“Does your fiance know about our relationship?” Arthur narrowed his eyes and asked.
Sophia’s cheeks reddened after hearing this. Why does he act as if we are having an affair? For goodness sake, we’re just friends. Why does he have to complicate our relationship?
Sophia bit her lip and said, “There’s nothing between us.”
At that moment, Sophia didn’t notice that someone from inside was opening the door behind her. From the corner of his eye, Arthur could see and even figure out who that person was.
So, he unintentionally made himself sound even more ambiguous than before. “Have you forgotten that we used to sleep in the same room? You even saw me naked!”
Christopher, who had just opened the door and walked out, heard this statement at first instance. Since he was angry, he asked out loud, “Sophia, what is your relationship with him?”
His voice took Sophia by surprise and she immediately turned to him and explained, “Christopher, please don’t misunderstand. There’s nothing between …”
Suddenly, her face was cupped by two fair and delicate hands. Without giving her time to react, a set of thin, rejuvenating lips kissed her soft lips.
This took Sophia completely by surprise.
Christopher could only watch as his future fiancee was being kissed by another man.
The bodyguard who stood by the side was also surprised as he saw Young Master Weiss initiating a kiss with a woman.
After kissing Sophia, Arthur flashed a smug look and sneered at Christopher to provoke him.
Sophia was dazed and completely stupefied by the kiss until she heard Christopher’s angry voice. “Let go of her! She’s my girlfriend, and you have no
right to touch her!”
Suddenly, an arm was wrapped around her waist as Christopher finished ranting. She was flattened in an embrace with a cedar scented chest the next second. “I’ve touched her, so what are you going to do?” Arthur smirked as he kissed her hair.
“Sophia, you ought to think this through! Your father’s 10 billion dollars debt will be due soon, and if you are not engaged with me, no one’s going to pay for him. He may need to spend at least 3 years in jail if he can’t pay up!” Christopher was still determined to get Sophia for himself. After all, he’d never give up something he’d never touched before.
Just as Sophia was about to push off Arthur, a deep male voice said, “You’re willing to marry yourself to this pig for a mere 10 billion dollars? How can you be such a loser?”
She had never heard such haughty remarks in her life. Meanwhile, Christopher became enraged when he heard that someone spoke of him as a pig.
“You?! Then, why don’t you try to take out 10 billion dollars in one go?”
When he watched Arthur extend out his hand, the bodyguard gave him a black wallet. Arthur withdrew a black card from his wallet and handed it to Sophia. “Take it and use the money to pay off your father’s debt. Return to serve me after you’ve settled it.”
When Christopher saw it, his eyes widened in amazement. He observed not one, but maybe six or seven black cards in this man’s wallet, if he wasn’t mistaken. With his current net worth, even he himself was ineligible to upgrade to a black card.
Sophia was shocked when she looked at the black card and raised her head. She knew she couldn’t accept something like that from him. So, she quickly shook her head and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Weiss. I can’t take your card.”
“Let’s just ignore him, Sophia. I’m sure he has plans to do something bad. Let’s go inside.” Christopher then moved toward her and tried to pull her away from
Arthur, but Arthur’s bodyguard came our immediately and stopped Christopher from getting close.
Sophia broke free from Arthur’s grip on her waist. Then she told him, “Please let go of me. Thank you.”
When he heard that, he was a little disappointed. This woman is willing to marry someone else instead of accepting his assistance?!
Christopher thought it was finally his turn to give Arthur a provoking smirk as Sophia walked toward him.
He was shocked by what Sophia was about to say, which came as a surprise. Looking at him, she said, “Christopher, let’s cancel our engagement for today. I’m not marrying you!”
“Why?” He looked at her anxiously.
Sophia wasn’t a fool, she knew that when the York Family asked her to marry Christopher and said they would help her father pay off his debt, it was just empty promises. Out of greed, they even asked
for a piece of her parents’ land as a wedding gift for her.
She had actually thought about it while she was inside the room and wondered whether she could get her parents to sell everything they owned to pay off the debt. She was also willing to stay with her parents in a rental home and accompany them.
Moreover, she could also tell that her parents were having trouble deciding what to do about the piece of land. She knew that the York Family was using paying off the debt as an excuse to pressure her parents.
