If so, there aren‘t many things I can do to catch his attention,
unless he‘s a fool to fall for me easily.”
“How dare you call Artie a fool!” Emily was so enraged she raised her hand, about to slap Sophia.
At that moment, Arthur stepped out of the cafe and strode toward them. He had been listening to their
conversation for a while and decided to step forward to prevent any further conflict. As he settled into a stance, he
glared at Emily. “Emily, stop it.”
When she saw him showing up, the first thought that appeared in Sophia‘s mind was to look for an escape route. I
can‘t believe he‘s right behind us! How long has he been eavesdropping?
As she turned on her heels to make an escape for the elevator, Arthur‘s voice echoed behind her. “Stop right
there.”
He was reconsidering his opinion about Sophia. Seeing the other side of her was a surprise to him and he found it
amusing as he walked toward her. “You‘re running away after you called me a fool?”
Sophia had no choice but to turn around and face him. As she looked into his deep eyes, she explained, “I–I didn‘t
mean to call you a fool.”
“You did!” Seeing an opportunity, Emily joined in.

she gloated over her wise comeback and asked for Arthur‘s opinion. “Young Master Weiss, you‘re not interested in
me, right?”
“Of course, I‘m not,” he answered between gritted teeth.
Sophia cast a glance at Emily with a blooming victorious smile on her face. “Did you hear him? He doesn‘t like me!”
Emily stared at her speechlessly as she had the feeling that it was a perfunctory act.
Looking straight into Arthur‘s eyes, Sophia reminded him, “Young Master Weiss, please clarify that there is nothing
between us, or else your pursuer–Miss Jennings will misunderstand.”
Even though the odd feeling still lingered within Emily, she was deprived of the chance to talk back as Sophia
stepped into the elevator. She turned to Arthur involuntarily and saw him stare at the shut elevator door with mixed
feelings.
“How rude of her!” In the end, Emily could only harrumph a response.
