My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 31

Not to mention the boss! It was known to everyone that the owner behind Audistin was extremely mysterious. Even the truly powerful and influential individuals couldn’t meet their boss, let alone the Harper Family.

Richard was so furious that he nearly gave Kayla a tight slap. With a low voice, he fiercely admonished her, “Have you not humiliated yourself enough? Shut up!”

Kayla was stunned as she had never thought that her brother, who had always pampered her, would actually say such a thing to her. Instantly, she stared at him in disbelief. “Richard, how dare you scold me!”

His face was cold and dark when he continued scolding her, “This incident today was all because of you!” As he was the confirmed successor of the Harper Family, the whole family poured all their resources to prepare him and cultivate his skills, so they neglected Kayla’s education, which unexpectedly led to her current unruly and capricious nature.

He knew that it was only a matter of time before she would give him trouble, but it was out of his expectation that she would cause such a major problem.

Due to the fact that this was the first time Kayla was scolded by her brother, who had always pampered her, she felt aggrieved and disgruntled. All of a sudden, she spotted Sophia, who was watching the commotion among the crowd, and instantly, she was overwhelmed by rage.

Yes, everything that had happened today was all under Sophia’s instruction! That b*tch must have had some shady affair with the gym manager. This must be the reason they worked together to pull this on me.

“It was her. It was all because of her!” Kayla suddenly pointed at Sophia, who was among the crowd.

Sophia was dumbfounded. I’m only here to watch the commotion. What does this have to do with me?

Kayla pointed at Sophia and then at Mr. Wesley before wildly accusing, “Everything that’s happened today was all because of this woman. She must have made some shady deals with this manager, which was why he went all out to do that to us!”

Sophia shrugged her shoulders with an innocent expression. “I’m just here to work out and stumbled upon this commotion. So now it’s my fault?”

Richard was busy resolving the matter about the membership, so he hadn’t gotten the chance to notice Sophia among the crowd. It had been a few days since he last saw her. Though they went to the same university, he hardly ever bumped into her.

After not seeing her for a few days, Sophia seemed to have become even more beautiful than before, especially when she was currently wearing a sportswear with a crop top, which thoroughly revealed her slim waist.

Her attractive abs were incredibly eye-catching, and by just quietly standing among the crowd, she made an incomparably stunning view. “Sophia…” His lips moved, and his heart seemed to have floated toward her.

When Xyla, who was at one side, saw this scene, viciousness flashed across her eyes. She then tugged Richard resentfully. “Richard…”

Only then did he return to his senses. For a second just now, he felt that it was as if his soul had been taken away by her. What’s going on?

Upon seeing that Richard still hadn’t moved on from Sophia, Kayla was enraged, so she intentionally caused a ruckus by pointing at Sophia and cursing loudly, “It was that vixen! After seducing my brother, she came to this gym to hook up with other people.

It was her who deliberately caused trouble by conspiring with the manager to frame us today! Is this how Audistin serves their customers? How dare a manager randomly accuse their customer! I want to see your boss! Ask your boss to come out here now!”

Her high-pitched voice could be heard all over the gym. Not only the people in the lobby, but plenty of people came out from the private workout rooms to watch the ruckus. Ever since the rich kid from the other time was driven away, it had been quite a while since anyone had made a scene in Audistin!

Sophia, who was being pointed at by Kayla, wore an innocent expression. “I really came here just to work out. What does the cancelation of your membership have to do with me?”

Mrs. Harper, who had always disliked Sophia, strongly believed that her daughter was not such an untactful person who would do such an idiotic act. It turns out that Sophia is here. This b*tch must have done something that instigated my daughter to do such a foolish act!

Therefore, the woman joined in the war of words. She pointed at Sophia and started rebuking, “It turns out that it was you who pulled this on us, you vixen! Here I was, wondering why our family was having such bad luck. It turned out that it was all because of you!”

Sophia, who was dragged into the situation though being totally innocent, gave up on explaining herself; she just looked at them scolding her in silence, as if she was looking at two monkeys.

