Sophia was wondering when he was going to start the car when she suddenly noticed him reach out
and leaned his upper torso over to her side.
Instantly, her pretty eyes widened and her eyelashes fluttered wildly. Subsequently, she shut her eyes
instinctively and awaited his kiss.
At that moment, she heard his low rumble of laughter sounding by her ears. Soon after that, she felt
someone tugging on her seatbelt and buckling it for her.
Slightly embarrassed, Sophia wished so badly for the earth to swallow her up. Right then, he cupped
her tiny face in his large palms and his dominance engulfed her as he planted a sweet good–morning
kiss on her lips.
“I was afraid that if I didn‘t kiss you, you would be disappointed,” said Arthur in an annoying tone.
“You‘re taking advantage of me and yet you think your actions are justifiable, huh?” Sophia chided him
in a low voice.
In response, he burst out laughing. He did not look the least bit similar to a young master from an
affluent family at all in this present moment; he was just a childish man–child in front of his beloved
woman.
“Stop laughing! Let‘s go!” she urged him.
Arthur‘s large palm gracefully maneuvered the steering wheel as they drove out of the underground
parking lot.
Meanwhile, inside Sophia‘s house, Emña noticed some intriguing clues soon
enough. Why are there two toothbrushes on her basin? There are also two bath towels and the color of
one of them clearly belongs to a male.
As such, she started to search the place and soon found a pair of male bedroom slippers and even a
pair of sneakers. At that point, she finally realized the reason why Sophia insisted on moving out–she
had a boyfriend and they were both now cohabitating!
Emma was momentarily dumbfounded as she did not expect Sophia to have suddenly grown into a
woman who had a boyfriend.
Gosh! As parents, we can‘t interfere
in such matters, so I guess I can only get her to bring him back home when the time comes. By then, w
e‘ll be able to judge his personality and find out more about his family background.
Emma decided not to expose Sophia‘s secret for the time being to avoid Sophia from
feeling awkward. As such, she decided to head home and discuss the situation with Drake before
inquiring with Sophia another day on whether she would bring the mystery man home.
After Anastasia had sent Jared off to school, she decided that there was something that she had to do.
She had to organize a meeting and invite every elder member as well as those who held important
positions from each of the Presgrave extended family. She would then have to reveal during the
meeting what Liam and his family had done and raise a warning to everyone else.
Clearly, she did not wish for the same thing to occur again. If anyone dared to go after her family, then
they would have to face the consequences of it.
Elliot was not going to interfere in this matter because he had left things in the hands of his wife. He
was just going to be her steadfast supporter and back her from behind.
At 9.00AM, everyone important who was supposed to attend the meeting had received the notification.
Naturally, some of the older generations, who presumed that they held exalted statuses due to their
age, sent their children as representatives. The reason was that they intended to emphasize their
status as Anastasia‘s elders.
This was their unspoken way of going against this young lady, who was the Young Mistress of the
Presgrave Family.
At the meeting room of Presgrave Group with the capacity of thirty pax, every family representative that
was supposed to attend had already gathered together at 10.30AM. Amongst them was Jacob who
was also in attendance to represent his father.
All of them had heard of the things that Liam and Lorelai did, so they were on tenterhooks at the
moment as they could tell why Anastasia had called for this meeting today.
At 10.32AM, the sound of high heels were heard clicking rhythmically outside the door to the meeting
room.
Soon, Anastasia appeared dressing in an elegant custom–made suit and she strode purposefully into
the room. Her long hair billowed behind and she exuded elegance and dominance as the lady of the
family. She had no intentions of masking her dominant aura nor did she turn up to this meeting as the
younger generation of the Presgraves. She appeared at this meeting as the exalted Young Mistress of
Presgrave Family; everyone on the scene could tell by sensing the aura she radiated.
Subsequently, she took a seat in the middle of the room and swept her eyes across each person in
attendance. She paused for a moment and considered with a solemn expression before voicing out,
“Thank you all for making the time to attend this meeting that I‘ve organized.”
“Anastasia, why did you call us all here for an emergency meeting?” a woman in her fifties voiced out
first and called out Anastasia‘s name as if she was not the Mrs. Presgrave.
