Chapter 507
Joe and Faye looked at each other and seemed to have the same thoughts. Then, Joe said, “I have to
discuss this with thepany. But don’t you worry; I will give you a satisfactory answer.”
Joe promised to give a reply to Sophia as soon as possible and hurriedly sent her to the gates of The
Imperial. Sophia then murmured, “The old man was very dissatisfiedst time when you came to our
house to make trouble, so you shouldn’te in this time.”
Upon hearing that, Joe hurriedly agreed, “Alright, alright.”
Under the gazes of the Edwards Family and the Johnson Family, the security guard at the gate of the
residential area respectfully opened the door for Sophia and let her in. Joe looked at The Imperial in all
its magnificence with a longing expression…
That night, he quarreled with his wife. Sophia was just his illegitimate daughter, yet she wanted shares
of thepany. Wouldn’t her status be the same as Faye, their legal child? This was a provocation to
his legal wife and Faye, his legal daughter!
Sophia wasn’t Joe’s only illegitimate daughter. However, Mrs. Edwards would agree to almost anything
as long as she did not threaten the status of herself and her daughter. However, she would never let her
take shares and inherit property of their family!
On the other hand, Joe also had his own opinion. That day, Faye saw that Sophia bought a wedding
dress worth tens of millions and also wore a diamond ring worth the same amount of money. They were
all genuine for sure. It was evident that the old man was filthy rich!
Now, they must help Sophia gain a foothold in that house so that they would have an easy time
snatching away the old man’s wealth in the future! This 5% share was nothingpared to the old man’s
enormous wealth! It would all be worth it in the end!This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
The next day, Joe informed Sophia to sign and go through the formalities. After the paternity test was
completed, Joe quickly went to the notary office for notarization, legally confirming the rtionship
between father and daughter.
Legally speaking, one’s parents, spouse and children were the first in line to inherit one’s wealth. When
the old man died, Sophia and the child would inherit the old man’s enormous wealth and when Sophia is
dead, Joe would be the first in line to inherit her wealth!
Afterward, Joe signed a transfer of 5% of Edwards Group’s shares to Sophia. Uponpleting the
formalities, Joe immediately began to send invitations out, inviting the powerful figures of Bayside City to
attend his reunion banquet. Then, Sophia and Joe discussed the details of their reunion banquet.
“This reunion banquet must be held in a grand manner!” Sophia said as a matter of fact.
“Of course,” Joe agreed.
Faye was watching the duo, jealousy written on her face as she raised her eyebrows and questioned,
“Has your husbande back from White Mountain? Will he be here to attend your reunion banquet?”
The point of the reunion banquet was to trick the old man!
“Of course my husband wille,” Sophia replied. “Otherwise, why would I ask for the banquet to be so
grand? If the reunion banquet is not grand, how would others know that I have a high status in my family
and how can my husband treat me even better? How can I intimidate his mistresses?”
Joe nodded hurriedly in agreement. As long as the old man appeared, Joe could make him go bankrupt
easily!
The invitations were sent out quickly and before long, Stanley, Sean, and Linus all received their
invitations. The Mitchell Family and Natasha also received invitations. Natasha also learned from Faye
that Sophia’s rich husband would appear at the reunion banquet. How could Sophia, an assistant who
cleaned toilets, possibly have a rich husband? She must have borrowed her outfits from Eddie as
well! That b*tch Eddie… I wonder if she will show up for the reunion banquet. After all, Sophia is her
lackey!
Meanwhile, the Harpers and the Huffs also received invitations… The reunion banquet was around the
corner and the Johnson Family still stayed at the Edwards Family’s house. After the banquet, they
wanted to ask Joe to give them money and a house.
Michael also knew about the banquet. Sophia took the invitation back and put it in the living room. It was
specially given to him by Joe but since Joe didn’t know his identity, he didn’t write his name on it. Michael
thought that Sophia was going to finally acknowledge him and publicly reveal her ‘old and ugly’ husband.
Thus, he had started to improve his appearance two days before the banquet, trying to make himself
look younger so that Sophia would not be embarrassed by him.
Unexpectedly, the day before the reunion banquet, Sophia decisively refused Michael’s request to go to
the reunion banquet. “You don’t have to go.”
Michael was puzzled as he asked, “Why not?”
However, Sophia did not answer. That being said, Michael still decided to respect her wishes. Since she
said so, he wouldn’t go. The truth woulde to light sooner orter. One day, others would find out that
Sophia married an old man.
Meanwhile, the reunion banquet was held in the new vi of the Edwards Family. In order to show that
the Edwards Family highly valued Sophia, Joe organized a grand banquet as if he wanted the whole
world to know that he loved Sophia. Even Faye’sing-of-age ceremony was not as grand as the
banquet today. He also invited the Edwards Family’s elders, some movie stars and even Sophia’s
ssmates.
The banquet began and guests appeared one after another. As the star of today’s banquet, Sophia wore
a golden evening gown dripping with diamonds.
The design was such that her back was exposed and the dress outlined her enchanting figure, making
her stand out among the crowd. Wearing emerald green high heels, she received guests with a ss of
wine in hand. As if a spotlight was on her, she was the most eye-catching person tonight.
Almost all of Sophia’s ssmates came and the Edwards Family also sent some representatives to
attend. It showed that the Edwards Family truly cared about the reunion banquet. Meanwhile, Stanley
and Sean hid in a corner drinking.
“Sean, look! Look! How can Sophia look so good? Why didn’t I meet her sooner? Why did she get
married so young?”
Drunk, Stanley hugged Sean and kept rubbing his head on his body. Meanwhile, Sarah stared at the two
of them from the side. Sean felt very helpless. When he saw Sarah’s widened eyes, he knew that he and
Stanley were going to be featured in her erotic novel again. Stanley had no idea how popr he was
among the fujoshis!
Linus also had a drink quietly, watching the reunion banquet with curiosity. He was always one to keep a
low profile. Although his photo was hung on the alumni corridor of the Bayside University, it was not in
high definition and only the sides of his face were shown in the photograph. Thus, he was just an
ordinary international student now.
He was initially preparing to give a lecture at Bayside University, butter decided to stay to study. Thus,
the lecture was canceled. Plus… he didn’t know why he wanted to study at Bayside University. As soon
as he set foot on thisnd, he felt as if someone here was trying to make him stay…
“Hello, Linus.” Natasha stood tall in front of Linus. Today, Natasha didn’t steal Sophia’s limelight. She
was dressed normally and her outfit was very girly, which made her look like a pretty girl brought up in a
family of moderate means. She looked ashamed and had her head lowered.
“I’m really sorry. I left a bad impression on you because of some trivial matters and for that, I feel
ashamed. However, I am very happy to see you here today.” She poured a ss of wine for Linus and
held it with her slender hand, looking at Linus sincerely. Her delicate eyes were even more charming
under the refraction of the wine. “Let’s toast.”
Linus continued to put on his usual gentleman smile, took the wine and clinked his ss with Natasha’s.
He then smiled and said, “Me too. It’s a pleasure to meet you here.”
Upon hearing that, Stanley, who was in Sean’s arms, suddenly got up and shouted, “Damn, Linus, she
wants to flirt with you. You have to be careful!”
