Even the arrogant Anthony surrendered to Cooper.
At once, the state of the three forces were altered and Alex was now at the opposing end from Cooper.
Alex and the Edwards Family were united by marriage and with that protection, he still had the upper hand. After all, he and the Edwards Family made a strong collaboration. On the contrary, what did Cooper have?
After 20 years, the Mitchell Family and Bayside were no longer under Cooperâs control.
Therefore, the winner of this battle was still unknown and it would be more than a challenge for Cooper if he wanted to gain back the Mitchell Family.

In Pourl, which had just resumed its operation after the renovation, a small party was held by Sarah to celebrate the reopening of the shop and some close friends were invited.
Today was just a small reopening and it wasnât a grand party, as they were reserving the splendid occasion for the product launch ceremony.
Sophia had brought all her cats and dogs to the shop to liven up the atmosphere, so the shop was now filled with animals.
Nicole even purposely canceled an event just to attend this party. As a huge celebrity, her presence made the shop dazzle. She was indeed giving great honor to Sophia, willing to turn down another event just to attend this small party.
Sophia was still wearing a mask since the wound on her face hadnât recovered. It needed some time to heal with medications.
Those cats and dogs that came were decked out in jewellery. Standing among the animals, Ivan was grateful and overjoyed to see his works worn by furry friends, especially when he saw the collar on Judgeâs neck. That was the work he felt the proudest of and it was also the treasure of the shop. That collar itself won countless medals in all types of international competitions.
Whenever Ivan saw Judge, he would think of his dog that died painfully in his house. After so many years, he couldnât get past it to rear another dog.
Wearing that collar, Judge looked extremely lively and handsome, successfully attracting a bunch of female dogs.
Judge was now the main signed male model and ambassador of Pourl, being featured in every new product poster as a model. In the world of dogs at Bayside, he was famous and even had a personal agent. Most importantly, he had several accounts on social media, including Twitter, Snapchat, Tiktok, and Facebook, with over ten million followers!
Now, Judge had reached the peak of its life, enjoying luxury houses and branded items. But when a group of pretty, obedient female dogs gathered around him, he, who was surrounded by females, finally recalled that he had been neutered!
Therefore, Judge felt really down for the whole day.
On the other hand, when a few women got together, there would always be endless topics to chat about.
Nicole shared her story first by saying, âTwo days ago, Taylor suddenly came to me and asked if I had any free time because he wanted to collaborate with me on a script.â
When Taylor appeared out of nowhere to find her, Nicole was thoroughly shaken.
Taylor was not only alive, he was even well-informed of what had happened in Africa and thanked her.
Nicole didnât expect that someone so arrogant like Taylor would thank her, hence she happily reserved her time for his new drama.
These few years, she remained at Imperial Entertainment. In the past, it was Ethan and Taylor who made this company successful but after they retired, Nicole was left to support the company alone.
In the past few years, Nicole not only acted in movies, she also took over some managing jobs in Imperial Entertainment and supported a few rookies. While working on her career, she also led a batch of new celebrities and they were doing rather well now, bringing fame to the company.
If Taylor really came back, it would be perfect.
Speaking of that script, Sarah became enthusiastic and said, âI know! Yesterday, Taylor came back to find my Old Wolf and he is even going to make a comeback! Their new movie is adapted from a true story and itâs amazing!â
Upon hearing that, Sophia started to zone out⦠Had Michael come back yesterday? Why didnât he come to visit Carmen or her?
Since he came to meet Ethan, why didnât he visit Carmen and her as well?
Once Sophia thought of that, she felt dejected.
Speaking of the movie, Sarah looked like a fan and blushed profusely. âMy Old Wolf says that the movie that was banned a few years agoâthe one about the imperial sealâis submitted for review and will soon be aired. Nicole, donât forget to advertise for Old Wolf! After all, he has faded from the publicâs sight and heâll need help from famous celebrities like you to regain his popularity!â
Nicole smiled shyly. âSure! Iâm more than happy to help him.â
She became who she was today because her two seniors, Taylor and Ethan, had helped her.
Sarah was excited as she gushed, âThatâs awesome! Itâs rare for Taylor, Old Wolf and Nicole, these Oscar winners, to be in the same movie. In fact, this will be the first time ever in Cethos! Iâm sure the box office will explode and I can foresee that it will surpass War Dragon soon!â
On the other hand, Sophia was still upset that Michael didnât visit herâ¦
While she was immersed in sadness, a few people suddenly appeared at the door.
A few bodyguards in black suits escorted Sandra, who was dressed in all white like an angel, into the shop. Upon seeing that, Sophia put down her cat and approached them.
âYouâve got quite a number of guests here,â Sandra said in a light voice while looking around.
Actually, there werenât many people in the shop today. In fact, the cats and dogs in the shop outnumbered the staff. Stanley and Sean werenât here so there were only a few regular customers.
It was obvious that Sandra came to cause trouble since she brought her men and blocked the door fiercely, seemingly afraid that they would escape. After a glance around the shop, she memorized the few guests.
After getting a good feel of the guests in the shop, Sandra said in a haughty tone, âI came here today to tell everyone that Iâm one of the shareholders of King and Iâm the one in charge now. King will be resuming its business two days later and weâll hold a grand launch, and Iâd like to invite all of you to attend the ceremony. Iâve memorized all your names and Iâll send the invitation card to your houses respectively later on. King welcomes all of you.â
With that, Sandra turned and left.
The shop was filled with dogsâ odour and she hated it so much that she even tried to hold her breath while speaking.
Who said that someone who owned a business of branded pet supplies would love pets?
Sandra was one of those who hated these drooling creatures who shed fur; they were absolutely disgusting to her.
Once she left, the atmosphere in the shop changed.
It was evident that Sandra was openly snatching the remaining customers they had!
Besides, she even said that she memorized the names of the guests today! Could it be that she wanted to threaten those who didnât attend Kingâs launching ceremony?
What a cruel person she was!
Who could win against her if she used this method to snatch the customers away?
Fortunately, the guests that came today were Pourlâs regulars, which were as close as a family, and they wouldnât easily betray them. Those unfamiliar customers were already won over by Sandra.
Sarah was the first to spring up. âJust you f*cking wait and see!â
Everyone was picking on her, who was an online illustrator for an actor that were both no longer famous. Bah!
âWhen my Old Wolf makes a comeback, it will be her doomâs day!â
Staring at the direction that Sandra left, Sophia sank into deep thought before a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on her lips.
Was Sandra going to hold a grand launch ceremony?
Unfortunately for her, that would only happen in her dreams!
