My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 8

After Sophia was chased out from her school, her phone crashed to the ground and broke. Since then, she never had the opportunity to buy a phone, and she had never used the number ever since.

He found some mutual classmates of his and Sophia’s, but none of them had her number. After all, she had very few high school friends to begin with.

Since she left Riverdale High School, no one knew what she had been up to and where she went. If she hadn’t suddenly appeared in front of everyone a year later, no one would have remembered her.

After Richard put down his phone, he remained silent while Xyla tugged on him anxiously. “Richard, stop calling her. She won’t pick up! She is determined to let Kayla be her scapegoat. I’ve never expected that she would be so malicious!

After having a promiscuous life that led to her getting pregnant, she even planned to slander Kayla to prove her innocence. We can’t let her get her way, Richard!”

Kayla chimed in anxiously, “Richard, are you still infatuated with that b*tch? She is now slandering me, yet you are still stubbornly doing nothing? Do you even regard me as your sister?”

Richard finally put down all his excuses for defending her as there were no other possibilities. The only explanation to this was that Sophia really wanted to use Kayla as her scapegoat.

After all, she had finally entered Bayside University, so she needed her reputation to be recovered as soon as possible. Otherwise, she could be expelled. Since she had gone through great lengths to enrol into Bayside University, she would not leave easily.

Richard’s face darkened as he contacted another lawyer to make preparations for the upcoming lawsuit.

It was not an abrupt decision when Sophia mentioned that she was going to sue them. In fact, she must have planned it out a long time ago since the moment she received the letter of acceptance from Bayside University.

The court session started after the new academic semester had begun. The plaintiff, the defendant, the attorneys, the witnesses, the jury, and the judge had arrived, with rows of students from Bayside University in the audience. Sophia even invited the principal and the alumni from her high school. In addition to that, some parents also joined the court session, so the seats were packed with people.

As this case involved the Harper Family, many of their family members were here as well. As the plaintiffs, Richard, Kayla, and their mother, Mrs. Harper, had to be present as well.

On the defendant’s side, Dr. Clayton, the doctor of Riverdale High School, was standing fearfully as he looked at the inquisitive glances of the crowd. He had no idea where to place his gaze, knowing that he could not get away from his offences no matter how everything would turn out today.

Initially, he also wanted to hire an attorney to defend himself, but as soon as the lawyers heard that they would be going against Calvin Fields, they immediately gave up.

Although Mr. Fields was young, he was an invincible presence in the legal field.

Sitting in the seats of the defendant was Sophia, who was finally not wearing an ostentatious crop top that showed off her slender waist and belly button. The fitting shirt that she wore had perfectly depicted her voluptuous figure, with her fair skin complementing her prominent facial features, making her look healthy and pretty. When she was broke, she had been through many hardships, and she looked skinny and tanned. Finally, she had the ability to doll herself up after she had become rich. After she changed from her worn-out school uniform into a set of branded clothes, her assertive side immediately showed itself. She looked like she had completely changed into a different person.

After experiencing a hellish journey that was almost like a rebirth, her body and soul had gone through tremendous change. She was no longer the old Sophia anymore.

She had an indifferent look as she sat still in the plaintiff’s seat, making one unable to make out her emotions. Looking at her from afar, Richard felt that his heart seemed to be gently tugged by a string.

Mrs. Harper had never imagined that they would be involved in such a lawsuit, and that her own daughter, Kayla, would be the one being sued. She immediately cursed in front of Richard, “I knew this little b*tch was up to no good! She seduced my son because she wants our family fortune!”

Such a lowly woman must be in it for our money to be involved with my son!
