Sophia chuckled while playing the game together with Nate and hadn’t noticed that it was already midnight when Hale phoned her. “Madam, Boss has instructed that the lights would be switched off if you two don’t go to bed by 12AM. Beep—”
The lights immediately went off in the room with the Internet being disconnected as well. She was suddenly plunged into darkness while she was in the midst of setting up the tasks in the game.
Nathan, who was staring at the laptop screen, was shocked by the sudden darkness and threw himself into her arms on instinct. “Mom…”
She hugged him tightly. “Darling, don’t be afraid. I’m here! Don’t worry, Hale merely switched the electricity off and disconnected the internet. It’s late, let’s go to bed earlier.”
“Hale, ask Audistin to inform the Harper Family that their membership will be restored if they are willing to pay more.”
Hale was always efficient and speedy in completing any given tasks. Hence, he immediately informed Audistin.
The next day, Richard visited Audistin again.
They really couldn’t wait any longer because the consequences of offending Audistin was unimaginable. Only a few days had passed, but the Harper Family was already the laughing stock of the upper-class society.
It felt as if the entire family had been excluded from the society’s social circle. Every family member of the Harper Family felt the impact and repercussions of this incident.
That was especially true after Xyla’s cocktail party last night. A group of wealthy kids had made an appointment to hang out at Audistin and everyone went ahead with the plan, but those from the Harpers were left out.
Looking at the rest of the group leaving without inviting them, the Harpers didn’t dare to make a sound because the whole situation was beyond embarrassing.
Hence, Richard brought along a gift to meet Mr. Wesley in Audistin.
Unlike the past where he would avoid meeting Richard, Mr. Wesley immediately agreed to meet him.
In Audistin’s café, there were two cups of freshly ground Americano on the coffee table. The coffee was steaming hot—the direction of its vapors was disturbed by the conversation between the two men.
“50,000,000?!”
Richard stared in disbelief at Mr. Wesley.
I just want to get the Harper Family’s membership back. Why is it so expensive now? 50,000,000 is an enormous amount of investment for us!
He looked upset. “Wesley, isn’t 50,000,000… too expensive?”
Mr. Wesley shook his head. “No, it’s not. It is not expensive at all. It’s not costly, seeing that 50,000,000 represents the dignity of both Audistin and the Harper Family.” It’s true! It’s not expensive at all!
Kayla Harper was the one who caused trouble at Audistin. She was the one who announced openly that she was relinquishing the Harper Family’s membership in Audistin.
The last person who did this completely vanished from Bayside City together with their family. Requesting 50,000,000 from the Harper Family proves that Audistin truly never intended to humiliate them in the first place.
However, Richard just couldn’t figure it out. What is happening here? It feels as if someone is targeting the Harper Family in the dark. First, Kayla received a lawsuit against her for some reason and now, she has been kicked out of Audistin.
We have investigated this for a very long time, but we are unable to find out who did all this. Although Sophia was involved in both incidents, she obviously plays a minor role in the grand scheme of things.
We just can’t find out who is supporting her. The information gathered after our investigation shows that Sophia Edwards is a common student without any impressive background who enrolled in Bayside University with her outstanding exam results.
He took a sip of coffee and took half an hour to mull over the proposal, during which he made several phone calls while Mr. Wesley waited for him to decide.
