My Dreamy Old Husband
Chapter 308

There was a ten-second silence among the crowd.

Amid the silence, Sophia snorted derisively. Then, she turned around and left without sayinganother word.

The silence was broken by Stanley's loud guffaw, leading other students to laugh as they discussedamong themselves

"Hahahaha! This is the joke of the day!”

"Who do you think you are?”

"Ask yourself—which part of you deserves her longing?”

“Don’t you know how much your worth is?”

“She has married well—her husband dotes on her, and she has an intelligent son. Richard, on theother hand, has tons of lovers elsewhere, and his sex tape is spread around. I wonder where hisconfidence came from that he thought she wanted to marry him!"

"Apart from that, Xyla is so pitiful! Tsk-tsk! I wonder how many times she has been cheated on!”Stanley was also too lazy to be bothered with explaining. He followed after Sophia as he bent overlaughing

Looking at the few people who left, Richard's clenched fist slowly loosened.

Sophia, is it true that how much you loved me back then equals to how much you hate me now?The crowd slowly dispersed, but the drama just now was still lingering in their minds.

Richard continued to look at the notice board. On the left side, there was a penalty report abouthim. If he could not settle this incident well, he would definitely be punished, and this meant thatthis case would be entered into his profile. With that, it would be impossible for him to further hispostgraduate studies. Even if he applied for universities overseas, with his record of facing a penaltyfrom the most prestigious university in Cethos, he had no chances of getting into a good university.However, on the right side of the notice board was some good news about the midterms—namesof the top students were displayed there, and on the top of the School of Economics and BusinessAdministration was Sophia’s name.

The comparison between Sophia and Richard's name being put next to each other was certainlyvery mocking!

Looking at Richard, who was trembling all over, Xyla hugged him. Feeling sorry for him, she saidgently, “Richard, don't worry. Everything will pass. You are still young, so it's normal to face somesetbacks.”

After Sophia married that old man, it's impossible for her to be together with Richard anymore. Isthis why she wants to ruin his life?

She can dream on!

Don't think that after marrying a rich and powerful old man, she could do anything she wants! Sheis still a nobody!

In fact, it wasn't easy for Richard to enter Bayside University. In order to keep his position at theuniversity, he had to put in a lot of money to settle the scandal at Bayside University this time.Many people were already unhappy with Richard for taking over the business of the Harper Familyat such a young age. After the series of scandals and mistakes he had made, his reputation in theHarper Family was steadily declining. In fact, there had been an emergency meeting in the family tostrip Richard off all responsibilities he had been holding.

After Richard was fired from the office by the stakeholders, he had to return to the university. Mr.Harper was also very disappointed in him, and he asked Richard to finish his studies first beforegetting involved in the company any further.

Apart from that, Richard also asked Xyla to give him 10 million as the compensation fee for hislosses.

With that, the entire fiasco came to an end.

During the weekend, Richard went to Bayside Prison to visit Kayla.

Kayla had worked with the international terrorist group, Phantom Wolf, to plan a terrorist attack.According to rumors, they almost killed someone from the Fletcher Family. After the trial, she wassentenced to 10 years of prison, and the Harper Family did not even dare to counter-sue. By now,she had been behind bars for a few months.

After a few months of not seeing her, Kayla seemed to have changed into a completely differentperson. In the past, she was a spoiled young lady of a rich family. Even the mineral drinks she tookmust be of high-quality, branded material. However, she had become a pale prisoner with messyhair and a lost look in her eyes.

She had completely become different from the image of the usual young lady Richard remembered.Upon seeing Richard's arrival, Kayla cried her heart out. “Richard, you have to save me! I'll die here!”Richard also felt extremely sorry for her, and he wanted to save her as well. She's only 19! It's thebest time of her life, after all. How can she spend it in the prison? She has to serve a 10-yearsentence! By the time she comes out, she'll already be 30!

"Kayla, don't worry. I'll try my best to save you!”

However, even though he had thought of all the possible methods, he still could not figure out away to do so. In order to save Kayla, the Harper Family had already spent tens of millions!

Kayla's case was exposed by the Fletcher Family themselves. Phantom Wolf had killed countlessmembers of the Fletcher Family, yet Kayla still hooked up with them. She's really... an idiot!

After the short meeting, Richard left, leaving Kayla walking back to her prison cell indisappointment. Looking at the small, cramped space, she recalled her lavish lifestyle back then.Why has everything turned to this?

Leaning against the wall, Kayla silently cried.

Suddenly, someone knocked on her door. After the door opened, she saw an unfamiliar face.

"Are you Kayla? Let me bring you out of here!”

While Richard was visiting Kayla in prison, Faye and Xyla were having coffee together.

Xyla pretended to ask innocently, “Have you found out who Sophia's husband is?”

Faye replied grudgingly, “That b*tch refuses to bring us to her home no matter what. I bet she wantsto claim all the money as hers. How ungrateful! Without the Edwards Family, she wouldn't even behere today!"

Xyla's mind spun quickly as she gave Faye some ideas. “Are you a fool? Why do you have to take theinitiative to look for her? You should replace ways to lure her to your house!”

Feeling defeated, Faye explained, I also thought of that. I was planning to kidnap her stepson backto our place, but that bastard has many bodyguards surrounding him. There's no opportunity to laymy hands on him!”

After thinking about it, Xyla suggested, “It doesn't have to be another person. Since Sophia’s momhad stayed with the Edwards Family for a period of time, you can check whether there are still herbelongings around. Then you can use that to lure her in!”

Faye's eyes lit up immediately. She had not thought about this indeed. However, she soon loweredher head dejectedly again. “It's been 20 years. How is it possible that her mom's belongings are stillat my house?”

Xyla said grudgingly, “Are you a fool? Let's not care about the authenticity of the belongings! Lureher in first! If her husband replaces out about it, he will definitely come!”

Faye suddenly understood everything. Sure enough, Xyla has more ideas.

After deciding on that, Faye went back to the Edwards’ ancestral home.

The Edwards Family had been living here for around three decades. Sophia“s mother, Annabel, hadstayed here for a while when she was pregnant with Sophia. Perhaps Faye could really replacesomething there; even if she didn’t, she would pretend that she did to lure Sophia over.

Recently, after the Edwards Family moved to the copycat real estate built by the Harper Family,many of their belongings in the old mansion were moved over. They even left a few people behindto clear the remaining stuff, and there were a few old possessions in the warehouse that hadn'tbeen organized, so she might replace something there.

Xyla followed Faye to the Edwards residence. Right after they arrived, they immediately gathered theolder servants who had served the Edwards Family for more than two decades. They might knowsomething about Annabel.

"20 years ago, when my mom was pregnant with me, we had a temporary nanny called Annabel. Doany of you still remember her?”

20 years ago, Annabel only worked in the Edwards Family for around 3 to 4 months, so not manyremembered her. However, an old servant raised her hand. “I remember her! Annabel was from thesame hometown as me, and I was the one who introduced her to work here. Back then, because sheleft hastily, she still had some stuff left behind at my place!

Faye's eyes lit up immediately.
