Chapter 459: Chapter 462

Michael knew that she was still angry. I was wrong. I shouldn’t take the ‘backdoor’. While rubbing her buttocks to alleviate the pain, he said, “Don’t worry about Nicole. It will be over in a while. We won’t change the female lead, so don’t worry about it.”

Sophia snorted.

While touching her smooth buttocks, his mind wandered elsewhere again. “After all, we’ve already slept together. I will uphold my promise that I made before.

Sophia, who was in the blanket, replied, “Men are just so ruthless! After wearing your pants, everything else is not counted anymore!”

He quickly defended himself. “How is it so? Look at everything that I promised you—I’ve kept to them each time. When I say that I won’t fire Nicole, I will keep to my word. Don’t worry!”

She was still furious. “Olivia has always wanted the position of the female lead. If she uses your bunch of relatives to threaten you, will you give in?”

He was still caressing her buttocks as he liked them the most. After practicing squats for a long time, her outline was extremely enticing as it was also quite toned. “Nothing else matters.” He smiled.

“Hmph.” Sophia was still unhappy about it.

However, Michael added, “But, you know that the Murray Family is still my mother’s family. If they really come to look for trouble or force me to fire Nicole, I will probably feel pressured.”

Of course. No matter what, the Murray Family is still Elizabeth’s maiden family. On top of that, her mother is still alive—in her eighties. What if that old lady comes to the filming set with a stick to look for trouble with Michael? It will be a tricky matter. She turned and asked anxiously, “What should we do?”

With a frown on his face, Michael pretended to be worried. “If you can sleep with me for a few more times, I can totally settle this…”

Sophia was speechless upon hearing that. Sure enough, there’s nothing in the filming crew that the ‘hidden rules’ can’t solve.

After implementing the ‘hidden rules’, her butt ached even more as she lay on the bed and groaned.

In fact, he felt slightly sorry. After all, the incidents with the filming crew were minute that he would not need to speak up at all. The director was exceptionally satisfied with Nicole’s performance, so there would not be any need to change her role. If everyone hates her, just let them be for the time being. After all, nothing else would make her more famous than a few malicious rumors.

After some time when ‘War Dragon’ was about to be promoted, there would be more than enough time to clear her name.

With that, Nicole would immediately gain popularity and people would like her. It was something that many famous celebrities used to increase their fame.

He was just trying to scare Sophia and deliberately teased her.

The Murray Family was nothing to Michael.

After sleeping with him, Sophia lay on the bed on her belly again to scroll on her phone while Michael slathered some cream on her buttocks so that it would reduce the pain.

After that, he switched on his laptop to have a video call with Old Master Fletcher since it was still early.

After the call was connected, his caretaker fiddled around the camera to make some adjustments. In no time, his face was immediately seen on the screen. With a pair of glasses on his face, he greeted Michael energetically.

“Mikey, are you done with the filming?”

Michael replied, “Soon.”

Then, they saw Nathan walking past with a huge orange cat in his hands. After glancing at the camera, he walked away again with a frustrated expression on his face.

Michael took the opportunity to look at Nathan. How pitiful. His baby fat is all gone now, but he looks more like a man. It’s about time that he needs to learn to be mature.

Sophia was still on her phone with her belly on the bed. In fact, she was hiding at a spot that was not noticeable by the camera. If Old Master Fletcher sees me in Michael’s bed, he’s going to pester me again!

During the time that she was at the film studio, Old Master Fletcher had occasionally pestered her as he could not wait for her to marry one of the guys in his family.

She listened to their conversation on the side. After hearing Michael finish the call, she asked, “Your nickname is ‘Mikey’. What about your sister?”

Michael replied, “I’m Mikey while she is Celie.”

Suddenly, Sean sent a message to her. ‘Sophia, when and where did you take this picture?’

He sent a picture of her and an unknown handsome guy.

Sophia immediately answered him with the location and the time as it was still fresh in her memory. After all, the guy was too handsome for her to forget, so she wanted his number and Twitter and Messenger handles to admire his pictures. However, she merely looked at him without having the guts to ask him about it. Why is Sean asking about this? Has he finally decided to leave Stanley, the relationship nerd?

‘Why are you asking about this?’

Sean enlarged the picture until he could see the background before zooming into a man’s figure and adjusted the clarity of the photo to the maximum.

In no time, his side profile appeared in front of Sophia.

His tilted face looked calm and cool while the end of his blond hair slightly touched his eyebrows when he lowered his blue eyes. With a pair of sunglasses in his hands, he looked like he was about to wear them.

He asked, ‘Who do you think this person looks like?’

While looking at the man blankly, she suddenly realized something. It’s Cooper!

She recalled the picture of Cooper and Annabel—the background of that picture was precisely the filming studio, so it was not a surprise that he would be there. So, Cooper has visited this filming studio before?

After looking at the picture in a daze for a few more seconds, tears suddenly streamed down Sophia’s face. Cooper, are you here to reminisce about your Anna?

After a while, she wiped her tears away and saw Sean’s text. ‘Sophia, I was investigating the case back then. When Uncle Cooper was in the car accident, his body was badly injured to the point where it was not recognizable. Only the DNA results confirmed his identity. Two days ago, when I saw this picture, I visited his grave to have a look. I wanted to take his corpse to compare his DNA and the report to confirm it again, but I realized that someone has broken into his grave before. The coffin is gone. Sophia, I think he might still be alive. Because he couldn’t overcome the incidents that happened before, he chose to stage his own death as a way to be free. Stanley and I are on our way to the airport. I’m flying over to look for Uncle Cooper. Regardless of whether that man is him or not, I still want to have a look.’

Meanwhile, Michael was looking at Nathan’s pictures that Gary had sent. After that, he turned and saw Sophia looking at her phone in a daze before glancing at her chat with Sean.

Michael never planned on telling her about Cooper’s reappearance in the event that it was a mistake. He didn’t want her to be disappointed after having her hopes up. On top of that, whether Cooper truly reappeared was a mere speculation. What I never expected is that Sean also can’t forget about Cooper.

He enlarged the picture of Sophia that she took with Linus and adjusted the clarity to the maximum. Sure enough, in the corner of the picture, a man who looked like Cooper was standing there. Based on everything he had investigated about Cooper, that person was definitely him. Seems like it’s time to get in touch with the Mitchell Family to learn about the truth.

However, Michael thought that it would be for the best if one of the Mitchells did it.

The next morning, right after Sophia was dressed, Stanley sneaked into their room as soon as Michael opened the door.

Stanley was immediately shocked by the design of the room.

He was greeted by the sight of the love swing, the sex toys, the huge bed, and the home cinema. Many R-rated movies were in the drawers and there were also many sexy posters laying around…

“What the f*ck? You guys even have a love swing? The f*ck! Look at the lighting of the room and its design! Gosh, both of you are so shameless! I can’t even bear to look at this!”
