Chapter 7. Going home

At this moment, Albert's face was dark, and his fists were clenched tightly behind his back.

 He took a deep breath and finally calmed down.

 "Daniel Hoyd, seeing as you've just been released from prison and haven't learned the rules of the outside world, I won't be too calculative with you. In the future, I'll have Sophia teach you more rules."

 Albert forced a smile onto his face as he tried to make up for what transpired.

 Otherwise, not only Sophia would lose face in front of so many people, but the entire Jones family would also become a laughing stock.

 "That's right, you should thank Mr. Albert. Mr. Albert is willing to forgive you. What a kind elder he is!"

 "That's right. If not, you might be thrown back into Angola's prison because of your behavior."

 Although everyone present knew that Albert was giving them a way out, they still spoke against their better judgment.

 Daniel chuckled silently, without looking at Albert.

 In order not to expose his identity, he asked Lucas to organize this wedding for Sophia. Although this marriage had been arranged by Albert, he would not feel any gratitude towards Albert.

 'I'm sorry, Sophia.'

 Daniel thought to himself. Although he had achieved his goal of coming to Sophia's side, he had also caused Sophia to suffer.

 It appeared Daniel had triggered the conflict in advance.

 Based on Albert's attitude towards Sophia and Brandon, even without him, Albert would kick them out of the family without hesitation once George gained control of The Jones Group. Furthermore, with Albert's vicious style, he could kill Sophia.

 Albert was furious at Daniel Hoyd's attitude.

 "Priest, conduct the wedding."

 Albert sat down, his heart filled with anger as he spoke in a low voice.

 The priest, who had been hiding at the side, finally came to his senses and hurried to the stage.

 Under the leadership of the priest, Sophia carried Allie and walked onto the stage with Daniel.

 "Uncle, why did you come up? My mom is going to marry my dad, you can't come up!"

 Said Allie, her eyes wide open.

 "Allie's father can't make it, so I'm here to help your father and mother get married."

 Daniel said, causing the priest and Sophia's faces to freeze.

 "Can marriage be with a substitute?"

 Allie asked as she looked at him in confusion.

 "Normally, it can't, but uncle has a special relationship with your father."

 As he said this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. To protect Allie, he told all kinds of lies.

 'You and her father are the same. How can your relationship not be special?' The priest cursed in his heart.

 "Allie, Uncle will temporarily replace father and protect Allie and mother, okay?"

 Daniel said with a smile, and Allie nodded her head vigorously.

Then, under the priest's oath, Daniel and Sophia, whose body was rigid, exchanged rings and officially became a newly-wedded couple.

 "Sophia, let's go home."

 Daniel said to Sophia as gently as he could. Sophia nodded in a daze, carried Allie, and followed Daniel out of the banquet hall.

 The wedding was over, and the guests were no longer in the mood to socialize after seeing the chaos in the banquet hall. They all bid farewell to Albert and left.

 Soon, only Albert's family was left in the banquet hall.

 "Didn't you say that Daniel Hoyd is a good-for-nothing lunatic? More than 20 bodyguards can't beat him, and you call him useless?"

 Albert questioned George angrily. Although they had successfully married Sophia to Daniel, the way he had defended his wife and daughter in front of everyone had changed everyone's opinion of him. Furthermore, Daniel had single-handedly defeated more than twenty professional bodyguards, which made him look like a hero.

 How could he let Sophia become the laughingstock of New Orleans and make the corporation's management reject her?

 Even though Albert was the founder and the largest shareholder of Jones Group, he couldn't dictate the company's internal affairs. Sophia had done an excellent job. If he fired Sophia without any basis, it would inevitably cause investors to lose trust in Jones Group.

 "Dad, this is a good thing!"

 George hurriedly said, causing Albert to frown.

 "How is this a good thing?"

 "Dad, four years ago, Daniel committed rape. Now that he's Sophia's husband, can he still control his desires? With Sophia's unyielding character, she definitely won't listen to Daniel Hoyd. "

 "When the time comes, if Daniel makes a move, won't Sophia be killed?"

 George sneered and said.

 "What you said makes sense."

 Albert nodded slightly, his brows relaxing.

 "Let's do it this way. You can gradually take over Sophia's business. Sophia has already almost finished discussing a few business deals. I'll get my secretary to give you the client's information later, and you can take these business deals. "

 Hearing this, George's face lit up.

 "Dad, don't worry. I'll complete the mission!"

 On the other side, Daniel was driving to his and Sophia's house.

 Allie sat in the baby's seat in the passenger's seat and stared curiously at her 'substitute father'.

 In the back seat, Sophia's expression was dull. She was filled with fear for the unknown future.

 An hour later, the car stopped in front of a detached villa.

 This villa had a beautiful courtyard, and Sophia had planted many beautiful flowers in the courtyard.

 Daniel unbuckled Allie's seat belt, and Allie opened the door excitedly and jumped out.

 This day might be a boring or magical day for many people, but it was the happiest day for Allie.

 She now had an uncle who could protect her, and the bad guys who had been bullying her were also taught a lesson by her dear uncle.

 "Uncle, quickly come and take a look! This big red flower was planted by Allie!"

 Allie leaned on the fence and shouted.

 Daniel walked to Allie's side and looked at the red flower that was open to the sun and blooming brilliantly. He picked Allie up in his arms.

 "Allie is the best!"

 Looking at the father and daughter smiling happily, Sophia was in a daze for a moment. She had the illusion that they were an intimate family.

 However, when Daniel's gaze fell on Sophia, her expression immediately turned cold.

 "Allie, go in first. Mom has something to say to Uncle."

 Daniel put Allie down. She looked at both of them hesitantly before walking into the house.

 "You animal, listen up!"

 Sophia looked at Daniel with eyes full of resentment and said through gritted teeth.

 "Don't even think about becoming Allie's father! For now, I'm only allowing you to stay here temporarily. Once I can decide my fate, I'll immediately shove you out of here!"

 "In here, you have to follow my rules. Stay away from me, stay away from Allie!"
