Chapter 628
The illegitimate children had dreamed of seeing their father more often. They weren’t expecting to inherit
the Mitchell’s Family, but they just hoped that Alex would visit them asionally and provide them with a
bit more living expenses every month. If Alex was in a good mood, he would reward them with a gift that
ordinary people would never dream of having.
These two siblings were just some of the many illegitimate children Alex had raised outside. Although
they were well fed and had a roof over their heads, anyone would want to work their way up to thedder
of sess.
Speaking of Derek’s sister, Sophia remembered that his sister—Sandra—was about to graduate high
school this year. She was an art student who had great athletic performance.
“By the way, what about your sister? How is she doing?”
Derek didn’t know what to feel about his older sister. Even though they were only a year apart, their
rtionship was quite strained because it felt like a million year generation gap. They were never
close, which was why he rarely mentioned anything about his sister.
“Oh, my mother is pretty worried about Sandra. My sister is in the swimming team, so she was almost
selected for the national team to represent Cethos to participate in the Universal Games.”
Sophia knew that Sandra was a swimmer, but she didn’t expect that thetter had nearly made it to the
national team…
The Universal Games was the biggest event in the world! Being able to participate in the games was
already impressive, not to mention winning a prize from it! Winning a bronze medal in the Universal
Games was more than enough to honor one’s ancestors!
Sophia felt a tug at her heartstrings as her ears perked up.
Sandra was Derek’s sister, which meant that she was also Alex’s daughter. From what she could
remember, Sandra looked simr to Cooper but had Alex’s proud temperament.
“Why didn’t she get in?” Sophia asked.
Derek shrugged. “Sabotage, I guess… Besides, my mom had to take care of my stupid, good-for-nothing
uncle. Hence, she didn’t have enough money to buy better equipment for my sister. You probably don’t
know this, but the swimmers in their team wear swimsuits worth several millions which have been
personally designed by well known designers. When they put it on, they’re faster by a few more seconds
—those mere seconds can make a great difference to their results. My sister didn’t have such good
equipment, so her results weren’t as impressive as theirs. We didn’t even have enough money for her
expenses.”
“I don’t think she’ll be joining this year’s Universal Games, so my mom has been trying to contact Alex
about it. However, he hasn’t visited my mom in a year.”
…
Those were just mindless words, but Sophia had already taken the matter to her heart.
In the end, Sophia dropped Derek near Riverdale High School and threw Ben and Rosie to the nearby
police station.

As they bid farewell to each other, Sophia said, “You helped me so much before, so now it’s my turn to
help you. I’ve helped you with your uncle, so don’t go out to the streets with him anymore. I’ll try to talk to
the principal about your studies. Your results were great back then, so it shouldn’t be hard to get you
reinstated. I’ll also help you figure out a way to help your sister’s situation.”
Derek looked embarrassed. “Sophia, you don’t have to do this—”
Sophia patted his shoulder and said, “It’s fine. Rx and just focus on studying well. When you’re done
with your studies,e and work for me in mypany.”
After sending Derek away, Sophia changed her clothes in the car and asked Michael to drop her off at
Riverdale High School.
The principal of Riverdale High School was more than kind to her. That year, Sophia had run more than
ten miles alone in the middle of the night and knocked on his door when she was beaten and covered in
blood. He took her in and brought her back to Liam’s house to get her identification documents and
luggage.
When Liam refused to let her go, the principal had threatened him by taking out his phone to report
Liam’s family of child abuse. He had sessfully intimidated Liam into letting him take Sophia away.
After she had got hold of Cooper’s inheritance, Sophia turned into a millionaire overnight. She followed
Michael’s footsteps and donated a building and a library to Riverdale High School, keeping in touch with
the principal.
After several days of persuasion and trips, Sophia dragged Derek along and made him kneel in front of
the principal to admit his mistakes. The principal finally agreed to reinstate his status as a student and
allowed him to continue studying.
After she was finished with Derek’s education, she started to work enthusiastically on Sandra’s affairs.
The Universal Games was only held once every four years; it was a major event that attracted the
attention of the world. If a representative won a gold medal at the games, it would bring utmost glory to
his or her country!
Derek’s mother used to be a synchronized swimmer, but her results were not extraordinary. Because of
her outstanding looks, Alex took a liking to her and made him his mistress. After she retired, she
gradually lost her beauty as the years went by. Hence, she ced all her hope and dreams onto her son
and daughter.
In fact, Sandra performed well and even surpassed her mother, but shecked the right timing and
resources…
Michael noticed that Sophia had stopped fighting and was using all her connections to get Derek’s sister
into this year’s Universal Games expedition team to represent Cethos.
After studying at Bayside University for thest two years, she had umted her own contacts; she
also knew several people who were in the sports scene. For instance, her ssmate Molly had a brother
who was a basketball superstar. He was also the most expensive basketball yer in Cethos.
She got her contacts to get Sandra into the expedition team for this year’s Universal Games and even
spent millions on a high tech swimsuit for the girl.
Michael knew that Sophia was not that kind; even if she had a good rtionship with Derek, they were
still Alex’s illegitimate children. There seemed to be an ulterior motive behind her enthusiasm, but
Michael just couldn’t seem to figure out what it was…
Summer break had soon arrived, and Sophia spent all her time on her work. After helping the Oak
Family to solve their problems, she began to work earnestly while Michael was packing up for a movie
shooting in a film studio out of town.
When Danny came to pick Michael up, he was dressed in green leather pants. He also sported colorfully
dyed hair and a pair of sassy sses. Michael was very worried that Sophia would go out fighting again,
so he told Hale and Gary to keep an eye on her. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to persuade her, but
there would be someone who could block a knife for her at the very least when they followed her.
Hale despised the fact that he had to help Sophia fight a group of high school students, but he still had to
ept Michael’s orders.
With that, Michael left on his private jet. Ever since Sophia had received Cooper’s inheritance, she was
living like a noblewoman. She had so much money to spend that she even bought Michael his own
private jet ne.
From now on, her idol would no longer be afraid of stupid fans blocking his way—he could go wherever
he wanted to!
Michael had begun filming his new movie in a film studio. He had invested in the production of this movie
and polished the script numerous times. They hired many A-list movie stars as well as rising talents.
For example, an influencer named Chester—whose career had been quite sessful thanks to his
dashing Westerner looks that looked almost like Cooper—had already charmed many of the women in
Cethos.
This time round, Michael wanted Chester to act in a supporting role. Chester would portray a heartless
western merchant who specialized in stealing Cethos cultural relics and would be beaten up by him, the
protagonist. Pretending that he was beating up Cooper seemed like a pretty good idea…
