My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 986

Stanley continued to taunt Vincent aggressively and said, “What is it? Are you here to tearfully ask my aunt for a refund? It’s alright—it’s just a car. I’ll just go up right away and ask her to return the money to you. You don’t have to worry since she’s very fond of you. After all, she is your great-aunt.”

The 100-million luxury car used to be the apple of his eye, but it was now a disgrace to him. He still remembered how the car’s price had been driven up to an exorbitant price of 100 million!

Sean knew that Vincent had suffered a blow to his pride on that day, and he found it rude to deal the latter with another blow while looking at Vincent’s pitiful appearance. He comforted Vincent by saying, “It’s alright. Sophia has joined the Michel Family after Uncle Cooper, but she’s still your great-aunt no matter what. She’ll surely return the money to you since you’re a younger member of the family.”

He seemed to be comforting Vincent, but the note of ridicule in his voice was evident.

However, Vincent was reaching for the stars back then. He kept a low profile at university, devoting himself to his studies and taking part in the Mitchell Family’s affairs early on. Also, he distanced himself from Stanley and Sean, whom he viewed as two good-for-nothings who only knew how to play online games. Contrary to his expectations, everyone’s circumstances had changed after so many years.

In the end, Vincent left the building as he wiped the tears away from his reddened eyes. After going back, he got himself drunk. Feeling that his life had been turned upside down, he’d never be able to recover from the shock. Seeing that he was hit badly, Sandra abandoned him in disgust.

What a useless thing—he ended up like this just because a woman scammed him out of a bit of money!

Sandra was burning with anxiety right now. Knowing that she had fallen into a scam and offended Alice, she knew that she had to make up for this.

D*mn it! I was scammed out of so much money by a con artist!

In the Michel Group’s office building, Sean, Derek, and Stanley laughed and joked as they commented on how embarrassed Vincent looked just now while going up to the 18th floor to see Linus.

Plum Technology and Michel Group were joining hands to launch a cutting-edge gaming laptop, and the two companies were now discussing the contract.

On the 18th floor, Sophia was extremely pleased as she recalled how Vincent had left tearfully in deep dejection just now.

Vincent had truly never suffered such a devastating setback. For a person like him, a major setback could cost him his life.

Feeling happy, Sophia became mischievous all of a sudden. She raised her hand and turned toward Linus before saying, “Come on, Uncle Linus—let’s give each other a high five!”

She wouldn’t have reduced Vincent to tears on this day without Linus’ help.

Of course, most of the credit belonged to her. After catching the fake Lucile that day, she told her to con Vincent and Sandra for one last time. Not only did she have the fake Lucile sleep with Vincent, she deliberately instructed her to promise the Mitchell Family and give them rights to the Dragon Eye agency contract. Also, she had the fake Lucile describe Alice as a completely worthless person who harbored evil intentions. Wanting to display her ability in front of the fake Lucile, Sandra foolishly confronted Alice face-to-face.

That way, the Mitchell Family was no longer in the running for the agency contract with Dragon Eye.

Linus shook his head while looking at her dotingly. Then, he raised his hand and gave her a high five in resignation.

“Yeah! Now that I have finished off two competitors, three competitors are left to be dealt with. I’ll deal with them soon!” Sophia clapped her hands happily like a child who had gotten some candies. Then, she tossed the handbag she was holding into Linus’ arms and said, “Please excuse me—I’ll be going to the restroom for a bit. If Stanley arrives, you can talk to him first.”

She was already several meters away when the handbag fell into Linus’ arms. Linus looked at her and laughed dotingly as she walked away happily.

She’s really like a kid… She’s the same as when she was attending university.

Sophia had just left when Alice popped up behind Linus before he even realized it. Alice looked fine; she had recovered quite well after Sandra almost hurt her carelessly a few days ago. Holding her cup of coffee, she gently took a sip of it.
