My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 80

However, Juliette was not a fool too. Since Sophia immediately found out that she was the culprit and even knew about the nails and the diamond necklace, her previous confrontations with the Harper Family popped into Juliette’s mind.

Although Sophia seemed like an absurd joke at Bayside University, she had actually won every single time if one looked closely into it. Moreover, she had never been bullied since coming to the barracks and had even managed to get Richard back.

Her words might be true—she’s even more ruthless than Kayla and Xyla.

The kid named Nathan seems to have a powerful backing too.

‘Fletcher’ is most certainly a terrifying last name…

Since the barracks had surveillance cameras everywhere, Sophia knew about Juliette’s wrongdoings a long time ago. After all, nobody was able to hide their actions from the cameras, and Sophie was merely holding herself back from getting revenge. Now that they were in military training, her main objective was to get a high score and had no wish to waste her time with those people.

Nonetheless, this did not mean that she could tolerate their bullying time after time.

It seems like the Harper Family is loaded with money; five hundred million is still insufficient for them to remember their lessons.

Juliette went to look for Kayla after failing her task.

“How did it go? Have you done it? Is that b*tch disfigured now?” Kayla asked expectantly while holding Juliette firmly.

Juliette lowered her head and said softly, “I did it, but the insects were on her body instead of her face. So, we can’t really see it…”

“What?” Kayla exclaimed and pushed Juliette to the ground, giving her a few hard kicks.

Juliette remained silent and did not dare to fight back.

“You’re a piece of trash! Why can’t you even settle such a minor issue?” Kayla was boiling with anger. She was not going to give up until Sophia was disfigured.

After she calmed herself down, she stopped venting her anger on Juliette because she was still useful to her. It’s better to keep her first since Sophia still thinks of her as her best friend, Kayla thought to herself. She then said, “You may go back now. I’ll look for you next time.”

Juliette scurried away.

Not daring to offend both the Harper and the Huff Family, Juliette could not stop her tears from falling on her way back. Nonetheless, Sophia looks more threatening than them…

In the blink of an eye, it was already the twelfth day of their training. Sophia was more or less clear about every rule in the barracks, so she was even stricter on herself and grabbed every opportunity to gain extra points. Additionally, she had high expectations for her company as she could not let her team points fall behind too. Based on Nathan’s information about the internal situation, her company seemed to remain in the first place and their points far exceeded the other companies; Nathan had been reporting every drill instructor’s conversation he’d eavesdropped on to Sophia.

Nathan was undoubtedly her best helper!

When everyone returned to the dormitory after a day of training, they were either sleeping, talking, or visiting other people’s rooms. At this moment, Nathan had just finished taking a shower at the male bathText © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

and was all wet. Since Sophia was not back from the showers, he took a towel and wiped his hair by himself.

All of a sudden, a girl beside the windows screamed, “Ah! A snake!”

A black figure made its way in from the windows. A long black-tail snake slithered in and moved around the dormitory upon coming inside, which frightened all the girls in the dormitory and Nathan as well. Although he behaved as though a young man, he was still afraid of the snake and started crying upon seeing it, not daring to move an inch.

Everyone in the room freaked out, and they rushed outside while screaming and crying. Soon, Nathan was the only one left in the room and the black-tail snake slithered toward him.

“Nate!” All of a sudden, Sophia appeared and screamed when she saw that snake.

Nathan turned his head around and saw Sophia. With her hair still wet, she came into the room with a basin and ran toward him. She threw the basin at the snake with a thud, crushing the reptile who was going for Nathan.

“Mommy!”

Terrified for his life, Nathan ran toward Sophia and held onto her leg.

Sophia was startled. Apart from using his charm in front of Michael, this was Nathan’s first time calling her mommy voluntarily.

“It’s okay, Darling. Mommy’s here, so you don’t have to cry anymore.” Sophia quickly hugged Nathan and consoled him.

That creature scared her too, and she had no idea where she got the courage to protect Nathan by crushing it with the basin.

Nathan seemed to have been completely freaked out by it. He continued to howl even after Sophia had been consoling him for a long time.

Soon enough, the management of the dormitory learned about the news and sent someone over to bring the snake away. When the girls who had escaped earlier came back and saw a pool of blood with the snake’s head on the floor, they were so scared that they went to sleep in other rooms.

Naturally, Nathan was brought away too.

When Sophia saw Nathan being brought away and his howls could no longer be heard, she felt worried and guilty.

Since Nathan was from the Fletcher Family and was also Michael’s son, it was unlikely that Michael would let her take care of Nathan in the future after what happened today.

Although they had only stayed together for a few days, Sophia seemed to be very fond of her ‘darling’.

Feeling distressed, Sophia was unable to fall asleep the entire night. Not only was she sad and felt that she was responsible for this, but she was also scared that she could no longer meet Nathan anymore.

A lot of dormitories had been spotting snakes recently, but it was quite a common phenomenon since the barracks was located in a mountainous area.

The next day during training, Sophia did not see Nathan anywhere. I don’t think he’ll be at training anymore…

Upon thinking about this, she was in low spirits and felt distracted the entire morning.

The pest control company came over and sprayed pesticides everywhere that day, filling the barracks with an unpleasant smell.

At night, Juliette sneakily told Sophia that the snake had actually been released by Kayla.

As Juliette was too timid to touch the snake, Kayla found another guy to release it in the 49th Company’s dormitory.

Ha. It really is Kayla!

On the fifteenth day of their training, Nathan was still nowhere to be seen. Sophia felt that her life was boring without Nathan’s companion.

When the training ended at night, Kayla walked around the barracks and found a secluded place to meet a tall, strong guy.

Two days ago, she found a guy and got him to release the snake through the windows of the 49th Company’s dormitory. However, she did not dare to meet up with that guy until now since their trick had escalated and gained the commanders’ attention.

After being placed in confinement and receiving punishment, it was impossible for her to pass military training now. Hence, she decided to act recklessly and planned to do something more straightforward after the release of the snake failed.

“Go and find several men to break that b*tch’s legs when she’s alone! Then, strip all her clothes off and bring her to the crowd at the training field!” Kayla ordered ferociously.

The guy in front of her was probably from the sports department as he looked fit and strong. He seemed to be in a dilemma after hearing her orders. “Isn’t this… a bit too obvious? We’re in military training now. If the drill instructors know about this…”

She wanted him to strip Sophia’s clothes off now. If he really did this, the commanders would probably not let them off. By then, was he not the perfect scapegoat?

“Do you still want to bail your father out?!” Kayla scolded mercilessly, “If the Harpers don’t help you this time, your father will never be free from prison!”
