My Dreamy Old Husband

In the fight to be the licensed agency, Sophia led the team in Plum Technology with great care and hard work. They put a lot of effort into their materials, and they always showed up as a group for negotiations. Apart from all the work they put in as a righteous business competitor, they even pulled the family card by getting Linus and Cooper to put in a few good words about them. As Casper was staying in the Edwards Residence, Sophia even asked him to throw in a few praises about them in front of Alice. They were all doing their best to get the agreement.

Meanwhile, there was some renovation going on at home, and Daniel frequently showed up at the Edwards Residence to guide the process with the use of his divination techniques. Sophia therefore urged him to use his methods to convince Alice. She figured that if he could use his tricks on Cooper, Alice would definitely fall for it. Daniel was clearly troubled by her request, and he finally struck her with a series of harsh truths. “Well… can’t you tell by the current situation? How would Alice possibly allow you to be the sole agency? Do you think she can’t see how wild and ambitious you are? If anything, you’d probably be the first that she’d kick out in comparison to your other competitors. Don’t even think about it. You’ve definitely been eliminated,” he uttered.

Both Alice and Linus were the top competitors to be the next family head. Sophia, on the other hand, couldn’t even be considered a participant in this competition as she wasn’t involved in any of Michel Group’s business yet. However, if she managed to get the position as the licensed agent, it’d mean that she was starting to involve herself in Michel Group’s business. Once her career in Michel Group started budding, she would surely turn more greedy with time; she’d definitely find ways to climb up the hierarchy and would ultimately end up as one of Alice’s competitors.

Wouldn’t Alice be an idiot if she chose Sophia’s team? Alice would clearly be helping her competitor to climb the ranks, then! Even an outsider like Daniel could tell that it would be impossible for Sophia to succeed in becoming the appointed agency. However, Sophia tirelessly insisted on fighting for her opportunity. “I’m working especially hard because I know how slim my chances are. It’s a huge opportunity for me; my dad and my uncle are helping me, but I really need your help too!” she cried.

Daniel waved her off. “What for?! I’m not your dad!”

“You sold me off for 80,000 in the past!” Sophia reminded him.

I’m not close to Alice, and things are a

of a woman Alice is. She’s definitely going to smother an enemy like you while you’re still in your crib. I can’t do much about it.”

Eventually, Sophia succeeded in convincing Daniel to get out of the house. Hence, he had no choice but to bring Casper along to visit his mother at the company, while also acting as an advocate for Sophia. This time, Daniel felt more emotionally conflicted than ever. He’d rather attempt to fool Cooper—he’d be scared, but he’d force himself to do it. On the other hand, he didn’t feel scared to fool Alice, instead, he felt an extremely complicated mess of emotions within him. He didn’t know what to feel about Alice. Had he once been attracted to her? Of course he had

She had been extremely busy for the past few days, and she hadn’t managed to be with her son throughout that period of time. Daniel was the one who had been taking care of him. Alice rubbed her face against Casper’s lovingly before she pulled her son
