The rich ladies were all dumbfounded.
It costs 13.143344 million? Isnât that even more expensive than the bridal gown of the Harper Familyâ¦
No, itâs more expensive than the gown of any of our familiesâ! And itâs a door-to-door service provided by the⦠lead bridal gown designer, Dave?
Sophia reached out her hand and took the receipt before keeping it into her handbag, which she bought for 50 from a street stall.
The rich ladies immediately spotted the unnoticeable ring on her fingerâit was actually a wedding ring from âThe Oneâ series by Ido. The Ido Company previously officially announced that they had sold a pair of rings with a sky-high price, but they didnât reveal the purchaserâs identity. It turned out that the buyer was actually this low-profile young lady before their eyes!
Which rich guy is she married to?
Sophia kept the receipt and spoke to the salesperson in a calm tone, âAlright. My husband is usually busy with his work, and he is not at home most of the time. Please inform us in advance when the designer will be visiting so that my husband can make early arrangements for his schedule.â
The salesperson immediately nodded. âSure. There wonât be any problem from our side with Dave; you can make an appointment with him at any time. It mainly depends on the schedule of you and your husband.â
Sophia replied. âOkay. No worries. We will select a day thatâs convenient for everyone.â
The rich ladies, who were watching them, were pissed off. As a renowned bridal gown designer, it was extremely difficult to make an appointment with Daveâeven paying him a hefty amount of money couldnât pull that off. There were rumors that he was fully booked until next year. Therefore, who was that young lady to be able to make an appointment with him at any time?
Nonetheless, everyone was clear of the reason she was able to do thatâthe diamond ring and the receipt of the bridal gown that cost millions in her hands proved everything!
At that moment, Xyla was stupefied, unable to believe everything she had seen until now.
Isnât she merely a nanny? Where did she get the money to buy such an expensive diamond ring and bridal gown? No⦠no! She must have conspired with Idoâs salesperson and deliberately put on a show!
A pathetic and poor b*tch like her should just live among the thrash!
All of a sudden, a group of people arrived hurriedly outside the door. A heroic-looking man in military uniform entered the store in large strides.
âMadam, General Fletcher has come to pick you up in person,â Gemma whispered by Sophiaâs ear.
Sophia raised her head and looked at Joel and the group of soldiers behind him.
Is there a need for him to make such a grand pomp? Old Master Fletcher actually asked Joel to come and pick me up!
Joel directly uttered, âCome with me. The old man had been talking about you since morning.â
She nodded and politely thanked him. âThank you, General.â
Joel replied, âWe are a family. You can save the courtesy.â
He then turned to leave. His tall figure gradually disappeared from the eyes of the bunch of rich women, and Sophia followed behind him while her bodyguards slowly dispersed as well.
Some time after they had left, one of the rich women had a sudden realization. âOh, my! Wasnât the man just now Major General Joel? The Joel from the Fletcher Family, who is the biological grandson of Mark Fletcher!â
The rich women instantly burst into an uproar. Those who knew Joel found the scene earlier unbelievable. A big shot like him actually came in person to pick someone up?
Xyla, who was standing in the middle of the hall, was astounded. She suddenly felt as if she had been given a tight slap on her face; the pain was so intense that it numbed her, and she could feel as if every single cell of her body was throbbing in pain.
Faye and Richard, on the other hand, were contemplating the matter.
Who is she married to? They had initially thought that Sophia was married to an old man, who was an insignificant member of the Fletcher Family. However, her appearance in the film set as Taylorâs nanny had disproved all their speculations, yet the scene today caused her identity to become even more mysterious. Which coal owner is she actually married to?
Faye immediately called home. It turns out that Sophia is really married to a nouveau riche. He must be somebody with a great background to be able to have the General to personally come to pick her up!
Soon, Sophia arrived at the military compound. She was nervous, without any idea on what to say to Old Master Fletcher.
As soon as she arrived, Woody excitedly ran out. âCoop, you are back! Youâve worked hard, havenât you?â
Seeing that, Mark sighed. Why is Michael able to marry such a young lady? This doesnât make sense at all! They have an age difference of over ten years! My most perfect plan had been to have Michaelâs sister, Celine, marry Cooper, but who could have guessed that she didnât get to marry Cooper, while Michael ended up marrying Cooperâs daughter! The familial ties are now a huge mess! However, there was nothing he could say when things had reached this point.
âYou need to tell me if he doesnât treat you well! When Iâm gone, you can tell my son instead. The entire Fletcher Family will protect you!â
Sophia shrank back and nodded. I wonder who actually is my natal family.
She stayed at the military compound until the evening. After dinnertime, Michael sent someone to pick her up.
Looking at Sophia leaving from Old Master Fletcherâs place, Joelâs deep eyes became dark.
I wonder why that little girlâs face keeps appearing in my mind from time to time. Only God knows how glad I was when I suddenly received the old manâs order to go and pick her up! Why is this happening to me?
âJoel, Old Master Fletcher seems to like this young lady a lot. Who is she?â Irene curiously asked after standing next to Joel for some time. Even she noticed that Old Master Fletcher seemed to treat Sophia differently.
The news that the Old Master had set up a blind date for Sophia with great fanfare had been spread all over within the Fletcher Family, causing everyone to guess her identity.
Could it be that sheâs the child of one of Old Master Fletcherâs old friends?
âSheâs Michaelâs wife,â he replied before turning to leave.
Michaelâs⦠wife? Irene stood there in a daze, thinking about Joelâs answer. That young lady is actually Michaelâs wife? The Eddie Fletcher that everyone has been talking about? Thatâs her? She was suddenly consumed by rage! Sheâs unworthy to be Michaelâs wife! The only person who will make a good match to Michael in this world is me!
As a matter of a fact, Irene had not lost her memories. That was just a tactic she came up with in order to leave Michael!
Years ago, when Michael was still part of the Special Operation Squadron, Old Master Fletcher had high hopes for him. As he was also very talented and had made a lot of remarkable achievements, he was promoted rapidly and had a bright future. If nothing had gone wrong, he would have become the youngest Major General in the history of Cethos. However, after that, he actually left the army in order to give the opportunity to his sister. He intentionally made a mistake that was so huge that even Old Master Fletcher couldnât help keep him in the army. After he had been discharged, he started acting while studying.
Due to the fact that his mother was a porn star, Michael and his sisterâs identities in the Fletcher Family had been extremely sensitiveâin fact, a lot of their family members had been clueless about their presence, and they had been ostracized by the elders of the family since young. Therefore, when he had intentionally made a mistake so that he could be discharged from the military, he had lost the qualification to return to the Fletcher main residence. He dared not to even use his real name when he was braving the outside world.
His sister ended up better than he didâher heroic sacrifice brought her honor and the Fletcher Familyâs acknowledgement. As for Michael, he was still in college when he was 23! He even debuted in a movie as a newbie and adopted Nathen, who was a burden, after his sister had passed away!
Irene couldnât see any hope in Michael, and at the same time, Joel, who had a bright future, started to intensely pursue her! Even an idiot would know who would be a better choice!
