My Dreamy Old Husband Chapter 1278

Previously, I threw Betsy out to freeze and I assumed that she would have learned her lesson. Who would have guessed that she would have the audacity to flirt with Harry right in front of me? She is a filthy b*tch!

Sarah stood up abruptly and said, “I need to use the washroom.”

With that, she immediately left and allowed Betsy to become bolder—no, she was already bold when Sarah was around to the point and she even extended her leg under the table to tease Harry.

“Come over here, Carmen. Let me hold you.”

Cooper took Carmen in his arms while bending down to kiss her petite face. By that point, she had already removed the hood and coincidentally, her ponytails could support the eyelids of the frog hoodie.

“Do not ever run away from the kindergarten in secret next time, do you understand me? Today, if Bailey wasn’t the one who picked you up, you could have been sold into the mountains to herd sheep! They might even beat you up every day!”

She responded quietly, “Oh.”

Cooper placed her in his arms while introducing Bailey, who sat across from him, “Here—let me introduce you to him. He is Bailey. Bailey Adams. He is a close friend of mine.”

Sophia, who was sitting beside them, was indignant. Bailey? Why must I address him as Mr. Bailey whereas Carmen addresses him as Bailey?

Carmen greeted sweetly, “Bailey!”

After that, Cooper introduced Betsy and Tiffany. “This is Miss Tiffany whereas she is Betsy.”

Carmen greeted them politely, “Nice to meet you, Miss Tiffany and Betsy.”

Sophia was still in a daze. Does this mean my father has no sense of seniority in his family?

Bailey glanced at Carmen. I didn’t expect her to be Cooper’s granddaughter. No wonder she looks especially familiar.

Cooper continued the discussion with Bailey in a hushed tone while she ended up in Linus’ arms.

The dishes were soon served and everybody started to enjoy the meal. Linus was also looking after Carmen while simultaneously eating his dish.

Tiffany did not eat much; she went to the washroom after barely touching her meal.

In the washroom, she took out Jordan’s name card and rang his number. “Not bad at all. It turns out you are truly Anna’s husband. Tell me, how would you like to work with me?”

Jordan answered in a gravelly and ruthless tone from the other end of the line, “It’s simple—you just have to work with me to suppress Cooper’s business. The only reason why you can’t get married with Cooper is because he is more powerful than you are. However, when Michel Group is slapped with a financial crisis, his only choice is to be married to you to weather through the challenges. With that, you two will naturally end up together.”

Tiffany chuckled upon hearing that. “Huh! I think your goal is to defeat Cooper by using me, isn’t it?” Jordan’s goal is most probably not just to work together with me to land Cooper into a financial crisis. I’m sure he wants to destroy Cooper!

He answered vaguely, “It doesn’t matter what it takes as long as you achieve your goal to marry Cooper, does it?”

She responded, “We’ll see.”

With that, she hung up on the call. Jordan has been able to acknowledge Anna as his wife, which made Cooper give up on her. I would say that in itself had caused my goal to be achieved. However, it seems like Cooper isn’t the type to forget a woman easily. What is so great about Anna? Is she on par with me? She has many sons. Marrying her is equivalent to taking her four sons under his wing. Wouldn’t Cooper worry for his own children?

In any case, why is Jordan adamant that I will work with him to drive Cooper into bankruptcy? How is he confident that Cooper would be left with nothing, but the option of getting married to me in the end?

Do I look like a profiteering person? It is clear that I am truly in love with Cooper… Why does everybody think that I am eyeing his money?

…

At the same time, Sarah had already quietly crawled under the table.

Since the tablecloth was thick, nobody had noticed the petite Sarah, who was underneath the table and crawling toward Harry’s direction.

Underneath the tablecloth, she noticed that everybody was behaving differently.

Sophia had already removed her high heels in silence and allowed her small feet to rest after sustaining torture earlier. After scratching her right leg with her left, she quietly extended her feet on Michael’s lap before his large hands started to caress her beautiful legs in silk pantyhose.

