My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 271

Under the harmonious atmosphere, the charity banquet finally began, and the auction started.

Ethan felt helpless and desperate for being forced by Michael to hold this charity auction dinner.

But since he had organized it, he had to at least auction off a few items, even if it was done half- heartedly.

The first item was his personal watch, which was custom-made by a manufacturer a few years ago. The moment the auction of this item began, everyone competed to get it.

Then, a few items were auctioned off one by one, for instance, a gaming keyboard that he no longer used, his outfit that he wore when he won the Oscars Best Actor Award, the collar of a dog that went bold due to Michael’s jinx, and also the alarm clock that he resented for waking him up every day. All the miscellaneous items were auctioned off, as if he was selling scrap.

As long as it was something that he had used before—even if it was his underwear—there would be someone scrambling for it.

The auction went smoothly. The moment an item was opened for auction, it would be purchased with high price by some rich guest almost instantly.

Michael even wrote an impromptu piece of calligraphy to serve as an auction item today.

This was the first time Michael showed his skills of writing calligraphy. When the sharp and well-defined calligraphy piece was exposed in front of the public, everyone was astonished.

His calligraphy skills were unexpectedly great!

In the end, the calligraphy was auctioned off with the price of 1 million.

After the auction ended, the banquet began. Sophia held Nathan’s little hand and randomly found a seat.

The charity banquet tonight had managed to raise a large amount of funds, and all of it would be donated to programs under the Hope Educational Fund.

The banquet finally began. Stanley shamelessly insisted on sitting next to Sophia and kept putting food onto her plate. Joel couldn’t bear to continue watching and again reminded him, “Stanley, behave yourself!”

He’s like the reincarnation of a perverted ghost!

Nathan glared furiously at Stanley, attempting to stop him from getting closer to Sophia.

Meanwhile, Faye was excitedly heading to the direction of Xyla and Richard, as if she had just received great news. “Xyla, is it true that Sophia was born in the outskirts of Riverdale?”

Puzzled, Richard answered, “Yes. What’s up?”

Richard knew about Sophia’s background. She was born to a family named Edwards in the outskirts of Riverdale. Her family were farmers, and she had lost her parents since young. She was destitute.

But why would Faye ask this question now?

Faye uttered delightfully, “I just heard this from my father. Twenty years ago, when my mother was pregnant with me, a nanny at our house figured out a way to get pregnant with my father’s child in an attempt to blackmail him, but she was then driven away by my mother. After the woman returned to her hometown, she passed away after giving birth to a daughter, and the daughter was Sophia Edwards!”

Richard and Xyla were stunned. They had never expected that Sophia was Joe’s illegitimate daughter, which would make her Faye’s sister.

However, Faye then unexpectedly told them another piece of shocking news. “After the wild chick was driven out of Riverdale High School, she found her way to my house. My father then had her marry an ugly, disabled old man! And Daniel Levine was the middle man!”

This is really shocking news!

Hearing that, Xyla was overjoyed. No wonder she was nowhere to be found after she left Riverdale. It turns out that she went to look for her birth father, Joe. This explains why she has the money to attend Bayside University, and why she’s so arrogant! It turns out that she’s married to an old man! This is really karma!

Richard fell into a deep silence after listening.

Xyla, on the other hand, laughed ‘innocently’. “Hey, if that’s the case, she’d be my cousin. It turns out that we are family!”

An extremely wicked idea suddenly popped into her mind. She then held Richard’s arm. “It turns out that Sophia’s our relative. This is really unexpected. How about we go and greet her now?” She couldn’t wait for everyone to know that Sophia was married to an ugly old man!

Halfway through the banquet, Sophia stopped eating after having two bites because she intended to have dinner together with her idol when they returned home after the banquet. When she was holding a mirror to touch up her makeup, a loud voice of a middle-aged man was suddenly heard from behind her. “Sophia! My daughter! You are actually here. I’ve been looking for you!”

At that moment, Sophia’s expression was freezing cold. She calmly put down the makeup mirror in her hand, but her body remained still.

Stanley, who was eating, stood up in shock. “What? My father-in-law is here?” He turned around and saw a bald, fat middle-aged man standing behind Sophia. The flesh on the man squeezed his eyes into a fine

line.

Stanley’s eyes were filled with disbelief. “You are Sophia’s father?” What kind of gorgeous beauty did this fat b*stard marry to be able to have such a beautiful daughter?

Joel turned toward the oversized man. This is Sophia’s father?

Joe rubbed his hand as he stood behind Sophia. He had never thought that the daughter he had sold would be so beautiful today!

At that time, he was really driven into a corner. All the fortune tellers said that the energy of his house and the horoscopes of his children were not pleasant, so he had people to check them out, but they couldn’t find any problem with them. In the end, he had the horoscopes of all his illegitimate children checked and finally found out that it was Sophia, this jinx, who ruined his birth chart!

After he got rid of her, his entire career completely changed, which confirmed that Sophia was the jinx. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

However, he had never expected that the ugly, dark-complexioned illegitimate daughter from two years ago would become so beautiful!

Sophia finally stood up. She turned around and calmly looked at this fat man before a stiff word escaped her lips—“Father.”

It was ‘father’, not ‘daddy’. ‘Daddy’ was an endearment, but ‘father’ was merely a description of a relationship.

Joe was even more astonished when he looked at Sophia from a close distance. Rubbing his hands, he grinned so hard that his eyes squinted. “You really look like your mother!”

Sophia’s mother was still vivid in Joe’s memory. She was only 18 when she came to the Edwards residence to work as a nanny. She was stunning, looking just like a little fairy. It would be impossible for

Joe to not have any intention toward her when such a beautiful nanny kept appearing before him. On top of that, his wife was pregnant at that time. He was sexually frustrated, so he kept coveting to have a taste of that young nanny.

The ungrateful young nanny pretended to be chaste and refused to give in to me. But in the end, I still managed to make her moan under me.

Unfortunately, Faye’s mother found out about it after that, and she was driven away after an intense beating.

Because of this, Joe couldn’t forget about her for quite some time.

And now, the Sophia before him looked exactly the same as her mother!

Upon seeing that Sophia had admitted, Faye impatiently walked up to her and held her hands warmly. “It turns out that you are really my sister! My daddy said that you are married. Where’s your husband? Why didn’t you bring him here?” She didn’t wait for Sophia to reply. “I know that your husband is an ugly and disabled old man, who is even older than my father; you must be embarrassed to take him out. But he’s still the man you share a bed with after all! Where’s your husband? Ask him to come out to let me have a look at him!”

Stanley was dumbfounded. “Sophia, you are actually married to an old man?”

Faye adamantly nodded. “I bet that you guys didn’t know about it too. She got married two years ago when she was just 18; she got married to an old man!”
