Chapter 33
Just when Sophia was about to say something, Richard subconsciously called out quietly, “Sophia…” He looked at her intently. “You know how important the membership of Audistin is to me, right?” he asked seriously.
She definitely will be taking this advantage to take her revenge on me for dating Xyla! Nevertheless, Sophia must still be deeply in love with me, and going against the Harper Family was merely an attempt to attract my attention. Since she knew the importance of Audistin to the Harper Family, she certainly wouldn’t be so cruel.
Under the impression that Sophia was still in love with her brother, Kayla threatened her viciously, “Just say it. Just tell the truth. Don’t you dare spew any nonsense; otherwise, my brother could tell with just a glance!
Mrs. Harper cast a threatening glance at her, warning her with her eyes that if she talked nonsense, she would make sure that her son wouldn’t see her again.
Xyla, on the other hand, bit on her lower lips and uttered pitifully, “Sophia, it was all my fault. Don’t make things even more difficult for Richard and Mrs. Harper on this matter.”
Sophia looked at everyone, including the Harper Family and Xyla’s expressions, before turning to Daniel and adamantly said, “It was the Harper Family who caused trouble here in the first place, and it was also the Harper Family who requested to cancel their membership. Wesley did nothing wrong. Master Levine, you mustn’t fire Wesley because of this incident.”
Mr. Wesley was nearly moved to tears. The lady boss is such a kind person!
The Harper Family didn’t expect that Sophia would tell a barefaced lie. Mrs. Harper lashed out on the spot. “You b*tch! What the heck are you talking about? Shut up!” She then turned to Daniel. “Master
Levine, this person is holding a grudge against the Harper Family, so you shouldn’t believe anything she says!”
Richard anxiously chimed in as well, “Miss Edwards here is my ex-girlfriend. We broke up for certain reasons, so she’s holding a grudge against me. You shouldn’t believe anything she says!”
Daniel nodded, as if he believed in what the Harper Family had just said, before turning to Sophia and asked, “Since you are one of the people involved in this incident, how do you think we should handle this?”
“Let’s just go according to Audistin’s rules—drive away those who seek trouble here!” As she was speaking, her eyes were cold and expressionless.
Daniel nodded and instructed Mr. Wesley, “Just have someone to drive away those who seek trouble here.”
The Harper Family was dumbfounded, suspecting that they were hearing things.
Drive us away? Audistin really could bear to drive important customers like us away?
After he received Daniel’s instructions, Mr. Wesley led seven or eight buff men and surrounded the Harper Family. In a friendly tone, he uttered, “This way, please.”
He did a respectful gesture to invite them to leave. Upon seeing the few buff men surrounding them and also the intense eyes of the onlookers who were watching the commotion, Richard knew that they would only further humiliate themselves if they stayed there, so in the end, he dragged his family members and Xyla away.
Mrs. Harper was reluctant to leave. “Why are we leaving? It’s the b*tch who is supposed to leave!”
With a gloomy face, Richard dragged her out.
The Harper Family left with their tails between their legs. Not only they had failed to regain their memberships, they even lost face. It was beyond embarrassing.
After the Harper Family had left, the commotion finally ended, and everyone dispersed in groups of two or three.
Upon seeing that everyone had left, Daniel took two steps forward and spoke to Sophia, “Mrs. Fletcher…”
“Hmph!” Sophia arrogantly let out a cold snort, turned away, and left. She had no intention of talking to him.
It was probably because she still hadn’t let the incident about her value pass. Michael spent 10 million on her, and Daniel earned 9.2 million, but he refused to give her a share of the cake. The more she thought about it, the more unbearable she felt!
Seeing that she kept ignoring him, Daniel returned to his recreational teahouse.
Harry had intended to spend his whole day here, and Michael was still running on the treadmill though he was sweating profusely. While he was running, he kept watching the security recordings at the lobby of the gym until Sophia’s figure disappeared hurriedly at the door.
This little wife of mine is avoiding me, as if I’m a terrifying beast, without any consideration about my pride! Could it be that she subconsciously thinks that I’m a scumbag like her ex-boyfriend? Michael was baffled.
Daniel seemed to have noticed his puzzlement. As he was reading the newspaper, he advised him in a patronizing tone, “Listen to me—don’t rush it. You need to coax your wife slowly and patiently. After she’s
familiarized herself with you, you can easily do what you want with her. How about I give you a suggestion?”
Michael didn’t reply to him.
“Don’t you have a secret weapon in your hands?” Daniel asked mysteriously.
A secret weapon?
Before Michael could get hold of his meaning, Harry managed to figure it out. “Haha! You have such a powerful weapon. If you use it, I’m sure that your wife will give in to you!”
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly smiled knowingly.
After Sophia found out that Michael was in the gym, it was only natural for her to lack the courage to continue sticking around. She took a stroll around outside, had a meal, did some shopping in the shopping mall, played some games, and slowly went home when it was dark outside.
Luckily, Michael wasn’t home, and Maria told her that he wouldn’t be coming home tonight; he had gone to his son’s place.
“Boss has a son?” When Sophia, the lawful wife, found out that her husband had an illegitimate son, she actually felt a little glad!
Maria nodded. “Yes. He’s five now! I just saw him two years ago!”
This is such excellent news! It’s impossible for a successful person like Michael to only have me as his woman! He must have a bunch of mistresses outside. His mistresses and a whole group of illegitimate sons could probably even form a long line! Maybe he will just forget about me in a day or two!
Upon having such thoughts, she suddenly found that life was full of surprises!
That night, she slept soundly and had a dream about Michael bringing home a bunch of mistresses and kids. Right in front of them, he coldly threw a check worth 200 million at her and said, “Let’s get a divorce, and this 200 million will be yours!”
She immediately stepped forward and grabbed the check while grinning. “Hubby, that’s too much. 100 million is enough. 100 million…”
After that, with the money in hand, she continued her studies, opened a company, became a domineering president, and had a young kept man. From that point onward, her life only got better…
“Hehehe…” Sophia chuckled in joy. Perhaps the dream was too sweet; she was so reluctant to let go of it that she slept in.
Only when Maria came to call her, she woke up with a start. She looked at the clock and found out that it was now 10.00AM. According to her schedule, she was supposed to attend horse-riding class in the morning.
She changed her clothes hurriedly. “Maria, why didn’t you wake me up?”
Maria felt innocent. “Madam, Boss who asked me not to do so.”
“Michael? He’s back?” Feeling astonished, she subconsciously looked at the two big eels in the aquarium—they were still alive and kicking.
She could feel a chill run down her spine. It’s over. The beast’s back! Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Maria nodded. “Yeah. He came back with Little Master at daybreak. He said that you were tired, so he asked me not to wake you up. Don’t worry. I’ve asked Hale to give a call to the people at the horse-riding club.”
Michael actually brought his illegitimate son back here?
