Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel
At this moment, a man in his early thirties came in after the bodyguard through the entrance. He had heard that the bar had closed down; it was once a paradise for the rich and the most luxurious money-squandering establishment in town. He then saw a man sitting in a chair next to the bar counter. He was toying with a wine glass, and it was evident from the sound of the wine glass being swirled around that the man had superb bartending skills.
“Young Master Weiss, here’s the cab driver who drove that lady to the bar that night.”
Arthur had another of his men take out two bundles of cash. Then, he pushed the photo next to him toward the man, asking, “Do you remember this lady? The money is yours as long as you tell me where you picked her up.”
Seeing the heavily made-up young lady in the photo, the driver instantly remembered her. “Yes, yes, I do remember this lady. She was coming out of a restaurant when I picked her up.” “Did she say anything during the ride?”
“Yes, she did. She made a phone call. I remember it very well; she was crying her eyes out, seemingly telling her dad that she didn’t want to get married.”
Arthur felt that victory was in sight. “Can I have the video of the ride that night?”
The cab driver darted a look at the two bundles of cash before taking out his cell phone even more briskly. “Sure, sure. Let me find it for you right away.” Finally, he brought up precisely the video recording of that night.
Arthur looked at the young lady who had gotten into the cab in the video, and sure enough, she was none other than the female thief. I’ve got you at last, he thought.
The cab driver left immediately after getting the money.
On the other hand, Arthur was watching the video recording of that night. The cab ride lasted a total of 23 minutes. The somewhat blurry video showed that after getting into the cab, the young lady first stared blankly out of the car window for a long time.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang; she picked it up and answered, “Hey, Dad.”
Shortly after that, she got emotional and added, “I want to call off the engagement. I don’t want to get married… I just want to get married to the love of my life. I don’t want to get married to Christopher York.”
The person calling her then said something on the other end of the line, upon which she instantly burst into tears. and cried like a baby. After that, she hung up the phone and said to the cab driver, “Drive me to the most luxurious bar in the city.”
The man gave her a few words of comfort before mentioning the name of a bar, to which she replied, “Okay, drive me there.”
After that, she remained silent until getting out of the cab.
Christopher York, huh? A sneer flashed across Arthur’s face. At last, he had a clue about the young lady’s identity. “I want all the information about this lady in ten minutes.”
He had finally reached the limit of his patience.
After less than ten minutes, his bodyguard handed him an iPad. “Young Master Weiss, Christopher York is a well known rich dandy in Averna. Only one person has been rumored to be engaged to him this year, and her name is Sophia Goodwin.”
Arthur picked up the iPad and fixed his eyes on the lady in the photo. The light shone on her face, illuminating her tender features; she looked as breathtakingly pure as a fresh-out-of water water lily.
Although she looked totally different from the heavily made-up lady from the other night, there was no way Arthur could mistake her for someone else with his excellent eyesight. It’s her, he thought. He recognized from this pair of eyes that the lady in the photo was the one from the other night. She was heavily made-up that night, but her eyes were indescribably clear and bright; they were as black and lustrous as obsidian. “Find out everything about her family as well as her extended families,” he ordered frostily.
Having gotten accustomed to his temper, the bodyguard beside him immediately did as he was told.
Arthur had grown up being raised like a prince since he was born, and his family owned a territory that spanned an incredibly wide area. Consequently, as the only child of his family, he was both the lifeblood of his family and the heir to a family fortune that was worth hundreds of millions. As a result, he had never been offended by anyone from his birth until he was 27 years old. If he was dissatisfied with anything, it had to be dealt with within a day. This time, however, he had lost his family heirloom for over a month, which was the greatest humiliation of his life. Therefore, it was foreseeable how miserable the young lady’s fate would be..
Ten minutes later, the bodyguard handed the iPad to him once again. “Young Master Weiss, here is all the information about Sophia Goodwin. Please take a look.”
