Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman )
Chapter 685

Chapter 685

“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

before uttering, “Mr. Weiss…”

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.
