My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 169

Sophia felt extremely embarrassed. I only wanted to show up as a silent yet high quality counterfeit. However, the fact that I am wearing a ring worth 70,000,000 has been exposed. Does it mean that all the future cards in my hand have now been revealed?

After weighing her options, she answered wittily, “Thank you, my Lord, for responding to my invitation today. The evening gown and ring that you have lent me are of the right sizes. After tonight’s banquet, I will return them to you once I have sent them for dry-cleaning. As for the gem that was maliciously crushed by someone, I’ll also find a way to return it to you.”

Everybody realized with a start after hearing her say those words. It turns out that Taylor was the one who lent Sophia’s outfit to her tonight.

No wonder everything looks so expensive!

Does that mean that all three idols are only here at the Harper Family’s banquet for Sophia’s sake?

Did she deliberately schedule her meal with the three idols today to humiliate the Harpers?

That’s truly humiliating and she even did it publicly. Furthermore, the masses were eager to learn more about how she was able to invite those three idols, considering that it was almost impossible to invite them and for them to show up simultaneously under normal circumstances. Hence, it was a once in a lifetime opportunity for the crowd to meet all three of them.

Although her dress and ring are borrowed, they are all from our idol!

Ah, I must have done something right in my past life if my idol lends me a dress and a ring!

Upon facing Sophia’s quick-witted reply, Michael did not expose her lies and instead replied to her tenderly, “I was planning to rent it to the museum. The rent would have been at least 1,000,000 per year.”

She blushed deeply because she did not expect him to catch her secretly pocketing money.

Nevertheless, he seemed unfazed by such a small sum of money, so she acknowledged by maintaining her silence and kept her head bowed without further comments.

After that, he reached out to her like a gentleman. “Let’s enter together.”

She hooked an arm around his to hold onto him, looking especially embarrassed under the scrutiny of countless women’s jealous and resentful gazes. “Sure, I just arrived not too long ago.”

She was clearly caught when she was trying to escape.

Michael held onto Sophia as they marched down the red carpet and made their way into the Harper Family’s banquet hall. Somehow, they looked as if they were shining brightly, especially when they were enveloped by the radiant glow of being everyone’s idol. That made them shine bright like a diamond.

Initially, Joel had planned to leave with Sophia, but now that he bumped into Michael, there was no way to leave. I should be the one standing beside Sophia right now, but I certainly did not expect Harry to cross the line and usurp my position.

With that, she had her left arm on the graceful and elegant Taylor while her right arm held onto the aggressive Ethan. Joel and Stanley guarded her closely while she held onto an adorable little boy. It was a star-studded group, which made it look like everyone doted on Sophia.

Both genders were jealous and resentful upon witnessing this—and they wanted nothing more than to be in her shoes. How is she able to be so happy? Forget that her new boyfriend looks more handsome than Richard and she even gets to have a meal with those three idols!

Today, the Harper Family’s banquet had received lots of attention due to the presence of the three idols. However, the crowd could only observe from afar—despite the three idols present among them.

The banquet would officially start at 8PM, which was to allow everyone to have free time and chat with each other. Several people sat on a large couch in the banquet hall at the moment.

Sophia was seated in the middle, shining radiantly like a beautiful moon. Her breathtaking facial features were illuminated by the moonlight, no doubt making her the most dazzling women among the female guests. However, her whole body was tense at the moment. She sat with her back straightened and her hands were on her knees while she maintained a dignified and demure expression.
