After the call ended, a hunting intent flashed across his eyes. The conversation was about an international organized crime group, and they were not an ordinary gang since they were involved with highly classified weapons.

They specialized in stealing, and they had stolen the research results and blueprints of a high-end weapon this time. They were looking for buyers everywhere, and Richard’s team had been tracking them for almost half a year.

Meanwhile, Anastasia was having a video call with her son in the room. Jared had his face stuck so close to the screen that his chubby cheeks filled the screen. He looked so adorable that she wanted to give him a kiss.

“Anastasia, I’ll take care of Jared for you while Elliot and you work on having baby number two.” Nigel’s voice could be heard in the background.

It flustered Anastasia as it felt awkward to talk about having another baby in front of Jared.

“Nigel, you should be the one working hard. Do you need me to introduce some girls to you?” Anastasia fought back.

“Sure, but I’ll only consider those who are prettier than you.”

“Most of them are prettier than me.” Anastasia laughed.

Just then, their conversation was interrupted by Elliot. “What are both of you talking about?”

She immediately tensed up, for this husband of hers got jealous easily and could not stand hearing such words.

“Nothing. We are just chatting.” Nigel laughed as he tried to change the topic.

“Do you guys think I didn’t hear what the both of you were talking about?” Elliot murmured.

“Daddy, Mr. Nigel is asking both of you to give me a sister and Mommy was asking him to quickly find himself a girlfriend,” answered Jared.

“Great! Mommy and I are working hard on it!” Elliot seemed proud as he looked at his son from the screen.

Hearing that, Anastasia instantly turned around and glared at him, reminding him to be more reserved in front of their son since he was still young. She had never told Jared about how both males and females were involved in creating a baby as she thought that he was too young to comprehend it.

Elliot then smiled as he tried to explain to Jared, “I’m saying that it depends on your Mommy since she has a say in whether she wants to have another baby or not.”

Anastasia stared at Elliot after listening to his explanation and hinted at him to switch the topic.

“Jared, have you been completing your homework on time?” Elliot, who got the message, immediately changed the topic.

“Daddy, don’t worry about my homework! I’ll make sure to complete them,” Jared responded confidently.

Nigel, who was dressed in tennis apparel, appeared in front of the screen and said, “Let’s talk some other time as I need to send Jared to his tennis class. I shall look forward to both of you buying me meals when you’re back since it’s not easy being a nanny.”

“Thanks for your hard work, Nigel.” Anastasia laughed.

“Let’s go, Jared!” Nigel called out as he smiled at the camera.

“Goodbye, Daddy and Mommy.” Jared waved at the camera and ended the call. It seemed like he really enjoyed spending time with Nigel.

After that, Anastasia left the iPad on the couch and said, “I don’t know why, but I’ve been feeling constantly tired these days.”

When Elliot heard that, he sat next to her and stretched his arm out so that she could lean on it. “Take a nap. I must have kept you awake last night.”

“You’re not shy to admit to it.” She rolled her eyes at him.

“What’s there to be embarrassed about since we are now legally married?!”

Elliot smiled and gave her a kiss.

She leaned on his chest shyly and dozed off soon after. When he noticed that Anastasia was falling asleep, he moved her to the bed. She instantly fell asleep in his arms while he checked his emails on his phone while holding his wife to sleep.

In the evening, Martha was overseeing the dinner preparations. She initially wanted to check on Arthur, but she knew that he was probably with Sophia. As such, she decided not to disturb the lovebirds.

After all that had happened, she finally realized how much Arthur loved Sophia and that true love could withstand the challenges faced by the disparity of wealth and family background.

She really hoped that Arthur’s partner would be someone that truly loved him, not someone who only coveted his assets or tried to harm him because of it.

Martha had learned her lesson from the Jennings Family as she was now aware that some families who were under their protection were starting to revolt against them.

“Old Madam, this is Miss Goodwin’s…”

“You should be calling her Young Mistress from now on.” Martha corrected the servant.

“Yes, Young Mistress’ jewelry has been picked out. I will send it to her room later on,” said the servant with a smile.

“Great, we must select the best for her.”

“All of them are of the finest.”

Martha was satisfied with the selection of jewelry and nodded at the servant. Right now, the thing she looked forward to the most was for Sophia to be her granddaughter-in-law.

Meanwhile, at the Jennings Residence, Emily had returned home after giving her statement. When she saw how empty the house was, she couldn’t hold her tears in and wailed.

Both of her parents had been arrested. Her mother was detained as an accomplice, and they had denied Emily’s involvement in order to protect her. Therefore, she was released by the police even though her parents were imprisoned because of her.

It was something that she regretted most in her life, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Her phone rang all of a sudden, causing Emily to startle. When she saw that it was a call from her good friend, she spoke into the phone. “Hi, Sally.”

“I never thought that you’d do such a thing in order to get Young Master Weiss’ affection. You always seemed pretty confident in front of us, but I bet you’re dying of embarrassment right now.”

Hearing that, Emily’s face turned pale. Her friend wasn’t calling to check on her;

instead, Sally was calling to kick her when she was down.

“Since your parents have been imprisoned, you’ll be kicked out of the family soon. I don’t think we will be able to see each other or go shopping together anymore.

By the way, the bag that you previously ordered has arrived, but I don’t think that you will be able to collect it. In that case, I shall do you a favor and buy it up since it’s a limited edition make.”

Emily had enough of the insults and ended the call. Now, she finally knew how it felt when her friends turned their backs on her when she was in trouble. She had brought it upon herself since she was used to trampling on others when she was doing well.

However, the thing that irritated her the most was Sophia being the future Young Mistress of the Weiss Family, subsequently owning the entire Weiss Family’s fortune.

Once Sophia married Arthur, they would build a family together and stay by each other’s side forever, which was supposed to be the life that Emily was going to have. She was sure that Sophia would act high and mighty in front of her if they were to meet in the future.

At 6.00PM, the dinner banquet that was being held at the Weiss Residence had commenced. Martha, who was the hostess, sat at the head of the table while five attractive youngsters sat next to her.

The servants were amazed at how good looking they were as all of them were uniquely gorgeous.

The thing that Martha was most interested in was how Richard and Elliot noticed that Arthur wasn‘t his usual self and how they realized that he was being harmed.

While Richard explained the situation to Martha, Arthur, who was all ears, felt touched by what Richard had done for him. Moreover, he realized that something was wrong from just a phone call.

“We know Arthur well. He would’ve definitely called personally to tell us that he is getting married,” Elliot said.
