Chapter 448
Although Michael had only those few lines in that scene, he struggled toplete his part without error
for as long as he carried Sophia, unwilling to put her down even when it was time to rest.
Soon, Harry secretly approached Michael and begged with a soft voice, “Come on, buddy! Please get
the shot done as soon as possible. Look how tired you’ve made them; even your wife can’t stand that.
Now, look, she is yawning. Can you see that?”
Michael then shifted his gaze to Sophia, who was yawning in his arms. At first, Sophia’s heart fluttered
with excitement about the scene, but as the actor kept getting his lines wrong, she eventually grew tired
of the repeated takes they had to go through.
Oh gosh! I can’t take this anymore! How did Michael manage to hang in there all these years? I can’t
believe I dozed off and woke up, only to see him still trying.
Meanwhile, Michael would hate to spoil the fun moment that he was having with his wife, but he knew
he had to be even more serious after countless failed attempts toplete the shot. In his next try,
Michael finally found himself in the right mood and quickly said his lines without error,pleting the
shot with surprising ease, while the entire crew moved on to the next shot in relief. It was then that he
finally put Sophia down.
After a long afternoon, Sophia was beat as she yawned in exhaustion. She then sat down and drank
some water while watching the filming process from the side. The shot is finally over, but the next one is
probably going to look awkward.
The reason Sophia thought that way was because the protagonist was expected to retrieve the female
supporting character who was again needed to be carried. There are three of us here who could y the
role, but which of us should go ahead? In fact, Harry wished for Sophia to finish the act, but she was not
the best fit, considering the awkward situation they were in.
As for Natasha, he shared a mutual disgusted feeling with her, and neither was X his favorite. In the
end, Harry decided to use a dummy instead. While Michael carried on with the shoot in a serious
manner, every other cast member merely just went about their jobs in peace.
In the meantime, Natasha was seen sitting aside with a resentful look on her face, insisting on waiting for
her opportunity of the day. Not long after that, Olivia came closer to Natasha andforted her.
“Don’t let your wild imagination upset you. This is a set, so you need to keep your distance even if Taylor
allowed you to participate in the filming.”
Meanwhile, Sophia settled down in a corner and connected her phone to Michael’s Wi-Fi, absorbed in
her social media. In fact, Stanley had created a private group chat with only three members, including
himself, Sophia, and Sean. This chatroom, which was active at the moment, was a ce for them all to
discuss their work , as well as office gossip.
Sean’s message popped up in the group. ‘Natasha has been squandering a lot in the past two days, and
the Mitchell Family is not happy about it. Therefore, I believe you’d have won the battle against her if you
had hung in there a little longer, Mrs. Murray.
Nevertheless, people like her won’t give up so easily, even if they have to exhaust their entire fortune.
Therefore it’s best that you be careful these few days.’
Before Sophia could respond, Stanley replied in the chat group. ‘Darn it! ‘Mrs. Murray’ sounds disgusting!
By the way, can you change a new profile picture instead of my uncle’s?
You’re going to give me a heart attack for that! Aren’t you worried that your ID would give away the truth
that you’re married to my uncle, Mrs. Murray? Hello, anyone there? Say something, Eddie!’
On the other hand, Sophia only read the conversation in the chat group like a fly on the wall. In reality,
the Mitchell Family couldn’t afford Natasha’s extravagant spending habit even though they might be well
off.
Furthermore, they were also aware of their own financial situation that was growing increasingly worrying
ever since Cooper left. Besides, Alex and Natasha were not part of the Mitchell Family, so the rest of the
family members would surely frown on their doing.
After incurring a huge cost on building the museum, Natasha was probably too broke to afford any other
expense. Even so, Sophia saw no meaning in fighting Natasha, not to mention the risk that she might
even blow her cover. Soon, she suddenly responded to the group. ‘I don’t see a purpose in spending any
more unnecessary money.’
After that, the group chat seemed to be silent as everyone appeared to be busy attending to their own
matters. Not long after that, Sean suddenly replied in the group chat. ‘Darn you, Eddie! You’re bluffing
again! Check the news for yourself! I didn’t know that Mrs. Murray was so loaded! Alright, give me
money, or I’m going to start spilling your secret!’
Wait, what? What’s going on? Sophia quickly checked the news of the day that popped up on her news
feed. ‘Breaking News: A rich fan of a male star donated the long-lost valuable artifact—‘Imperial Seal’.’
Jeez!
The Imperial Seal! Who’s got a fan even richer than Natasha and me?! Without hesitation, she
immediately proceeded to read the article about the news.
‘Two days ago, an anonymous package was received at Bayside City Museum, which turned out to be a
long-lost artifact—the ‘Imperial Seal’. Hundreds of historians have spent nights verifying it before they all
concluded that this piece of artifact was indeed built during Emperor Alexander’s reign over a thousand
years ago.
The Imperial Seal marks the highest standard of exquisite craftsmanship, deemed to be the national
treasure that was kept in the pce for more than a millennium. Therefore, it has witnessed the changes
throughout different dynasties and the reigns of different rulers, qualifying as an emblem of royal and
power.
In fact, it even went missing during a war a few hundred years ago, which was a pity to most historians,
as well as a disgrace to the nation before it subsequently became the biggest unsolved mystery until
recently.
Since the Imperial Seal has returned to its rightful ce, it will be disyed at Bayside City Museum
from now on. While the historians rejoice in its return, the news has apparently concerned all relevant
ministers, as well as the president himself. Ever since the release of this exciting announcement, the
Imperial Pce has been surrounded by a huge crowd of history fanatics waiting to witness this piece of
artifact.
ording to history, the Imperial Seal was built by the ipetent emperor at the cost of his people’s
welfare to signify his royal status a millennium ago. The seal was made of a few rare materials with
perfect craftsmanship, although countless lives were lost in the process of making it. Most importantly,
this royal emblem possesses a value that is deemed to be immeasurable.
Many emperors were allegedly willing to sacrifice anything in order to get their hands on this treasure,
some of which were willing to exchange several cities for it; some were willing to sacrifice a city of
people, while others would even kill their brothers for it.
Therefore, it is undoubtedly a witness that has seen all changes that happened throughout different
dynasties over thest millennium. Other than that, there was an invasion that took ce in the pce a
few hundred years ago, in which the conquerors massacred all the royal members and stole the Imperial
Seal.
Although it may just be an ordinary small seal to many others, it’s probably one of the oldest artifacts that
has been in the hands of many different historical rulers. While its worth cannot be reliably estimated, its
value is believed to equal the tax ie that has been collected in thest thousand years.
Therefore, the entire nation is thrilled and happy to wee the return of the Imperial Seal! As for the
anonymous donor, this mysterious figure allegedly goes by an alias named—Eddie Fletcher.’
