Could I have dropped it in the hotel overseas? Or on the plane? Or in the cab?
She had no idea at all.
“About that… I got into your car last time because someone was chasing me at the bar entrance. As for stealing your things. I didn’t steal it. My hair got caught on your necklace, and when your bodyguard took me out, I took your necklace away with me. I’m sorry… But I’m not a thief.” Sophia corrected the nickname he gave her very seriously.
Arthur didn’t bother to argue with her and just wanted to see his family. heirloom at that instant. He stretched out his hand toward her. “Hand it over.”
Sophia gulped. She had no idea where she had dropped it, so how could she hand it over?
“Uh… I…”
“If you can’t hand it over, your father will be doomed for life, Arthur warned.
“What? You did that to my dad?” Sophia
glared at him angrily.
“I want my necklace. Return it to me now, Arthur demanded again, his cold gaze boring intently into her.
Sophia’s mind was swarmed with thoughts. It was clear that this man was powerful at a glance, so was her father’s: company made bankrupt by him, and was her father also sent to the police station because she accidentally took his necklace last time? In that case, did that mean that she was the cause of her father’s misfortune? However, she didn’t know where the necklace had gone. She had to look for it, or ask her friends abroad if she had left it at the hotel.
‘I’ll tell you only if you get my dad out of the police station. Otherwise, don’t think about seeing your necklace again. She raised her head and threatened him.
Around them, sharp gasps could be heard. How dare this girl threaten Young Master Weiss? Does she have guts of steel?
In fact, Sophia just didn’t know who the
man in front of her was. Even if she did, she would not be afraid of him as she had always been a brave person since she was a child.
“Are you threatening me?’ Arthur thought he didn’t hear her right. This woman wouldn’t return his belongings and was now threatening him with it?
“Yup! You heard me right. If you want your necklace back, you have to let my dad go. Otherwise, you’ll never get it back.” Sophia repeated her threat.
“You… Arthur’s fist paused in the air. If it wasn’t because she was a woman, he would’ve definitely thrown a punch her way. If she were a man, they would be in a fight by now.
Sophia was still looking at him a little fearfully as she backed away in an attempt to put some distance between. them.
“Fine, I’ll let your dad out. Now hand me my necklace.” Shockingly, Arthur gave in to her.
“Only after my dad gets released.” Sophia was not gullible..
Arthur’s anger turned into amusement as he asked, “Woman, you really don’t know your place. Do you know who I am?”
“Even though you’re handsome, do I have to know who you are?” Sophia asked with a raised eyebrow, unimpressed.
The bodyguards who were standing by the side looked at her with wide eyes, feeling scared for this girl who was constantly looking for death. They wanted to show her what their monstrous young master was usually like, and let her know what true fear felt like.
“I want to go home now and see my dad safely come home within an hour” Sophia continued to dish out her orders.
Arthur was already on the brink of losing his temper.
“Fine, I want to see my necklace within ant hour.’ He spoke with gritted teeth.
There was no way Sophia could promise
him that as she had no idea where his necklace was!
“Save that for after I see my dad.” Saying that, she picked up her bag and said to the bodyguard, “My suitcase is still in your car. Please help me open the door.”
The bodyguard looked at Arthur. From the looks of things, this girl had the greater say, so he could only retrieve her suitcase for her. After getting her belongings, Sophia hailed a car and went home.
Several bodyguards stood with their hands by their side at the bar, waiting for the young master to sweep out the entire wine cabinet in a rage. However, he was unusually quiet. Other than that brewing storm in his gaze, nothing else happened.
