Chapter 157


    Obviously, this was just a pretentiousment 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 X 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 surveince 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.


    Hale even gave her a little lecture on this. “Boss said that money is not an issue for him. If you have


    anything that you can’t afford, you can just talk to him, or just buy it and im the bill under his name.”


    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 regrly. 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 ount, 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 thergest


    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 X’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 ssmates during a lecture.


    “I heard that X tried on the Imperial Diamond Ring of Ido, the Eternal Love. Hah! I can’t believe she


    has no limits when ites 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 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 unting their love in public. On top of


    that, every time they tried to unt 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 ssmates went to Sophia to ask her about


    this.


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


    “Sophia, did you know about the value of the Imperial Diamond Ring before this and deliberately did this


    to humiliate X?”


    While revising the lectures, Sophia heard someone talking to her and took off her headphones with a


    nk 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 tough. This time around, Sophia had identally humiliated


    X. Hence, someone exined to Sophia about the backstory of this ring kindly. Since Ido had gotten


    the Imperial Diamond Ring, they ced 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


    X had the audacity to try the Imperial Diamond Ring of Ido.


    Upon hearing their exnation, 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 mboyant 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 rk, 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—stoping to my sses! 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 yputer 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 theputer


    room of the School of Computer Science. Theputers in the School of Computer Science of Bayside


    University were quite advanced. The hardwares was top-notch, and the inte speed was quite fast as


    well.


    Once Nathan entered the room, he switched on theputer 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. Thest


    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 ount and killed people mercilessly in the game.


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