My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 787

Sophia would basically be exchanging her shops for almost nothing. Six month’s rental income of her shops was more than the house that Sandra was offering.

In Sandra’s mind, Sophia was just the ugly daughter of the ex-family head, while Sandra was Alex’s daughter and the current official family head. Furthermore, she won the world championship and had plenty of connections in the sports and business industry, not to mention she was also engaged to a young master of the Edwards family.

As Sandra thought about it, she was sure that Sophia would definitely give her the two rows of shops.

However, after pretending to consider it for a moment, Sophia replied, “No deal.”

Sandra had tried her best to enter the real social circle of the young madams of the wealthy families and did everything she could to curry favor with them. For instance, Lucy Edwards had always been the target of her attention. If Lucy didn’t personally ask her for a favor, she wouldn’t ask this hideous monster for her shops.

Sandra chuckled before she took another two steps closer to Sophia and said in a soft voice, “Scarlett, you’re new here so you probably don’t know Bayside City’s market. Nowadays, shops are not valuable and the prices won’t rise much; only commercial lots have room for appreciation… Moreover, you have just returned to Bayside City and we’ve only just met. I like those two rows of shops a lot so why don’t you give it to me as a greeting gift? ”

Sandra was determined to get those shops today because she had already promised Lucy. She was the young madam of the Mitchell family and Scarlett was no one. If she couldn’t even get something from this hideous monster, she would be too embarrassed to face Lucy.

However, Sophia was still resolute. “I’m sorry, but I can’t give them to you.”

I’ve embarrassed myself by acting cute in front of Carmen’s father in exchange for money to buy those shops. After holding onto them for several years, their prices are finally starting to appreciate and I’ve just started to make some money. However, Sandra is asking me to give them to her as a greeting gift. I’m still reading my old notes and even though I don’t have the habit of writing diaries, I made accounts for my money. Every single penny I earned, even if I found a five dollar note by the roadside, I would write it down. When I married Carmen’s father at 18, he gave me allowance regularly. I’ve recorded all of it in my accounts and worked hard to save it. All of that is my hard-earned money and I’m not going to give it to her for nothing!

Seeing Sophia’s attitude, Sandra lost her patience. A moment ago, she had on a kind expression but at that instant, she was too impatient to treat her nicely. Sandra decided to get straight to the point and arrogantly threw a pile of contracts at Sophia. “Since you won’t listen to me when I asked nicely, don’t blame me for being rude. Here are the contracts. As long as you sign them and give the two rows of shops to me, I’ll let you and your father enter the Mitchell family genealogy record book!”

Sophia was completely dumbfounded. At that moment, Sandra seemed to be standing on high ground as she crossed her arms and announced, “Even though the Mitchell family is separated, the Mitchell family genealogy record book is still in my father’s hands. Whether or not you and your father’s names can enter the book and be buried in the ancestral grave is up to my father! I’ll only give you one minute to consider.”

Upon hearing that, Sophia was at a loss. She had just returned not long ago and didn’t know much about the Cethos culture. Enter the genealogy book? Be buried in the ancestral grave? It seems if my name isn’t on the book and I can’t be buried in the ancestral grave, I’ll die miserably.

Coincidentally, Cooper had just returned so Sophia hurriedly asked, “Dad, what will happen to us if our names are not in the genealogy record book and we can’t be buried in the ancestral grave?”

Cooper didn’t know what had happened but when he saw the contracts in Sophia’s hands, he solemnly picked them up and glanced at them. Scanning through two pages, he deduced what had happened and looked even more upset, seeming to emit a cold and dark, terrifying aura.
