Chapter 693
Before Michael leftst night, he put Nichs on security mode. If anyone tried to break in, Nichs
wouldunch an attack on them right away. If it was someone he knew, he woulde out to greet
them.
When Michael came homest night, however, Nichs did note out to greet him. Moreover, he
was still nowhere in sight today.

“Nichs?” Michael called. When there was no response, he went and found Nichs in a corner.
Nichs had been powered off and was standing there silently.
Michael turned his power back on, but there was no response. He tried charging him but it was to no
avail.
He’s broken again! Why does he keep breaking down?
When Sophia learned that Nichs had broken down, she quickly grabbed some tools and began
repairing him. Her efforts were in vain, however, as Nichs did not power back on. Fortunately, Linus
was still around. She quickly pushed Nichs along with her to look for him.
Linus took a careful look at Nichs. Because he did not have his equipment with him, he could only
tear Nichs apart and observe with his naked eyes. After inspecting Nichs for a while, Linus finally
found out what was wrong with him. There was a lot of powdered graphite in his system and in the room
as well!
This substance could damage electronic equipment the moment it came into contact with it. It would
cause a short circuit which would result in the equipment going out of order.
Linus tinkered around a bit and finally managed to repair Nichs. He opened Nichs’ daily work
record but found that the footage from that period was missing.
Sophia also could not remember what happenedst night. All she remembered was Michael leaving the
room anding back again.
Because she had drunk a lot, she ended up sleeping like a log.
She pondered for a while then said, “After you leftst night, hubby, I remember Judgeing up to me
and licking my face! Could he have ruined Nichs?”Michael immediately froze and felt his hair stand on
the back of his neck.
Last night, Judge had gotten drunk and passed out on the beach. Michael was the one that carried it
back. Judge did not move an inch throughout the night!
It was even a bit hungover this morning. After drinking some toilet water and having a few bites of
cucumber, it simply went back to sleep.
How could it have licked Sophia’s facest night?
Michael felt mortified the more he thought about it. He looked over at Sophia frantically, but she seemed
indifferent. When he came backst night, she was sound asleep. She was also full of energy this
morning and wanted to be on top.
What on earth happenedst night? I’m positive someone came in!
There were around forty minutes when Michael put her to sleep and went back to the beach to talk to
Linus, then came back again. Anything could have happened during that time!
He suddenly felt a sense of terror and quickly went to hug Sophia.
He was too carelessst night to have left her alone in the room. If someone had gone in and taken her,
then it would have been a disaster.
Thank goodness, she’s still here! This is all that I can ask for.
Meanwhile, Sophia’s focus was on something else. Touching the part of her face where Judge licked her
last night, she fearfully asked, “Judge didn’t eat fecesst night, right?’
…
Michael canceled all his ns and wanted to leave the small ind as soon as possible. The incident
fromst night still gave him goosebumps. He did not want to stay there another moment longer.
Since it was the Edwards Family’s annual meeting, he assumed that all those malicious people would
hide themselves. Who knew they would still try to harm Sophia?
He had no idea what happened in the forty minutes that he was gone, and he did not dare to think of the
possibilities either. It was fine as long as nothing happened to her.
When Harry found out that they were leaving, he quickly packed his things and followed along, not
forgetting to take Sarah with him. Sarah decided to leave with him because she did not want to travel
with the West Family.
Unexpectedly, Sam also followed them. “Are you guys leaving? Please excuse me, but my boat broke
down. I noticed that you have quite a big boat. If you don’t mind, can I hop on as well?”
Even though Michael was a bit reluctant, he still agreed to let him on. Sam went on the boat with a few
suitcases and his bodyguards.
Then, the small naval ship departed Edwards Ind.
Michael kept paying attention to Sophia, but she seemed normal today. There was not much of a change
in her. Nheless, he was still very worried.
After Sam got on the boat, he kept looking through his telescope. A momentter, he seemed to have
discovered something as he looked at Sophia and said joyously, “I see it!”
She hurriedly asked, “What is it?”
He gave her a dubious smile. “This area is called Shark Bay. There are a lot of sharks here.”
Sharks!
Sophia looked into the telescope excitedly and saw shark fins gliding through the water a distance away.
She was excited to see a real shark for the first time in her life. Grabbing Michael, she said, “Hubby,
quick, look over there. There are sharks!”
Michael looked over and was able to spot the sharks swimming in the water. “There really are a lot of
sharks here.”
It was hard for her to suppress her excitement when she was seeing sharks for the first time. She kept
looking into the telescope, but the sharks remained a distance away from them.
All of a sudden, Sam said, “I brought some pork to feed the sharks. They wille if we throw some
meat in.”
“Sure!”
Sophia was jumping with joy. She watched Sam’s men open one suitcase filled with cut-up meat and saw
the water turn red when they threw it into the water. The sharks smelled the blood and started to swim
closer to them. Michael had them stop the boat so that Sophia could look at the sharks.
Sam threw quite a bit of meat in to feed the sharks, giving Sophia more than enough sharks to look at.
Sophia was ecstatic to see sharks for the first time. When the sharks finished eating and swam away, the
boat also started to leave.
Both Sophia and Sarah were looking at the sharks intently while Michael and Harry were staring at Sam
who was feeding the sharks.
Perhaps he had been to the market often and was experienced with the smell of blood, but Michael kept
having this feeling that it was not pork.
Harry had a frown on his forehead as it was also obvious to him.
Although he did not see it clearly, he also had a feeling that it was not pork. It did not smell right.
However, Michael did not dare to think about the kind of meat it actually was.
After he dropped Sam off at the nearest dock, the rest of them made their way back to Bayside City.
Less than two days after their return, Sophia had to return to the hectic workforce. On the third day after
returning, she left for work on time and even brought some gifts for the people at the office.
At lunchtime, the four founding members of thepany ate lunch with Sophia in her office. She was
lucky because she was sent food at lunch every day. They all enjoyed joining her for lunch.
They gossiped while they ate.
Sarah had heard more gossip today and was sharing it with everyone else.
“After the Edwards’ annual meeting ended, one family left the ind on a boat. When the boat reached
deeper waters, they apparently encountered a whirlpool or something. The boat sank and everyone on
board died!”
They felt sympathy for the family when they heard the story.
Once they were done talking about other people, Sarah winked and began talking about her own story. It
was a shocking revtion.
“My stepmother ran off with her lover!”
When they heard the news, everyone stopped eating and urged Sarah for more details.
