My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 24

My family lost tens of millions for no reason because of Sophia’s false accusations and we even became a laughing stalk among the wealthy elites. Even though Kayla knew that Sophia definitely wasn’t capable of going against her family alone and there was someone pulling the strings, she still wanted 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 her arms.

“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 social venue for them. All of Audistin’s customers came from the rich and powerful families of Bayside City.

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 the Harper Family had also apologized to Sophia.

They even started to prepare for the promised charity during her birthday party, so if she troubled Sophia 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 likely to be kicked out instantly in an embarrassing way.

Audistin had a few legal shooting ranges and hunting grounds that were rare in Cethos, which illustrated the power they had.

There was once when a son of an officer had caused trouble in Audistin by violently whacking a personal 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 his face was swollen and he was even tossed out of the gym in an embarrassing fashion. From that moment 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’s power to take revenge on Audistin, but before he could make a move, his father was quickly taken out. 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 anger inside 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 5 million in compensation, so she shouldn’t be desperate to look for a job here, but here she is! The only 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 by someone to attack us. Now that the false accusation of her pregnancy has passed and my family has settled the matter, she became useless to that mastermind. It’s possible that she didn’t even get paid for what she did!

At that moment, she really felt happy in her heart as a sense of superiority of a wealthy elite suddenly grew. Then, she purposely walked straight to the front of Sophia in the fitness hall. Since she 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’s economic 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’t avoid serving others!” Kayla scorned her immediately.

Sophia could probably guess that Kayla misunderstood something, so she shrugged her shoulders and 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 you didn’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 of West 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 that included an exit near the area. A huge shopping mall and a large office building would be built around the place along with a dock. Therefore, that remote area would soon be the second biggest economic center in Bayside City.

Before she could finish using the tens of millions Michael gave her in the beginning, he gave her another ten millions to spend. Now, she was loaded with money and when she looked at the balance on her bank card, she even thought that she was living with an Iranian rial, which suffered from a severe currency depreciation to the point where you needed to buy beans with a bag of money.

Kayla chuckled as she ruthlessly exposed the truth. “Don’t be too pleased with yourself. You are just a disposable pawn that our competitor is using! Now, you have no value of use and once everything is 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 starting soon After wiping her sweat with a towel, she drank a mouthful of water before walking toward the private training room.

How dare she ignore me! Kayla was furious as a cold light shone from her eyes. She immediately removed 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 than 30 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 the empty 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, but failed to do so. Even if she managed to get herself into Bayside University, she is still a low life who can 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 wanted to kill her. When she lowers herself to wipe the juice under my feet, I’ll give her a hard kick on the head.

However, Sophia turned and ignored her.

Seeing her turning away disdainfully, Kayla was furious as she yelled in a shrill voice, “Is this how an Audistin attendant treats a premium member?”

Sophia continued to walk without turning her head while Juliette’s face paled as she was shocked about the situation. She happened to be in charge of this area, so she immediately kneeled with a large 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’s back with her crimson eyes. An unrestrained high-pitched scream was heard afterward. “Sophia Edwards, 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 to become silent immediately. Then, everyone turned their attention toward Kayla and Sophia. Their lawsuit had caused a huge uproar among the high society, so everyone now surrounded them as if they 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, she finally stood up for herself and replied in a firm tone, “I won’t wipe it!”
