My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1027

Sophia was shocked. She only knew that Quinton had helped Stanley take down Blade, but she was not aware that he was still in Cethos.

Quinton replied, “I can save on flight tickets if I take your plane out of the country.”

He boarded the plane as if he still had something to say to her. However, Michael stretched out a slender arm and blocked him fiercely. “Your room is on that side.”

As he spoke, he pointed to a remote corner of the plane. He had arranged a room and a seat for Quinton. Thus, Quinton could only reluctantly take his luggage and head toward his seat.

Sophia felt that it was rather embarrassing to be playing these tricks despite being an old married couple. Still, we’re already here, and the game is set. It’s a waste not to enjoy ourselves; we might as well do it. After making love for a long time, she became tired and lay on the bed to rest.

Getting out of bed, Michael went to get some water in his birthday suit. When he came back, he noticed a project proposal lying on her work table. It was titled ‘Proposal to Develop Pet Luxury Goods in Cooperation With the Ronney Group’.

“The Ronney Group? The Yard Family?” Upon seeing the words ‘the Ronney Family’, he scowled fiercely with a trace of disgust in his eyes.

“What’s wrong? It’s the Yard Family! The world’s greatest Cethosian financial conglomerate! Is there a problem with it?” Sophia sat up on the bed and asked. The disgusted expression on his face as he stared at the words ‘Ronney Group’ was as if he had swallowed a dead fly, and it made her even more curious. “What’s with your expression? Why do you have the same expression as my father?”

The ‘Ronney Group’ was the world’s greatest Cethosian financial conglomerate. Its strength was comparable to that of the Michel Group. The family behind the Ronney Group was a Cethosian family—the Yard Family—that was said to be an ancient family that migrated from Cethos. They fared the best out of all the Cethosians that had migrated abroad—so much so that they controlled the parliament of the country they were located in. Moreover, they operated many luxury brands. For example, L/K was one of their many assets. This time around, Kenny Blair had spearheaded the efforts to bring Sophia and the Ronney Group into contact.

Hence, she planned to work together with the Ronney Group to develop a series of pet luxury goods. For that reason, she was going abroad to officially discuss this business plan. If the discussion went smoothly, Pourl would officially take its first steps into the international market. However, Cooper had shown a similar expression of disgust when he heard that she was going to cooperate with the Ronney Group and the Yard Family.

“Ugh.” Faced with this company, Michael only had that one word to describe it. He lightly dropped the cooperation proposal on the table. Climbing into bed, he hugged her close and gave her a lecture on the origins of the Ronney Family and the Yard Family. “The Yard Family originated from the river basin of the Lombardi River in Cethos. They claim to be descendants of Lady Lombardi, who was part of the former imperial family which established imperial power and ruled over Cethos more than 700 years ago. Their regime lasted for more than 300 years. At the time, Cethos’ borders were vast, and it was rich in natural resources. It was the richest country in the world. However, the last emperor of the Ronney Family 300 years ago was unspeakably brutal. As a result, the peasants raised an army, started a revolt, and built the previous dynasty. Before the peasant army invaded the capital, a total of 100,000 civil and military officials of the Yard Family and the imperial court entered the sea by way of the Lombardi River and escaped overseas. Back then, the Yard Family monopolized the most advanced textile and porcelain technology in the world. It was the private property of the imperial family. Even now, that technology is lost to Cethos. Using these technologies, they created a stable foothold for themselves abroad, became a hegemon, and took control of the silk, porcelain, and tea businesses overseas. They gradually formed a huge conglomerate, operating dozens of luxury brands.”

Michael sighed. “To be honest, it’s nothing much. Although history should be remembered, people still need to move forward. Back then, the Fletcher Family killed countless foreigners. Besides, am I not being equally hypocritical by working with foreigners when filming movies?”

Despite that, she still felt slightly angry. No wonder the people working in the Ronney Group’s Cethosian branch are so arrogant. From general employees to janitors, they all had a sense of superiority around them—so much so that they were indifferent and haughty toward the head of the Cethosian Brand Department, Kenny Blair. I thought that they had a claim to the throne. It turns out that they truly have a claim to the throne. Bah! They are simply an imperial family past their time; why are they putting on airs?!

Calculating her options, she decided that if the other party’s conditions were too harsh, she would refuse the cooperation. Still, the Yard Family held a large number of skills and craftsmanship that were lost to Cethos. Besides, they were leading in the luxury goods market around the world. It would be great if she could cooperate with them. Lying in his arms, she mulled over it for a while. All of a sudden, she asked him, “Why did you want to go abroad suddenly? As far as I remember, your film set is not in North America, right?”

Michael closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. It seemed like he wasn’t willing to let Sophia know about it, but she learned about it anyway. Turning on his phone, he pulled up a photo on his phone and said, “This was what Blade was holding tightly in his hand before he died.”

Sophia glanced at the phone. It was a blood-stained and crumpled photo. Looking at the photo, she gasped in shock. “That can’t be! How could that be—”.
