Meanwhile in the Mitchell Residence, Sandra was watching the news and when she heard what Michael said, she was so furious she flung the remote control to the ground.
I didnât expect the two of them to work together to deceive the public! It was clear that they were divorced. Are they trying to get back together?
After giving it some thought, Sandra called Abbie. After all, Abbie was a member of the Michel Family.
The Michel Familyâs power used to be focused abroad but now, it was gradually seeping into Bayside City.
Nobody in Bayside City will dare to disobey Abbie. As long as she gives the order, weâll definitely find proof of Sophia and Michaelâs divorceâ¦
At the press conference, the agitated reporters asked numerous questions about their children, Sophia, and about Sandra, but Michael didnât answer any of them and left in a hurry.
After the press conference, Sophia and Michael came out of the parking garage. Michael pulled the door open for Sophia and there was a shining ring on his ring finger that was part of a matching set with the ring on Sophiaâs ring finger, as if they were destined to be together.
After they got in the car, Michael looked at the ring and said, âThe rumors are still spreading and Sandra will definitely find a way to get proof of our divorce, so donât take your ring off for the time being.â
Sophia nodded and lowered her head to admire her ring. This ring suits me very well. Michael and I mustâve spent a lot of effort in choosing our wedding rings back then!
Now that they had divorced, not only did they have to pay attention to Carmenâs feelings, they had to protect Michaelâs public image, which was why they couldnât disclose their divorce.
I wonder how Sandra found out about it. From now on, we must pay attention to not let the news leak out.
After admiring the ring, Sophia said, âI will follow up with the lawsuit so you can be rest assured to go to the set and shoot the movie.â
Michael nodded in response and the two of them drove home.
Cooper wasnât home because he was out looking for his son. According to Michaelâs subordinateâs report, they were investigating couples who emigrated out of Riverdale twenty-seven years ago, which was quite a wide range of people.
Michael planned to create some obstacles for Cooper and then appear when Cooper was at his most anxious and give some clues, effectively showing Michaelâs importanceâ¦
However, this plan was extremely dangerous. Michael was dipping his toes in the water and he was at risk of being chopped into pieces. If Cooper found out about this, Michael would be shredded and be made into minced meat!
After dinner, Michael went back to the guest room when he received a call from Harry.
âHey, hurry up and come to the set. Youâre the male lead. If you donât come back, the whole crew will be a mess!â
Harry already knew that Michael was up to no good and he was right. Michael was eating and living in Cooperâs house like a shameless person again!
Iâm sure Cooper is dying to get rid of him!
âIâll be back tomorrow,â Michael replied. âYouâll have to help me handle the situation first.â
After he hung up, Michael logged onto his Messenger to chat with Sophia. Coincidentally, as soon as he opened the application, he saw that Sophia had sent him a message.
âDidnât you say that you would make an announcement about bringing Carmen on a reality show? Why didnât you?â
Michael typed out a response, âI wonât announce it for the time being. Carmen is young and inexperienced, so Iâm afraid that she wonât get used to it. If she doesnât like it, they will delete our scenes during post production. Itâs written in the contract that I signed.â
Sophia sent him a red heart emoji as a reply.
Seeing this, Michael sent another text. âFurthermore, the goal of this press conference is to sue Sandra.
If we make an announcement about Carmen, the attention of the reporters will inevitably shift to her.â
The two chatted and they sent voice messages, texts, and even video called each other, talking about Carmen and Sandra.
Sandraâs behavior this time truly offended Michael. People thought that he had abandoned his wife and there were even some small papers that spread rumors Sophia had a chaotic life, saying that she had an affair and was kicked out of the house. In the end, Sandra couldnât stand it so she came forward to criticize them.
However, Sophia felt that it was not the right time to take revenge on Sandra yet. She wanted Sandra to be completely humiliated, just like how she treated Natasha back then! Sophia wanted to make her feel ashamed and ruin her fatherâs reputation again and again!
After Sandra came to Cooperâs house and made a scene yesterday, there were some people from Alexâs side who secretly came over to side with Cooper.
Cooper will be the one to crush them upfront and Iâll be the one who will trick them behind the scenes!
Sophia had hired someone to investigate Abbie and found out that she had been really active in Bayside City lately.
Sandra is probably tricked by her. In order to please Abby, she has already spent a lot of money. I have a hunch that she will do something foolish soon!
The two of them chatted until ten oâclock when Sophia said, âCarmen is asleep. I should go to sleep now.â
Hearing this, Michael hurriedly said, âIâm leaving tomorrow. I want to see you.â
There was a long silence, as if she was putting on a facial mask. Finally, she typed out a response, âI donât think thatâs a good idea. Itâs my time of the month today.â
Time of the monthâ¦
Seeing this, Michael instantly felt enthusiastic and a glint appeared in his eyes. He hurriedly stood up and typed on his phone with one hand while he put on his clothes with the other.
âItâs okay; Iâll be careful and I wonât take things too far.â
Sophia replied to him with a shy emoji and sent him a text. âThe doors are already closed.â
Although she seems to be refusing me, I have a feeling that she secretly wants me there. Michael was so happy, he was on cloud nine. He hurriedly put on a pair of sneakers and walked out briskly as he typed, âNo problem. Turn off Siri; Iâll be there soon.â
After a while, Sophia replied, âIâve already turned it off. It will take ten minutes for the system to restart.
Come over.â
Michael almost flew out of the living room and went outside to sneak around. It seems like no one is around. The Siri system covers the whole house and itâll notice even if a mouse appears in the corner, let alone a human.
However, ten minutes was all Michael needed.
When he arrived outside the mistressâ residence where Sophia lived, he looked over the wall and saw faint light shining in a small room.
Thatâs where Sophia is!
Unfortunately, the door was locked. Michael touched the cold door and glanced at the high wall.
It was too late to ask someone to pick the lock, so the only option was to jump over the wall. Michael estimated the height of the wall and calculated the best distance for a run-up. He took a few steps back, sprinted, and jumped onto the wall in a few steps. His new sneakers didnât even leave any footprints on the wall.
Then, he silently stood on the wall and looked around the Edwards residence under the moonlight.
Michael was familiar with every corner of this house because he often came here to shoot movies and have a holiday. Later, he sneakily jumped to the ground, climbed up to the second floor from the outside of the building, and went to the small room with the light on.
Standing outside on the balcony, Michael straightened his clothes and knocked gently on the door. Soon, he saw a figure moving from inside the room and he even heard some laughter.
Michael turned around and glanced at the wall that he had just leaped over, feeling pleased with himself.
Fortunately, I have had some training so walls of this height arenât hard for me to jump over! Hmmâ¦
Come to think of it, jumping over a wall to meet a beautiful woman is pretty heroic and artistic!
Sophia soon came and opened the door. Even though the Siri system was turned off, the surveillance cameras were still on. From the surveillance, she saw Michael jump and climb the wall and she was moved.
I wonât take things too farâ¦
