“What can I do for you, sir?” Drake said with a smile as he greeted the young man. He searched his
memory, but he couldn’t seem to remember or know such a figure.
“This is our Young Master. His family name is Weiss, so you may call him Young Master Weiss,”
Arthur’s bodyguard replied in a deep voice.
Drake carefully searched his memory again for a family surnamed Weiss, but nothing came to mind.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Weiss, may I know who your father is?”
“You’re not qualified to know that,” Arthur replied impassively.
Drake was rendered speechless for a moment. I’ve never seen such an arrogant young man before, he
thought. Holding back his temper, he asked, “In that case, Young Master Weiss, what makes you
come to me at this time of night?”
Arthur darted his eyes toward the couple.
“Your daughter has stolen my family heirloom, so I’m here to look for her. “What? You mean Sophia has
stolen from
you? That’s impossible! Sophia never
steals from anyone,” Emma immediately
retorted for Sophia’s sake.

immediately,” Arthur’s bodyguard replied.
Drake thought this was impossible, though. “This has got to be a misunderstanding, or you guys
must’ve gotten the wrong person. My daughter isn’t in the country. She went abroad a month ago.”
The bodyguard produced an iPad and handed it to the couple. “Is this your daughter?”
Emma immediately took the iPad to confirm it, and sure enough, she recognized Sophia at a glance
despite the latter’s heavy makeup. “What’s wrong with Sophia? It’s indeed my daughter in
the video, but she won’t steal anything
“Where is she?” Arthur asked, narrowing his glacial eyes.
‘My daughter isn’t in the country. And besides, we’ve lost touch with her as well. I’m sorry, Young
Master Weiss, but I’m afraid you have to wait until she comes back. When she does, we’ll immediately
ask her about this Emma replied honestly.
“Wait? I hate this word the most.” Arthur had run out of patience because of this, so it was impossible
for him to wait any longer.
“But there’s nothing we can do about this. We can’t get in touch with our daughter at the moment. If
she’s really taken something from you, we’ll definitely ask her to return it.”
“Your daughter has taken Young Master Weiss’ dearest possession. If the object is broken, there’s no
way you can afford to pay for it. The bodyguard explained the gravity of the situation.
Drake and Emma exchanged a brief look. Then, Drake promised. If our daughter has really taken it,
we’ll definitely give it back to you in perfect condition
“Your daughter went abroad to avoid getting married, so y o you guys can’t get in touch with her for the
time being, right? I have a way to make her contact you guys,” Arthur’s eyes flickered menacingly like a
demon spreading its dark wings.
“What way?’ Emma asked curiously.
“You’ll know that very soon,” Arthur replied impassively. Then, he said to his bodyguard, ‘Let’s go!”
Drake and Emma watched as the mysterious man showed up and left after leaving behind a jumble of
mysteries. It was as though he came and left without leaving behind any traces of it.
“Where is this Young Master Weiss from?” Emma promptly asked Drake.
“Who am I supposed to ask that question? I’ve thought about it for a long time, but I couldn’t recall
anyone surnamed Weiss

young man to have the audacity to talk so big.
Having observed Arthur more carefully, Emma replied, “It doesn’t seem so to me. Both his bearing and
the way he dresses are definitely those of a kid from a rich family. Not only that, but he’s good looking,
too.”
“Still, he accused our daughter of stealing from him! Sophia has never been short of anything since she
was little, so what could she have stolen from him? I think he’s just making a fuss over nothing.” Drake
looked down on such gilded youth. “How could I not know what kind of a person I’ve brought Sophia up
to be? She’d never steal anything. She had never even taken one more candy from others since she
was little! So, just ignore him.”
However, Emma asked again curiously, s “He just said that he has a way to make Sophia contact us
voluntarily. What way could it be?”
Drake couldn’t wrap his head around it either. How can he find our daughter, whom we’re unable to find
after doing everything possible?
He was just about to go to sleep that night when he suddenly got a phone call. “Bad news, Mr.
Goodwin! Someone has bought the Alpire Group, and the capital project that we just negotiated last
month has been canceled!”
