Chapter 578
Having eaten another spicy chicken strip, Sophia burped. “Apart from Phantom Wolf, what else was I
ever afraid of?” She had already seen the entire guest list for Linus’ banquet. Apart from Michael’s ex,
Irene Weber, another one of Michael’s exes would also be there.
Before Michael wedded Sophia, he was in two rtionships. The first person was Irene, and the second
person… was someone whom Sophia had never seen in person before, but she was certain that she
would meet her at the banquet. Speaking of that, Sophia was slightly excited. After eating another spicy
strip, she quickly went to wash her face and put on a facial mask. The day before the banquet, knowing
that Michael wasing home, Sophia took a shower in advance so that Michael would see her best
side.
After Michael came home, Stanley and Sean also showed up saying that since they were attending
Linus’ banquet tomorrow, they decided toe and visit them today. Even though Michael had been
busy and was rarely home, he would nheless check the surveince system installed in the house.
Seeing how Sophia stayed home the entire time ying video games, working, studying, and working
out, he felt bad for her. As soon as I catch Phantom Wolf, Sophia will be able to go out and get some
fresh air!
The moment Stanley came through the door, he began to roast Sophia, “Uncle Michael, look at Eddie—
she’s turning into a slob!”
Of course, Michael could not be bothered by thatment. Holding Sophia’s hand, Michael and
Sophia went into their room and did note out for a long, long time.
After cing his bag on the floor, Stanley sneaked into the wine cer to drink some wine while Sean
went to Vi No. 2 to check on Linus and the banquet preparations. After school, Nathan came home
with Nichs just in time for dinner. Meanwhile, Michael came out of his room after having sex and
showering.
After dinner, Michael secretively asked Nathan to go into his study. Upon entering, Michael locked the
door. Now that it was just the two of them, Nathan immediately turned from an adorable boy into an
unfriendly and rebellious teenager—even his pure and na?ve voice turned deep and nonchnt.
At this point, he gave Michael a cold nce and said, “Is there anything? Get on with it; I have some
school work to finish tonight.”
Michael proceeded to take out a picture of a gorgeous man of mixed race; that person looked
exceptionally fine and had a unique temperament. “Do you recognize him? Have you seen him before?”
Giving him another nonchnt nce before looking away, Nathan responded, “I don’t; never saw him
before.”
Watching Nathan lie through his teeth, Michael held in his urge to p him. Before this, the poor Nathan
did not have a mother, so Michael could not get himself to hit him. Now that Nathan had both Celine and
Sophia, Michael reckoned that he would not feel as bad for hitting him.
That picture was a picture of Cooper, whose house Nathan had often visited during holidays. Nathan
would stay at his ce and sleep on his bed, and the room where Nathan slept had Cooper’s pictures
everywhere. How could Nathan say that he did not recognize that person? Something was wrong—
terribly wrong.
Once again, Michael asked patiently, “Is this person the person who helped you fix Nichs?”
Nathan responded, “No.”
“Did he say anything to you?”
“No.”
“Do you know where he is now?”
“No.”
“Do you have his contact details?”
“No.”

Feeling annoyed, Michael stared at Nathan for a good while before giving in. In the end, he patted his
head and said, “I know you made him a promise. Since he doesn’t want you to say anything, I won’t
force you. You can go now.”
Hearing that, Nathan fled right away. Sitting at his desk, Michael was in a daze as he stared at Cooper’s
picture. The secret had been revealed—Fass and Cooper were the same person!
That day, it was Cooper who fixed Nichs, installed a defensive system, and upgraded his functionality.
Perhaps he never imagined that doing that saved the life of his daughter. It seemed that this was all
fated…
If Michael found out about this back in the days, he might have excitedly broken the news to Sophia for
her to be reunited with her father. However, at this point, he felt somewhat hesitant.
ording to Celine, Phantom Wolf had a steady stream of financial support from many politicians and
financial groups. Having said that, the Michel Family ran the biggest financial group in Northern Europe.
If Sophia learned about the many connections between the Phantom Wolf and the Michel Family, she
might be disheartened. Then, Michael cautiously put the picture away in his drawer before he leaned
back. Let me find a proper time to let Sophia know about this…
Soon enough, the banquet hosted by Linus took ce. On that day, Sophia went over extremely early.
Since she could not really go anywhere else, now that Linus had hosted a party in her neighborhood, she
would have to be the first one to be there.
After getting changed, Michael decided to go with Sophia. Among all the invitees today, there were many
familiar faces, including exes, their ex’s new partners, and admirers. As such, Michael reckoned that he
had to be on the alert today.
When the two got there, they were among the first to arrive. As such, they proceeded to find a spot to
y cards to kill time. As this was the first banquet Linus had ever hosted, he decided to put together an
incredibly grand event to show everyone the wealth and generosity of the Michel Family.
At that banquet, there were many robot servers. These robots were intelligent and could automatically
avoid knocking into anyone while they were swiftly moving around. There was a 3D projector installed on
the ceiling of the living room, so when one looked up, one could see a colorful sky as well as some
pces in between the clouds. asionally, there would be fairies flying across the sky sprinkling
colorful petals.
As Michael watched the petals fall, he could not help reaching out to catch them, but the moment he
touched the petals, they dismantled into a pile of red ashes, disappearing immediately. What a special
effect that Linus has here…
When Michael looked up, he saw another fairy as she flew across the sky and circled the room several
times. The sight of this impressed everyone there. Not just that, but the fairy looked exactly like Sophia.
This was an extremely advanced special effect technology that could vividly portray human faces.
Since Sophia helped with the nning of this banquet, she came up with this theme on fairies and
pces and included herself as the fairies. Linus was able to scan her face to create the faces of the
fairies.
Michael proceeded to find a couch to sit on. After reading the menu on the floating screen, he ordered a
Martini, which was delivered to him by a robot in just a few minutes. He was stunned to have taken the
ss of Martini from the robot; technology did have the power to change the way humans lived, and
since automation might be the way to go in the future, Linus’ line of profession would be very lucrative.
At this moment, Linus was busy attending to his guests, so Sophia and Stanley decided to y
ckjack. A whileter, Harry showed up with Sarah. “Please scoot over; I need a spot.” Harry nudged
Stanley.
Having cards in his hand and a lollipop in his mouth, Stanley felt annoyed and responded, “There’s only
room for four on this couch. Go and sit somewhere else!” Insisting on sitting there, Harry tried his best to
squeeze himself in before Sophia stood up and sat on Michae’sp, creating a spot for Harry. After Harry
sat down, he asked Sarah to sit on hisp. Just like that, six of them sat on that couch.
Being surrounded by two lovey-dovey couples, Stanley felt annoyed. “All of you are public figures, so can
you please behave properly?” Much to his dismay, none of them heard his protests.
Now that more and more guests had arrived, asional nces were being thrown at them, making
Sophia, who was sitting on Michael’sp, feel uneasy. This was their first public appearance as husband
and wife, so perhaps it was not too presentable if people saw her sitting on hisp.
