My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 273

Joe didn’t expect that Daniel would side Sophia, so he continued defending himself. “What do you mean by selling my daughter? She’s not some commodity to be sold! I remember that I asked you to introduce a suitable partner for my daughter to marry! You told me that you would find a good family for her; I didn’t expect that you sold her off!”

Wow!

He is trying to slander me now!

Even so, Daniel was not angry at him. “Mr. Edwards, stop denying the fact that you sold your daughter off. Your son-in-law is actually here. Tsk-tsk, by the way, his wealth is on par with a nation.”

My son-in-law is as rich as a country!

He did not have other relatives; he only had a son. On top of that, he doted on Sophia very much. In Joe’s eyes, the fact that his son-in-law’s wealth was on par with a nation was like a bottomless treasure pit for him.

Daniel deliberately pretended to be looking up to him, and he gave some good comments about Michael. “Although he’s old and ugly, your son-in-law is really rich. Joe, you’d better suck up to your daughter. Now, anything that she simply brings out from the house is enough for your lifetime expenditure. You’d better not ruin your relationship with her!”

Joe became greedier upon hearing that and changed his attitude entirely. He quickly asked Daniel obsequiously, “Who on earth is my son-in-law? Master Levine, please enlighten me.”

Daniel deliberately looked at the first floor of the venue, especially at the top-grade social circle.

Joe was delighted beyond belief upon seeing that.

My son-in-law is someone with an impressive background! I bet he’s either the CEO of a large company or the founder of the real estate business!

Unfortunately, Daniel refused to let him know. “I’m sorry. When you sold your daughter, we signed a contract. One of the terms was to cut off ties completely. Your daughter’s personal wealth and life has nothing to do with you, and based on the contract, your question goes against the terms and conditions.”

In the face of massive wealth, Joe did not care about the contract anymore. He merely wanted to know who his son-in-law was.

He put on a fake appearance as he said, “Oh, Master Levine, there’s something you don’t know—this daughter of mine had always been moving around on her own. Two years ago, after I married her off, I regretted it very much. I regret the fact that I’d not done a good job of being a father. Now that both of us have finally reunited, I will definitely be a good father to make up to her for all the sins I’ve done in the past. Right now, I just want to know who my son-in-law is. I want to ask him if he has been treating my daughter well all this while.”

“Ha!”

Right after he finished his sentence, Sophia snorted mockingly and said loudly, “Father, if you want to know if I’m doing well or not, you can directly ask me.”

Joe looked stern, completely treating Sophia as if she was a lost belonging that he had just found.

“Don’t interrupt when adults are talking.”

He did not care at all if Sophia was doing well or not; all he cared about was how much his son-in-law was worth, when he would die, and how much he, the father-in-law, would get after that.

It’s fine if Sophia refuses to tell me, as long as Daniel spills the beans.

Seeing that Daniel still refused to tell the truth, Joe played the pity card. “Master Levine, I only have two daughters in my entire life. My eldest daughter, Faye, is always by my side. My youngest daughter, Sophia, is also very important to me. I just want to know if my son-in-law has been treating her well; that’s all.”

Daniel still refused to tell him the truth. If he really did so, the entire Edwards Family would definitely cling onto Michael. Hence, he replied arduously, “Mr. Edwards, I am someone who goes by the rules strictly. I will never break any contract I’ve made.”

Joe replied earnestly, “Come on! Is the contract more important than family? Isn’t it just a contract? How much does the penalty cost? I’ll pay it! Compared to my daughter’s happiness, any amount of money is nothing! I’m just worried that she’d be bullied by her in-laws. The reason for meeting him today is just to tell him that I’m still alive, in case he mistreats my daughter in the future, thinking that she’s all alone by herself.”

However, Daniel still refused to tell him and walked away. Joe could not stop him and continued asking Sophia, who would not reveal anything to him.

They definitely don’t let things go easily.

An idea suddenly occurred to Xyla, who spoke gently to Nathan, “Nate, is your dad here today? Grandpa wants to see him! Ask him to come here now!”

Nathan revealed his eyes from behind Sophia’s dress as he looked at the group of adults fearfully. Joe quickly inched his chubby cheeks close to him.

“My good grandson, where is your daddy? Can you show me to him?”