Thinking that she was in the right, Mrs. Harper barked at her louder, “You vixen, you must have conspired with this manager to pull this nasty trick on us! Don’t even think that you are going to succeed with this. We are going to meet your boss and tell him about those dirty moves you have made!”

Richard, however, kept quiet at that moment. He also thought that Kayla certainly wouldn’t make trouble at Audistin for no reason. It turns out that it was Sophia who was stirring up the trouble! Is she still mad at our family because of me?

I don’t know when she has started to become like a hedgehog that would prick anyone she meets. If she’s willing to put down all her quills and become gentle and adorable like how she used to be, we might even be able to get back to how we were before… Still, he kept his mouth shut. He couldn’t bring himself to blame her, but he couldn’t stop his mother placing the blame on her as well.

Mrs. Harper and Kayla were certain that Sophia colluded with the gym manager to frame them. Maybe Sophia managed to hook up with Mr. Wesley. Otherwise, if it weren’t for this manager, how would she have been able to enter Audistin with her identity?

They were determined to intensify the situation so that they could deal with the owner of the gym directly. A manager who makes a fuss using his position is just a nobody compared to his boss, and his boss will definitely side with us since we are such high-status customers. By then, we won’t let Sophia and Mr. Wesley off easily!

While the Harper Family was making a ruckus in the hall, scolding Sophia and the manager, Michael was comfortably sitting on the couch in a VIP gym room, watching the scene via the security cameras in the hall.

He saw his young wife being reprimanded by the mother and daughter of the Harper Family. If it weren’t for the employees who were pulling them back, they were probably even going to lay their hands on her!

Meanwhile, Richard, her ex-boyfriend, was standing at one side, keeping quiet. Looking at this scene, Michael could roughly imagine how tough her life must have been. It must have been disappointing for her to have such an ex-boyfriend!

At the same time, Daniel was reading the newspaper while Harry was searching online for gay novels which had him and Michael as the main characters. “Your little wife is now being scolded. Aren’t you going to step in?” Daniel put down the newspaper and asked.

Michael took a sip of tea calmly. “My wife is not someone who could be bullied easily by anybody.”

In the hall, the mother and daughter of the Harper Family were still making a commotion. Mr. Wesley was initially the one who was scolded, but now that the pair of mother and daughter of the Harper Family turned their attention at Sophia, he became an onlooker who was watching the show with pleasure. Tsk, they are now aiming at the boss’ wife!

Sophia felt utterly annoyed when all she could hear was the noisy yapping of the mother and daughter of the Harper Family. Meanwhile, Richard, that spineless fool, was playing dumb at one side, just as she expected. She suddenly remembered about the incident when she first visited the Harper residence to meet Mrs. Harper.

At that time, she was wearing clothes that were bought by Richard. She looked dark and skinny, and with the branded clothes on her, she looked like a monkey in a dress, looking funny and ridiculous.

She was extremely cautious with her every move for fear that she would break the Harper’s rules and displease them. Little did she know that her existence was the thing that displeased the Harper Family the most.

She could still remember that after Richard reached home, he asked her to get along well with his mother. Right after that, he left her behind—despite her feeling anxious—and entered the study to deal with his company issues.

She sat on the couch in the living room of the Harper residence anxiously. Opposite her was Mrs. Harper and Kayla, who disliked her a lot, and sitting next to her was Xyla, who looked like an angel in her white dress.

At that time, she was alone, without anyone to help her. She faced Mrs. Harper’s criticism and Kayla’s cold sarcasm alone, but she just kept her head down and spoke carefully.

Now, unable to continue to withstand their scolding, she announced loudly, “I’m going to say this again. I didn’t make any trouble. The cancelation of your memberships had nothing to do with me at all!”

Mrs. Harper gritted her teeth with a dark expression. She thought that Sophia was still the feeble young lady who went to their house two years ago like a lowly dog.

“It was you. It must have been you! You must have conspired with your lover to do this! Don’t think that you can do as you please after winning the court case! I’m telling you this now—no matter what you do, don’t even think that my son will cast a glance at you, and don’t you dare think that you can marry into the Harper Family!”
