My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 160

Stanley never imagined that he would receive an invitation from the Harper Family. On top of that, the formal invitation card was stamped in gold.

Once he saw the invitation card, he knew that the Harper Family wanted to humiliate him because they thought he was Sophia’s boyfriend. On top of that, they knew him as the punk young man who worked in construction. The reason for them sending out the invitation letter was merely to insult both him and Sophia. After all, they would need to wear tuxedos and evening gowns to the occasion. Based on his ‘job’ as a construction worker, they thought that there was no way he could afford a tuxedo.

In a mansion that was located in a huge courtyard of a military base in Bayside City, Stanley looked at himself in the mirror while shaving as he muttered to himself, “Tsk! How dare they try to humiliate me and Sophia! They have no idea who they’re dealing with!”

Usually, he would not dress himself up, but he looked good after he did so.

He stirred up a small commotion in their army base after everyone saw that he dressed himself up to go out.

“Oooh, Stan, are you going for a date?”

“Stan, are you dating someone now?”

Joel was here to discuss some matters with Stanley’s brother. When he saw a well-dressed Stanley getting in the car, he asked, “Going for a date, Stan?”

Stanley caressed his induction-cut head gracefully while saying, “Sophia’s jerk of an ex-boyfriend organized some huge-scale banquet and invited her to humiliate her. I’m just going there to back her up. By the way, Uncle Joel, do I look handsome today? Is it going to be a huge blow to them if I pretend to be Sophia’s fiancé?”

Joel seemed like he wanted to say something, but he decided against that right when the words were about to come out from his mouth. Instead, he asked, “Where’s Michael? Isn’t he back yet?”

Stanley shook his head. “Uncle Michael is still filming abroad. I saw a few pictures from the filming set that he posted yesterday.”

Even if he were back, he probably wouldn’t back Sophia up! After all, she is just Nate’s nanny!

A wild idea suddenly popped up in Stanley’s mind. He grabbed Joel’s arm as he said, “Uncle Joel, let’s go there together to support Sophia!”

It would definitely be a huge blow to him if Joel is there!

Expectedly, Joel released his grip coldly. “Sounds boring.”

Stanley shrugged and drove his car to fetch Sophia at The Imperial.

“Sophia, let’s go!” he stopped the car at the front door and yelled up the stairs. Upon hearing that, Sophia quickly opened the door to walk outside. She had already dolled herself up with beautiful makeup on her face, and her hair was tied up into an elegant bun. However, she wore a big red jacket that wrapped her from head to toe, making her look like a swollen, giant penguin.

“Hmph! Look at your ugly attire!” While speaking, Stanley got out of the car to open the door for her. Sophia entered the car clumsily, like an overweight penguin.

Nathan also wore a small tuxedo with a neat bow tie around his neck. His hair was combed backward sleekly; it glimmered under the light. After he got into the car with Sophia, they drove away from the mansion.

After they left in the car, Hale called a number without any expression on his face.

“Boss, madam has left for the banquet held by the Harper Family with Stanley. Yeah. Yes… the location is at Seanne Hotel.”

Meanwhile, after Michael had completed his work, he suddenly instructed his deputy officer, “Find out the location of the charity dinner banquet held by the Harper Real Estates in Bayside City today…”

On the way to the dinner banquet, Sophia looked at the car that Stanley was driving curiously.

Sure, it’s fancy, but…

“Stanley, can you take off the advertisement on the windscreen?”

On the windscreen in front of the co-driver seat of the shiny Cayenne was a glaringly-visible A4 paper with the words, ‘Luxury car for rent. Price starting from 3,000 per day. Phone number: xxxx’.

Stanley replied while driving, “Do you think I wanted that? The car rental company did not allow me to tear it off! Every other car in my family is military-based. Do you want me to drive a tanker while wearing a tuxedo? It sounds stupid if you think about it! Apart from that, I’m too lazy to borrow a car from others, so I just rented it from the car rental company! Also, stop looking at it condescendingly! I spent 5,000 renting this car! 5,000! Do you know how many packs of instant noodles that I had to endure to save up that much? That’s all the money I’ve scrimped and saved! I wanted to borrow a car from Uncle Michael, but his cars are either limited-edition or specially built. It’s too much to drive them to the banquet held by the Harper Family. They don’t deserve his car at all!”

Sophia rolled her eyes at him. Since it’s just a banquet held by the Harper Family, it’s enough to just drop by and have a look. Renting a car that’s worth 5,000 a day fits their status.

“Stop talking about me. Look at you! What were you thinking, dressed up like a ball for a banquet?”

“Do you think I wanted that? The weather is so cold! Do you want me to reveal my skin?”

In the backseat of the car, Nathan sat up straight as he listened to their bickering. He felt that it was highly probable that he would be insulted by others if he stayed with these two idiots.

But since dad is not here, I’ll protect mom!

At this moment, Kayla’s charity birthday banquet had already begun. The entire hotel had been booked by the Harper Family, and there were many luxury cars stopping by at the entrance as the prestigious guests gracefully walked on the soft red carpet one by one before entering the hotel.

The employees working for the parking service were walking around busily, while a large number of reporters flocked together at the entrance, snapping countless pictures of the guests. The atmosphere was quite busy indeed.

As the organizer, the Harper Family reached the hotel long ago, and they stood at the entrance to welcome the guests. Mrs. Harper wore an elegant and fancy traditional outfit, looking youthful; it seemed that her daily skincare routine had paid off. She looked like Richard’s elder sister when she stood next to him. Meanwhile, Kayla, who had not appeared in public for a while, also showed up.

She could only start walking now since her leg was broken in the military base. Wearing a pink evening gown with exquisite makeup on her face, she exuded youthfulness and bubblyness while she smiled at everyone she saw. She was quite friendly as she tried to keep up with the public relations tactics of the Harper Family.

After the banquet, the media will release a few articles that will put us in a good light. With my kind smile, the Harper Family will escape from the scandals.

While entertaining the guests personally, Kayla kept staring at the door, wanting to see when Sophia would arrive.

I’m definitely going to show Sophia what I’m capable of today!

I’m going to take revenge for all the past humiliations I’ve suffered!

Another car stopped at the entrance—the CEO of Huffs Technology had brought his daughter, Xyla, here. She had been wanting to launch her career in the entertainment industry, so it was a good opportunity to show up tonight. The Harper Family deliberately invited many people from the entertainment industry—famous directors, well-reputed script writers, and a few notable celebrities, so that Xyla and Kayla could brush shoulders with them.

After Xyla got out of the car, she walked gracefully on the red carpet as she posed willingly for the reporters to take good photographs. Even the drafts for the articles were already finished; they only needed pictures to complete it.

“Richard!” Right after she saw Richard, she pounced on him like a bird.

Looking at Xyla, who had dressed up exquisitely today, Richard was moved.

“I’ve prepared a special surprise for you today!” he said in a low voice.

Xyla blushed in happiness.

She knew that Richard had already bought the Imperial Diamond Ring, which was going to be the surprise tonight. However, she pretended to be unaware of it.

At this moment, a Cayenne arrived at the entrance of the hotel. A paper with the words, ‘Luxury car for rent. Price starting from 3,000 per day’, was stuck to the window of the car.
