Joe and Faye looked at each other and seemed to have the same thoughts. Then, Joe said, “I have to discuss this with the company. But don’t you worry; I will give you a satisfactory answer.”
Joe promised to give a reply to Sophia as soon as possible and hurriedly sent her to the gates of The Imperial. Sophia then murmured, “The old man was very dissatisfied last time when you came to our house to make trouble, so you shouldn’t come in this time.”
Upon hearing that, Joe hurriedly agreed, “Alright, alright.”
Under the gazes of the Edwards Family and the Johnson Family, the security guard at the gate of the residential area respectfully opened the door for Sophia and let her in. Joe looked at The Imperial in all its magnificence with a longing expression…
Sophia wasn’t Joe’s only illegitimate daughter. However, Mrs. Edwards would agree to almost anything as long as she did not threaten the status of herself and her daughter. However, she would never let her take shares and inherit property of their family!
On the other hand, Joe also had his own opinion. That day, Faye saw that Sophia bought a wedding dress worth tens of millions and also wore a diamond ring worth the same amount of money. They were all genuine for sure. It was evident that the old man was filthy rich!
Now, they must help Sophia gain a foothold in that house so that they would have an easy time snatching away the old man’s wealth in the future! This 5% share was nothing compared to the old man’s enormous wealth! It would all be worth it in the end!
The next day, Joe informed Sophia to sign and go through the formalities. After the paternity test was completed, Joe quickly went to the notary office for notarization, legally confirming the relationship between father and daughter.
Legally speaking, one’s parents, spouse and children were the first in line to inherit one’s wealth. When the old man died, Sophia and the child would inherit the old man’s enormous wealth and when Sophia is dead, Joe would be the first in line to inherit her wealth!
Afterward, Joe signed a transfer of 5% of Edwards Group’s shares to Sophia. Upon completing the formalities, Joe immediately began to send invitations out, inviting the powerful figures of Bayside City to attend his reunion banquet. Then, Sophia and Joe discussed the details of their reunion banquet.
“This reunion banquet must be held in a grand manner!” Sophia said as a matter of fact.
“Of course,” Joe agreed.
Faye was watching the duo, jealousy written on her face as she raised her eyebrows and questioned, “Has your husband come back from White Mountain? Will he be here to attend your reunion banquet?” The point of the reunion banquet was to trick the old man!
“Of course my husband will come,” Sophia replied. “Otherwise, why would I ask for the banquet to be so grand? If the reunion banquet is not grand, how would others know that I have a high status in my family and how can my husband treat me even better? How can I intimidate his mistresses?”
Joe nodded hurriedly in agreement. As long as the old man appeared, Joe could make him go bankrupt easily!
The invitations were sent out quickly and before long, Stanley, Sean, and Linus all received their invitations. The Mitchell Family and Natasha also received invitations. Natasha also learned from Faye that Sophia’s rich husband would appear at the reunion banquet. How could Sophia, an assistant who cleaned toilets, possibly have a rich husband? She must have borrowed her outfits from Eddie as well! That b*tch Eddie… I wonder if she will show up for the reunion banquet. After all, Sophia is her lackey!
Meanwhile, the Harpers and the Huffs also received invitations… The reunion banquet was around the corner and the Johnson Family still stayed at the Edwards Family’s house. After the banquet, they wanted to ask Joe to give them money and a house.
