Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Arthur picked up the iPad and fixed his eyes on the lady in the photo. The light shone on her face, illuminating her tender
features; she looked as breathtakingly pure as a fresh-out-of water water lily.
Although she looked totally different from the heavily made-up lady from the other night, there was no way Arthur could mistake
her for someone else with his excellent eyesight. It’s her, he thought. He recognized from this pair of eyes that the lady in the
photo was the one from the other night. She was heavily made-up that night, but her eyes were indescribably clear and bright;
they were as black and lustrous as obsidian. “Find out everything about her family as well as her extended families,” he ordered
frostily.
Having gotten accustomed to his temper, the bodyguard beside him immediately did as he was told.
Arthur had grown up being raised like a prince since he was born, and his family owned a territory that spanned an incredibly
wide area. Consequently, as
the only child of his family, he was both the lifeblood of his family and the heir to a family fortune that was worth hundreds of
millions. As a result, he had never been offended by anyone from his birth until he was 27 years old. If he was dissatisfied with
anything, it had to be dealt with within a day. This time, however, he had lost his family heirloom for over a month, which was the
greatest humiliation of his life. Therefore, it was foreseeable how miserable the young lady’s fate would be..
Ten minutes later, the bodyguard handed the iPad to him once again. “Young Master Weiss, here is all the information about
Sophia Goodwin. Please take a look.”
Arthur read through the story about the
Goodwin Family, Sophia’s father was the

chairman of two listed companies and had a fortune of over ten billion. However, his business had been losing money in recent
years, so he was now two billion in debt instead. Therefore, he intended to establish a collaboration with the York Family, forming
an alliance with them by marrying off his beloved only
daughter to Christopher.
Arthur checked the time; it was 8:00 PM. He curled his lips into a sneer, saying, “Let’s pay a visit to the Goodwins.”
Meanwhile, at the Goodwin Residence, Drake Goodwin was distressed by his company’s inability to sustain itself while fretting
about his runaway daughter. The deal had been made between the two families, and Christopher liked Sophia: very much, but
she wilfully and recklessly sneaked out of the country. Since then, she had been incommunicado, her whereabouts. unknown.
Emma, his wife, said worriedly. “Take the medicine, Drake, or your heart’s gonna. give you problems again.”
Drake swallowed the medicine before asking the butler, “Have you found out which country Sophia is in?”
“Miss Sophia is hiding very well this time. We really can’t find her; she’s got the backbone not to use all her debit cards. even
after you’ve had them unfrozen.”
“Well, she’s not to blame for this. I’ve spoiled her rotten since she was little.” Drake cared very much about Sophia, after all. At
this moment, he was worried again about how she was doing abroad.
“Sigh. Sophia probably dislikes Young Master Christopher for his looks.”
Drake argued, “He’s a little chubby, but that’s understandable. It’ll be fine as long as he loses a bit of weight!” In his opinion,
Christopher was somewhat overweight and plain-looking, but he wasn’t all that bad as a husband.

“I’m afraid it won’t be easy for him to lose weight with his size.” Emma gave him a dirty look. “He’s almost 220 pounds.” Drake
immediately heaved a sigh. “If I’d had another choice, I wouldn’t have put Sophia through this.”
“Who cares if the company is going bankrupt? It’s fine as long as we’ve got some money left to support ourselves in our old age,”
Emma said.
“The company was founded by my
grandpa, so I have to keep it afloat. I’d
never give up unless we’re in a hopeless situation,” Drake replied with ambition.
However, little did he know that he would be in a hopeless situation tonight-and a chillingly hopeless situation at that, because
his daughter had brought the Goodwins an even greater disaster in the form of a young man from a mysterious and
overwhelmingly wealthy family.
Just then, the servant came over and reported, “Sir, someone’s asking to meet you.”
“Who’d be visiting at such a late hour? Invite the person in,” Drake replied with a wave of his hand.
Soon after that, he saw a dignified looking young man dressed in expensive clothes coming in under the light. He looked
charmingly handsome, as if his face had been kissed by God. Not only that, but as he walked, he gave off an air of aloofness,
projecting a powerful and forbidding presence.
Emma’s eyes widened slightly. Just who is this rich young man? Is he here because Of Sophia.
