This time, she returned to the country precisely because she heard from Emily that there was a girl who was deceiving her grandson, and she wanted to come back and set things straight.
When Arthur's eyes swept across Emily's guilty expression, he could already guess what she had said to Martha..
At 5.00PM in the international airport, a large private jet arrived before a luxuriously dressed old lady holding a box wrapped in black silk cloth in her hand appeared from the VIP entrance, her movements gentle and careful.
Behind her, there was a line of four maids and eight bodyguards following her.

Arthur, who had been waiting at the entrance, immediately stepped up to greet her. “Grandma.” Martha looked at her grandson with sharp and piercing eyes. “Artic, why do you look so unenergetic? Didn't you sleep well last night?” “I missed you so much that | couldn't sleep well,” he explained with a smile.
“I don’t believe you at all.” Martha and her son had both married and had children at a young age. Therefore, although she was only 68 years old this year, her grandson was already grown up.
“It really hurts.” Arthur curled his lips and smiled while stretching out his hand to carefully take the urn from Martha's hand. “Let me take Grandpa back.” Arthur accompanied Martha back to the villa. Along the way, she observed how much the country had developed. Although she was born abroad and lived outside of the country as well, she still wanted her hometown to prosper.
“How homely!” She sighed.
“Grandma, if you like it here, we can set up a house here. What do you think?” Arthur suggested.
Martha looked at her grandson in surprise. As she had watched him grow up since he was a child, she knew his personality and preferences well. When Arthur met her gaze, there was a flash of discomfort in his eyes..
“Are you hiding something from me?” she immediately asked.
“No.” “Out with it. Tell me about Miss Sophia. | want to know what kind of girl can affect my grandson as well.” Martha refused to let him avoid the topic.
Arthur chuckled. “She’s just an ordinary girl. There’s nothing special.” Looking at her grandson's reaction, she felt that this girl named Sophia was not just anyone and became even more interested in the reason why this girl was able to make her grandson defend her like this.

“Grandma, I'll ask the realtors to come over and talk to you tomorrow.” Arthur changed the subject.
Martha didn’t continue to probe either After all, she would be here for some time, and she would eventually get the chance to meet that girl.
Meanwhile, Drake had already returned to Goodwin Residence to recuperate his health. Sophia saw that all of the staff in the house had been dismissed, and her mother had started to take charge of the cooking. However, because it had been quite a while since Emma last cooked, her skills had become rusty, and she accidentally cut her finger while cutting vegetables for dinner.
At the table, Drake blamed himself. “It’s all my fault. If | didn’t get set up by that b’stard, we can at least hire a maid.” Sophia felt her heart ache for Emma as well and she offered, “I'll cook from now on!” Emma smiled. “It’s fine! | don’t think you even know how to hold a knife.” Seeing that her family was starting to live frugally, Sophia couldn't afford to sit around anymore. It just so happened that: Arthur gave her a vacation, so she could take the opportunity to find a job. In the evening, she started to write a résumé and sent it to many large companies online, hoping that she could get a job as soon as possible.
At night, in Martha's room at Arthur's villa, Emily reported to her what had happened in the past few days, making Sophia seem like a seductress.
“Grandma, she took Artie to fool around in a hotel last night, and even had her pajamas wet. After that, when | tagged along with the bodyguard to send them a new set, | saw that the two of them were only wearing bathrobes in the room.”
