Chapter 762
Since Sophia was also invited, Arthur brought her to a dress shop to pick out a gown.
After personally selecting a dress, he had his lady try it out and it fit unexpectedly well. Thanks to the pearls and diamond, it was a very flashy dress and she looked like a princess after matching it with her fair skin.
Although Sophia had not dressed so formally or even wore high heels in a long time, her figure that had been trained through dancing still stood out very much in the dress. With a well defined collarbone and shoulder lines, her fair skin and clear gaze made her look like a goddess.
Arthur, who was flipping through the magazine, could not take his eyes off her the moment he looked up.
On the other hand, Sophia pursed her lips embarrassingly as she turned away, not daring to face his passionate gaze.
“We‘ll take this dress!”
The owner then stepped up and smiled before explaining, “Sir, I‘m not sure if you are aware of this, but due to the brand of the dress, it is only available for sales and not for rental as this dress belongs to one of our exclusive collections. However, we can rent out the jewelry and heels that Miss Goodwin is currently wearing.”
“How much does the dress cost?” Sophia asked out of curiosity while having a feeling that it must fetch a pretty penny.
“This dress is a piece from the top designer, Oleh. It costs eight million.”
Suddenly, the light and airy dress immediately weighed a ton, making Sophia feel a shortness of breath.Eightmillionforadress?No,thanks.
“We‘ll pay by credit card! Including the jewelry and shoes too. I don‘t like the word ‘rent‘” Arthur took out his black card.
Sophia was stunned.Wait,what?He‘sgoingtobuythis?
“Artie, how about we discuss this for a bit before coming to a decision?” She walked over and asked gently.
Smiling, he replied, “No need for that. I like this look on you very much.”
She closed in and whispered, “Isn‘t your bank account frozen? I don‘t want you spending this much money.”
Not being able to explain all this, Arthur did have his cards frozen, but his income did not depend solely on the family as he did some trading since he was bored lately with the money he borrowed from loan sharks.DoesshethinkIamapoor man iustbecauseof this?
He patted her reassuringly. “It‘s fine. Eight million is just a number; I could even give up my life for you.”
Exiting the shop, Sophia found a black colored Bugatti parked in front as she blinked her eyes in confusion.Wheredidheconjurethisoutfrom?
A man then walked over and handed the keys over to Arthur. “Mr. Arnold, I hope you have a lovely evening.”
“Where did this car come from?”
“I just bought it.”
Sophia looked at him in shock. Naturally, this car was notjustbought as he had specially imported this from abroad; it had been his possession all along.
On the way to the banquet, she felt like she was eloping with a rich young master for she felt both nervous and expectant as to what they might do tonight.

Arriving, Arthur alighted from his new car and opened the door for her before reaching his other hand out to Sophia. She naturally accepted the gesture and they both walked to the main hall.
Under the bright lights, the dashing couple instantly attracted everyone‘s attention as they whispered among themselves how dashingly good–looking the couple was!
In the venue, Elliot was chatting with the guests when he saw Arthur arrive, so he excused himself and went to welcome him.
“Artie.”
“Elliot.” Arthur walked over and they bumped fist, which was their unique way to greet each other.
Following that, Arthur then introduced the woman standing beside him. “Let me introduce you to my girlfriend, Sophia.”
