“Next time, I’ll feed you to the sharks,” warned Arthur.
Sophia struggled to rise to her feet when her legs gave out, causing her body to collapse toward him: ‘Argh!”
With arms bugging his waist, her cold face rested on his bare chest, which was slightly exposed. It felt warm and sturdy.
Arthur was stunned momentarily at the
cold sensation on his chest before
shoving her. “I told you not to come close
to me, didn’t I?”
“My legs are numb. Can’t you even help me for a bit?’ gruntled Sophia as she tried to stand straight.
Will he even get a girlfriend in future? What kind of girl will like him when he’s so cold?
Arthur wheeled around and walked
inside the building with her at his heels. Once the door was closed, the coziness prodded her to have a warm bath right away, which she dic as her heart told.
After returning to her room on the second floor, she had a warm shower before going to bed. Meanwhile, the man in the master room was finally feeling drowsy and drifted into a slumber, as though he had undone the knot in hist heart.
On the other hand, Katrina couldn’t sleep a wink due to the excitement, for she had never once attended such a grandiose wedding. Everyone would agree that the service provided on the island was top notch.
She posted a few clips on her social media account and received the public’s attention. Even the press, which had given several vain attempts to pry Elliot’s wedding, shared her videos.
Now that Katrina was one of the guests, she became their only source of information. Still, the pictures and clips, as well as the articies, vanished in thin air once the morning came. The phone in Katrina’s room rang.
‘Hello. Who is this?” She was still half awake.
“Good morning, Miss Sullivan. Sorry for the disturbance, but we would like to inform you that it is prohibited to disclose anything in regard to the wedding.”
“What? Did I do that?” She played dumb.
“Yes. We’ve deleted your pictures and videos that were posted on your account. Your cooperation is appreciated and we hope that you will understand.” After having said that, the employee terminated the call.
Katrina quickly checked her social media account. Indeed, everything pertaining to the wedding was deleted. She was so livid that she had lost the chance to brag about it to the outside world.
After breakfast, Anastasia went to Harriet’s place to greet her and take care of Jared. As soon as she stepped into the villa, a fight could be heard from the study. An old man sounded angry as he shouted, “Harriet, it’s already the 21st century. Why are you still abiding by the old rules? This is the time to rake in more money! If we don’t do it now, others will
do it anyway.”
Anastasia was nonplussed by the reproach that was laced by a strong resentment.
Then, Harriet’s voice resounded. ‘Henry, rules are rules. These are the family rules that we must follow no matter what.”
“Harriet, you know how hardworking my: son is. All we need is a chance, a chance to be one of the board directors of Presgrave Group. We’re not asking much.. Just a small share of it is enough
“Henry, as the family rules has stated, the men in the family can never be one of the company. We can help with anything else other than that.”
“So what if we work hard when we can’t even enjoy one bit of the money Elliot has earned?”
“Elliot has been doing his best to help the family. You’re doing well on your own too. You should be grateful for what you have.”
“Hmph! Harriet, I know what you’re afraid of. You’re afraid that we’ll pose a threat to Elliot once we become stronger, aren’t you?