Huh! They seem serious on the surface. Who would have guessed that they are already caressing each other’s legs in private?

Then, Sarah continued to crawl forward and spotted Betsy, who was sitting across from Harry, slithering her feet from her high heels and actively rubbing his legs.

Harry repeatedly moved backward, but he could not afford to lose his temper because he was in a business meeting with Cooper and the representative from the Adams Family. Hence, Harry could only retreat several times.

Sarah lost her temper and quickly crawled toward them in a hurry. Damn you, wench! You, b*tch! Just you wait for me!

Sarah removed Betsy’s shoes upon getting nearer to them.

Betsy was still busy teasing Harry with her leg, so she had no idea that her shoes had been taken away.

Nevertheless, Sarah was not satisfied with merely removing Betsy’s shoes, especially when she had brought a bottle of cooking oil with her. As Sarah poured the whole bottle of oil under Betsy’s legs, she could hear the sound it produced—glug, glug, glug.

Who gave you the permission to seduce my man?

After a while, Sarah returned to the table and she sat beside him.

She had learned a thing or two, so she turned slightly to face Harry. In reality, she extended her leg onto his lap. Hmm? This is rather comfortable! After all, nobody can see me. If Betsy reaches her leg over again, I’ll kick it back to where it belongs!

Betsy tried to reach out with her leg a few times, but Sarah viciously kicked it back instead. Hence, Betsy had no choice, but to retreat sheepishly. However, she could not locate her shoes, but was embarrassed to lift the tablecloth up to search for her high heels since everybody was watching. Hence, she had to be temporarily barefoot. I will not give up. As long as I am around, I’m sure that Harry will nuzzle against my ample G-cup bosom.

Since there were many people sitting at the round table, it so happened that she was seated across from Harry and Sarah.

It was undeniable that Betsy was continuously seducing Harry and even took the initiative to have a small chat with him. “Mr. Ethan, do you have any new films premiering? I can’t wait to watch it!”

He lowered his head to enjoy his meal while ignoring her.

Sarah removed a box of cooked snacks from her bag and opened it up to pick up a chicken claw. Then, she opened it up to pick up a chicken claw. She had a bite of it and alternated it with a sip of red wine; it was obvious that she was immensely enjoying herself.

There was a nearby restaurant called ‘Golden Claw’, which specialized in selling a variety of cooked snacks, such as chicken claws, pork feet, duck fins, duck neck, duck intestines, century eggs, and so on.

She placed the snacks on the table and the delicious scent filled the entire private room.

The Cethosian folks seated at the table reflexively swallowed. It smells delicious!

Sophia grabbed a chicken claw in a hurry too. The chicken claw tastes delicious! Its flesh is juicy, tasty, spicy and chewy too.

“Whoa, chicken claws! Give me one of those!” Stanley rushed over to grab a claw before dipping it in the chili sauce that he brought from home.

However, the foreigners at the table—the three family members of the Adams Family—paled at the sight of the dishes in front of them. Betsy, especially, seemed as if she was about to puke. Oh, my God! Help! They are eating innards and claws! As foreigners, we struggle the most with the fact that the Cethonians eat innards! They are now even munching on animal claws!

Tiffany and Bailey turned as white as a sheet before losing their appetite. They could only watch as the others continued eating.

That was the reason why Bailey did not want to have a meal with Cooper.

I truly do not enjoy eating with Cethonians. From their point of view, everything on earth is categorized into three large groups—edible and delicious, edible, but not delicious, and non-edible and non-palatable items. Delicious foods are cooking ingredients whereas not tasty items are medicinal herbs. As for those non-edible stuff… That would be hardware and construction materials.

My Dreamy Old Husband Chapter 1279

Betsy could no longer endure it. In fact, she was staring at them as if they were eating sh*t!

