My Dreamy Old Husband

Sophia’s eyes were shining brightly at that point. I already have some personal savings to begin with; coupled with different streams of investments and the stock dividends collected, it is a handsome sum of money! If I were to sum up my assets, I’m already a billionaire!

There are so many zeros that I don’t even know where to look.

Cooper was caught by surprise, and so he just had to ask, “What money in Kuwait? I left that money? Why don’t I know about it?”

At the mention of the money in Kuwait, Michael couldn’t help but smile with an evil expression while explaining to Cooper, “Well, about that money… All those years ago, we found out by chance that you had left a sum of money in Kuwait, which could only be retrieved by a keepsake and a thousand-digit password. Hence, I brought Sophia along to unlock the safety deposit box, and we got the money. Didn’t you know that?”

Michael continued, “At that time, Sophia thought that she would be able to locate you once she retrieved the money, yet you had remained hidden throughout the time. Sophia was heartbroken for a long while back then.”

Cooper’s expression turned steely, and he shot daggers at Michael.

The two of them exchanged menacing glares.

On the other hand, Sophia seemed oblivious to that because she was distracted by money.

Since money played a role now, she approved of Michael more than before, and so she uttered, “Thank you.”

Michael answered while flashing her a smile, “Don’t worry about it; that’s the least I could do.” He paused. “By the way, this is the list of the expenditures for certain projects for the past few years. Apart from the usual expenditures in the companies, you have a periodic donation for the orphanage, and there’s also some monthly expenses for the pandas you adopted. Besides, you have been providing financial aid to a few poor students, including Derek Oak, your junior. You founded Hope Educational Charity in my name; you also provided the follow-up expenses for repairing the roads in the mountain village in my name. Furthermore, you had a great debt of gratitude toward the principal from Riverdale High School, and so I’ve been paying him a visit every month. Last year, I donated a block of infrastructure in Riverdale High School under your name…”

Michael was well-versed with every detail in Sophia’s life. In fact, he was much more informed about her matters than his own.

Sophia had no idea that she had accomplished so many things in the past. What threw her off was that after she left, Michael continued everything on her behalf.

At that moment, Cooper could only glare at Michael in silence.

When she was at the lowest point in her life, he was the one who took her in and gave her the warmth of a family. He gave her the chance to further her studies while enabling her to put her intelligence and wit to good use. Michael was also the one who protected her.

exchange of Sophia’s assets and work folders took up the entire morning, and it was noon soon.
