My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 308

There was a ten-second silence among the crowd.

Amid the silence, Sophia snorted derisively. Then, she turned around and left without saying another word.

The silence was broken by Stanley’s loud guffaw, leading other students to laugh as they discussed among themselves.

“Hahahaha! This is the joke of the day!”

“Ask yourself—which part of you deserves her longing?”

“Don’t you know how much your worth is?”

“She has married well—her husband dotes on her, and she has an intelligent son. Richard, on the other hand, has tons of lovers elsewhere, and his sex tape is spread around. I wonder where his confidence came from that he thought she wanted to marry him!”

“Apart from that, Xyla is so pitiful! Tsk-tsk! I wonder how many times she has been cheated on!”

Stanley was also too lazy to be bothered with explaining. He followed after Sophia as he bent over laughing.

Looking at the few people who left, Richard’s clenched fist slowly loosened.

Sophia, is it true that how much you loved me back then equals to how much you hate me now?

The crowd slowly dispersed, but the drama just now was still lingering in their minds.

Richard continued to look at the notice board. On the left side, there was a penalty report about him. If he could not settle this incident well, he would definitely be punished, and this meant that this case would be entered into his profile. With that, it would be impossible for him to further his postgraduate studies. Even if he applied for universities overseas, with his record of facing a penalty from the most prestigious university in Cethos, he had no chances of getting into a good university.

However, on the right side of the notice board was some good news about the midterms—names of the top students were displayed there, and on the top of the School of Economics and Business Administration was Sophia’s name.

The comparison between Sophia and Richard’s name being put next to each other was certainly very mocking!

Looking at Richard, who was trembling all over, Xyla hugged him. Feeling sorry for him, she said gently, “Richard, don’t worry. Everything will pass. You are still young, so it’s normal to face some setbacks.”

After Sophia married that old man, it’s impossible for her to be together with Richard anymore. Is this why she wants to ruin his life?

She can dream on!

Don’t think that after marrying a rich and powerful old man, she could do anything she wants! She is still a nobody!

In fact, it wasn’t easy for Richard to enter Bayside University. In order to keep his position at the university, he had to put in a lot of money to settle the scandal at Bayside University this time.

Many people were already unhappy with Richard for taking over the business of the Harper Family at such a young age. After the series of scandals and mistakes he had made, his reputation in the Harper Family was steadily declining. In fact, there had been an emergency meeting in the family to strip Richard off all responsibilities he had been holding.

After Richard was fired from the office by the stakeholders, he had to return to the university. Mr. Harper was also very disappointed in him, and he asked Richard to finish his studies first before getting involved in the company any further.

Apart from that, Richard also asked Xyla to give him 10 million as the compensation fee for his losses.

With that, the entire fiasco came to an end.

During the weekend, Richard went to Bayside Prison to visit Kayla.

Kayla had worked with the international terrorist group, Phantom Wolf, to plan a terrorist attack. According to rumors, they almost killed someone from the Fletcher Family. After the trial, she was sentenced to 10 years of prison, and the Harper Family did not even dare to counter-sue. By now, she had been behind bars for a few months.

After a few months of not seeing her, Kayla seemed to have changed into a completely different person. In the past, she was a spoiled young lady of a rich family. Even the mineral drinks she took must be of high-quality, branded material. However, she had become a pale prisoner with messy hair and a lost look in her eyes.
