Chapter 691

Christopher followed Sophia as she pushed open the door to the room. Once she entered the room,

she addressed the York Family, “Mr. and Mrs. York, I regret to inform you that I cannot get engaged to

Christopher. Please forgive me.” She then turned to her parents and said, “Let’s go home, Mom and

Dad.”

“What? Sophia, what’s the matter? I thought we discussed this, so why have you decided not to get

engaged to Christopher this time?”

Meanwhile, Drake and Emma exchanged glances. Surely, they also sensed the York Family’s true

motives for this engagement. Now that Sophia had openly broken off her engagement, there was no

longer any reason to associate with the York Family.

Drake reclined to his wheelchair while Sophia made her way over to him and began pushing him out.

After Emma had

made her pleasantries, they left the room.

Arthur was still in the hallway and hadn’t left yet. He seemed to remember something right then. When

he bought Drake Goodwin’s company the last time, he was the one who earned the 10 billion dollars

debt that came with it.

When Sophia left the room and saw Arthur still standing in the hallway, she spoke to him. “I’m going to

take my dad back to the hospital, so I’ll leave first.”

Drake still held a grudge against Arthur for taking over his company with ill intent. So, he only gave

Arthur a quick glance before letting her push him away.

Arthur took out his phone and called a few numbers after he watched the family of three enter into the

elevator. “I need help with this one thing.”

Christopher pushed all the tableware off the table in the private room. Infuriated, he said, “How dare

they look down on us, the Goodwin Family! Fine! I will wait till Drake is sentenced to jail!”

“Darn it! I assumed Drake would offer that plot of land as a wedding gift and

present it to us. Who knew Sophia wasn’t such a fool?” Edmund expressed his dissatisfaction.

Sophia assisted Drake in getting into the car to return to the hospital. As she sat in the front passenger

seat, she reminisced about Arthur’s kiss earlier and couldn’t believe this man had kissed her.

“Let’s just sell everything that can be sold and pay off the debt, Mom and Dad. I’ll pay them the rest of

the money when I obtain a job in the future,” Sophia told her parents seated in the back passenger

seat.

“Well, I guess that’s the only way to go now.” Drake let out a heavy sigh when he thought about how

hard it might be for Sophia to pay off his debt for the rest of her life.

Suddenly, Drake’s phone rang. Thus, he picked up his phone and answered.

His words could be heard, but no one knew what the other person on the other end of the line had said

until he asked, “Really? All my debts have been settled?”

Emma and Sophia stared at him with disbelief at hearing this.

Drake’s eyes revealed traces of both joy and confusion as he spoke with the person on the phone.

“Alright. Alright. Thank you. On Monday, I will absolutely head over to get the proof of settlement.”

After hanging up the phone, he said to Emma and Sophia, “That was from the bank. They called to

inform me that my debt had been fully settled.”

“Who helped you?” Emma asked quickly. “Could the York Family be involved?”

“There’s no way the York Family has this much cash flow.”

Then, all of a sudden, Sophia knew who helped Drake to pay off his debt. So, she told them, “I know,

Mom and Dad! Mr. Weiss was the one who paid off your debt!”

“What? That was Mr. Weiss whom we just saw in the hallway?” Drake questioned in surprise.

“Why would he want to help us pay off the debt? You still owe him an heirloom, don’t you?” a shocked

Emma asked.

Sophia couldn’t replace the real answer, but she knew that Arthur was the one who had paid Drake’s debt.

“Mom, Dad, don’t worry about this. I can handle it,” she said.

Drake and Emma glanced at each other and thought, how will Sophia handle this? Is it possible that

Mr. Weiss liked our daughter?

Soon, they arrived at the hospital.

Drake got out of the car while Emma looked at Sophia and told her, “If it’s really Mr. Weiss, you need to

thank him right away.”

“Sure, I’ll do it! You guys head first. I’ll replace him right now!”

Sophia halted a cab as she said that. After that, she pulled out her phone and called Arthur.

“Hello?” The phone was answered as a low, deep voice of a man of unknown temperament came

through.

“Were you the one who helped settle my father’s debt?” Sophia asked quickly.

“Yes. I had settled his debt.”

“Why… Why did you do it?” Even if her brain were to burst, Sophia was still unable to uncover the

reason for this issue.

“Listen carefully, you owe me a family heirloom and 10 billion dollars from now on.”

“All right. I’ll pay you back for what you did for me. If you are willing, I can even be your servant for a

lifetime.” Sophia had no choice but to sell herself to Arthur. Yet, she didn’t mind much because she

knew she would feel better once father paid off his debt.
