The Weiss Family’s priceless heirloom is lost? And it’s Sophia who lost it? Oh, my God! That heirloom
is supposed to be worn around my neck! To think that Sophia—that b*tch—has lost it! Damn it! I’ve got
to tell Old Madam Weiss about this! At the thought of this, she took out her cell phone and dialed
Martha’s number.
“Hello, Emily. Is something the matter?”
“Grandma, I’ve got to tell you a big piece of bad news. The family heirloom you gave to Artie is lost,
and it’s Sophia who lost it.”
As she had expected, Martha sounded shocked on the other end of the line. “What?”
“It’s true. I just heard that Artie was anxiously searching for it, but it seems that it couldn’t be found
anymore.”
“Okay, I’ll come back right away.”
Emily hung up the phone with a flicker of delight in her eyes. Now that the family heirloom was lost,
Sophia would be in big trouble.
Martha arrived home just half an hour later. She said to a bodyguard standing guard at the entrance,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Come in after me.”
The bodyguard followed her into the living room before entering the small garden outside the drawing
room.
“Let me ask you this—did Artie lose his necklace?”
The bodyguard’s face froze. He immediately buttoned his lip; Arthur had told them not to go around
telling anyone about this.
“What’s the matter? Not even I can get you to talk, huh?” Martha asked in a commanding voice. “Is the
necklace lost? Out with it!”
The bodyguard dared not defy her. “Yes, it is, Old Madam Weiss.”
“Who lost it?”
The bodyguard hesitated to answer. “It’s…”
Martha looked as black as thunder. “Is it lost at the hands of Sophia?”
The bodyguard was stunned for a few seconds. “You know all about it?”
Martha was inwardly exasperated. Not only had her grandson given their family heirloom to a young
lady without her permission, but the young lady even lost it!
Arthur was adjusting his cuffs while coming downstairs when he saw the bodyguard coming over in a
hurry from the garden. Upon seeing him, the bodyguard immediately came over and apologized to him
in fear. “Young Master Weiss, I-I’m sorry.”
Before Arthur could realize what had happened, a stern and commanding female voice sounded.
“Come over here, Artie!”
Hearing Martha’s voice, Arthur immediately sensed that something was wrong. After darting a look at
the bodyguard who left in a hurry, he went to the garden.
Martha’s eyes were blazing with fury as she sat on the sofa in the garden’s glass house while watching
Arthur coming in. Not only that, but she had a serious expression that he had rarely seen on her face.
“Grandma.” Arthur sat down across from her while waiting for her to question him.
“Where is the family heirloom your mom gave you? Where is it now?” Martha asked straightforwardly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmArthur instantly realized what this was about. But how did Grandma learn about the loss of the family
heirloom? “Grandma, you know all about it?” Not knowing how much Martha knew about it, he had no
choice but to sound her out first.
“Why did you privately give our family heirloom to a young lady without consulting us first? Not only
that, but you even let her lose it carelessly!” Martha questioned angrily.
Arthur’s pupils dilated in shock. Did the bodyguard betray me and tell her about Sophia? He could only
take the blame by lying first, saying, “Grandma, I’m the one who lost it, not her.”
Martha was dumbfounded. Artie’s trying to protect that girl! Why? Have I underestimated his feelings
for her? This immediately put her on the alert. “Artie, let me say this first. You’ve got to recover our
family heirloom and stay away from that Miss Goodwin,” she said while looking at Arthur.
Just then, Emily’s figure showed up nearby in the garden. Shifting her gaze toward her, Martha added,
“In what way is Emily incomparable with that Miss Goodwin? She grew up near our place and is a
better match for you than Sophia Goodwin in terms of family background.”
“Grandma, I can do whatever you say, but I can’t obey you when it comes to my choice of lover. Sorry
about that,” Arthur retorted in a deep voice.
