My Dreamy Old Husband -
Chapter 24
My family lost tens of millions for no reason because of Sophia's false accusations and we evenbecame a laughing stalk among the wealthy elites. Even though Kayla knew that Sophia definitelywasn't capable of going against her family alone and there was someone pulling the strings, she stillwanted to tear the latter's face off immediately after seeing her.
She instinctively walked toward her, but she did not expect to be halted by a pair of hands on herarms
"Kayla, don't...” Xyla stopped her in time. “We are in Audistin. We can't cause any trouble here.”The elites paid attention to their health and fitness, so the gym almost became an important socialvenue for them. All of Audistin’s customers came from the rich and powerful families of BaysideCity.
Hence, if anything happened here, it would spread throughout the society the next day.
However, this was a critical time for Kayla, seeing that the lawsuit had now been concluded and theHarper Family had also apologized to Sophia.
They even started to prepare for the promised charity during her birthday party, so if she troubledSophia at that moment, someone might cause the situation to be worsened.
We all know that Audistin has a powerful backing. Whoever dares to create a fuss here is very likelyto be kicked out instantly in an embarrassing way.
Audistin had a few legal shooting ranges and hunting grounds that were rare in Cethos, whichillustrated the power they had.
There was once when a son of an officer had caused trouble in Audistin by violently whacking apersonal trainer because of his wealthy background.
However, in the end, the man was beaten to a pulp by a few muscular trainers to a point where hisface was swollen and he was even tossed out of the gym in an embarrassing fashion. From thatmoment on, his family was excluded from Audistin forever.
According to the rumors, the man refused to accept the fact and wanted to rely on his father'spower to take revenge on Audistin, but before he could make a move, his father was quickly takenout. Since then, no one even dared to lay their hands on Audistin.
Kayla knew that she couldn't cause another commotion, but she just couldn't suppress the angerinside her, so her whole body started to tremble.
Suddenly, she heard Xyla's gloating cry. “Apparently Sophia works here!”
After hearing her words, Kayla instantly understood. Sophia works here! Our family just paid her 5million in compensation, so she shouldn't be desperate to look for a job here, but here she is! Theonly explanation for this is that she didn’t get any of the money.
By the looks of it, it has to do with the mastermind behind her because she is just a pawn used bysomeone to attack us. Now that the false accusation of her pregnancy has passed and my family hassettled the matter, she became useless to that mastermind. It's possible that she didn't even getpaid for what she did!
At that moment, she really felt happy in her heart as a sense of superiority of a wealthy elitesuddenly grew. Then, she purposely walked straight to the front of Sophia in the fitness hall. Sinceshe is a part-time student here, I have many ways to embarrass her.
Meanwhile, Sophia was still chatting with Juliette as they had a discussion about yesterday'seconomic law class, exchanging ideas on “consumer's rights to “the significance of taxation’.However, just when they had a stimulating conversation, Kayla and Xyla showed up in front of them"A peasant will always be a peasant. Even if you've enrolled in Bayside University, you still can'tavoid serving others!” Kayla scorned her immediately.
Sophia could probably guess that Kayla misunderstood something, so she shrugged her shouldersand refused to neither deny nor admit to it. “What's wrong with earning some money by myself?"Kayla sneered. “What is it? Have you used up that 5 million we gave you so quickly? Or is it that youdidn't get a penny out of it?”
Sophia nodded her head sincerely. “You really know a lot. I've actually used it all up.”
That 5 million wasn't even enough for Mr. Fields's retainer fee, but Michael had a huge enterprise,so he didn't care much about her 5 million and Mr. Fields never asked her about the fee. Naturally,the 5 million became her own money, which she used to buy a few houses outside the suburbs ofWest Valley. She also spent a lot of money to purchase some stores in that area.
According to the information provided by Hale, Michael had a contract with a subway line thatincluded an exit near the area. A huge shopping mall and a large office building would be builtaround the place along with a dock. Therefore, that remote area would soon be the second biggesteconomic center in Bayside City.
Before she could finish using the tens of millions Michael gave her in the beginning, he gave heranother ten millions to spend. Now, she was loaded with money and when she looked at thebalance on her bank card, she even thought that she was living with an Iranian rial, which sufferedfrom a severe currency depreciation to the point where you needed to buy beans with a bag ofmoney.
Kayla chuckled as she ruthlessly exposed the truth. “Don’t be too pleased with yourself. You are justa disposable pawn that our competitor is using! Now, you have no value of use and once everythingis over, it will be easy for us to kill you.”
Sophia didn't want to talk nonsense with her because her personal training course would be startingsoon After wiping her sweat with a towel, she drank a mouthful of water before walking toward theprivate training room.
How dare she ignore me! Kayla was furious as a cold light shone from her eyes. She immediatelyremoved the lid on the bottle of juice that she held in her hand before pouring it on the floor,causing water stains to appear.
Sophia turned her head and looked at her actions in confusion. That juice seems to cost more than30 a bottle! She is really a rich girl. I can only bring myself to drink a bottle of cheap mineral water.Kayla's actions successfully drew everyone's attention. She smiled happily and threw away theempty bottle in her hand before glaring at Sophia condescendingly. “What are you looking at?Hurry up and wipe it clean. Servitress!”
She emphasized on the word “servitress'.
Who does she think she is? She is just a nobody who wants to marry into a rich family like us, butfailed to do so. Even if she managed to get herself into Bayside University, she is still a low life whocan only be a subservient dog in front of me! Correction! She isn't even worthy to be my dog!
In Kayla's eyes, Sophia was merely a low life who didn't even deserve her acknowledgement.
Due to Sophia's “false accusation’, Kayla couldn't even show her face in public, so she really wantedto kill her. When she lowers herself to wipe the juice under my feet, I'll give her a hard kick on thehead.
However, Sophia turned and ignored her.
Seeing her turning away disdainfully, Kayla was furious as she yelled in a shrill voice, “Is this how anAudistin attendant treats a premium member?”
Sophia continued to walk without turning her head while Juliette’s face paled as she was shockedabout the situation. She happened to be in charge of this area, so she immediately kneeled with alarge towel to wipe off the juice on the floor.
However, Kayla used her diamond high heels to kick Juliette's towel away before glaring at Sophia'sback with her crimson eyes. An unrestrained high-pitched scream was heard afterward. “SophiaEdwards, do you hear me? I want you to wipe it clean!”
Her scream reverberated through the halls of Audistin, causing the once noisy fitness halls tobecome silent immediately. Then, everyone turned their attention toward Kayla and Sophia. Theirlawsuit had caused a huge uproar among the high society, so everyone now surrounded them as ifthey were watching a drama.
Under the eyes of the crowd, Sophia still walked away in a leisure manner without turning her head.Back then, she was always cautious toward Young Lady Harper because of Richard, but now, shefinally stood up for herself and replied in a firm tone, “I won't wipe it!"
