Chapter 717
Sophia‘s beautiful eyes narrowed. This man was admitting his mistake? It was her first time hearing that from him!
“My family and I don‘t need your compensation.” Saying that, Sophia tightened her grip around her cup and bit her
lip before continuing, “Also, I have something to confess, because I lied to you.”
Arthur raised his eyebrows curiously. “What is it?”
Sophia took a deep breath and fixed her eyes on the man opposite her. “I lost your family heirloom, and I can never
get it back.”
Arthur paused in surprise for a few seconds, while she lowered her head and waited for him to burst out in anger.
She had prepared herself to bear his fury.
“How did you lose it?” Unexpectedly, he only asked her a question calmly.
Sophia raised her head in shock. “Aren‘t you going to scold me?”
Arthur smirked. “Do you want me to?”
“I thought you‘d scold me. After all, it is your family heirloom, and it‘s priceless.” Sophia blinked. “I didn‘t mean to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlose it. When I saw my dad being arrested and thrown into jail, I lost it while hurrying back. Before that, I‘d been
wearing it the entire time.”
Arthur‘s eyes suddenly narrowed. “You were wearing it?”
When Sophia heard this, she thought he was a germaphobe and hurriedly apologized, “I‘m sorry, I didn‘t wear it on
purpose, but I knew it was very precious, so I didn‘t dare to leave it in the hotel in case I lost it. That‘s why I kept
wearing it and hiding it under my collar. It was fine until I came back home.”
“I didn‘t say you couldn‘t wear it,” Arthur said in a low voice. When he had inherited the necklace, she was the only
other person except for him who had worn it, and Martha had said that the second person to wear the family
heirloom could only be his future wife. That was why he was so surprised when he found out that this woman had
worn it.
“I know I shouldn‘t lie to you. When I said that I wanted to work for you for a year, it was just a half measure. I was
afraid you‘d send my dad to jail again, so I thought that I could stay by your side for a year, then..” At this point,
Sophia‘s pretty face turned red uncontrollably.
Her original plan was pretty despicable in its own way for trying to make him fall in
love with her and forgive her for losing his family heirloom. Now that she thought about it, it was unfair to him as
well.
“Then what?” As he looked at her hesitant expression on her flushed face, he was extremely curious about what
she had to say next.
Sophia had always been honest since she was a child, so she didn‘t think much. She took a deep breath and looked
up at him, saying, “Promise not to laugh at me.”
“Okay, I won‘t laugh.” When Arthur looked at her serious expression as she said this, he already felt like laughing.
How could she make an apology so interesting?
Sophia blew a few stray strands of hair on her forehead before slowly saying, “This is what I had planned. I was
thinking that since you couldn‘t get your necklace back, then I‘ll... I‘ll stay by your side a little longer and see if you
would fall in love with me... If you fell for me and I told you that I lost your family heirloom, you might forgive me,
so... I was going to seduce you...”
Arthur was just about to take an elegant sip of his coffee when he nearly choked on his drink. He clutched his chest

Sophia blinked before saying with a red face, “You can‘t laugh!”
Not only did Arthur feel like laughing, but he wanted to scold her too. This brat barely followed her plan! From the
start to the end, when did she ever seduce him?
“Then?” he rearranged his expression and asked.
“Then, I found out that it‘s impossible to make you fall in love with me,” Sophia concluded
However, Arthur disagreed. Even if she didn‘t follow her plan, he had already started to like her a little. Otherwise,
when he heard about the loss of his family heirloom, he would‘ve definitely been furious and wanted to beat her
up.
“Sophia, nothing is impossible in this world. As long as you try, many things can be possible.” Arthur hinted at her
with his words.
