The conversation ended.
Stanley, who was facing the laptop on the other side, stared at his laptop screen incredulously.
What? Did she claim that Michael doesn’t know how to play games? That is the joke of the century! Michael is the best player on earth when it comes to computer games!
Usually, the majority of people who play games are actually being played by the game. Michael is the only person who is truly playing the game.
One of the mobile phone games he invested in made more than 40 billion in operating revenue. Even the cleaner in the gaming company received 20 months’ worth of salary as their year-end bonus!
His character in the ‘Swordsman Game’, Scary Phoenix, owns over a billion in game currency!
He was also Cethos’ first-generation National Esports Champion, who entered the International Esports Tournament, and won! He was the one who taught me my gaming skills! I can’t believe she is claiming that he doesn’t know how to play games!
Sophie, my dear Sophie. You fool—how can you, with your simple mind, possibly defeat my uncle?!
While lamenting, Stanley reprimanded Michael in his mind. Michael is such a playboy!
He married a b*tch in the game! Maybe he has even met the person offline! They have most probably slept together! Poor Sophie. I’m sure she doesn’t even know how many times he’s cheated on her!
The enemy’s Combat Effectiveness is too powerful. If I were to attack them directly, there is a 99% chance I’d be beaten into a pulp. Therefore, I have to take a different approach in secret. The first thing I have to do is to drive a wedge between them.
After playing the game for a while, Sophia logged into her main character to participate in a clan war with the members of her clan. The Global Finals is just around the corner. I have to be in the best state for that!
Nathan did not disturb her as well; instead, he went to the garden alone to play.
Since Nathan was enrolled straight into university, he did not have peers around his age to play with him. Therefore, Michael allowed the servants from Villa No. 8 to live-in with their children so that Nathan would always have kids his age to play with him.
Sophia was seated by the window. She would look out to check on the children in between playing games.
There were seven people in the clan today, but Scary Phoenix was not around. Sophia played the game while chatting with Sean using her new character.
‘Stan is not in a good mood today; maybe the incident yesterday affected him badly.’
Sophia already knew all about it, so she replied to him, ‘You should go ahead and talk him out of it.’
Sean: ‘Mm-hmm.’
Sophia, who was in the middle of playing the game, received a text through messenger from Stanley.
Stanley sent her lots of pictures.
There were many images, but Sophia merely went through them quickly. At a quick glance, there was a pair of tightly-swaddled adorable babies.
In the second picture, the toddler seemed to be older, and they were about 2 to 3 years old. They were holding hands; in fact, they looked like a match made in heaven.
Sophia’s heart skipped a beat, and she picked her phone up to look at the picture closely.
Sophia did not reply to him. She picked up her phone to gaze at the 18-year-old Michael while spacing out.
It’s such a pity that we hadn’t met at the time. If we had… would I catch his attention?
The next day, Sophia woke up early in the morning to head to university. The incident which happened during the charity banquet seemed to have spread across the whole university. Sophia’s 80,000 net worth got around fast. A group of classmates gathered round to speak to her once she walked into the classroom.
“Oh, my God, Sophia. I can’t believe you are Faye Edwards’ younger sister!”
“Is it true that your dad sold you off at a mere price of 80,000?!”
“Is your current husband extremely old?”
Sophia didn’t bother to hide the truth anymore since everybody had found out about it.
Therefore, she answered, “My husband is only around 10 years older than me, and he is not old nor ugly. We share a good relationship. Nevertheless, I am unsure about the 80,000. My husband and I have a normal relationship and marriage; in fact, I was already 18 years old when I got married.”
There were no rules in the university stopping students from getting married because they were all adults here. Anyone above 18 years old was eligible to obtain a marriage certificate. In fact, most children from wealthy families would get married once they were of age, especially marriage unions between two families. Aren’t Richard and Xyla engaged too?!
The crowd surrounded Sophia to talk to her, but a sharp and sarcastic voice rang loud from the classroom entrance. “My pitiful younger sister, you are still trying to salvage what little dignity you have left here despite marrying an old man!”
