My Dreamy Old Husband

Sophia paused for a moment before she continued, “Also, I own this entire row of shops and the row across where your store King is. We have signed a one-year contract with your store, which I won’t be renewing. When it expires, please move out immediately.”

When she took back her assets, she found out that this commercial area was developed six months ago. Not only that, it was developed by a company that was under Michael. When she learned of this, she bought two rows of shops through connections and now, they were all developed.

Not only did she get back her capital, the shops’ value had also increased a lot. As such, she was making a profit every day.

Michael discovered the assets in Kuwait a few years ago and opened up a company specifically to manage the money. When Sophia ‘died’, Michael had transferred all of her assets to this company for efficient management. In recent years, the money accumulated and Sophia got a handsome amount of money upon her return.

“Lucy Edwards, Miss Lucy, the vice president of Edwards Group. I know.”

In one breath, Sophia finished the rest of Bill’s sentence. After putting down the puppy, she stood up and a powerful aura radiated from her petite body, her blue eyes stormy.

In Cethosian language, she spoke each word clearly. “I’m not selling this shop and I’m not renewing your tenancy. When it expires, please move out; I don’t care if your boss is Lucy Edwards or the King himself. Also, Bill Winterford, it is embarrassing that a copycat like you could make a living in the Cethosian fashion industry. In Cethos, we have a name for people like you—foreign trash.”

As Sophia spoke, Bill became angry and embarrassed. His handsome face contorted in anger as he rudely pointed his finger at Sophia. In a tone that was more blunt and threatening than when he was on the phone earlier, he snarled, “Miss Lucile, I hope you won’t regret what you said today!”

Sophia, however, looked straight at him and retorted, “Don’t worry. I keep my promises, especially to copycats. I won’t go back on my word.”

Then, Bill stormed out of the store.

Everything became quiet in an instant.

Calmly, Sophia sat back down and continued reading the store’s work log and the operations over the years, on and off petting the Husky.

Feeling uneasy, Ivan came over. “You know, Lucy Edwards is the investor in King—”

He was worried about the consequences if Lucy found out about what went down today.
