My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 271

Under the harmonious atmosphere, the charity banquet finally began, and the auction started.

Ethan felt helpless and desperate for being forced by Michael to hold this charity auction dinner.

But since he had organized it, he had to at least auction off a few items, even if it was done half-heartedly.

The first item was his personal watch, which was custom-made by a manufacturer a few years ago. The moment the auction of this item began, everyone competed to get it.

Then, a few items were auctioned off one by one, for instance, a gaming keyboard that he no longer used, his outfit that he wore when he won the Oscars Best Actor Award, the collar of a dog that went bold due to Michael’s jinx, and also the alarm clock that he resented for waking him up every day. All the miscellaneous items were auctioned off, as if he was selling scrap.

As long as it was something that he had used before—even if it was his underwear—there would be someone scrambling for it.

The auction went smoothly. The moment an item was opened for auction, it would be purchased with high price by some rich guest almost instantly.

Michael even wrote an impromptu piece of calligraphy to serve as an auction item today.

This was the first time Michael showed his skills of writing calligraphy. When the sharp and well-defined calligraphy piece was exposed in front of the public, everyone was astonished.

His calligraphy skills were unexpectedly great!

 

In the end, the calligraphy was auctioned off with the price of 1 million.

After the auction ended, the banquet began. Sophia held Nathan’s little hand and randomly found a seat.

 

The charity banquet tonight had managed to raise a large amount of funds, and all of it would be donated to programs under the Hope Educational Fund.

The banquet finally began. Stanley shamelessly insisted on sitting next to Sophia and kept putting food onto her plate. Joel couldn’t bear to continue watching and again reminded him, “Stanley, behave yourself!”

He’s like the reincarnation of a perverted ghost!

Nathan glared furiously at Stanley, attempting to stop him from getting closer to Sophia.

Meanwhile, Faye was excitedly heading to the direction of Xyla and Richard, as if she had just received great news. “Xyla, is it true that Sophia was born in the outskirts of Riverdale?”

Puzzled, Richard answered, “Yes. What’s up?”

Richard knew about Sophia’s background. She was born to a family named Edwards in the outskirts of Riverdale. Her family were farmers, and she had lost her parents since young. She was destitute.

But why would Faye ask this question now?

Faye uttered delightfully, “I just heard this from my father. Twenty years ago, when my mother was pregnant with me, a nanny at our house figured out a way to get pregnant with my father’s child in an attempt to blackmail him, but she was then driven away by my mother. After the woman returned to her hometown, she passed away after giving birth to a daughter, and the daughter was Sophia Edwards!”

Richard and Xyla were stunned. They had never expected that Sophia was Joe’s illegitimate daughter, which would make her Faye’s sister.

However, Faye then unexpectedly told them another piece of shocking news. “After the wild chick was driven out of Riverdale High School, she found her way to my house. My father then had her marry an ugly, disabled old man! And Daniel Levine was the middle man!”

This is really shocking news!