Sarah ate two chicken claws. Then, she used her chopsticks to pick some duck intestine to compliment her rice. Betsy, who was seated across from her, had a drastic change in her expression—she could not even be bothered to search for her high heels and rose to her full height while being barefoot. However, she never expected to lose her balance and fall the moment she stood up. She realized in horror that the floor was covered with oil!

“Argh!” Betsy, who had fallen onto the ground, screamed in agony. She grabbed onto the tablecloth reflexively, but unexpectedly—

Clink, clank, splash!

She dragged all of the items laid on the table down together with the tablecloth.

Luckily, the tablecloth was rather thick, so everybody had time to respond because it was dragged across the table at a slower speed.

“Oh, sh*t!” Stanley reacted swiftly by snatching the plate of pork’s large intestine that he had his eyes on.

Betsy, who had fallen on all fours, took a lot of effort to stand up. However, she slipped on the oil again and landed on the ground with a loud thud. She had dragged the table cloth along with her this time and all of the dishes fell on her, causing her to be covered with duck intestines, chicken claws, preserved eggs and such. It was not difficult to imagine how disgusted she felt.

Tiffany stood up while slamming the table. “You, fool! Get lost in this instance!” She is nothing like I am. She is truly beyond stupid!

She noticed that Cooper was slightly scowling. To prevent his impression of her from being affected, she ordered her underlings to carry the barefoot Betsy out.

After witnessing the entire event, Master Sam broke the silence. “Let’s switch rooms.”

Harry immediately held onto the plate of Sarah’s chicken claws to head over to the new room to continue with his meal.

After their meal, everybody left together. They were ready to return to their hotel rooms for a rest while getting ready for the fashion show later that afternoon.

Michael sent someone to drive Carmen back to the kindergarten to continue with her lessons, but he did not expect her to cling onto his legs while refusing to leave. Kindergarten classes were also ending for the day, so he had no choice but to take her along. I suppose it’s good to broaden her horizons!

Earlier that morning, Sophia saw many child actors in attendance at the venue. Another guest, who appeared in ‘Where Are We Going, Dad?’ with Michael, brought his child along as well. It turned out that it was normal to bring children along during fashion week.

Michael received a job today, which was to model for the launch of a new men’s clothing line under the JNS Group.

Carmen left with him while looking pleased with herself. After arriving in the hotel room, she opened her bag. Then, she changed into a fashionable piece of clothing that she prepared beforehand. She even asked Nicholas to help her with a new hairstyle.

Michael, who was applying his makeup, turned to look at her. True enough, she had planned this a long time ago!

Sophia still had other matters to attend to, so she vanished the moment she returned to the venue. She still needed to check on the venue and the progress of its preparation.

Since Lucy was the director of the entire fashion week, she also came to inspect the show. Therefore, it was not long before the two of them bumped into each other.

The staff was busy with their allocated tasks since the show was about to start, so everybody was anxiously working on site. After making sure that nobody was around them, the two persons in charge started to chat despite the packed schedule.

“Jordan and Anna’s marriage won’t be favorable for you,” Sophia said to Lucy. Jordan might as well announce and admit to the whole world that there are four young masters in the Edwards Group and it has caused an internal uproar in the family.

It was unfavorable for Lucy to have four legal heirs suddenly competing with her for the inheritance. Besides, she had been unable to settle down for such a long time, so the higher-ups from the JNS Group were unsatisfied with her. After all, she was already past 30 years old.

She did not reveal much. “That is my problem, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

Sophia glanced around before adding, “Well, that naturally has nothing to do with me. It’s just that I’ve seen you support the Edwards Family for many years. I just find it unfair for you because there are a few people competing with you for inheritance suddenly!”

Jordan had already been busy with his other businesses a long time ago. He was merely a puppet in the Edwards Family and was rather useless in his position. From the beginning, Lucy had been involved in the administration within the Edwards Group. She had reformed the Edwards Group in such a way that it allowed the company to further improve itself. Hence, she deserved the most credit within the Edwards Group.

