Chapter 675
It took Michael a lot of effort to help Sophia vent her frustrations. The next day, his whole body felt sore. I
can’t do this anymore—I’m getting old. The disadvantages of an old husband with a young wife is
apparent now. I feel as if I’mpletely worn, but she is a young woman with healthy needs and desires.
Previously, I was thirty while she was twenty, but soon, she’ll be thirty, whereas I’ll be forty.
Today, Harry deliberately came over to their house to thank Michael. “Michael, thank you very much. If it
weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to keep the situation under control.”
Michael was slumped on the couch. He didn’t want to move at all because he felt as if he had been
completely hollowed out. I wh*re myself out, but he’s benefitting from it. Hahaha.
“I’m going to say the same thing—get your cheap mother-inw to behave.” This is thest
chance. Harry nodded earnestly. That mother-inw of mine isn’t a good person, but I am her son-inw,
after all. Hence, I have to y my part. Nevertheless, it wouldn’t be my fault if this happens again.
Harry didn’te empty-handed. In fact, he brought along a load of male supplements because he
knew that Michael would need some health supplements for his sex life in the next few days.
Sophia dropped by thepany after she went to the university. After that, she left thepany to visit
Simba in the veterinary hospital. Yesterday, Garfield was sent over as well because it needed treatment
since its ws were trimmed horribly, and it bled profusely. Two days had passed, and the two cats were
recovering well. Therefore, Sophia took both cats home from the vet.

Michael was done with work, but when he arrived home, he was greeted with nine cats in the house. The
floor was covered with dung, and he felt disgusted. Initially, there was only Chrysanthemum, but Old
Master Fletcher sent Simba over to mate. Later, Sophia bought a pair of new cats to keep thempany
before Linus gave her another one.
Besides, there was a stealthy magpie cat efficient in catching mice in the kitchen, which Michael had
never even met, since it often showed up and disappeared swiftly. And then there was the one she
snatched from Judy, as well as Sunset and the other two cats Stanley left at her ce.
That’s a total of ten cats! There are two dogs as well! After New Year, they’ll all mate and give birth to
puppies and kittens! There’ll be even more then! Oh, my. It doesn’t matter how much I earn because they
will eat a hole through my pocket!
Michael barely sat on the couch in the living room when the group of cats started surrounding him. They
got entangled into a fight while trying topete against each other to take the position on his knees.
Cat fur started flying around since they were biting each other.
In the end, Michael held the new Persian cat in his arms. This cat belonged to Judy initially, and its
buttocks were burnt during a barbecue. It was abandoned since it was marred by a scar. Now, it was
here with Sophia, and she named it ‘Scorchy’. Michael was touching the burnt cat’s bottom when he saw
Ivan, who was recording each cat’s progress.
Under Sophia and Sarah’s financial support, his luxurious design studio had started moving forward. The
Marketing and Design Departments had started hiring. Ivan was experienced in this aspect, and so he
carried out the task well. The studio had not started operating officially because it was in the stages of
going through the formalities of hiring people. The first job was to design a series of costumes for
Sophia’s cats and dogs so that she could help advertise.
First of all, Ivan was familiar with each cat’s temperament and personality. Hence, he designed based on
their appearance and temperament. For example, Chrysanthemum had a greasy, middle-aged man
appearance, and it was the leader in the pack.
It was steady and skilled while having a matured and forceful presence. Therefore, when designing for it,
the style had to be modest and dignified. Furthermore, it was slightly on the heavy side, and so the
designs had to be slightlyrger to ensure appropriate proportions.
On the other side, Stanley’s Sunset was just like a little princess… Sunset already had a very gorgeous
noble appearance, and so its cor couldn’t be too shy. Hence, it had to be designed in a conservative
manner; otherwise, they would steal each other’s limelight…
Ivan had a sketch paper in one hand while he patted the cats and dogs with another. He still preferred to
design for these furry animals because caressing their fluffy and furry coats gave him boundless
inspiration. Ivan would lie down for a while, and then he’d be sprawled on his stomach. Then, he would
be sitting down for a bit before standing up; after that, he would even nap for some time. He found it
liberating.
Sophia set a tight deadline, and so this was a test for him. Ivan had to create something that he was
satisfied with within the shortest time possible. After drawing the designs, Ivan would have to hire an
artisan group to manufacture them before Edward Family’s Annual Meeting. Therefore, Ivan had been
living in Michael’s house for the past few days.
Sean showed up today suddenly at the house alone, but he brought along some of Cooper’s personal
belongings he had left behind. “Uncle Michael, I found some of Uncle Cooper’s belongings he left behind
from the family archive. You should give them to Sophia when you have the chance.”
Sean left right after passing over the items. Michael took out his father-inw’s belongings to have a
look. It was a box of old stuff, and they were mostly things like diaries, photo albums, books, and such.
Michael picked up a picture to have a look at it. In the photograph, Cooper appeared especially young;
he must have been about 18 years old. He looked delicate and young, whereas a young man with a
pretty face, who was about the same age and height, was standing beside him. The two men had their
arms around each other’s shoulders, and they seemed close.
“This pretty face looks familiar…” Michael rubbed his chin, but he just couldn’t recall where he had seen
this man before. This photograph had been taken more than twenty years ago after all. I probably don’t
know him personally even if he’s someone I find familiar. Then, he flipped the picture to look at its back.
Cooper Mitchell, Andrea Edwards, photographed in 199X.
Andrea… Michael stared at the word ‘Andrea’ while spacing out. For some reason, he thought of Sophia
Edwards.
Sophia Edwards, Sophia, So-phea… Could it be possible that… The dream was referring to ‘Andrea’??
Is it possible that Andrea Edwards and Cooper shared a secret rtionship, and that was why they
picked the name ‘Sophia’ for their child? However, Cooper wasn’t even aware that he had a child. In his
ns, he most probably hadn’t expected Annabel to be pregnant so quickly. It was impossible for him to
have named the child, and so Annabel must have given the child her name. Hence, Annabel was the one
who had the dream?
…
The Edward Family’s Annual Meeting was just around the corner. Sophia was managing her businesses,
whereas Faye and Joe were trying to figure out the best way to ‘sell’ Sophia while benefiting from it. On
the other side, Judy was also nning on taking advantage of Sophia.
Taylor has be fat, and so his career as a celebrity is in ruins. In fact, he would struggle to get work
in the future. Therefore, Sophia wouldn’t have a good life soon. Faye spread those lies just for her own
satisfaction. However, after lying for so long, she even managed to fool herself. Sophia has been stirring
up trouble just because Taylor has been protecting her. So if Taylor is out of a job, Sophia would have
nothing to stand on and nothing to be proud of. I’m sure if Sam were to truly show interest in Sophia,
Taylor might very well beg Sam on bent knees to take Sophia as a partner in bed! If Sam is willing to
help, it means that Taylor’s future and career would be salvageable!
That group of people had been nning and scheming. Soon, the Edwards Family’s Annual Meeting
finally arrived…
That day, the private ind owned by the Edwards Family was decorated in a grand-scale, and it was
crowded with people. Private yachts and private boats docked one after another at the pier of Edwards
Ind as groups of people d in shy and splendid clothes streamed onto the ind. The red carpet
extended from the pier right into the ind’srge and magnificent resort. asionally, there’d be
private nes flying overhead tond on the ind’s ramp.
The annual Edwards Family’s Annual Meeting was thergest event for the Edwards Family n. The
Edwards Family bloodline had stretched across centuries, and there were descendants of the Edwards
Family all over the world. They would all return specifically for the Edwards Family’s Annual Meeting.
