Chapter 695


    Derek told Sophia about everything that had happened.


    After Sandra’s career took off, she was put in the Mitchell Family’s registry and became the youngdy in


    ce of Natasha. Her life changed in an instant.


    But a lot of people knew about her hidden identity. She was not Alex’s biological daughter who was


    kidnapped twenty years ago, but his illegitimate daughter. Sandra’s mother and Alex came to an


    agreement to hand her over to the Mitchells.


    Sandra’s biological mother received monies in exchange for cutting off all ties with her while the Mitchell


    Family found a new youngdy in their family. Everything was supposed to be perfect.


    It all went wrong when Derek’s uncle, Ben, was sent to the police station after being beaten up by


    Celine and forced to undergo rehabilitation for a period before he was released again. However, he


    started to idle around after that. When he heard about his sessful niece, he thought of ways to get


    money from her.


    To him, Sandra was like an ATM. He visited Sandra’s biological mother twice in three days for money. If


    she did not give him any, he would go and bother Sandra instead.


    The brother and sister pair were more or less cut from the same cloth. Both of them saw Sandra as an


    inexhaustible ATM. They often visited her to ask for money and threatened to expose her as a good-for-


    nothing to the media if she did notply.


    Since Sandra was being threatened, she could only hand the money over to them obediently each time.


    Thest few times they asked for money, it really exposed their greed. They lived a luxurious life and


    spent money like water. ording to Derek, thest time they visited Sandra to ask for money again was


    actually the final time. The next day, the police contacted Derek, who was still in school, and told him to


    identify some bodies. Both his mother and uncle were lying still in the mortuary after having died from a


    car crash.


    When they found out that Derek’s mother and uncle had passed away, Derek’s greedy rtives came


    over and tricked him into giving up his house and family fortune. Moreover, some rascals who were


    bullied by Ben got to know about Ben’s situation and came looking for Derek for trouble. They came and


    went constantly. Derek became afraid of going to school and of going home, so he ended up in the state


    that he was in now.


    “Didn’t you think to look for a job?” Sophia asked with disappointment in her voice as she looked at a


    miserable Derek.


    With an anguished look, he said, “What can I do? It’s not like you don’t know how immoral my uncle was.


    People who want to kill him are everywhere. Now that he’s dead, it’s so hard for me to find a job or even


    go back to school. I have two more uncles. They took my mom’s house away and chased me out of it.”


    When Sophia looked at him, she felt like she was looking at herself from many years ago. At the time,


    she had also felt dejected. However, Derek still had other family members. “Didn’t you go look for your


    sister and dad?”


    Speaking of his sister, Derek became even more sensitive. “I’m not going. She would rather see me


    dead!”


    Sandra was already secured as the youngdy of the Mitchell Family. Unless Alex had another son, her


    current position was unshakable.


    Letting Sandra stabilize like now was nothing more than a way for Alex to stall time. He still had to have


    a sessor that he could raise and nurture again. Some rumors imed that Alex was starting in-vitro


    fertilization treatments again. He was trying so hard to have another child. If he had another son, he


    would still receive the attention of an athletic star. It would not end too badly.


    The present Sandra was very appalled by her past. She feared that if people found out about her past


    and how she was willing to harm her biological uncle and mother, the car crash would not be seen as just


    an ident.


    Indeed, she was a spiteful woman.


    “Okay, you can make do with some odd jobs for now. I will be responsible for your food and


    amodation. I’ll find a way to get you a new student status too. You should start going to school


    when school starts next year.


    But, Derek’s misfortune served as a cautionary reminder for Sophia. She was the one that made Sandra


    Oak into Sandra Mitchell. She held the reins on Sandra now, but Sandra might grow independent and


    bite back at her one day.

    Stanley and Sean recently moved into a four-bedroom, two-sitting-room house that they bought. They


    were getting ready to bring the dogs over. Each of them stayed in one room, the dogs were in one room,


    and thest room was for Derek. He was able to move in right after Sophia paid the rent.


    Just as she finished settling Derek’s matters, an unexpected person showed up at thepany.


    “Master Sam? What are you doing here? Pleasee in!”


    Sam had also brought Corrado along with him.


    He wore an extremely simple outfit today—all ck with a fur coat and high boots. He looked younger,


    and despite being forty, his hair was full and ck. When he walked amidst balding young people, it


    made him seem a lot more handsome and dignified.


    “I came to take a look at yourpany. It’s not bad; it’s quite big.”


    As Sam looked around Sophia’spany, he saw a lot of people and a rather aggressive interior. It did


    not seem like there was a w anywhere.


    She was truly Cooper Mitchell’s daughter. It was hard toe by someone who could produce visible


    results while they were still studying.


    On the other hand, Sophia felt embarrassed and did not dare to act up in front of him. “It’s nothing much.


    I must seem like a joke to you.”


    Nheless, she still hurried to take Sam on a tour around herpany.


    Word that a handsome man was at thepany spread like wildfire and Stanley ended up bringing


    Sean out to see.


    “Look at that person over there! Where did hee from? Look at my aunt; she looks so happy.” Stanley


    caressed his own crew cut while he admired Sam’s thick ck hair as he spoke. He had lost a lot of hair


    from staying upte and ying games. Hence, he had gotten his current haircut.


    He was green with envy just by looking at Sam’s thick hair.


    Sean looked at that person and fell into deep thought for a moment. “He’s the 9th Old Master of the


    Edwards Family. He used to be in politics, but now he is in business. I’ve seen him on Aunt’s IG stories


    before.”


    A couple of days ago, Sophia posted a photo with Sam on her IG stories and Sean remembered it.


    After walking one round, Sophia brought Sam to meet Stanley and Sean. “These are the other two


    founders of ourpany. This is Stanley Fletcher, my husband’s nephew, and Judge’s owner.”


    “This is Sean Mitchell. We’re students at Bayside University.”


    Sam shook hands with Stanley and Sean. “Hello, I’m Sam Edwards.”


    Stanley was praising him silently. I’ve heard of this man before. They say that he’s in his forties now. I


    didn’t think he would look so young. He looks even younger than Michael!


    When the introductions were over, Sophia looked at Stanley and said, “Master Sam wants to invest some


    money in ourpany.”


    Wow, he truly is a big shot!


    His smile became even more sincere.


    Even though he was still wary on the inside.


    With confidence, Sam said, “Even though you’re a startup, you have good prospects. I see potential in


    you. Why don’t I invite all of you for dinner tonight at Crimson House?”


    Stanley was stunned. “It’s really hard to book a ce at Crimson House. I’m afraid we won’t be able to


    get a table at this hour. It’s also very expensive…”


    “No problem. I’m paying. I’ll be d to.”


    Sam hoped that Sophia would enter Crimson House, as Annabel’s things were there.
