My Dreamy Old Husband

Huffs Technology was so badly undermined because of the loss incurred during the fire that it was on the verge of bankruptcy. It was only with the funds from their in-laws, the Edwards and Harpers, did they manage to barely scrape through. However, the Huff Family were now only a shadow of their old selves.

Therefore, it was Xyla’s priority to marry Richard as soon as possible to ensure his family would continue providing them with financial assistance. As long as her family managed to pull through this time, everything else would turn out fine.

She had a gut feeling who the culprit was for the predicament of Huffs Technology. Although she had no solid proof because the culprit’s plan had been airtight, she knew she couldn’t be far off.

Right now, she had to take her revenge on Sophia but her family had no means to help her with that. She wouldn’t pin any hope of getting help from the Harpers either, who weren’t likely to help her deal with Sophia. They were still encouraging Richard to get back together with Sophia so that they could get their hands on the immense wealth she had.

“What? Not only is that b*tch still alive, she didn’t even suffer any injuries?” Faye looked surprised to learn how Sophia had managed to make the narrow escape. “She’s really one hell of a lucky girl,” Faye remarked, her eyes lingering on Xyla.

Putting on a harmless and innocent look, Xyla asked, “Faye, Sophia is your sister. Shouldn’t you be happy to know that she’s still alive?”

Faye snorted in response without saying anything. She had registered to take part in a campus beauty contest which was going to be held soon. To make sure she would shine during the contest, she hired several dancing teachers to give her some last-minute, intensive lessons.

Massaging her thighs, Faye remarked in a crafty tone, “Do you think I have no idea who would be the happiest if that b*tch was to die in that fire? Xyla, do I look stupid to you?”

On the fateful day the fire took place, they tricked Sophia into visiting them. All they wanted was to keep her there as a bait to lure her husband over; they had no intention of getting her killed. The house catching fire all of a sudden was totally unplanned.

Panic-stricken, they managed to get out of the house but they forgot about Sophia’s existence. After an investigation, it was revealed that someone had deliberately set the store room on fire with the intention to kill Sophia, who was stuck in one of the rooms on the third floor.