Arthur read through the story about the
Goodwin Family, Sophia’s father was the chairman of two listed companies and had a fortune of over ten billion. However, his business had been losing money in recent years, so he was now two billion in debt instead. Therefore, he intended to establish a collaboration with the York Family, forming an alliance with them by marrying off his beloved only daughter to Christopher.
Arthur checked the time; it was 8:00 PM. He curled his lips into a sneer, saying, “Let’s pay a visit to the Goodwins.”
Meanwhile, at the Goodwin Residence, Drake Goodwin was distressed by his company’s inability to sustain itself while fretting about his runaway daughter. The deal had been made between the two families, and Christopher liked Sophia: very much, but she wilfully and recklessly sneaked out of the country. Since then, she had been incommunicado, her whereabouts. unknown.
Emma, his wife, said worriedly. “Take the medicine, Drake, or your heart’s gonna. give you problems again.”
Drake swallowed the medicine before asking the butler, “Have you found out which country Sophia is in?”
“Miss Sophia is hiding very well this time. We really can’t find her; she’s got the backbone not to use all her debit cards. even after you’ve had them unfrozen.”
“Well, she’s not to blame for this. I’ve spoiled her rotten since she was little.” Drake cared very much about Sophia, after all. At this moment, he was worried again about how she was doing abroad.
“Sigh. Sophia probably dislikes Young Master Christopher for his looks.”
Drake argued, “He’s a little chubby, but that’s understandable. It’ll be fine as long as he loses a bit of weight!” In his opinion, Christopher was somewhat overweight and plain-looking, but he wasn’t all that bad as a husband.
“I’m afraid it won’t be easy for him to lose weight with his size.” Emma gave him a dirty look. “He’s almost 220 pounds.” Drake immediately heaved a sigh. “If I’d had another choice, I wouldn’t have put Sophia through this.”
“Who cares if the company is going bankrupt? It’s fine as long as we’ve got some money left to support ourselves in our old age,” Emma said.
“The company was founded by my grandpa, so I have to keep it afloat. I’d never give up unless we’re in a hopeless situation,” Drake replied with ambition.
However, little did he know that he would be in a hopeless situation tonight-and a chillingly hopeless situation at that, because his daughter had brought the Goodwins an even greater disaster in the form of a young man from a mysterious and overwhelmingly wealthy family.
Just then, the servant came over and reported, “Sir, someone’s asking to meet you.”
“Who’d be visiting at such a late hour? Invite the person in,” Drake replied with a wave of his hand.
Soon after that, he saw a dignified looking young man dressed in expensive clothes coming in under the light. He looked charmingly handsome, as if his face had been kissed by God. Not only that, but as he walked, he gave off an air of aloofness, projecting a powerful and forbidding presence.
Emma’s eyes widened slightly. Just who is this rich young man? Is he here because Of Sophia.
“What can I do for you, sir?” Drake said with a smile as he greeted the young man. He searched his memory, but he couldn’t seem to remember or know such a figure.
“This is our Young Master. His family name is Weiss, so you may call him Young Master Weiss,” Arthur’s bodyguard replied in a deep voice.
Drake carefully searched his memory again for a family surnamed Weiss, but nothing came to mind. He couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Weiss, may I know who your father is?”
“You’re not qualified to know that,” Arthur replied impassively.
Drake was rendered speechless for a moment. I’ve never seen such an arrogant young man before, he thought. Holding back his temper, he asked, “In that case, Young Master Weiss, what makes you come to me at this time of night?”
Arthur darted his eyes toward the couple.
“Your daughter has stolen my family heirloom, so I’m here to look for her. “What? You mean Sophia has stolen from you? That’s impossible! Sophia never steals from anyone,” Emma immediately retorted for Sophia’s sake.
“Your daughter has stolen Young Master Weiss’ priceless family heirloom in a bar. Please return it immediately,” Arthur’s bodyguard replied.
Drake thought this was impossible, though. “This has got to be a misunderstanding, or you guys must’ve gotten the wrong person. My daughter isn’t in the country. She went abroad a month ago.”
