The bodyguard produced an iPad and handed it to the couple. “Is this your daughter?”

Emma immediately took the iPad to confirm it, and sure enough, she recognized Sophia at a glance despite the latter’s heavy makeup. “What’s wrong with Sophia? It’s indeed my daughter in the video, but she won’t steal anything

“Where is she?” Arthur asked, narrowing his glacial eyes.

‘My daughter isn’t in the country. And besides, we’ve lost touch with her as well. I’m sorry, Young Master Weiss, but I’m afraid you have to wait until she comes back. When she does, we’ll immediately ask her about this Emma replied honestly.

“Wait? I hate this word the most.” Arthur had run out of patience because of this, so it was impossible for him to wait any longer.

“But there’s nothing we can do about this. We can’t get in touch with our daughter at the moment. If she’s really taken something from you, we’ll definitely ask her to return it.”

“Your daughter has taken Young Master Weiss’ dearest possession. If the object is broken, there’s no way you can afford to pay for it. The bodyguard explained the gravity of the situation.

Drake and Emma exchanged a brief look. Then, Drake promised. If our daughter has really taken it, we’ll definitely give it back to you in perfect condition

“Your daughter went abroad to avoid getting married, so y o you guys can’t get in touch with her for the time being, right? I have a way to make her contact you guys,” Arthur’s eyes flickered menacingly like a demon spreading its dark wings.

“What way?’ Emma asked curiously.

“You’ll know that very soon,” Arthur replied impassively. Then, he said to his bodyguard, ‘Let’s go!”

Drake and Emma watched as the mysterious man showed up and left after leaving behind a jumble of mysteries. It was as though he came and left without leaving behind any traces of it.

“Where is this Young Master Weiss from?” Emma promptly asked Drake.

“Who am I supposed to ask that question? I’ve thought about it for a long time, but I couldn’t recall anyone surnamed Weiss among the bigwigs that I know of. Perhaps he’s just a nobody,” Drake said in vexation. It’s rare for a young man to have the audacity to talk so big.

Having observed Arthur more carefully, Emma replied, “It doesn’t seem so to me. Both his bearing and the way he dresses are definitely those of a kid from a rich family. Not only that, but he’s good looking, too.”

“Still, he accused our daughter of stealing from him! Sophia has never been short of anything since she was little, so what could she have stolen from him? I think he’s just making a fuss over nothing.” Drake looked down on such gilded youth. “How could I not know what kind of a person I’ve brought Sophia up to be? She’d never steal anything. She had never even taken one more candy from others since she was little! So, just ignore him.”

However, Emma asked again curiously, s “He just said that he has a way to make Sophia contact us voluntarily. What way could it be?”

Drake couldn’t wrap his head around it either. How can he find our daughter, whom we’re unable to find after doing everything possible?

He was just about to go to sleep that night when he suddenly got a phone call. “Bad news, Mr. Goodwin! Someone has bought the Alpire Group, and the capital project that we just negotiated last month has been canceled!”

“What? How could it be? Who bought it?”

“We don’t know yet.”

“Hurry up and find out. This is my last chance,” Drake roared angrily.

Drake already had severe insomnia the previous night, but he received another piece of bad news early the next morning. Because of his immense debts, his company was jointly sued by multiple creditors and it was about to be declared bankrupt and liquidated. In just a night, the creditors who had given him a chance in the past became aggressive and took action against him.

Drake called one of his best friends and asked, “David, you said before that you’d give me time to raise funds. Why didn’t you keep your word?”

“Drake, I can’t do that. I was under pressure too. Did you offend someone?”

“What’s wrong? Who forced you to harrass me?”

“If I don’t do this, I won’t be able to survive either. I’m only telling you this because we’re good friends, but if you’ve offended someone, quickly make amends to them or it will be over for your company.”

After Drake hung up the phone, he couldn’t figure out who he had offended even after mulling over it for a long time.

At that moment, the sound of police sirens could be heard from outside before a housekeeper led six police officers inside.

‘Drake Goodwin, we re suspecting that you’ve been involved in several commercial fraud cases. Please come with us.”

‘Drake, what’s going on? Sir, my husband is a legitimate businessman. He wouldn’t break the law.” Emma was terrified.

Drake comforted her, “It’s okay. I’ll go. over and find out what’s going on.”

When he was arrested, he was suddenly ambushed by the media. The issue made headlines at once and even spread abroad in seconds, covering the headlines of major news outlets across the world. His photo was featured in the headlines of newspapers around the world as if he were a criminal. Moreover, the news media in every country vigorously reported about the issue as if they had. been paid to do so.

In the end, Goodwin Corporation went bankrupt overnight and went into liquidation before it was eventually acquired by a mysterious force and Drake was in debt for one billion. This issue became a huge sensation in the country as Goodwin Corporation was a long standing business that was famous for their furniture before they finally dabbled in the development of various other industries. As a result, they were considered a successful business. Now, however, they had met a tragic end-the chairman of the board was arrested, the company went bankrupt, and their reputation and wealth were both ruined.

In the bar, the young man who had single-handedly ruined the Goodwin Family swirled the red wine in his glass as if he had let a huge burden off his shoulders and his seductive lips curled into a slight smile as he said, “If anything. their daughter is to blame. This is what happens if anyone dares to touch the things that belong to me.”

“Young Master Weiss, the news is being reported all over the world. If that girl. sees it, she will definitely rush back as soon as possible.”

“Excellent. I’ll be waiting for her.” Arthur’s eyes glinted with excitement as if he were hunting his prey. He was looking forward to seeing how his little prey would struggle to death.

Coincidentally, one of his good friends would be getting married early next month, so he was not in a hurry and could attend the wedding before leaving the place.

It was at the same moment when he received a phone call and happily answered it. “Okay, let’s meet at noon.”

Elliot had asked him out for lunch..

In fact, Arthur had heard some good news. He and Richard were right last time

-the child was Elliot’s biological son, which also meant that he was their godson! He pondered over what he should prepare as a present. Richard’s not gonna have time to come over at this point. Guess I’ll have to prepare a gift for my godson. But what should I give him? I can’t be stingy about this.

Arthur bit his lip, but he couldn’t come up with anything even after racking his brain as Elliot already owned the things. that he could afford, which troubled him. Hence, he could only think about it while he went to meet Elliot for lunch.

In a private room at a high-end restaurant, Elliot looked at his buddy who was entering. He narrowed his eyes and asked, “Why did the Goodwin Corporation end up in your hands?”

Arthur curled his lips into a smile. “Oh, you’re quite well-informed! I thought I was being secretive enough!”

As Elliot had a department dedicated to collecting any information related to the corporate world, it was impossible for him not to know about this.

“Tell me why you did it,’ he asked curiously.

“If anyone is to blame, it’s their fault for giving birth to a daughter who made me angry.” “Is their daughter the one who stole your family heirloom? Elliot asked, his eyebrows raised.

Arthur nodded. “That’s right. She’s also missing, so I have no idea what she’s done to my family heirloom either.”

“You made such a huge fuss just to force her to show up on her own, right?” Elliot knew Arthur well.
