Chapter 616
At that moment, Anastasia‘s phone rang. After a glimpse at it, she said to her instructor, “Please excuse me for a
moment.”
“Hello, Dad,” she answered as she picked up the phone and moved to the side.
“The final verdict is out. Erica will be imprisoned for fifteen years.” Francis‘ voice could be heard on the other end
of the line.
She consoled her father and said, “Don‘t be sad, Dad. She should face the consequences for her actions. Naomi
may not have taught her, but someone else now has to.”
“I‘m perfectly fine. I‘m only calling to let you know about it since her biological father has also been sentenced to
eight years.”
Anastasia consoled her father again, knowing that he was still in sorrow over Erica‘s imprisonment. Despite the fact

Hayley‘s final verdict would also be announced tomorrow. Given the amount of monetary stakes, a severe penalty
was unavoidable. Karma had finally reached those who had harmed Anastasia.
Three days later, it was announced that Hayley Seymour would be sentenced to 18 years in prison with the
imprisonment happening thereafter. On that same day, Anastasia was to be married on a private island.
Despite her old age, Harriet was overjoyed to be able to attend her grandson‘s wedding.
Many guests arrived at the venue before the big day. They could splash around in the water and celebrate the
upcoming wedding while taking in the spectacular scenery.
The same day, Arthur‘s bodyguards packed their bags in the bar because they were traveling to the island for the
wedding too.
Sophia was also ordered to pack her belongings. She knew Arthur was going to attend a wedding, so she packed a
few sets of vacation clothes for herself.
They were on the cruise ship at 12.00PM, and Sophia was staring at the sea in a daze. She occasionally glanced
over at the man in a lavish suit on the other end of the liner. She didn‘t dare to act rashly after being pushed by
Arthur the day before. He always maintained an aloof demeanor, as if warning them not to approach him.
A small island appeared on the horizon two hours later. The lush greenery, the bright sun, and the long white sandy
beach made people feel free, as if they wanted to run on it.
When Sophia saw the private island, she exclaimed softly, “This island is so beautiful!”
After she disembarked from the ship, the bodyguard assisted her with her luggage. She couldn‘t wait to get to the
beach and play.
“Can I play for a while before returning?” she asked Arthur.
“No.” It was a flat refusal from the man. He wouldn‘t let her do anything she wanted because tormenting her was
the source of his joy.
She made a long face because she had to follow him into the car while looking back at the lovely beach. Arthur was

“You are not allowed to go anywhere on this island without my permission,” he said, sitting on the couch and
instructing the girl in front of him.
She flinched at the man sitting with crossed legs. His haughty expression was drawing a line of supremacy between
them as though he was the king and she was his petty servant.
Sophia became increasingly aware of her low social standing. She regretted having pawned herself by being by his
side and losing all of her freedom. It was unfair because she had always been her parents‘ precious daughter.
“Understood.” she gave a nod. She was left alone and dazed in the villa after he left.
Inside a cafe, the afternoon sun glistened on two handsome men having a casual conversation like a piece of
artwork.
Many women were admiring them as if they were a beautiful painting. Many guests of the Presgrave Family were
present, and they were intrigued by the young man chatting with Elliot, the family‘s head.
They discovered the stranger was Elliot‘s friend after a series of questions and had no idea where he came from or
what his name was.
