Chapter 271
Under the harmonious atmosphere, the charity banquet finally began, and the auction started.
Ethan felt helpless and desperate for being forced by Michael to hold this charity auction dinner.
But since he had organized it, he had to at least auction off a few items, even if it was done half-
heartedly.
The first item was his personal watch, which was custom-made by a manufacturer a few years ago. The
moment the auction of this item began, everyonepeted to get it.
Then, a few items were auctioned off one by one, for instance, a gaming keyboard that he no longer
used, his outfit that he wore when he won the Oscars Best Actor Award, the cor of a dog that went
bold due to Michael’s jinx, and also the rm clock that he resented for waking him up every day. All
the misceneous items were auctioned off, as if he was selling scrap.
As long as it was something that he had used before—even if it was his underwear—there would be
someone scrambling for it.
The auction went smoothly. The moment an item was opened for auction, it would be purchased with
high price by some rich guest almost instantly.
Michael even wrote an impromptu piece of calligraphy to serve as an auction item today.
This was the first time Michael showed his skills of writing calligraphy. When the sharp and well-defined
calligraphy piece was exposed in front of the public, everyone was astonished.
His calligraphy skills were unexpectedly great!
In the end, the calligraphy was auctioned off with the price of 1 million.
After the auction ended, the banquet began. Sophia held Nathan’s little hand and randomly found a seat.
The charity banquet tonight had managed to raise arge amount of funds, and all of it would be donated
to programs under the Hope Educational Fund.
The banquet finally began. Stanley shamelessly insisted on sitting next to Sophia and kept putting food
onto her te. Joel couldn’t bear to continue watching and again reminded him, “Stanley, behave
yourself!”
He’s like the reincarnation of a perverted ghost!
Nathan red furiously at Stanley, attempting to stop him from getting closer to Sophia.
Meanwhile, Faye was excitedly heading to the direction of X and Richard, as if she had just received
great news. “X, is it true that Sophia was born in the outskirts of Riverdale?”
Puzzled, Richard answered, “Yes. What’s up?”
Richard knew about Sophia’s background. She was born to a family named Edwards in the outskirts of
Riverdale. Her family were farmers, and she had lost her parents since young. She was destitute.
But why would Faye ask this question now?
Faye uttered delightfully, “I just heard this from my father. Twenty years ago, when my mother was
pregnant with me, a nanny at our house figured out a way to get pregnant with my father’s child in an
attempt to ckmail him, but she was then driven away by my mother. After the woman returned to her
hometown, she passed away after giving birth to a daughter, and the daughter was Sophia Edwards!”
Richard and X were stunned. They had never expected that Sophia was Joe’s illegitimate daughter,
which would make her Faye’s sister.
However, Faye then unexpectedly told them another piece of shocking news. “After the wild chick was
driven out of Riverdale High School, she found her way to my house. My father then had her marry an
ugly, disabled old man! And Daniel Levine was the middle man!”
This is really shocking news!
Hearing that, X was overjoyed. No wonder she was nowhere to be found after she left Riverdale. It
turns out that she went to look for her birth father, Joe. This exins why she has the money to attend
Bayside University, and why she’s so arrogant! It turns out that she’s married to an old man! This is really
karma!
Richard fell into a deep silence after listening.
X, on the other hand,ughed ‘innocently’. “Hey, if that’s the case, she’d be my cousin. It turns out that
we are family!”
An extremely wicked idea suddenly popped into her mind. She then held Richard’s arm. “It turns out that
Sophia’s our rtive. This is really unexpected. How about we go and greet her now?” She couldn’t wait
for everyone to know that Sophia was married to an ugly old man!
Halfway through the banquet, Sophia stopped eating after having two bites because she intended to
have dinner together with her idol when they returned home after the banquet. When she was holding a
mirror to touch up her makeup, a loud voice of a middle-aged man was suddenly heard from behind her.
“Sophia! My daughter! You are actually here. I’ve been looking for you!”
At that moment, Sophia’s expression was freezing cold. She calmly put down the makeup mirror in her
hand, but her body remained still.
Stanley, who was eating, stood up in shock. “What? My father-inw is here?” He turned around and saw
a bald, fat middle-aged man standing behind Sophia. The flesh on the man squeezed his eyes into a fine
line.
Stanley’s eyes were filled with disbelief. “You are Sophia’s father?” What kind of gorgeous beauty did this
fat b*stard marry to be able to have such a beautiful daughter?
Joel turned toward the oversized man. This is Sophia’s father?
Joe rubbed his hand as he stood behind Sophia. He had never thought that the daughter he had sold
would be so beautiful today!
At that time, he was really driven into a corner. All the fortune tellers said that the energy of his house
and the horoscopes of his children were not pleasant, so he had people to check them out, but they
couldn’t find any problem with them. In the end, he had the horoscopes of all his illegitimate children
checked and finally found out that it was Sophia, this jinx, who ruined his birth chart!
After he got rid of her, his entire careerpletely changed, which confirmed that Sophia was the jinx.
However, he had never expected that the ugly, darkplexioned illegitimate daughter from two years
ago would be so beautiful!
Sophia finally stood up. She turned around and calmly looked at this fat man before a stiff word escaped
her lips—“Father.”
It was ‘father’, not ‘daddy’. ‘Daddy’ was an endearment, but ‘father’ was merely a description of a
rtionship.
Joe was even more astonished when he looked at Sophia from a close distance. Rubbing his hands, he
grinned so hard that his eyes squinted. “You really look like your mother!”
Sophia’s mother was still vivid in Joe’s memory. She was only 18 when she came to the Edwards
residence to work as a nanny. She was stunning, looking just like a little fairy. It would be impossible forExclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.
Joe to not have any intention toward her when such a beautiful nanny kept appearing before him. On top
of that, his wife was pregnant at that time. He was sexually frustrated, so he kept coveting to have a
taste of that young nanny.
The ungrateful young nanny pretended to be chaste and refused to give in to me. But in the end, I still
managed to make her moan under me.
Unfortunately, Faye’s mother found out about it after that, and she was driven away after an intense
beating.
Because of this, Joe couldn’t forget about her for quite some time.
And now, the Sophia before him looked exactly the same as her mother!
Upon seeing that Sophia had admitted, Faye impatiently walked up to her and held her hands warmly. “It
turns out that you are really my sister! My daddy said that you are married. Where’s your husband? Why
didn’t you bring him here?” She didn’t wait for Sophia to reply. “I know that your husband is an ugly and
disabled old man, who is even older than my father; you must be embarrassed to take him out. But he’s
still the man you share a bed with after all! Where’s your husband? Ask him toe out to let me have a
look at him!”
Stanley was dumbfounded. “Sophia, you are actually married to an old man?”
Faye adamantly nodded. “I bet that you guys didn’t know about it too. She got married two years ago
when she was just 18; she got married to an old man!”
