Chapter 606


    Michael wore a grim expression on his face. He now understood that the main question wasn’t who the


    kid’s father was, but whether he was willing to get married to Natasha. If he refused to do it, the Mitchells


    might really send their entire family after him!


    On the other hand, the Fletchers were well-aware of their own capabilities, so they would probably stay


    out of this. Michael didn’t want them to be a part of this either—they represented the military, and he


    didn’t want his own issues to tarnish the reputation of his family name.


    Sean and Stanley’s gaze were fixed on Michael’s grim face as they anxiously waited for him toe up


    with a n. Right then, Old Master Fletcher gave them a call, his voice concerned as he immediately


    cried, “What’s going on, Mikey? Everyone on the Inte is talking bad about you!”


    “It’s no big deal, Grandpa. Let us youngsters handle these issues ourselves. You don’t have to worry


    about it,” Michael uttered.


    “Is that child really your…” Old Master Fletcher was clearly still concerned about the incident.


    “No.”


    Old Master Fletcher didn’t seem to beforted by Michael’s answer as he continued, “It sounds like


    they’re all extremely certain that you’re the father. Do you need me to help you out with this?”


    “It’s fine.” After talking to Old Master Fletcher for a while longer, Michael glumly ended the call. Before he


    could say anything, he received another call from the security guard who was in charge of their


    residential area’s entrance. Apparently, there were 10 members of the Mitchell Family who were already


    waiting outside the entrance—they were demanding to meet him in order to discuss the child’s matters.


    Apart from a few older members of the family, the family head, Alex, and Natasha herself were also


    present in the group. Stanley was extremely shocked to hear this. “Sh*t, sh*t! It looks like the Mitchells


    aren’t going to let you off the hook since Alex came over personally. What should we do now, Uncle


    Michael?”


    With a nonchnt, breezy voice, Michael addressed the security guard on the other end of the call, “Tell


    them to f*ck off.” The security guard passed the exact message to Alex, whose face darkened the minute


    he heard what Michael had said. He rolled his sleeves up in anger—this simple sentence meant that


    Michael had just dered war against the Mitchell Family, one of the four greatest families in the whole


    of Bayside City! Things were about to change in Bayside City.


    Both Stanley and Sean were shocked to hear how straightforward and heartless Michael was with his


    words—he could’ve spoken to them face to face at the very least! It isn’t a surprise that the Mitchells got


    furious after receiving such a cold, heartless rejection.


    …


    At the same time, Sophia was on a call in the study room. Linus was the first person to phone her the


    minute he found out about the incident. He kept quiet for a moment before speaking, “I’m sorry. I was


    careless, and it resulted in so much trouble for you. I’m going to clear things up.” The guilt in his voice


    could be heard through their international phone call. This was the first time Sophia had spoken to him


    since he left a few months ago.


    “There’s nothing to apologize for. This entire incident stemmed from the longsting grudges Natasha


    and I have been holding against each other. You’ve already done enough for me. Thank you, but I think


    I’ll have to be the one to deal with the uing issues.” The line then fell silent for a while. After a few


    seconds, Linus offered, “You can still look for me if you need me to help out with anything.”


    Sophia giggled before she replied, “Thank you, but please let me handle this. I can do it myself.” The line


    fell silent yet again. Sophia actually had tons of questions to ask Linus, but she didn’t know where to


    start. He seemed to feel the same way toward her.


    “Well, I guess that’s it, then. It should bete where you’re staying. I’ll end the call now; don’t stay up too


    late.” Linus ended the call only to realize that he had only gone through about one-tenth of all the things


    he had nned to talk about in his head. He wanted to ask if she was fine, if Nathan was fine, whether


    Nichs was doing its job… Yet he couldn’t seem to ask any of those questions.


    After ending the call, he picked up the book he was reading, ‘Mighty Me’, and continued flipping through


    the pages. He was one of the first batches to have pre-ordered the book, and he finally got his hands on


    it. He nced through the book, his eyes scanning across each page, as if the gentle, delicate words on


    the page could allow him to interact with her inner world. There was even her own signature scribbled on


    the title page of the book. He chuckled when he came to the part about ‘Brooke Edwards’. I can’t believe


    she still remembers everything so clearly…


    Meanwhile, in Vi No. 8 at The Imperial, Sophia couldn’t help but giggle while she shook her head after


    ending the call and zoning out for a while. She finally understood Linus’ intentions. The most cruel thing


    he did wasn’t selling Natasha off to a poor mountain area; it was to have her rescued and faced with the


    Mitchells and the public after she was sold off.


    To Sophia, the scariest and toughest memory wasn’t the traumatic incident where she was vited at a


    young age, but the experience of her traumatic incident being exposed to the public such that everyone


    was aware of how she had been vited as a young girl. It made her feel like she had nowhere to


    escape to back then… If a respectable and blue-blooded youngdy had to go through what she had


    encountered, what would it feel like for her? It must be worse than death itself!


    This time, the Mitchell Family really discarded their pride to start a fight with Michael. Judging by the


    situation, they seemed to have really given up on all their honor and dignity for the sake of starting a full-


    fledged, tumultuous fight with Michael, where either party would lose terribly. The Mitchells made their


    stance clear—they’d never let him go if he refused to marry Natasha.


    Most of the partnering businesses who had worked with Michael were forced to cut ties with him after


    being coerced by Mitchell Family. Even directors and producers in the film industry began to make public


    statements, criticizing Michael’s irresponsible behaviors before stating that they’d never work with him


    again in the future. Theizens who started off feeling doubtful about the whole situation gradually


    shifted their beliefs as Michael refused to make any public statements or replies—they took his silence


    as a sign that he was ashamedly admitting to his faults.


    All of a sudden, everyone agreed that Taylor’s entertainment career had indeede to an end.


    Everything before this had merely been groundless usations against him, but things actually got real


    this time. Michael had two movies that were scheduled to be screened—one of it being ‘War Dragon’,


    and the other being a tribute film—but both, as expected, reported dys in their screening dates.

    Taylor’s scandal wasn’t just covered in local news reports; it even spread across countries and was


    turned into an international highlight. The issue of Taylor impregnating Natasha turned into the headlines


    of entertainment news across the globe. He was a well-known actor, and nasty incidents like these


    spread quicker than any other types of news.


    Despite this, Taylor didn’t seem interested in giving anyments about it. He remained calm as ever,


    and he didn’t even post anything on his Twitter—only Eddie’s Twitter remained active every now and


    then. Her Twitter content mostly included games, posts fangirling over other celebrities, and the


    asional sharing of adorable puppies, kittens and robots. It was almost as if she was saying, ‘Life is


    good, and everything else is none of my business’, even though she received more than ten thousand


    hate tweets every day.


    Although she didn’t seem to be concerned, the public definitely expressed their great worries to her.


    “Damn it, you have to say something about this, Sophia! Look at these news articles; they’re all calling


    Uncle Michael a d*ckhead! They even said that you’re heartless! Uncle Michael’s entertainment career is


    over! It’s over!”


    …


    Stanley moved around like an active monkey every day, and he rushed over to look for Sophia one day.


    He hadn’t seen Sophia giving any form of reaction ever since the news of Natasha’s pregnancy surfaced;


    she went to work like usual each day and even went out for meals and shopped, as if she wasn’t affected


    by any of it. Stanley thought that he would’ve been sobbing in fear if he were in her position—imagine


    being cursed by ten thousand people each day! Who could remain calm in such a situation?!
