Chapter 414
After they made a pinky swear, Nathan still had his doubts about Michael. Still, Nate would observe him
for a while, considering how sincere Michael had been.
Michael reined in the smile on his face after his talk with Nathan and called up the production team in
Africa. Even though he had quickly wrapped up all his parts there to rush back home to make love to
Sophia, the production team was still filming back in Africa.
“The production needs some promotion. It’s time to kick things up a notch.”
Michael went down to the basement. Since he had been so busy withst night’s romp, he hadn’t even
gotten to greet Abel yet.
“How are things? Seen Fass Michel?” Abel immediately asked the moment Michael arrived.
Michael shook his head. “Just Linus Michel.”
Abel promptly searched up Linus in his database.
The Michels were a little on the mysterious side, but this Linus Michel was even more mysterious than
the rest of his family. He was only about twenty this year, and he only made a public appearance at the
age of sixteen. His history prior to that was aplete nk. There was nothing to be found at all. His
grades the past years had been excellent, and while he seemed to be next in line to head the family,
Fass Michel had already retreated to the shadows. So, Linus was practically the head of the Michel
Group on the surface.
There was more information on him than Fass, at least when it came to photos of him. A simple search
turned up plenty of photos of him at gs and such. He truly was a young prodigy for him to have
stabilized the entire Michel Family at the tender age of twenty.
Now that he had mentioned Linus, Michael asked Abel, “How’s the search for chica’s older brother?”
At that, Abel smacked his own head hard. “I was about to call you downst night, but you were so busy
getting it on with Sophia that I didn’t want to bother you. I’ve unearthed plenty of interesting things.”
Abel slowly went through the information that he had dug up. “I went to Europe and found the couple
who adopted the boy. They were indeed an educated family, but they were unable to conceive. They
viewed the boy like their own and gave him the best education they could.
The boy was three when he disyed astounding intellect. Thus, the media took notice of this, and he
even got to be on TV then. If this were to happen now, he probably would have been an Inte
celebrity. Unfortunately, the boy was kidnapped by a group of mysterious people when he was five.”
“Kidnapped?” Michael was greatly startled. “How did that happen?”
Abel shook his head and sighed. “The couple didn’t know who that group was. The group forcefully took
the child after they left a million for the couple. Since that group had far too much power in their hands, it
was no use even when the couple had reported this to the police.
They were simply too powerful. After they bought the kid, the group took away all photos of the boy, and
they even took down all videos of the TV stations’ interviews with him. All photos online were deleted as
well! I haven’t been able to so much as get my hands on one of the boy’s pictures.”
Michael’s expression turned stony. “Not even a single photo?”
However, Abel grinned mysteriously. “I wonder if you know about the blocks they put on the Inte here
back then?”
Back when the nation’s Inte infrastructure was in its infancy, in order to help the development of
nationalworks, the nation had limited its citizens’ ess to websites out of the country, all so that the
nation’s industry could grow.
“Years ago, some local websitespiled interesting articles about the world outside. Whoever was
pulling the strings may have unprecedented power, but he forgot about the blocks on the Inte here.
There are still a few holes in the Inte blocks,” Abel excitedly said. He then clicked on a photo in an
article in excitement. “Read this. Don’t be surprised now.”
Now that he had clicked on the photo, Michael saw that it was actually a blurry photo of a newspaper
article with the title ‘Child Prodigy Discovered Abroad—Four-Year-Old Boy Who Solves 3-Variable Linear
Equation’.
The apanying photo was a blurry one of a young boy. While it was blurry, Michael could still tell at
one nce that the boy in the photo was that of a different ethnicity.
He couldn’t help but furrow his brows. How was it possible for Sophia’s brother to be of a different
ethnicity? He was supposed to be her twin!
“I tracked down the nurse who took the boy. She said that she was rather close with Annabel, who had
begged her to save her children, asking her to take the children once they were born and ce them
with kind families.
N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
When Annabel gave birth to the first twin, the nurse took the boy and gave him to some distant rtives
who were infertile. She then tricked Annabel’s family with the corpse of a stillborn from another delivery.
Unfortunately, she didn’t have the time to move the other baby.”
Michael didn’t know what to say after listening to the story. The boy who had been taken away then was
raised by a family that loved knowledge, but Sophia, who hadn’t been able to be moved in time was
forced to suffer so much.
“The nurse confirmed that the boy had the appearance of a different ethnicity from his sister. She had
been so shocked back then, but medical science has an exnation for that: these are mixed twins.
Fraternal twins, basically. They don’t look alike at all.
Even their skin tone is different. There have been cases of other families with biracial twins who were
born like this as well. Cooper Mitchell’s mother was from a different ethnicity from his father, and Cooper
didn’t inherit her genes, but the boy did.”
Who would have thought there would be such a plot twist behind the scenes?
That mysterious person was so powerful that he could erase all proof of this boy’s existence from the
world, leaving behind only this blurry photo that was barely recognizable. It would be an uphill task to
track down the boy.
Truly, Sophia’s family was filled with secretly terrifying people!
A lightbulb lit up in Michael’s head as hepared the blurry picture of the child with Linus’ photo. Could
it be?
Meanwhile, Sophia slept till one in the afternoon, only waking up once she was hungry. It just so
happened that Michael had emerged from his study when she was heading downstairs. The two of them
ate in the dining room. As they ate, Michael kept teasing her. “Still angry?”
“Of course!” Sophia didn’t even bother to look up. As she ate, she deleted all the trashy selfies she took
with him that she had posted to social media.
All of a sudden, her browser rmended a trending article to her.
‘Shocking news: Female celeb carried away by lion while filming in Africa caught on video.’
Wow, this is one fascinating article.
She curiously clicked on that article. The video indeed showed there was a movie shoot at a savannah.
The actress had been acting with her male co-star, a mosaic on her face.
The camera then shifted when suddenly, a huge lion charged out from the side, picking up the actress
quickly before dashing off. Everyone there screamed while several bodyguards with rifles came in from
off-screen to chase after the lion. The production was in chaos.
The video shook the entire Inte when it was released. Wasn’t the actress who had been carried away
Faye Edwards? She had actually been carried away by a lion!
Sophia waspletely stunned.
Michael’s destructive power had struck again! As expected, whoever spread rumors about him would be
met with a bad fate.
Sophia browsed the news, revelling in Faye’s bad luck. The news said that Faye was rescued, but she
had nearly been bitten in half. She was suffering from severe blood loss and a bad emotional
breakdown, so she wrapped up filming ahead of schedule and went home.
Sophia scrolled through the news with one hand, delighting over Faye’s articles. She wondered if that
little hussy would dare to use her husband for fame like that again. However, Sophia didn’t notice that
Michael had grabbed her free hand and ced his own on top of it. Hisrge hand encased hers,
pressing their rings together.
Click. He snapped a picture of their hands together before editing Sophia’s hand to her liking. Once he
was done airbrushing her blemishes, he posted the picture to his Twitter ount that he hadn’t touched
in forever along with a caption.
‘I finished my filming as fast as I could so that I can go home. Atst, I managed to make it in time for our
second anniversary. We shall face our third year together side by side.’
