Chapter 681
“No way. The last time that happened, Sophia fled the country.” Drake was distressed on behalf of his daughter.
“It‘s one billion! Where are we going to get that money? Whatever it is, I wouldn‘t let you head back to prison. If
you do, I don‘t want to live anymore.”
Sophia almost dropped the fruits in her hands. What? Dad owes the bank a billion? And as long as I agree to marry
Christopher, his family would help Dad pay off his debt?
However, she was very grateful for Christopher. After she had fled to avoid their marriage the last time, he still
wanted her. Now that his family was offering to help, what more could she ask for?
At this moment, she pushed open the door and interrupted the arguing couple. “Dad, Mom, I‘ve heard everything,
so you can stop arguing now. I‘ll do it. I‘ll marry Christopher.”
“Sophia!”
The couple looked back at their daughter‘s determined face as they were stunned.
“As long as I can pay Dad‘s debts; as long as Dad doesn‘t go to jail, I‘m willing to do anything,” Sophia exclaimed

“Sophia, there‘s no rush—” Drake was about to assure her when he was interrupted.
“Dad, it‘s okay. I‘m willing to marry Christopher. I‘m okay,” Sophia insisted as she sniffed.

After saying that, she put the fruits down on the table before turning to leave the ward. Outside, she found
Christopher‘s number and dialed it.
A gruff male voice sounded. “Hello, who is this?”
“I‘m Sophia Goodwin.”
“Sophia? Is this really you? My dream girl has finally decided to reach out to me!” The voice on the other end was
ecstatic.
“I‘m prepared to marry you, but can you really help my father with his debts?”
“As long as you marry me, your father will be like my own father. I will help him pay off his debt immediately,”
Christopher promised.
“Okay, then! Then, let‘s find a time to meet!”
“That‘s up to you. I am abroad now. I‘ll come back on Friday, and I‘ll pick you up when we‘ve set a date.”
“Great!”
After she hung up the phone, she sighed as Arthur‘s face flashed across her mind.
At this moment, in a resort abroad, Christopher was basking his 200–pound body in the sun: the towel wrapped
around him could barely cover his waist.
“Young Master York, are you really going to marry Sophia Goodwin and pay off Drake‘s debt?”
“Sophia is the woman I‘ve always wanted. Of course, I won‘t be so naive. I‘ll pay the initial down payment first. After
she marries me, she‘ll be my wife. By then, she‘ll have to listen to me. Then, it‘d be up to me to decide whether I
really finish paying off her father‘s debt or not,” Christopher explained with a smile, making a shrewd calculation.

and looked carefully before she quickly turned her back, afraid that someone would recognize her.
The woman was Hayley. She was in a gray scrub and had her hair trimmed to her ears. She had been here for
almost a month now and had nearly severed all contact from the outside world. However, she did not expect to
meet her acquaintance here.
Among the people that came in earlier, she knew one of them: Erica Tillman. She had the same haircut as Hayley

Currently, Erica looked haggard and pale. Back then, she was treated like a princess. Now, she was forced to eat
things she had never eaten before. The food served here wasn‘t even served to her servants back at home, but she
had no choice.
It was as if she was getting her karma served to her. Although she had gone through her initial remorse till her
current awakening, it was too late.
She would have to spend the second half of her life here as she was serving over ten years of imprisonment. Erica
was quietly eating her rock–solid steamed buns and some rancid noodles when she heard a sharp voice yelling,
“Hayley, what are you doing? Get back to work.”
Right then, Erica froze in her place. She raised her head and looked in the direction of the voice and saw a familiar
figure. Although the woman had deliberately turned her back toward her, Erica could still recognize her at a
glance.
