My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 266

“Oh, my. Wasn’t that ring already bought by Taylor?”

“Taylor rented it to Bayside City Museum. I went there to look at it two days ago!”

“Why is it here?”

The crowd was only enviously looking at Xyla’s ring earlier, but now, they were completely obsessed! The mysterious crimson jewel resembled a bleeding rose. It was way too enticing! Rumors had it that it was worth 7 billion!

Sophia tidied her hair, as if she had just heard the crowd’s discussion, and said, “Yes. This is Taylor’s ring. I specially borrowed it from him.”

There were two rings—one resembled a pure lily, while the other resembled a noble, cold, yet stunning rose. The ‘Eternal Heart’ radiated a queen-like vibe, looking just like a queen in an alluring red dress, thoroughly showing off her beauty. In comparison with that, Xyla’s pigeon-egg-shaped diamond ring looked insignificant.

Shocked by the turn of events, Xyla retracted her arms stiffly and continued to force a smile as she uttered to Richard, “Richard, there are still plenty of tables. Let’s go to another table.” The two of them then left with their tails between their legs.

Sophia watched on as they left and sneered. She then turned around just to see that Michael was peering her enthusiastically, and it made her blush. She stuck out her tongue, and an adorable expression was back on her face.

In fact, Michael stayed quiet just now because he was giving her a chance for a solo performance. It was extremely exciting, which made him nearly applaud for her! Sophia had an air of a queen just now!

After toasting, the performance on stage was incredibly exciting, while Sophia and Michael were playing around with each other.

Meanwhile, Faye’s eyes were burning from afar; her gaze was focused on the ring on Sophia’s finger. The ‘Eternal Heart’’! That b*tch doesn’t deserve that ring! I have to find a way to get hold of it!

Joe was also looking at the girl not far away from him. The more he looked at her, the more familiar he found her to be. I think I might have seen her somewhere…

Halfway through the banquet, Faye kept staring at Sophia, who kept her composure without any strange behavior! What’s going on? Is the wine earlier not taking any effect? I have a grand show waiting for her to become the main character!

After having some wine, Sophia got up to go to the washroom. However, to her surprise, when she got out from the washroom, there was nobody around other than Richard, who was coldly staring at her. Immediately, he dashed up to her. “Sophia, what’s the purpose for doing this? It’s impossible for us to be together! Don’t dream of becoming Mrs. Harper. To me, you are no match to Xyla at all! You are a b*tch! I feel disgusted at the sight of you!”

Sophia coldly peered at him before smiling. “I have no idea what you are talking about.”

Richard gripped on her shoulder, furious. “How dare you say that you don’t know about this? The thing with Ella and also the messed-up videos earlier. Aren’t all those your doings?”

Sophia frowned and slapped his hand away. “Mr. Harper, I’m afraid that you have been mistaken. If I had the ability to come up with such a magnificent plan, I wouldn’t have been driven to a corner by the Harper Family back then.”

Hearing that, Richard was momentarily stunned. He stared at her face, and his gaze seemed to burn a hole in her. She had dressed up today, looking stunning. Though it was merely an ordinary outfit, she still looked outstanding in it. After a while, he put on a deranged smile. “Your reason for doing all this is to have sex with me, isn’t it? I’ll fulfill your wish now!” He then pounced onto her, but he was unexpectedly greeted by her slap.

However, Sophia lowered her head and continued playing her phone, pretending to not hear her. As such, the girl stood there awkwardly, glancing at Faye, then back at Sophia. Just when she was about to leave, Sophia suddenly raised her head and smiled. “Where’s that? I shall go and take a look.”

The girl was surprised and answered, “In the hotel room. Let’s go. I’ll lead you there.” She then led Sophia toward a room on the second floor.

Upon seeing that her plan had succeeded, Faye followed behind them in delight.

“It’s just right there. The incident that happened earlier gave a lot of students a fright, so they are resting in the room now!” The girl led Sophia to the guest room.

When they arrived at the room, the girl opened the door to the room. However, she didn’t enter the room; she forcefully pushed Sophia into the room instead. “Here it is. Everyone’s waiting for you inside!” The girl sounded excited.

Sophia remained silent, as if she didn’t realize anything strange, and she walked into the room. The girl reached out her hand to Sophia’s back in exhilaration, preparing to give her a hard push before quickly closing and locking the door.

Nevertheless, to her surprise, Sophia, who already had one foot inside the room, rapidly turned around. With a calm yet accurate and strong movement, she snatched the hotel room card from the girl’s hand and kicked her into the room. She then threw something into the room. When the thing landed on the floor, it exploded and exuded a scent that would make one’s heart race, rapidly arousing the natural instinct and desire of humans. It was a strong aphrodisiac, also known as the gas-type philtre!

Before the scent spread, Sophia instantly closed the door and locked it.
