My Dreamy Old Husband
Chapter 1124

Callum was sent here by Anna today to talk to Sophia about buying their house, but he did notexpect that Sophia would present him with a one-sided contract termination as soon as he arrived.“This is the termination agreement. Take a look. If you're not satisfied with the terms, we can talkabout it now. You can ask for as much money as you want, as I have plenty.”

She threw down a pen, and it was placed on the table together with the agreement. “Just fill in theamount that you want.”

Upon seeing this, Callum frowned.

Aren't we just buying your house? Why do I sense some kind of deep hatred? Is it really necessary?Baffled, Callum opened his mouth to speak. “This—"

“Sophia!”

Callum did not know why Anne was here, and he was even more puzzled when Anne suddenlyslammed the table and shouted at Sophia. “Don’t be shameless! Ronney Group only cooperatedwith you because we think highly of you. Who do you think you are? You're a b*stard, so you don'teven have the right to cooperate with the Yard family in the first place! And yet you have the nerveto terminate the contract? A b*stard is a b*stard; you'll never amount to anything!”

In Anne's opinion, the Yard family was the most powerful existence in the world. It was one’sblessings to be able to work with Ronney Group; in fact, it was the chance of a lifetime.

Not only did Sophia not kneel down to thank the Lord, but she even dared to terminate thecontract!

Callum's face paled.

Why is Anne here? This fool!

Sophia was so mad that a bitter laugh escaped her. Looking at Callum, she tried to be as kind as shepossibly could. “Mr. Callum, I'm sorry. I'm a b*stard child, so working together has indeed been aninsult to you and the Yard family’s reputation. Sign this and stamp here while you're at it. Shae,bring the ink pad.”

Shae came over and with a thud, an ink pad was thrown onto the table.

Callum started, “Is this—"

He just wanted to buy a house, not terminate the contract with Sophia!

Through their cooperation recently, their first few products had been selling well abroad. What isthis?

But it seemed like it was not his turn to speak, because Anne had snatched the agreement over andwas tearing it up.

“You can forget about terminating the contract. Ronney Group gave you a chance because we thinkthat you're worthy. Do you think that you can terminate the contract just because you want to? Doyou even have the right to bring it up? Even if the contract were to be terminated, it would beRonney Group kicking you out instead!”

Callum was dumbstruck.

He knew that Anne was foolish, but he did not expect her foolishness to reach this extent.

Sophia flashed him a treacherous smile, seeming as if she had something up her sleeves, beforesaying, “It's okay, Mr. Callum. We can produce another copy of the agreement even though thisone’s destroyed. Name your price. It doesn’t matter how much it is and just give me a number. I'llfork out the amount right now.”

With that, she tossed out a stack of post-dated checks. “Fill in the amount as you like. I'm just alowly b*stard with nothing else to offer other than some stinking money.”

Callum hastily said, “No, it's fine. Today, I—"

For some reason, Sophia suddenly became angry. She slammed the table and stood up withlightning speed. “Callum Yard, I only cooperated with you out of respect for the Yard family. If Ididn't respect you, you'd be nothing. You have no say in the termination of this contract! If youdon't agree to this, I'll make sure Ronney Group leaves Bayside City! Trying to be ostentatious withme by flaunting your has-been royalty? In ancient times, the fall of the Yard family would make all ofyou social pariahs and slaves for generations after. If it weren't for the revolutionary liberation thatwas achieved my grandfather's generation, you wouldn't even be able to get an ID card now!”Callum stared blankly at her, suddenly feeling trapped.

In his eyes, Sophia was a young and adorable mixed-race girl, but just now, he could feel the air ofarrogance bursting out of her. It was the kind of aura that came from her core, evil and cold, and itwas nothing at all like her appearance.

It was obvious that she was furious.

She said that she would make Ronney Group leave Bayside City, and there was no doubt that shewas completely capable of doing so. After all, Ronney Group was the outsider here, and they had nopower in someone else's territory.

Sophia, on the other hand, was the leader in this area. Her father was a Mitchell, while her husbandwas a Fletcher. She had a great influence in Cethos, and she even had Asco International—a mightyCethosian business. Furthermore, the Winston family also showed her respect, and the industry shecreated had an influence in Cethos unlike any other. If she were to lose her temper, then herstatements would not just be petty talk.

Seeing that Sophia dared to speak to her cousin in such a manner, Anne's anger grew.

"Sophia, how dare you use that tone with Callum? You... Do you know who he is?"

However, Sophia, who had sat back down, seemed as if she could not be bothered to answer. Shehad already put on her sunglasses, just wanting to get the termination over with. The large framesof the glasses nearly covered up half of her face. Her blue eyes were like those of a predator's, lyingin the dark as she fixed Callum with a cold gaze, making him feel a chill down his spine.

What an imposing manner this little girl has

Callum had only seen such dominance on one other woman before, and that woman was noneother than his mother—Anna Yard.

Callum gave a slight shudder, but his face was ice-cold. He said to his cousin, “Anne, stand down.”Despite that, Anne refused to back down. Her face was flushed with anger as she stomped her foot.“Callum, didn't you hear the way she spoke to you? She's too audacious, and she even threatenedyou! We must teach her a good lesson!”

Sophia suddenly piped up, “Do you think I don’t know what the Yard family is playing at? The Yardfamily originated from the Lombardi River, then founded the Lombardi Dynasty thousands of yearsago, but was evicted from Cethos seven hundred years ago because the last emperor was fatuousand immoral. According to the change in laws, royals like the Yard family who have been dethronedwill be considered outcasts for generations to come. You'll always be the lowest of the low, doinginferior work and possessing a status that's worse than that of a pig's. Even if the Yard familyestablished Ronney Group and managed to make a name for themselves, in Cethos, you all aren'tthe strongest. Globally, you're not even worth mentioning. Heh, if it wasn’t for my grandpa“skindness which led to him interceding on behalf of the Yard family and covering this up, the Yardfamily would still be nailed firmly onto the pillar of shame now. You would've been a national sinnerfor eternity!”

Callum’s face was ashened, and he was too shocked to speak.

Sophia then lifted her sunglasses and sneered, “What's the problem? You don't want to acceptdefeat? Believe it or not, tomorrow I'll make sure the Yard family ends up in the high school modernhistory textbook next semester. I'll even turn you into a subject in the college entrance examination.I'll let all of Cethos know what the Yard family did back then!”

"How dare you—"

Callum shot Sophia a fierce glare.

The Yard family was glad that they did not make it into the history textbooks for various reasons. Ifthey did, the entire country would learn about what they had done. At that moment, they wouldreally be nailed to history's pillar of shame, unable to get down. Naturally, the younger generationswere the ones who had to take the blame for what their predecessors had done.

Every Cethosian would be criticizing and judging the Yard family.

When the time came, Ronney Group could forget about developing their business in Cethos

Anne was enraged. She once again slammed her hand down on the table and yelled, “Then what areyou? You're just a b*stard, and yet you dare to speak to us like that? The Yard family is the proudestand most powerful family in the world! Where do you think you come from? You want us to be inmodern history textbooks? Who do you think you are? Whether or not we're in the books is not upto you to decide!”
