My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 279

Sophia knew it was Faye once she heard her voice.

Clack, clack, clack…

Faye’s high heels clicked against the floor loudly while she made her way slowly to Sophia’s front. She burst into laughter while crossing her arms. She spoke to Sophia pretentiously, “Sophia, stop pretending. My father personally sent you off when you got married previously.

How could he not know what his son-in-law looks like? I know my brother-in-law might be slightly older and uglier, but he is your man after all. He is the man you go to bed with, and he’ll be the father of your children! Although he is slightly ugly and disabled, you are so pretty, so I am sure your children will turn out better than expected!”

Was it truly for money?!

Sophia couldn’t be bothered to answer Faye, and so she put on her earphones. Then, she started revising her notes.

It was rare for Faye to have a chance to tease Sophia, and so she couldn’t possibly let the chance slide. Faye’s remarks were becoming harsher. “Sophia, in all honesty, my dad was against your being with my brother-in-law. He is so ugly and stingy; he was only willing to pay 80,000 as dowry.

However, you just got here from the village, Sophia, and you hadn’t seen the real world; that was most probably why you were so adamant on marrying that old man. That was why dad had no choice but to go along with your wishes. Now that you are living so happily with that old man, I am extremely happy for you.”

Her classmates were stunned to silence when they heard that.

I can’t believe she married that old man willingly. How desperate was she?

Faye added, “I know that you had two abortions during senior high due to your immaturity. Therefore, your body is no longer suited for giving birth. You know that any respectable man would never marry you; that was the reason you chose your current husband.

Sigh, it was our fault. You wouldn’t have made so many foolish mistakes if we had taken you in earlier. My poor sister, you must have suffered beyond imagination over the years.”

Sophia’s classmates started whispering at each other while shooting pointed looks at Sophia.

Nevertheless, Sophia was the only one who pretended as if she did not hear anything. She read through her notebook seriously, while her earphones played a song. It was an opera sung by Michael.

It turned out that Michael had already shown exceptional talents in performing arts ever since he was in high school, and he even debuted with a band. Later, he joined the army for a few years once he turned 18 years old. After leaving the army, he started his studies. He had been acting in movies for the past few years, and so he rarely sang again.

It was undeniable that Michael could sing very well. His voice was beautiful and sonorous, with a steady quality to it that made the song heartfelt.

She was enthralled by Michael’s voice when Faye yanked her earphones off suddenly. She screamed at Sophia angrily, “Sophia Edwards, were you listening to me?”

Sophia looked up in a daze. “Was someone speaking?”

I only saw a dog barking.

Faye’s expression contorted in fury; even her chin implant was visible now. She knocked against the table while demanding, “Dad requested me to inform you that there’s an Edwards Family banquet tonight. You have to attend the banquet with your husband.”

Sophie rejected her immediately. “Excuse me, but I am not a true Edwards, nor is my husband’s surname Edwards. Therefore, we will not be attending the Edwards Family banquet.”

“How dare you!” Faye slammed on the table. She threatened Sophia, “My dad is having this family banquet specifically for you and brother-in-law, and so you have to attend! You are a member of the Edwards Family. Even if you are married, you are still my dad’s daughter. You are not filial if you don’t show up!”

Joe deliberately organized a family banquet for Sophia and her husband. He was obviously not interested nor sincere in wanting to acknowledge Sophia as his daughter; instead, he merely wanted her assets. Hence, not only did he want to lure Sophia’s husband out, he wanted to announce to the world that Sophia was his daughter.

When my old son-in-law drops dead, I can justify taking in both Sophia and his son. With that, I’ll conveniently take over their inheritance too.

After all, Daniel’s client can’t be poor!
