Chapter 823: Chapter 826

While storming off, Faye turned back and glared at Director Wall. At the same time, she cursed, “Director Wall, your movie will definitely fail!”

Weren’t they submitting the movie for a review?

She would definitely make it impossible for it to be screened!

“Miss Faye, Miss Faye!”

Burning with anxiety, Director Wall ran after her.

Outside the museum, there were only a handful of tourists and a few cars in the car park since the museum was closed today for maintenance. When Michael ran out, Cooper was lifting Carmen into the car. Hastily, Michael went up to them and asked, “Baby, what’s wrong? Are you upset? Tell me.”

Carmen raised her head to look at him and pouted her lips. “Faye is a bad person. She said nasty things about you so I got mad!”

So that was what happened.

Michael honestly didn’t anticipate that so many issues would arise from a movie. Hugging Carmen, he kissed her forehead and said, “It’s alright, Baby. You don’t have to be angry. Everyone has a mouth so you can’t control what they say.”

After that, Sophia got into the car and the whole family drove off.

Behind them, Faye spotted Michael and Sophia getting into the same car one after another. Witnessing that, she suddenly understood what had happened. “No wonder he’s so arrogant. It turns out that he has a thing with Scarlett!”

She had heard about Cooper and Scarlett’s background from Sandra. Although Scarlett was shrewd, she and Cooper were just nonentities that couldn’t even be registered in the genealogy record book of their family.

Poor Taylor. He thought that he had managed to ride on Young Lady Mitchell’s coattails and became the father of someone else’s son. Little did he know that she was just a fake Young Lady that had appeared out of nowhere!

She would definitely make him regret for rejecting her, the true princess, and going after a fake princess!

When they got home, Michael was still worried so he followed Carmen back to Villa No. 2.

Carmen was always fond of the young actors, fathers and older sisters in ‘Where Are We Going, Dad?’

and ‘Where Are We Going, Sis?’. Unexpectedly, the older sister in the show whom she loved had said nasty things about her father behind his back. That upset her so much that she didn’t even speak ever since she reached home.

The whole family was burning with anxiety, especially Michael, who hugged Carmen and tried to cheer her up for a long time. Yet, his efforts were fruitless. Judging from the situation, it seemed like she wouldn’t cheer up even if Judge performed a sexy dance.

With teary eyes, Carmen clenched her little fist tightly around Michael’s shit.

“Baby, what’s wrong? Can you tell me?” Michael asked softly.

Cooper’s panic rose to the peak as well. He even tried to cheer her up with her favorite panda plushie.

“My sweet baby, were you shocked today? It’s actually acting and that’s how acting is.”

After humming and hawing for ages, Carmen finally replied in a low voice, “Grandpa, I want to be on the television.”

It turned out that she wasn’t shocked by Faye, but she was upset because she heard that Cooper wouldn’t allow her to be on the television again.

That made Cooper hesitate. After all, the entertainment industry wasn’t a safe place, so how would he feel at ease to let his darling appear in a place that was a hodgepodge of good and bad people?

Besides, what Faye said had triggered him.

She said that only poor *sses would send such a young kid to act in movies.

Acting was a profession that had a bad reputation since ancient times. As his granddaughter, Carmen had boundless prospects so she didn’t need to step foot in such a nasty industry and work with those disgusting people.

However, when Carmen’s soft, adorable eyes gazed at him, he started to waver.

He just couldn’t help it!

Taking Carmen from Michael’s arms, Sophia gently said, “Baby, you must’ve misheard Grandpa. He didn’t say that, and we’ll go shooting tomorrow. Why don’t you ask your father if you don’t believe me?”

Carmen looked at Michael and he immediately replied, “Yes, we’ll go shooting tomorrow!”

In such a situation, Cooper had no choice but to give in. Softly, he said, “Alright, alright. You can be on the television.”

Finally, Carmen cheered up and showed a faint smile. After that, Sophia brought her to the room to sleep because she was exhausted from such a tiring day.

In the living room, Michael took the initiative to admit his mistake to Cooper.

“It’s my fault for what happened today. I was too careless.”

He didn’t expect that a small movie would cause so many problems.

Pulling a long face, Cooper didn’t reply to him. Nevertheless, Michael continued, “Carmen will have to continue acting in the movie. Since we’ve promised her, we must fulfil it.”

After that, he stopped talking and waited for Cooper’s comment.

After staying silent for a long time, Cooper finally responded. “I’ll choose the actress she will be acting with.”

Michael was relieved that Cooper gave in. At the same time, he took the opportunity to ask, “May I check on Carmen upstairs before I leave?”

Cooper didn’t agree nor oppose that request, so Michael stood up and dashed up the stairs like a speeding bullet. Then, he went into Sophia’s room.

Lately, Carmen had been staying here.

Sophia’s room was all pink like a princess’s room as always, and it looked extremely girly. After traveling, Carmen was worn out so she had fallen asleep. Meanwhile, Sophia had changed her clothes and was lying on the bed to accompany Carmen while she slept. When Michael came in, Sophia got up from the bed.

“Why did you come?” she asked softly, afraid that she would wake Carmen up.

Tip-toeing, Michael came in while gazing affectionately at his daughter. Then, he asked in a low voice, “How is she? Has she cheered up?”

Sophia chuckled softly. “She’s overjoyed that her grandpa agreed to let her act.”

Michael knew that Cooper would come up and chase him out if he stayed here any longer so he quickly said, “I’ve discussed this with our dad just now and he agreed to let her act in the movie tomorrow with a condition of changing the actor. This time, no more unexpected incidents will happen.”

Shamelessly, he had grabbed the opportunity to use the phrase ‘our dad’, but Sophia couldn’t be bothered to make a fuss now.

Upon hearing that, Sophia was relieved so she said, “Thank you.”

After that, Michael left. The next morning, Carmen wouldn’t stop pestering them to go to the set. So, the whole family went there and when they arrived at the set, they realized that the actress, who was Carmen’s acting partner, had already arrived before them. She had even completed her makeup and was waiting for her call.

“Mr. Mitchell.”

As soon as Nicole spotted Cooper, she went up to them gleefully. It was like a dream when she suddenly received Cooper’s call last night where he invited her to be Carmen’s acting partner.

Although this was a job and Cooper paid for her appearance fee, she was still overjoyed.

Cooper nodded at Nicole and replied, “Thank you for coming, Ms. Walker.”

That was the only thing he said to her before giving all his attention to his granddaughter. However, Nicole was still over the moon. To her, being able to talk to him was the biggest honor she could have.

After coming back from overseas, Nicole had never met Cooper. Every time she went to Sophia’s house, he would stay in his office and seldom came out.

Therefore, she couldn’t be happier to meet him today.

When Michael knew that Cooper would be choosing the actor on his own, he had guessed that it would be Nicole because she was the only one he knew.

To be honest, he sympathised with Nicole too because whenever he saw her, he would think of his mother, Elizabeth. She, too, once went astray but fortunately, she got back on the right path and changed her own fate. Yet, finding true love was extremely difficult.

With the help of Nicole, the shooting went smoothly and it was completed at noon. Carmen loved Nicole so she insisted that Nicole have a meal in their house. Therefore, all of them went back happily.

Within a short time, the news reached Faye.

“What? They asked Nicole, that b*tch, to be the replacement?”
