My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 81

The guy fell silent immediately. The rich always had endless ways to force others to work for them. Money was indeed powerful!

After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, “Let me think of a way…”

Kayla could no longer endure Sophia’s existence. No matter what, she really itched to see her die at this moment!

The guy left shortly after, but Kayla stood at the same place for a while. As she thought about how the naked Sophia would be criticized at the training field tomorrow, she could not help but get excited!

After all, it would be unlikely for her to graduate successfully as she had lost all her military training points. Hence, she planned on furthering her studies overseas as soon as training ended, but she would not let Sophia off easily before that.

Since Sophia had framed her up, she decided to press her luck by making Sophia lose her reputation and not graduate!

Does she still want to study at Bayside University and marry into the Harper Family?

No way. No matter what she does, rags can never become riches!

Throughout the entire time, Kayla thought about multiple ways to let Sophia die at the barracks—all she needed was to carry her plans out. Little did she know that her head would suddenly be covered by a shirt, causing her vision black out. This made her scream, “Ah! Who is this?”

However, the only response she got was endless punches which landed on her head and body mercilessly.

“Ahh!” Kayla screamed out of her lungs, but she was unable to defend herself because her hands had been tied.

After a round of punches and kicks, her leg was suddenly hit by a hard and thick object. The unbearable pain made her pass out in an instant…

“What happened to me?”

Kayla tried to sit up. However, she felt a sharp pain the moment she moved her body. When she took a look at herself, she realized that her leg was suspended and she could hardly move.

Someone had broken her leg!

The pain on her leg made her howl on the bed miserably.

Richard quickly asked her, “Kayla, do you still remember what happened last night? Who beat you?!”

Last night, someone heard a scream at the garden and went to check it out. The unconscious Kayla was the only one left on the spot and she was immediately sent to the infirmary. After the doctor’s examination, they realized that her leg had been broken by someone else.

Kayla kept shaking her head and was crying so hard that she could barely speak. “I don’t know. I don’t know who it is!”

Last night, her attacker was relentless and acted at lightning speed. Kayla’s head was covered as soon as the attacker showed up, and only her vulnerable parts were beaten. As everything happened in the blink of an eye, how could she know who the attacker was?

All of a sudden, Kayla seemed to think of something as she said with gritted teeth, “It must be her! It must be her! Sophia! She was the one who beat me!”

After realizing that she was the one who had released the snake, Sophia must have taken the opportunity to beat her when she was alone.

As she cried, Kayla held onto the 23rd Company Commander and shouted, “It must be Sophia because she has been wanting to hurt me! It must be her!”

Feeling helpless, the company commander could only ask Sophia to come here in order to resolve the conflict.

Sophia arrived soon.

When she entered the ward, she immediately saw Kayla lying on the bed. It seemed like it was Kayla’s first time being beaten up, and she looked miserable while crying tearfully. However, she struggled to get off the bed ferociously upon seeing Sophia walking in; she looked as though she wanted to pounce on Sophia and eat her alive.

“It’s you! You were the one who broke my leg!” Kayla shouted so loudly that her voice became hoarse, and her eyes turned red due to fury.

Sophia shrugged and said confusedly, “What did you say? What have I done this time?”

Commander Ford and another commander, Quinton, came as well. After the 23rd Company Commander briefed them about the situation, Sophia denied at once. “It wasn’t me. After training ended yesterday, I went to apply medicine in the infirmary, so I didn’t have any time to do this.”

The nurse in the infirmary came to testify on behalf of Sophia too. She said that Sophia had been coming in daily after her chest was injured by the rove beetles’ toxins.

Lately, several students have gotten themselves injured by the rove beetles’ toxins. Although they did not feel anything at first, it was too late by the time they sensed something wrong because their skin was probably inflamed.

Since it was rather inappropriate to let Sophia show the wounds on her chest to everyone, she was allowed to leave after proving her innocence.

Kayla felt unfair as she howled on the bed, “It’s her! It must’ve been her! She’s the only one who has reason to do so! It must be her!”

Richard felt that Kayla was overreacting, so he quickly coaxed her by saying, “Kayla, don’t accuse anyone if you don’t have any evidence.”

Kayla cried tearfully. “How can you still take her side?! She was the one who beat me last night! I am sure that she’s definitely the one! I haven’t offended anybody else!” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Sophia had almost left the ward, but upon hearing that, she could not hold back and said, “It’s true that we have some misunderstandings between each other, but that is no reason for me to break your leg. Miss, I’m not you—I’m not such a petty person!”

Kayla was exasperated. Although it was clearly Sophia’s doings, everyone still took her side. Hence, Kayla panicked upon seeing her leave and blurted out, “It’s her! She took revenge on me after knowing that I was the one who released the snake into her dormitory!”

Her words enlightened both company commanders in the ward. “So, it was you who released the snake at the 49th Company.”

At this moment, Kayla finally realized that she had said something wrong and hurriedly shut up. Unfortunately, it was too late because she had been completely disqualified to join the military training. If there were a precedence, she would be on a bus back to Bayside University now.

Meanwhile, Richard was also exasperated at this younger sister of his.

How dare she release snakes into peoples’ dormitories?! He felt that he could hardly understand her mind now.

Due to Kayla’s confession about her release of the snake, the culprit behind her broken leg seemed to have been forgotten; even the company commanders were unwilling to investigate despite knowing who the culprit might be.

The attacker was a cunning person because she had avoided all surveillance cameras, knowing the location of every surveillance camera like the back of her hand. Hence, nothing useful could be found from the footage that night.

In the end, this matter just passed quietly as Kayla had given up on this and the commanders had also ordered not to investigate the matter any further.

In the barracks’ commanding general office, Joel was in his military uniform as he sat straight up, holding a laptop that was showing the barracks’ surveillance footage. From the footage, it could be clearly seen that a man was sneakily putting a snake into the 49th Company’s female dormitory.

As the screen toggled, Nathan could be seen crying out of fear.

“Nate!”

“Mommy!”

The wet Sophia dashed in and threw the basin in her hands. With a thud, the aluminum basin hit the floor and killed the snake on the spot.

Then, the laptop showed footage of Kayla being beaten that night. From the surveillance cameras nearby, a student who either turned her back to cameras or pulled her military cap low were repeatedly captured. Every time, she took the advantage of the crowds and passed by the cameras in a rush.

Hence, she could hardly be noticed if one did not pay much attention to her. She clearly knew her destination and had the intention of doing something by walking in such a hurry.

Joel paused the footage and continued to enlarge the woman’s figure who had her head lowered and face covered until she filled the whole screen…

“Ha. She’s interesting.”
