Chapter 725

It was early morning, and the sky had just cleared for a while before becoming overcast, immediately
after which it began to drizzle. Today was the day Harriet would be laid to rest. At about 9:00 AM,
everyone who came to see her off on her last journey arrived at the cemetery on time.

Anastasia was wearing a black dress with a white flower on her chest. With a dignified and graceful
expression, she stood next to Elliot, whereas her two assistants stood one meter behind her. Sophia
and Grace were both dressed in black while standing and holding umbrellas.

The Presgraves came one after another. The first ones to arrive were Liam and Kendra, who came with
their daughter Lorelai and their son Lewis. As the husband and wife spoke a few words to Elliot with
profound grief, Lorelai turned her gaze to the latter with sympathy. Seems like the past few days have
been tough on him, she thought.

Elliot’s expression had a hint of grief and unconcealed weariness to it.

Inwardly, Lorelai still loved him. After studying his face for quite a while, she sensed a gaze upon her,
which alerted her at once. It was Anastasia, though she looked amicable without warning her too much.
“Thank you for coming, Lorelai,” she said to her.

Lorelai nodded before walking toward Liam. Soon after that, another faction in the Presgrave Family
arrived as well. Coming with their two sons—Jacob, their eldest son, and their ten-year-old youngest
son—Nolan and his wife were followed by his supporters, who were all branch members of the family.

“Sorry for your loss, Elliot.”

“Thank you, Uncle Nolan.” Elliot nodded.

Seeing Sophia at a glance with his sharp eyes, Jacob was astounded for a few seconds; he never
expected to see the woman he liked at the funeral.



Sophia saw him, too, and she gave him a look out of courtesy as their eyes met briefly.

Jacob didn’t like the funeral at first, but he suddenly found it interesting after seeing that Sophia was
present. Little did he think he would meet this pretty and adorable junior again.

The next ones to arrive were Harriet’s friends, all four of whom were old and had to sit on wheelchairs
and be wheeled here by their families. Elliot and Anastasia voluntarily came up to them and chatted
with them.



Just then, a black SUV stopped by the side of the road nearby, upon which a man holding a black
umbrella stepped out of the vehicle with a bouquet of white flowers in his arms. He looked lean and
slender in the drizzling rain. Then, his umbrella was raised slightly, revealing his young and handsome
features. It was Arthur.

Elliot came up to Arthur and greeted him before the two buddies gave each other a wordless hug.

Sophia seemed both surprised and unsurprised to see Arthur here.

Jacob felt incredibly restless when he turned his head and saw Arthur. Why is this Weiss guy
everywhere?

Lorelai also noticed the young man standing next to Elliot. His aura, which was similar to Elliot’s, and
his equally handsome appearance caused her to wonder about his identity. I think I met him last time at
the wedding, too.

Arthur came to Anastasia’s side and greeted her, saying, “Hi, Anastasia.”

Anastasia nodded slightly before looking back and saying to Sophia, “Sophia, come over here and
show Young Master Weiss the way.”



Upon being called, Sophia was startled for a moment. While she was in a fluster, she met Arthur’s
gaze; he didn’t expect her to be here as well. She had no choice but to close her umbrella and come to
his side, saying, “Young Master Weiss, this way, please.”

Seeing her come over, Arthur naturally moved his umbrella to shelter her from the drizzle, causing his
shoulder to be wet by the light rain. As a result, it was hard to tell which of them was the guest of honor
here.

When Sophia realized this, she said in a whisper, “Let me hold the umbrella for you.”

However, Arthur responded with a smile. “I’ll do it.”

Sophia had no choice but to stand side by side with him.

Just then, Jacob came up to them with an umbrella. “It’s been a while, Sophia.”

“Hi, Jacob,” Sophia said, greeting him.

Arthur was very annoyed with Jacob. Suddenly, he stretched out his arm and swept Sophia into his
embrace, causing the latter’s breathing to quicken slightly. Then, he shot a warning look at Jacob.
