Chapter 177


    Director Jenkins’s daughter had attended the Harper Family’s banquet, but was raped by three brawny


    men. Naturally, he med the Harpers.


    On the other side, the police had investigated the three brawny men, which led them to Ka. Hence,


    she was suddenly involved in a serious crime where she was a suspect in a rape case and also


    suspected of harboring drugs. Furthermore, she already had a criminal record, so the situation looked


    bad for her. Since she was charged with several criminal charges, she was immediately sent to the


    police station to assist in the investigation.


    Although she vehemently denied that she hired the three brawny men, there was concrete proof of her


    doing so—she was the mastermind behind the vition of Director Jenkins’s daughter.


    Richard was panicking since he was in a desperate situation. On one hand, he tried to console Director


    Jenkins while attempting to bribe the Harper Family elders to mediate this matter while on the other


    hand, he was trying his best to get Ka out of the mess.


    He changed the age on her ID card by a few months, so that she would be less than 18 years old.


    Then, he found a personal doctor to diagnose her as suffering from a mental disorder. Once she had


    two medical certificates to prove that she was a minor suffering from a mental disorder, things would be


    easier for her. After that, he hired a team of expensivewyers and continued to pull strings through


    unconventional methods, doing everything possible to get her out of the mess.


    Whenever Richard thought about his younger sister, who always acted like a retard, he could imagine


    gouging her heart out!


    She had already previously caused a ruckus when she tried to harm Sophia. The Harpers had spent a


    fortune on ghostwriters on the Inte and public rtions to clean the mess—all to create a positive


    image of her. After that banquet, we even built an elementary school in her name. Whenever she’s free,


    we’ll ask her to walk the mountainous areas to take some photographs and bring them back to write


    some articles. Once her articles are published, she can start from a clean te.


    Her future is bright and the Harpers has gained poprity along the way. I just can’t understand why she


    chose tomit such a horrendous thing at such a critical time.


    Is she stupid? Does she have sh*t for brains?!


    Once something happens, people will post about it online. Hence, we didn’t even dare to publish an


    article to exin her innocence. The Harper Family has recently started afresh, but we now are covered


    in filth again. In fact, the Harpers’ real estate industry has just been listed on the stock market and its


    shares are already being affected.


    Even if we exploit the legal loophole and get her to pretend that she is a minor who has a mental


    disorder, we will never be able to recover from the resulting image, not to mention being involved in the


    entertainment industry.


    If it’s possible, I truly want to give up on Ka!


    However, I only have her as my younger sister and mother has decided to bail Ka out, no matter what


    it takes to do so.


    “Son, try to look for that girl with thest name of Edwards. She must be having a good rtionship with


    Joel since she was able to invite him previously. Get her to exploit her rtionship with him!” Mrs. Harper


    grabbed onto Richard when she said that, as if she was struck by the sudden thought.


    Richard looked embarrassed when he heard that. Earlier, the banquet was in a mess after that incident. I


    wasn’t bothered with Sophia and I haven’t been in contact with her ever since.


    How could she possibly be in a rtionship with Joel? She received first ce in the military training, so


    he did her a favor by attending the Harper Family’s banquet!


    “Mom, what can she possibly do? She does not have any rtionship with Joel. She does not have any


    family background to rely on, so she can’t help in this at all…”


    Mrs. Harper smacked Richard’s head in frustration and viciously reprimanded him, “She looks like a


    vixen! She merely needs to sleep with Joel and suggest some things in bed when she’s with him. Will


    Joel reject her? Wouldn’t your sister be released if he helps?”


    Sophia and Joel?!


    I’ve never thought of that.


    Mrs. Harper reprimanded him again. “Silly boy, didn’t you notice how Joel stared at her that day? If Joel


    is in love with her, you should get her to serve him well. In that case, we would be well-connected with


    the Fletchers in the future!’


    Get Sophia to offer herself to Joel?!


    Richard struggled internally when he considered that option.


    If Sophia offers herself to Joel, our Harper Family will be able to reap the benefits of being acquainted to


    Joel through her in the future. However, how should I get Sophia to willingly offer herself to him?


    He smoked and hesitated for the whole day, looking haggard by the end of the day.


    After the incident with Ka, my initial ns have been disrupted. Initially, I was nning to confess to


    Sophia after the banquet to mend the rift between us. From then onward, she will be my woman on the


    side and assist me with my career. I will make it up to her with all my life.


    On the other hand, X will be my legal wife who will deliver my heirs. I can’t abandon either one of


    them, so I will not mistreat them. However, at this point in time, I need Sophia to approach Joel and be


    closer to the Fletchers!


    After he had made a decision, he dialed Sophia’s phone number…


    In that instant, a few days had passed since the incident. Sophia’s spirits had significantly recovered


    even though she was mostly sleeping and zoning out throughout the day.


    Michael should have been filming his movie abroad, but since his beloved wife had met with an ident,


    he couldn’t bring himself to leave. He had to make sure that Sophia was fully recovered before he left, so


    he made a selfless decision—he moved the entire film studio, which was initially based in Moscov, to


    Cethos.


    He worked like a typical officer worker from 9AM to 5PM every day. He would leave home for his filming


    obligations and head straight home after work.

    It was already mid-winter and the first snowfall had started, effectively covering the ground with a silvery-


    whiteyer of snow. A ck SUV was parked in front of the entrance to Vi No. 8. Michael exited the


    vehicle and his leather shoes stepped on the ground while making two deep footsteps against the snow-


    covered ground.


    The moment he opened the car door, he felt a gust of chilly wind against his face. He stood in the midst


    of the chilly wind and stared at the warm lights glowing from his house, feeling that his mood immediately


    lightened. I am finally experiencing the joys ofing home to a wife and a child. This is such a simple


    and good life.


    Upon walking through the main entrance, Maria took his snow-covered coat. She shook the snow off


    before hanging it on the rack while updating him about Sophia’s condition for the day, “Boss, Madam is


    doing much better today and she seems to be speaking more. Today, Young Master Stan dropped by to


    keep herpany for the whole afternoon and she even started to y games!”


    True enough, Michael saw a pair of punk-styled sports shoes at the entrance.


    However, he would not be calctive over such a small matter—if Sophia was able to y games, it


    meant that she was recovering well.


    He walked to the sickroom.


    He had specifically prepared a sickroom for her recovery, which was equipped with all kinds of


    equipment to help her recover faster. He had also been keeping herpany by sleeping in the


    sickroom with her.


    Before he could even enter the sickroom, he already heard Stanley’s loud voice from afar. “Sophia, I


    already told you to wear thicker clothes. Why did you wear a bareback dress to act cool? See, now


    you’re under the weather! I wish you were a penguin that day!”


    “Hey, you seem to be really ill! Your operation and reaction are both slow. It’s best that you continue to


    recuperate. Why do you even bother to y games?”


    “Just look at you—you are so sick that you can’t even defeat a monster! You used to be aggressive and


    only took three minutes to defeat a monster, but now, you need thirty minutes to do so! You even died


    twice in the process!”


    “Forget it, you should stand aside. I will help you to defeat the monster! You should have more walnut


    milk to nourish your brain!”


    Sophia could no longer endure Stanley’s taunts and mocks, so she roared, “Shut up!”


    Her mind had been fuzzy and blurry for the past few days. Although she had been feeling slightly more


    alert for thest couple of days, her brain was still in a mushy state and she always felt sleepy.
