My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 272

In that instant, the way everyone looked at Sophia changed.

“It’s so unexpected that such a beautiful young woman is actually married to an old and ugly man!”

“That man must be quite rich!”

“Hmph! Look at girls nowadays!”

Xyla went to Sophia intimately. “Oh, so you are the daughter of Mr. Edwards. In that case, you are my younger cousin! At such an important occasion, you should bring your husband here! Where is he? Introduce him to us, quick!”

Joe didn’t seem to understand what his daughter felt about it. He just wanted to see his son-in-law, whom he had never met before.

My son-in-law must be very rich since he’s able to make Sophia a model of L/K. On top of that, she also got to wear this limited-edition evening gown! I can’t wait to meet him!

Perhaps he’ll even be helpful to my business! NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Back then, when Daniel introduced him to me, he already mentioned that that man was old and a wife- jinxer, but he was rich—incredibly rich!

After my beautiful illegitimate daughter married him, she must have been well-loved!

Perhaps after he dies, he might even give half of his assets to her! Apart from myself, Sophia doesn’t have any other relatives. So wouldn’t this mean that all the money will belong to me?

Joe’s fantasies ran wilder the more he thought about this.

Sophia merely watched their performance quietly.

Stanley immediately asked her, “Sophia, are they telling the truth? Did you really marry an old and ugly man for money?”

Sophia did not avoid the topic at all and nodded. “Yes.”

Everyone was shocked.

It’s true after all!

Suddenly, Sophia felt someone hugging her legs tightly. Nathan looked at her with a pair of wide eyes. With just an order from her, he would call his dad here to refute all their criticisms.

Sophia caressed Nathan’s head and hid him behind her dress.

Joe, this old, fat man, is not fit to have such a perfect son-in-law like my idol husband!

As soon as Joe saw Nathan, he exclaimed happily, “Oh, my! So this is my son-in-law’s son, so that makes him my grandson! Come here, good boy! Let me have a look at you!”

Seeing Nathan’s good looks and the way he was immaculately dressed, Joe guessed that this must be his son-in-law’s child.

Oh, my son-in-law must have had this son when he’s rather old, so he must spoil this little guy. On top of that, Sophia is so close to him even though she is his step-mother!

Tsk! Seems like Sophia can get more than half of his assets!

When that old guy dies, all his assets will be given to this little guy. When the time arrives, he would be orphaned, and Sophia will be widowed. So all the money will go to me! Daniel said that this guy was a wife-jinxer, and he jinxed his entire family to death!

Nathan looked at him angrily and refused to walk to him.

At this moment, Faye exclaimed shrilly, “Gosh! So you are not Nathan’s nanny, but his stepmother!”

Sophia hid Nathan behind her dress quietly and smiled to everyone. “I’m sorry. Because of my husband’s identity, it’s not convenient to introduce him to everyone.”

Faye laughed mockingly. “Don’t worry. We’re family after all. We definitely won’t be looking down on your husband because he’s old and ugly. You can just ask him to come over!”

Everyone was more confirmed that Sophia’s husband was an old man.

Just at this moment, Joe saw Daniel coming out of the washroom and called him happily, “Daniel, you’re just the person we’re looking for!”

Daniel walked over in confusion after being called out by Joe.

Joe held his hand excitedly. “Master Levine, you came just at the right time. Back then, you were the one who pulled the strings for my daughter’s marriage, right? Tell me—who is my son-in-law? Is he here today?”

Daniel suddenly felt a murderous glance on himself. After turning around, he saw a fierce glare from a pair of eyes hidden behind Sophia’s dress. Scared, he quickly replied, “Uhm… about this… haha, your son-in-law is right here! If you ask him to appear in front of you, he might do so.”

Delighted to hear that, Joe turned around to look at everyone at the banquet and yelled, “My dear son-in- law, where are you? Show yourself to me!”

Faye also added, “Dear brother-in-law, come out! We won’t complain that you are old and ugly. Just come out and meet us!”

The said son-in-law, who was hidden among the crowd, was tempted to show himself.

As long as Sophia asked for him to show up, he would definitely appear immediately.

However, after a long time, he didn’t hear Sophia call him.

Stanley also clenched his fists tightly. He was curious to see which old man had defiled his goddess.

If he dares to appear, I’ll definitely kill that old guy!

Unfortunately, no one appeared after a long time.

Sophia merely remained silent looking at the circus show in front of her, watching them yelling out loud.

Xyla told her excitedly, “Sophia, it’s wrong for you to behave as such. No matter how bad your husband might look, he is your husband after all, so he will need to meet your father. Why don’t you guys meet today?”

Sophia repeated, “I’m sorry. I really can’t tell you my husband’s identity. I will never reveal him.”

She had never thought of using Michael’s identity for her own good.

On top of that, he is too good for them!

Joe strongly believed that his son-in-law was a big deal. This girl must be planning to get all his assets alone!

What an ungrateful daughter! If it weren’t for me, could she have gotten such a nice husband? His assets are what I deserve!

Angry, his face darkened. “Sophia Edwards, you are my daughter. As your father, can’t I see my son-in- law? Do you still have any respect for me?”

Sophia smiled. The corner of her lips were slightly curved as she replied sharply, “Let me ask you—don’t you even know who my husband is? Do you still see me as your daughter?”

Joe’s small eyes actually widened as he glared at her. “I-Is this how you speak to your father?”

Sophia walked closer to him as she raised her voice. “Back then, when you sold me off to another man for 80,000, you made it clear that we were not to contact each other for the rest of our lives! Are you regretting your decision, hmm? Mr. Edwards?”

Her clear voice had reached everyone’s ears.

“What? Mr. Edwards sold his daughter off? For 80,000?”

“My God…”

“How poor was he to have sold his daughter for 80,000?”

“Damn, his daughter is so nice! He should have sold her to me! I’d pay a million for her!”

Joe’s so-called son-in-law, who was hidden among the crowd, frowned.

Damn!

80,000?

I thought the starting price was 50 million? It only got reduced to 10 million after a fierce negotiation!

Since Nate liked her, I forked out 10 million for her even though it hurt my wallet!

Joe’s expression darkened after everyone commented on his action. After the story of how he sold his daughter off for 80,000 was revealed, his face blushed red as he defended himself vehemently, “What do you mean by selling my daughter? That was just my dowry! My daughter’s dowry has to be at least

millions; what’s wrong with getting 80,000 for my youngest daughter? Sophia, you ungrateful scum! No matter what, you can’t deny that I’m your father! It’s an undeniable fact that my blood flows in you!”

Sophia retaliated, “But you already sold me off! Shall I ask Master Levine, the middle-man, to describe what happened back then?”

As soon as he heard his name, Daniel jumped forward and explained loudly, “Back then, Mr. Edwards was so poor that he asked me to introduce his daughter to one of my clients. Then, after I paid you the dowry of 80,000, we agreed not to contact ever again. You’d better not break the rules, Mr. Edwards!”

To paint it in nicer words, it was dowry, but to be blunt, it was Sophia’s price tag!