However, Jordan and Anna have now announced the news of their marriage. That means that he has admitted that the four brothers from the Yard Family will embrace their status as the heirs of the Edwards Group.

According to the Cethonian’s tradition, the inheritance is usually passed down to sons within the family…

Lucy was extremely unsatisfied with the turn of events.

Nobody can snatch the empire that I have built with my bare hands!

In the deluxe suite of the State Hotel, Henry wore a dark expression when he spoke to Ryan, “I will never allow the two of them to get married!”

Although Anna was their mother, they did not want her to be married to Jordan.

It doesn’t matter whether we are Jordan’s legitimate children or not. As long as we are Jordan’s descendants, we will have the right to inherit the Edwards’ assets. However, it’s different for Anna. If she doesn’t get married to Jordan, it means that she’s not his legal wife and will not have the right to inherit anything.

In reality, the Yards and the Edwards are Jordan’s descendants. Both of us are the true heirs of both families’ inheritance. Anna and Callum’s siblings do not have the right to inherit that massive sum of inheritance.

Furthermore, once the Ronneys and Edwards are acquainted by marriage, Lucy will also have the right to inherit the Ronney Group!

She might not have the Yard family name, but she is Jordan’s only daughter. What would happen if Jordan supported her by interfering in matters within the Ronney Group?

Wouldn’t there be another person competing with us for the family inheritance?!

Sandra took a lot of effort to get both of us discharged from the hospital. She is now our follower; as long as we tightly cling onto the Yard Group, we don’t have to worry that the Mitchell Group can’t rise again!26658

Sandra also knew about Jordan and Anna’s wedding. That matter was not related to her, but now that she was closely associated with Henry and Ryan, it only made sense for her to be in their shoes—she had to be their loyal follower.

Hence, she immediately suggested, “Our initial plan was to ruin the fashion week to ensure that Lucy and Sophia wouldn’t get what they wanted. Why don’t we follow our original plan to cause chaos at the engagement party? Let’s discuss the rest of it at another time.”

Both Henry and Ryan thought that it was a great plan. The two of them are about to get engaged soon, so we cannot allow the engagement party to go ahead as planned.

“You shall be in charge of this matter. You need to handle this well!”

0

She answered immediately, “Yes!” Since the morning session did not go as planned, I will personally attend to the matter this time. I have to ruin their engagement ceremony!0

Meanwhile, in Anna’s lounge, there was no denying that it was Jordan’s last minute decision because nobody was informed beforehand. Therefore, both the Edwards Family and the organizer of the fashion week were caught by surprise because it was not in line with Jordan’s usual cautious style.

Jordan was anxiously preparing for the engagement ceremony. The originally planned fashion party for the Ronney Fashion Week was switched to an engagement ceremony at the eleventh hour. Nevertheless, the lineup remained unchanged.

Callum and Cade had already changed their clothes, which gave them a new look. They came over to bid adieu for the show.

“Mother, we are leaving for the show.”

The afternoon session belonged to the JNS Group as they were hosting their fashion news conference. Anna was originally supposed to attend the event with Cooper, but Jordan’s appearance had disrupted all of her plans. Hence, she had no choice, but to allow Callum and Cade to attend the show.

She sat by the window and stared out of it. The evening gown for the engagement ceremony was hanging on one side, but she did not feel like changing into it despite the long delay. She was still wearing the clothes that she was in from the morning show.

It was a shame that even the most gorgeous clothes could not conceal the loneliness deep down in her heart.

She sat by the window while staring at the dark, gloomy sky outside. The lounge was dark because she did not switch on the lights. Her figure seemed to have been glued to the window frame, appearing as though the darkness could engulf her anytime soon. I am not happy at all. I don’t want to get engaged, let alone be engaged to Jordan…
