My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 583

Now, everyone knew that his wife’s naked body had been seen by other people. Moreover, she would be performing in an R-rated film; the released cast posters of the film showed her being almost nude.

He took a mouthful of wine in bitterness as his wife’s promiscuity made him restless and uneasy. When he put down his wine glass and looked up, he saw Sophia standing dazzlingly among the crowd like a goddess.

The high-tech home renovation inside Linus’ house was nothing short of amazing; what particularly evoked words of amazement were the glass windows that could be remotely connected to the entire world, and the 3D holographic projection that looked so lifelike to the point of making one’s skin crawl. Gasps of admiration could be heard among the crowd every time the fairies flew out of their palace.

At this moment, another special effect flashed across the screen. The face of the devastatingly beautiful fairy that flashed across the screen looked strikingly similar to Sophia.

Both of them had been stripped naked before, yet nobody dared to laugh at Sophia, who commanded admiration by gritting her teeth and pulling through. On the contrary, Xyla chose to abandon herself to vice and be a cheap sl*t!

Why did I betray Sophia for the sake of Xyla-the-wh*re back then?

She was clearly so good and excellent; with her promising future, she would achieve what she had achieved this day sooner or later. Had he stood firm by her side and believed her unconditionally back when she was set up by somebody else, would he have become the fabulous man who inspired envy by standing next to her?

With that thought in mind, he took another mouthful of wine bitterly.

It was all Xyla’s fault. He had always loved Sophia unwaveringly, but that b*tch deliberately and ceaselessly seduced him out of her lust for power and wealth. Hell-bent on becoming the Young Mistress of the Harper Family, she revealed her true colors now that she had the power and social standing she had wanted.

She’s such a wh*re and a filthy b*tch! thought Richard to himself.

Mrs. Harper was also here on this day. Wanting to approach Sophia, she kept circling around her, but she couldn’t get close to Sophia since there were too many people around her.

She looked Sophia up and down with great satisfaction.

Only such a woman was qualified to marry into the Harper Family and be her son’s wife. Compared to Xyla-the-sl*t, Sophia was really a perfect candidate for a daughter-in-law.

Hastily seizing the opportunity, she said to Richard, “You must hurry up and find a way to banish that sl*t from our family and marry Sophia instead!”

Richard shook his head with a bitter laugh. “That isn’t possible anymore, Mom. She must hate me to the bones.”

Unwilling to believe her son’s words, Mrs. Harper spoke, “You silly kid, what did I tell you before? The deeper one’s love for somebody is, the deeper their hatred will be when the love turns sour. She hates you right now exactly because she loves you!”

Richard no longer wanted to find out whether Sophia loved or hated him, though. “She’s Taylor Murray’s woman now…”

Looking shrewd, as if she had deep insight into human nature, Mrs. Harper reminded him, “You don’t understand—Taylor Murray must be inwardly unable to get over the fact that she was molested when she was a child, so he’ll divorce her sooner or later. Moreover, isn’t it completely normal for celebrities to get married and divorced? The way I see it, they’ll get divorced within two years, so you must seize the opportunity! Rest assured, for I surely won’t frown on her, and she will certainly be willing to make it up with you. You should let her know this and tell her to divorce Taylor as soon as possible to marry you.”

This time, however, Mrs. Harper’s baloney didn’t work on Richard anymore.

He had thought that he would always have a place in Sophia’s heart no matter how contemptibly foolish he was. Even though she married someone else and had often set herself against him, he had still believed that she must still have feelings for him.

Only now did he realize that the only feeling she had for him was hatred.

She spared his life just because she wanted to see him putting up a last-ditch struggle.

Xyla now possessed 15 percent of the Harper Group’s shares. Moreover, she kept increasing her shares in the Harper Group by buying individual shares and sleeping with several directors and major shareholders. After joining the board of directors, she took control of shareholder meetings and was encroaching on the Harper Family’s business.
