My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 157

Obviously, this was just a pretentious comment she made. Sophia knew very well the value of the Imperial Diamond Ring. Even though the Harper Family could afford it, they wouldn’t splurge on such an item. Sophia just wanted to humiliate Xyla at that moment. I didn’t really want to buy it! Alright, I wanted it, but the thought of buying it has never crossed my mind!

Sophia was so shocked that she looked as if she was struck by lightning. After a pause, she asked, “So, when Boss saw this surveillance tape, he bought it for me thinking that I like it, but I can’t afford it?”

Hale nodded honestly. “Isn’t that the case?”

Sophia was speechless upon hearing that. Rich people are so wilful.

The corner of Sophia’s lips twitched when she heard that. Now that he had bought the Imperial Diamond Ring, it was impossible to return it. On top of that, it would be a waste to just leave it there. Although Sophia liked it, it was impossible to wear it out regularly. It was better to use it to earn more money. Hence, she told Hale, “Find a museum for me tomorrow and rent this out to them. Ask them to bank in the rent to my account, and I’ll give you 10% of it as your bonus.”

Hale looked at her without any expression on his face.

The next day, he started to check out different museums. This ring was made from one of the largest rubies on earth, and it was a whole diamond, so it was a rare item. It was not a problem to rent it out to any museums to exhibit it.

The story of Xyla’s arrogant attempt to try on the Imperial Diamond Ring had spread around the elite circle of Bayside University in no time. Sophia even heard about it from her classmates during a lecture.

“I heard that Xyla tried on the Imperial Diamond Ring of Ido, the Eternal Love. Hah! I can’t believe she has no limits when it comes to showing off!”

“Doesn’t she know her worth? Huffs Technology is just mediocre in Riverdale. Even though the Harper Family were listed and brought some benefits to Huffs Technology, her net worth remains the same!”

During the military training, the story of Sophia retaliating against her ex and his current girlfriend had spread like wildfire. Everyone was sick of the couple who kept flaunting their love in public. On top of that, every time they tried to flaunt in front of Sophia, she would retaliate and leave them no mercy. Even so, they were willing to do the same thing over and over again in front of her, as if they wanted to be humiliated by her, including that instance.

During the gap between lectures, everyone was discussing this matter excitedly. After the military training, everyone had gotten closer to each other, so a few classmates went to Sophia to ask her about this.

“I heard that the expressions of the Harpers changed immediately, and Mrs. Harper even told Xyla off!”

“Sophia, did you know about the value of the Imperial Diamond Ring before this and deliberately did this to humiliate Xyla?”

While revising the lectures, Sophia heard someone talking to her and took off her headphones with a blank look on her face. “What Imperial Diamond Ring? I have no idea about that. I was just sending food delivery in that area, and they deliberately dragged me over to look at engagement rings, so I helped them out kindheartedly. Unexpectedly, they scolded me even though I helped them to pick out a suitable one.”

Everyone covered their mouth, trying not to laugh. This time around, Sophia had accidentally humiliated Xyla. Hence, someone explained to Sophia about the backstory of this ring kindly. Since Ido had gotten the Imperial Diamond Ring, they placed it in their main hall as the crown jewel, and no one dared to buy it. However, there were many who had tried it on.

The people who tried it on came from impressive backgrounds. The Young Lady of the Winston Family, the fiancée of the Fletcher Family, the daughter of the president, some princesses abroad… In a nutshell, each and every one who tried it had powerful backgrounds. Hence, everyone wondered how Xyla had the audacity to try the Imperial Diamond Ring of Ido.

Upon hearing their explanation, Sophia nodded, as if it was the first time she heard of this. Everyone was chattering away happily until someone changed the topic. “Sophia, where’s your boyfriend?”

Right after that question was asked, everyone was immediately interested. “Your boyfriend is so handsome! Can you ask if he has any siblings? If so, remember to introduce them to me!”

“He’s Stanley Fletcher from the School of Computer Science! Gosh, he’s really good-looking! I heard that after he retired from the military, he came back to university. Not only does he have a pair of long legs and good looks, he also obtained 99 marks for his military training! Sophia, where did you find him? Give me a hint—I also want someone like that!”

Sophia was speechless after hearing that, but she would not admit that Stanley was her boyfriend. However, having a boyfriend was better than being single, lest Richard would think that she was staying single for him.

While everyone was discussing Sophia’s boyfriend excitedly, Stanley appeared. “Sophie, let’s go out to have fun! The Winter Solstice event of the ‘Swordsman Game’ is here again! You can get double the experience you gain during that period, and the probability of encountering god-tier weapons is also much higher!” Wearing a shirt that was quite flamboyant with alphabets printed on top, Stanley stood at the door of Sophia’s lecture hall.

Sophia cowered in a corner as she replied, “No, thanks. I have to take this lecture. The lecturer is taking our attendance.”

Suddenly, everyone fell silent at the same time. They covered their mouths while chuckling furtively as they pushed Sophia out. “Sophia, don’t worry about that and just go! The next lecture will be given by Professor Clark, so there’ll be many people here. Don’t worry about it—I will ask someone to take attendance for you!”

“Go, go! We will help you with the attendance!”

Seeing that she had been staying at the same spot for a while, Stanley directly walked into the lecture hall himself. The number of male students in their cohort was quite few to begin with, and most of them were quite feminine. Once Stanley walked in, his 1.8-meter figure immediately made him stand out from the rest while he looked at them from his impressive height. Apart from that, his shiny shaved head also stood out immediately.

“You are a genius! There’s nothing to be worried about by just missing a lecture. Come on!” Stanley took Sophia’s bag and walked away, forcing her to chase after him.

“Stanley, I’m warning you—stop coming to my classes! If your uncle finds out about this, he would break your leg!”

“There’s nothing to be afraid of! He dotes on me the most!”

Then, both of them walked away while bickering with each other. Right after they left, a little head poked into the lecture hall and looked inside curiously, as if he was looking for someone. Seeing the fair, pinkish face, all the girls in the hall surrounded him immediately and caressed his hair and face. “Nate, are you looking for your mommy? She’s out to the cyber cafe!”

“Yeah, she went out with her boyfriend, Stanley!”

“Hey, Nate, your mom needs to have a dating life! You can’t be so clingy forever!”

As soon as he heard that Sophia went to play computer games without bringing him along—and more importantly, she went with Stanley—his face puffed up in annoyance as he left unhappily.

He did not go home, nor did he go to look for Sophia. Instead, he merely went back to the computer room of the School of Computer Science. The computers in the School of Computer Science of Bayside University were quite advanced. The hardwares was top-notch, and the internet speed was quite fast as well.

Once Nathan entered the room, he switched on the computer and stuck his pen drive with plug-ins into the ports. After that, he activated the plug-in and logged on to the game without any errors. Gary, who was standing behind him, knew that he must be up to something after seeing his angry look. The last time he got this angry was when he encountered a snake in the military camp. Worried about him, Michael forcefully brought him back to Bayside City. For the few days he was stuck at home, Nathan logged on to Sophia’s account and killed people mercilessly in the game.

Is he going to kill everyone again? Why is this kid so violent?
