In that instant, the way everyone looked at Sophia changed.
“It’s so unexpected that such a beautiful young woman is actually married to an old and ugly man!”
“That man must be quite rich!”
“Hmph! Look at girls nowadays!”
Joe didn’t seem to understand what his daughter felt about it. He just wanted to see his son-in-law, whom he had never met before.
My son-in-law must be very rich since he’s able to make Sophia a model of L/K. On top of that, she also got to wear this limited-edition evening gown! I can’t wait to meet him!
Perhaps he’ll even be helpful to my business!
Back then, when Daniel introduced him to me, he already mentioned that that man was old and a wife-jinxer, but he was rich—incredibly rich!
After my beautiful illegitimate daughter married him, she must have been well-loved!
Perhaps after he dies, he might even give half of his assets to her! Apart from myself, Sophia doesn’t have any other relatives. So wouldn’t this mean that all the money will belong to me?
Joe’s fantasies ran wilder the more he thought about this.
Sophia merely watched their performance quietly.
Stanley immediately asked her, “Sophia, are they telling the truth? Did you really marry an old and ugly man for money?”
Sophia did not avoid the topic at all and nodded. “Yes.”
Everyone was shocked.
It’s true after all!
Suddenly, Sophia felt someone hugging her legs tightly. Nathan looked at her with a pair of wide eyes. With just an order from her, he would call his dad here to refute all their criticisms.
Sophia caressed Nathan’s head and hid him behind her dress.
Joe, this old, fat man, is not fit to have such a perfect son-in-law like my idol husband!
As soon as Joe saw Nathan, he exclaimed happily, “Oh, my! So this is my son-in-law’s son, so that makes him my grandson! Come here, good boy! Let me have a look at you!”
Seeing Nathan’s good looks and the way he was immaculately dressed, Joe guessed that this must be his son-in-law’s child.
Oh, my son-in-law must have had this son when he’s rather old, so he must spoil this little guy. On top of that, Sophia is so close to him even though she is his step-mother!
Tsk! Seems like Sophia can get more than half of his assets!
When that old guy dies, all his assets will be given to this little guy. When the time arrives, he would be orphaned, and Sophia will be widowed. So all the money will go to me! Daniel said that this guy was a wife-jinxer, and he jinxed his entire family to death!
Nathan looked at him angrily and refused to walk to him.
At this moment, Faye exclaimed shrilly, “Gosh! So you are not Nathan’s nanny, but his stepmother!”
Sophia hid Nathan behind her dress quietly and smiled to everyone. “I’m sorry. Because of my husband’s identity, it’s not convenient to introduce him to everyone.”
Faye laughed mockingly. “Don’t worry. We’re family after all. We definitely won’t be looking down on your husband because he’s old and ugly. You can just ask him to come over!”
Everyone was more confirmed that Sophia’s husband was an old man.
Just at this moment, Joe saw Daniel coming out of the washroom and called him happily, “Daniel, you’re just the person we’re looking for!”
Daniel walked over in confusion after being called out by Joe.
Joe held his hand excitedly. “Master Levine, you came just at the right time. Back then, you were the one who pulled the strings for my daughter’s marriage, right? Tell me—who is my son-in-law? Is he here today?”
Daniel suddenly felt a murderous glance on himself. After turning around, he saw a fierce glare from a pair of eyes hidden behind Sophia’s dress. Scared, he quickly replied, “Uhm… about this… haha, your son-in-law is right here! If you ask him to appear in front of you, he might do so.”
