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.”
“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.
