Ring!
The bell rang, and the teacher entered the classroom with some books and teaching materials. Faye had no choice but to retreat, whereas Sophia got to continue with class.
After class, as the class representative for the Economics Cohort, Sophia had to submit the class’ economics assignments to Quinton’s office.
After arriving at the office and handing in the assignments, she took the chance to ask Quinton some difficult questions she had regarding the subject.
After they discussed the questions, Sophia started packing her things to leave. However, Quinton asked her suddenly, “Sophia, do you need me to help you apply for legal aid? I know a few well-known people in the legal profession in Bayside City.”
Sophia gazed at him in puzzlement.
Why would I apply for legal aid out of the blue?
Quinton hesitated before explaining, “I heard your father sold you off to an old and ugly man for 80,000… This is not legal in the eyes of the law. If you are ready, I can get someone to help you with your divorce.”
Ah, he’s referring to this matter.
Sophia had the urge to burst out laughing.
She answered him, “Thank you, professor, but I have a good relationship with my husband. He is not old, nor ugly. In fact, he is quite handsome!”
Sophia blushed contentedly when she thought of Michael.
The office door cracked open at that moment. A nimble and small head peeked through the crack, and his eyes darted around the room. He immediately caught sight of Sophia.
When Sophia saw the small head peeking through the crack, she giggled while commenting, “Besides, I have an adorable and handsome son! Just look at how happy I am!”
Nathan dashed into the office straight away. He seemed to have heard some rumors in university today, and so he held onto Sophia’s leg tightly, as if afraid that she might leave him anytime.
Quinton did not comment further upon witnessing this scene.
Nathan took Sophia’s hand on the way to the cafeteria for lunch. He did not loosen his grip along the way.
Today, I heard my classmates claiming my dad was involved in the trading of women. It is against the law, and if someone lodged a police report, the policemen would arrest my dad, whereas my mom would be sent back to her original family.
If that were to happen, I would immediately become an orphan!
Michael specifically prepared a private canteen for them just so that they could take a nap in the hostel after their meal in the private canteen. However, Sophia still preferred to eat in the student cafeteria. I still have lots of money in my meal card!
On their way to the cafeteria, Stanley came barging at them ferociously and unexpectedly while blocking their way.
“Sophie, did you read the messages I sent you yesterday?! My uncle is truly not a good husband. You will be chased out of the house sooner or later if you stay together with him! Besides, my uncle has been in love with someone else from the very beginning. You are just his mistress if you stay with him. Is this what you want?”
Sophia acted as if she did not grasp what he meant. Instead, she walked around him while continuing moving forward. Nevertheless, Nathan understood him, and he glared at Stanley viciously.
He entered revenge mode in silence. Once I am grown, and Stanley becomes old, I will beat him into a pulp!
Stanley caught up to Sophia while elaborating, “My uncle is a playboy; in fact, he is the biggest playboy on earth. I’m telling you—you will regret it in the future if you stay together with him. It’s best for you to leave him as soon as possible! Don’t worry; if you are scared of my uncle, you can just tell me. I will help you get a divorce safely. If my uncle refuses to divorce you, I’ll get Old Master Fletcher involved, and I’ll expose Uncle Michael for being involved in trading women. I’m sure Old Master Fletcher will teach him a lesson!”
Richard dropped by the university to sort out some courses, and he wasn’t expecting to witness a quarrel between Stanley and Sophia. He observed them from afar, and so he did not hear the actual conversation. However, he saw Stanley pointing at Sophia right in the face furiously, so he was positive they broke up.
Now that Sophia has broken her ties with the Fletchers, it may very well be my chance now…
I would truly like to know who is the person supporting Sophia from behind. The signs indicate that the person is beyond rich.
Joe merely supplied a sperm twenty years ago; twenty years later, he sold Sophia off in a rush for money. There is no family connection nor affection between the two of them, so what gives him the right to take over that asset?
If I were to take over that large amount of assets…
Unbeknownst to everybody, apart from Richard, Michael was also observing the scene.
Gemma’s pinhole robot was broadcasting the scene live for him. Upon listening to Stanley spouting nonsense, Michael wanted nothing more than to crawl into the screen and rip him apart!
How did Stanley conclude that I am still hung up on Irene? What makes me seem like a playboy? Did he forget who gave him his pocket money? Did he forget who took him in all those years ago when he was penalized in the army for entering the internet café during his military training, and was later beat up and kicked out of the house by Old Master Fletcher? Was it Irene Weber? Heh.
There are all sorts of factors and unknown threats outside, but I have Stanley trying to drive a wedge between us from within. Michael felt a suffocating pressure against his shoulders.
After class in the afternoon, it was time for Sophia to return home, whereas Nathan constantly kept close to her because he was afraid she might change her mind any second. They arrived at the entrance of the university when a Cayenne showed up suddenly. The next thing they knew, Joe got out of the car.
He flashed Sophia a scary grin when he saw her. “My obedient daughter and grandson, I have waited for the both of you for a very long time. Let’s go. Follow me home!”
I’m sure my son-in-law will show up if his wife and son are in my hands!
