Chapter 719
All of a sudden. Arthur had the urge to seize the moment to do what he wanted and chase after the person he
liked. If not, he was afraid that he would run out of time to get her in his hands. He turned his gaze toward
Presgrave Corporation again as he fell into deep thought.
Three days later, the news of Harriet‘s death was published in the papers, causing an uproar in the upper society.
At the same time, the media turned their attention to the newly appointed Mrs. Presgrave, Anastasia, who would
soon become the most powerful woman in the Presgrave Family.
Harriet‘s funeral was also under preparation. Elliot handled everything and hardly slept, while Anastasia did not go
to the company and prepared for the funeral with him. Harriet had instructed during her lifetime not to make her
funeral a big deal. She just hoped that on the day she was buried in the ground, the members of the Presgrave
Family and several of her friends would come to see her off.
That day, Jared finally came back from Nigel‘s house. The moment he arrived home, he instantly asked Anastasia,
“Mommy, Uncle Nigel said Great–Grandma went somewhere very far away, and that I can‘t see her anymore.”

“I will. What about phone calls? Can I call her?”
Anastasia‘s eyes suddenly turned red, and she couldn‘t stop her tears from falling. She hugged her son and said,
“Jared, Great–Grandma has left us. Let‘s keep her in our hearts, and in a few days, we‘ll go and visit her together,
all right?”
Jared wiped the tears from his mother‘s eyes sensibly, as if he understood where Harriet had gone. He consoled,
“Mommy, did Great–Grandma pass away? You don‘t have to hide it from me. I‘m not scared.”
As Anastasia looked at her son‘s resolute gaze, she hugged him in relief and nodded softly. “Yes, your great–
grandma has gone to heaven. You can miss her.”
“I‘ll miss her.”
Just then, a figure appeared at the doorway as Elliot walked inside. He had heard everything, and he wanted his son
to know about Harriet‘s death as well.
“Daddy.” The young boy jumped into his father‘s arms, his large eyes turning red as if he understood what it meant
to lose a loved one.
Elliot hugged him and gave him a kiss. “Good boy.”
When Anastasia came over, Elliot stretched out a hand. Looking at her husband who had not slept for several days,
she walked over to hug him, feeling pained. Just like that the family of three embraced each other tightly in the
large living room.
At the Goodwin Residence‘s entrance, three black SUVs came to a stop, and Arthur walked over with several senior
executives of Goodwin Corporation behind him.
Drake looked at the young man in surprise before he asked in a cold voice, “Mr. Weiss, what is the meaning of
this?”
“Mr. Goodwin, I apologize for everything I‘ve done to you. I acquired your company out of malicious intent, but now,
I‘ll hand your shares back to you. Please take over your company again.” Arthur‘s tone was different, as if he had
turned into another person, and he even spoke respectfully to Drake.
Drake was instantly shocked to his core. What was this young man planning? First, he bought his company, but now
he was giving it back. The process was extremely complicated, but he was returning it to him just because he said

“Mr. Weiss, please don‘t humiliate me anymore. Just take the company if you want it! But I‘m warning you, stop
pestering my daughter,” Drake warned.
“Sophia and I are friends.” Arthur started seriously, then turned his head and glanced at the few executives. “All of
you, talk to Mr. Goodwin!”
These men were all Drake‘s previous subordinates, and they immediately came to persuade him to take over the
company‘s affairs.
“President Goodwin, the company can‘t live without you! It‘s a good thing that Young Master Weiss has returned the
company‘s shares to you!”
“That‘s right! President Goodwin, you‘re still so young. You should think of your wife and daughter‘s future!”
“The company is doing well. We‘re just waiting for you to come back and lead us to more wealth and success!”
Of course, Drake wanted to get his company back–it was his life‘s work, after all. He walked outside toward the
yard, only to see Arthur standing next to the pond with a hand in his pocket, admiring the goldfish in it leisurely.
