My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 156

After the bodyguards who were well-loaded with guns retreated, Ido opened their store again. The customers who had been blocked outside walked into the store while discussing among themselves heatedly.

The news of someone trying out the Imperial Diamond Ring, the most valuable jewelry of the store, was quickly spread around and discussed behind their backs.

In Ido’s car park, just when Sophia mounted her motorbike, Mrs. Harper rushed over to her angrily and insulted her right to her face.

“You b*tch! You just can’t leave the Harpers alone, can you? Go ahead and flaunt yourself! No matter how hard you try to present yourself, don’t you dare wish that I will let you marry into the Harpers!”

She was just utterly humiliated; of course she wouldn’t feel happy about that.

After Sophia put on her helmet, she pushed the visor of the helmet back and asked in confusion, “What did I do? Didn’t you guys ask me to tag along to pick a ring for you? You rich fellas are weird indeed. I was kind enough to provide useful suggestions for your ring, yet you said that I can’t leave you alone. Weirdos!”

With that, she slammed her foot down on the accelerator and sped away on her motorbike.

Mrs. Harper was incredibly upset and annoyed. She didn’t expect that they would fail to pick a wedding ring successfully today. Apart from that, they were also insulted.

The Harper Family’s dignity and reputation is ruined!

After she blamed Sophia, she also vented her anger at Xyla.

This dumb woman! She obviously knew that Sophia is a lowly commoner who can’t even differentiate between diamonds and jades, yet she dragged her along to give opinions.

If she hadn’t done so, we wouldn’t have been humiliated to this extent!

However, when they insulted Sophia just now, Mrs. Harper was quite delighted indeed.

“Stop crying! Let’s go!” Mrs. Harper got into the car angrily, and Xyla followed suit sadly. Although she was sobbing on the surface, she was actually flaring up within.

It was my mistake this time! I can’t believe that Sophia has destroyed my entire reputation!

She is not the old Sophia anymore!

After Sophia took the wedding ring back home, she put Michael’s ring carefully in the safe while she put hers around her neck.

No one would have thought that the Royal Platinum Ring, which value was second to the Imperial Diamond Ring, was hung around such a rugged ball chain necklace around her neck.

She took the ring down and wore it on her hands while turning her hand around to look at it from different angles.

It’s simply stunning!

In fact, on that day they chose the rings, she obviously had her eye on the Imperial Diamond Ring, but it cost 70 million USD. She didn’t even have an idea how much it would cost after converting to their local currency. Although it was too ostentatious to bring that big chunk of rock outside, it was worth a lot of money.

If Michael and I have a huge fight and file for a divorce in the future, I can take the ring and rent it out to museums. With that as income, I wouldn’t have to worry about my livelihood anymore.

However, when she was about to make her decision, she still wavered. Even though the Imperial Diamond Ring was the best, it was lonely—it was not suited to be a wedding ring as it was the only ring in the world. There were no other rings that could match it. In the end, Sophia gave up on the idea and chose the ring that she could only have for the rest of the life—The One.

She was delighted wearing her ring, and she even looked at it in the mirror from various angles.

After Nathan reached home after school, he came to let Sophia know that it was time for lunch. Seeing that she was playing around with the ring, he was furious.

“Hmph!”

After hearing his dissatisfied snort, she immediately went over to hug him. “Nate, you are turning 6 soon. What gift do you want from me?”

Nathan turned around angrily and said, “Nothing.”

However, he was already thinking about the present that he wanted.

What about asking her to top up my game account?

This is a great idea!

Stanley lingered around Villa No.8 like a ghost. Right after he entered the mansion, he looked high and low for his uncle. “Where’s my uncle? Where is he? Where did he go?”

The butler was exasperated upon hearing that, so he told Stanley, who was searching in the closet with his buttocks high up in the air, “Mr. Stanley, no matter what, your uncle can’t possibly be hiding in the closet!”

“Heh, you are right.” Stanley scratched his head with an ugly smile on his face. After seeing Sophia, he quickly asked, “Sophia, when will my uncle be back?”

Sophia looked at him without any expression on her face. “Your uncle is filming in Xoskha. He’s not here now.”

Stanley rushed to her with a huge smile on his face as he grabbed hold of her. “Sophia, dear Sophia, since we are so close, why don’t you tell me more about my uncle’s wife?”

Sophia was immediately vigilant upon hearing that. If he finds out that I’m Michael’s wife, he will definitely kill me.

She pretended to be mysterious. “It’s a top secret.”

“Come on, tell me, Sophia! I promise not to tell anyone about it!”

However, Sophia remained silent. Then, Stanley switched his target to Nathan. “Nate, tell me who your mom is! Tell me now! If you do so, I’ll send you the god-tier equipment on the ‘Swordsman Game’, and I’ll bring you along to level up everyday.”

Nathan snorted disdainfully. “I don’t need that.”

Stanley is a huge blabber! If I tell him today, everyone—including the pets—in the Fletcher Family will know about it tomorrow!

After Stanley pestered him for a long time without much success, he left after having dinner with them.

Right after Stanley left, Hale returned with a black plastic bag full of chips, candy, and some snacks. He placed the big bag right in front of her and said, “Here you go. Boss asked me to buy these for you.”

Sophia looked at the bag of snacks in wonder before rummaging through it. After looking through it, she found an ordinary-looking little box. After she opened it, a bright sparkle shone through the entire room immediately as the rays cast on Sophia’s entire face, almost blinding her eyes.

She stared at the huge diamond ring in the grey box as the ruby-red sparkle reflected off her face.

“I-I-Isn’t this the Imperial Diamond Ring from Ido?”

This entire piece of diamond was perfectly sculptured with an elegant finish without any defects. The entire diamond exuded an imperial vibe. Of course it would, as it was sculpted by dozens of top-tier masters for an entire year! Sophia had just seen it in the morning, so it was difficult for her not to recognize it.

However, she didn’t expect that the Imperial Diamond Ring was placed among a bunch of snacks that was brought back by Hale.

Sophia asked him gingerly, “Did you rob Ido?”

Hale replied solemnly, “After hearing that you wanted the Imperial Diamond Ring, Boss asked me to buy it.”

Buy it?

Sophia almost bit her tongue accidentally.

This is something worth 70 million! In USD! Only a fool would spend 70 million USD on a ring! It’s better to spend this money to buy an entire apartment as investment!

She looked as if she had seen a ghost. “When have I ever said that I wanted it?”

Hale was confused upon hearing that. “Didn’t you say that?”

He took out his phone to play a video, which was one of the surveillance tapes at the hall of Ido. The security guards formed a human wall around the store, blocking everyone outside. Only Xyla, Richard, Mrs. Harper, and Sophia stood within it.

Xyla had a stony look on her face as she pushed the Imperial Diamond Ring to Sophia, who shook her head and said, “Even though I want it very much, I’m broke. I can’t afford this ring, so I’ll pass!”

Hale replayed this several times.

“Even though I want it very much, I’m broke. I can’t afford this ring.”

“Even though I want it very much.”

“I want it very much.”

“I want it.”

“Very much.”

“Much.”

Sophia was speechless upon hearing that.
