My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 71

Richard patted Kayla’s shoulder, asking her to leave. “Let’s go.”

Kayla stared at Sophia fiercely before she yelled, “Just wait for it—this isn’t over yet!”

With that, Kayla dashed out of the room hastily while Richard and Xyla left along with her.

Just as they reached the door, Richard suddenly turned around. He looked dearly at Sophia, who was busy tidying up her belongings. In a sincere voice, he said to her, “Sophia, it isn’t necessary for you to do such a thing. You should know that we’re to the point of no return.”

Sophia had been busy tidying her stuff that had been scattered all over the place; she did not even take a glance at him. It was only until Richard had left when she finally cussed in silence. “Are you crazy?”

On the other hand, Nathan did not utter a single word. Nonetheless, he was clearly upset with the dull-looking expression he had put on.

Sophia gently touched his head as she comforted him. “Everything’s alright now; I’m sure that they will be punished!”

Michael once told her that there were cameras everywhere in the barracks, including the female’s dorms; there would be a female instructor monitoring the situations at any given time. Therefore, they knew best about everything that happened in the barracks. Despite that, they never spread a single word about it since it was classified as a military training secret; the Fletchers were probably the only ones who knew about it.

For instance, the instructors were clearly aware of who had placed nails into Sophia’s shoes, as well as who had hidden the necklace in Sophia’s backpack.

However, everyone would not agree to installing surveillance cameras in the women’s dormitories.

Regarding the matter of Sophia stealing the necklace, everyone seemed to have guessed what had actually taken place.

It was absolutely impossible for Nathan to steal Kayla’s necklace, Sophia probably would not do so as well. After all, she was in control of the most important resource at the barracks—iced watermelon.

Even if the other companies were willing to offer her luxury watches and diamonds in exchange for her watermelon, she would not accept their offers. Thus, she would definitely not steal her necklace!

Thinking about the grudges between Sophia and the Harpers, it was not that hard to figure out what had actually happened.

Everyone was taking their own guesses, but none of them dared to point it out in public.

Nonetheless, Kayla was hoping to make an issue out of this matter in order to drive Sophia out of the barracks; she would definitely not give up easily. During their training drills at night, she had asked the drill instructor of the 23rd Company to punish Sophia regarding the necklace incident again.

As expected, the instructor refused to do so.

Kayla completely ignored Richard’s dissuasion as she went over the company commander and brought up the matter directly to the battalion commanders.

The battalion commander pretended to investigate the matter and responded to Kayla’s request. “We’ll talk about it after the military training!”

Kayla nearly went mad. She became unreasonable and went straight to the regimental commanders!

She had been causing trouble since that night until the next day; Kayla had even skipped training that morning. She continued to annoy the regimental commander in hopes that he would punish Sophia. Nonetheless the regimental commander’s answer was the same—he had asked her to wait until the military training ended.

As a result, Kayla was not able to achieve what she had wanted. Additionally, she was punished by the instructor and had to complete a 3000-meter running drill together with 200 sit-ups because she had been absent from training.

“She’s the one who stole my necklace, so why is everyone taking sides with her?”

The commanders were passing the buck for the matter Kayla had brought up to them. She was even punished for it, which put a chip on her shoulder as she started to make a scene during training.

Sophia had been caught red-handed for stealing her necklace, but why wasn’t anyone punishing her? On the contrary, she ended up being the one getting punished instead!

The morning session of military training was taking place at that moment. Everyone underwent training obediently except for Kayla, who kept yelling and crying at the instructor. “I’m not convinced! She was the one who had stolen the necklace, so why have you punished me?”
