Chapter 608
As Elliot had a department dedicated to collecting any information related to the corporate world, it was impossible
for him not to know about this.
“Tell me why you did it,” he asked curiously.
“If anyone is to blame, it‘s their fault for giving birth to a daughter who made me angry.”
“Is their daughter the one who stole your family heirloom?” Elliot asked, his eyebrows raised.
Arthur nodded. “That‘s right. She‘s also missing, so I have no idea what she‘s done to my family heirloom either.”
“You made such a huge fuss just to force her to show up on her own, right?” Elliot knew Arthur well.
“She‘s lucky that I didn‘t do anything else.” Arthur picked up a glass from the table and took a sip. “When she
comes back, she‘ll pay for it.”
At his words, Elliot felt a hint of pity for the girl.
Arthur propped up his chin and asked, “Elliot, what do you think I should give you as a wedding gift? Tell me, what

“It‘s fine. You can just give me a simple gift.” Elliot didn‘t want him to break the bank for a present.
“I want to give my godson a present too, but I don‘t know what children like.”
“He likes Lego, so you can just give him a few boxes.” Elliot added with a smile, “If you can‘t, you can also hurry up
and get married to give him a younger brother or sister to play with.”
“Say, come and be my best man!” Elliot invited.
“I can‘t.” Arthur waved a hand.
“Why not?”
“Because I might steal all your glory!” Arthur teased.
“That wouldn‘t happen.” Elliot was confident in himself as well.
The two buddies looked at each other and laughed. This kind of happiness between friends was simple and pure,
and sometimes even naive.
On the street of a certain country, a girl had just finished shopping with her friend when a page of a newspaper flew
toward her feet all of a sudden. She kindly picked up the trash and was about to throw it into a nearby trash can,
but just as she was about to do so, she saw a familiar face. It was an enlarged photo, and seeing the man in the
picture immediately sent a pang to her heart. She exclaimed, “Dad!”
Immediately after, she quickly unfolded the entire newspaper and saw the picture of her father on the headline
with a text description next to it, and another picture of her father being taken into the car by the police.
“How could this be? Why was my dad caught, and why did the company go bankrupt?” The girl clutched the
newspaper tightly, feeling shocked to the core.
“Sophia, what‘s wrong?” Her friend rushed over to support her, who was about to faint.
“My dad! My dad was captured. I have to go back home.”
Saying that, Sophia fished out her phone and called her mother. This was her first time contacting her family ever
since she bailed on her marriage a month ago
“Hello?” Emma‘s voice sounded exhausted.
“Mom, it‘s me. What happened to Dad? Why was he captured?”

trouble, and so is the company.”
“Okay, Mom, I‘ll come back now.” Sophia was so anxious that her eyes welled up with tears. She had been a bad
daughter for leaving her family
behind just to escape her marriage.
“I‘ll send you to the airport.”
The two girls quickly packed up their clothes and belongings in the hotel. As she was too worried about her father,
Sophia was so panicked that even when the necklace around her neck suddenly fell into the clothes in her suitcase,
she didn‘t notice at all. Instead, she stuffed a few more clothes inside before she closed the suitcase and left.
Two hours later, she arrived at the airport and boarded a plane to return home. At the same time, a message
arrived on a certain man‘s phone with her flight information.
“You‘re finally coming back, aren‘t you?” Arthur sneered.
On the plane, Sophia‘s heart was about to burst. Even if the plane was the fastest means of transportation, she still
felt that it was slow. It must be my fault. It‘s because I didn‘t marry Christopher that Dad‘s company is in trouble
now. She regretted her stubborn decision to bail from her marriage, and thought that she should‘ve married
Christopher to help her father pull through
