Chapter 708
Michael arrived home after finishing his work and saw that strange piece of news. The photographer had
chosen a good angle when taking the photo. The photo happened to capture the time when Corrado
rushed down the car and headed toward Irene. Irene was retreating in horror as Corrado rushed forward
fiercely. Meanwhile, Sophia was sitting in the car and watching the scene unfold coldly. How vicious!
Michael called Danny and instructed, “Don’t forget to delete the posts.”
Since the mysterious mastermind liked to spread rumors and create trouble, he would keep deleting all
the posts that appeared. However, news on the inte could not be curbed simply by deleting the posts.
It would continue to be posted even after being deleted. Moreover, they were not just deleting posts, they
were also deleting some of the ridiculous fan fiction. In those books, Sophia had been painted as the
world’s greatest viin.
Despite knowing about Irene’s fear of dogs, Sophia had deliberately set her dog on Irene! How could she
be so heartless?! Combined with the rumor of her pushing Irene down the stairs, she had been
completely viinized and turned into a cruel, heartless woman! Contrary to her expectations, she didn’t
manage to kill Irene. Rather, she identally made Irene regain the memories she lost. In the meantime,
Taylor finally saw her for who she was and dumped her. Truly, what goes aroundes around!
As the inte was going crazy over the news, Irene held a press conference to exin the recent
incidents. During the press conference, her head was still wrapped in bandages, and she looked
anemic and haggard. Facing the cameras and the reporters, she rified in a weak voice, “Back at the
hospital the other day, I fell down the stairs myself. It had nothing to do with Miss Sophia Edwards.”
She lowered her head and studied the draft in her hand, not daring to look into the camera. However, her
face was full of sorrow and disappointment, her eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was choked up.
It felt as if somebody was holding a gun to her head and forcing her to say those words. “As forst
night’s incident, it was an ident. I fell by myself. It had nothing to do with Miss Sophia Edwards either.
So, I hope everybody will leave her alone. I sincerely wish that Taylor and Miss Edwards will have a
happy and blissful life together.”
After saying that, she quickly left the scene under the escort of her manager. As she left, tears streamed
down her face. She had obediently held the press conference as Michael had instructed and rified the
truth. However, the press conference was useless. With her performance, everybody became certain
that Sophia was the evil one. Moreover, she even forced Irene to lie. What a vicious woman!
Afterward, Irene pitifully called Michael. Sobbing helplessly, she said, “Mikey, I think I messed things up.
I’m sorry. It’s all my fault…”
Listen to that tone; how innocent and hopeless. She wanted to help but messed things up instead.
Moreover, she stupidly tried to take all the me on herself too. Under these circumstances, I’d be an
a*s if I said anything harsh. Thus, Michael gently replied, “It’s okay. You did nothing wrong. You did your
best.”
Then, she burst into tears again. It felt like they went back 10 years into the past; she was an innocent
and na?ve girl and she cried until her words slurred together. “Mikey, I want to see you.”
Most men would not be able to refuse at a time like this. Her n was so thorough; she was the one who
had been pushed down the stairs and she even held a press conference just because Michael asked her
to. Although she messed up, it wasn’t her mistake. She simply wanted to help. Could Michael still be
considered human if he couldn’t even grant her such a humble request?
Michael felt slightly regretful. “I’m afraid I can’t. I’m at the airport. I’ll be leaving the country soon.”
Sure enough; he was at the airport. Hale was next to him, carrying the luggage. Sophia was eagerly
walking in front of him and Nathan seemed excited too as he walked beside Sophia with three dogs on
leashes. Then, the family of six—three humans and three dogs—boarded the private ne.
Irene asked pitifully, “When will you return?”
Michael replied, “After the New Year’s. I’m boarding the ne. Bye.” After hanging up, he threw his
phone to Hale and said, “If she calls again, tell her I’m busy.”
Hale nodded in response.
Bayside City was unnaturally cold this year and Sophia was sick of the cold. Besides, there were a lot of
worries in the city. Hence, Michael decided to bring his family to a warmer ce to celebrate New Year’s.
As for Irene… Haha… Irene grew up in the militarypound. Her parents lost their lives protecting their
comrades while on a special mission. For that reason, Michael didn’t want to go to the extremes. Right
now, we are testing each other’s limits. She is testing my limits. At the same time, I’m waiting to see just
how far she is willing to go. If she oversteps my boundaries, then she can’t me me for using cruel
means!
All of a sudden, a car screeched to a stop at the airport. Then, Stanley barreled out of the car carrying a
suitcase, and Sean was behind him.
“Uncle Michael! Uncle Michael, wait for me! Wait for me!” Stanley looked like a husky running with all its
might as he rushed up the ne.
Then, another car arrivedte. As soon as it came to a stop, Sarah and Harry came out of the car and
boarded the ne.
The ne took off quickly, bringing a group of people overseas for a vacation. It was very lively on the
ne. Michael had confiscated Sophia’s phone, so she brought many books to keep her upied during
her free time. At the moment, she was trying to put an outfit on Judge. However, it refused to be dressed,
preferring to run naked. Thus, Sophia and Judge were in a tug-of-war, and she wasughing away
happily…
Looking at her smiling face, Michael felt his spirits lifting. After she removed her stitches, she
recuperated at home for several days. Her diet was gradually returning to normal, and she was looking
forward to her vacation during the New Year’s. In the past, she had always celebrated it at home.
Therefore, it was her first time celebrating elsewhere, and it felt a little strange.
Soon, news of Taylor bringing his beloved wife on a vacation overseas via a private ne broke out.
When Irene saw the news, she trembled with anger. So, when he told me he was going overseas, he
was doing it to apany Sophia?! Does he still have feelings for me?! I’ve already done so much for
him. Can’t he see the ‘truth’?! Will he only believe me if I use Sophia of pushing me down the stairs
and almost killing me?!
After a moment, she forced herself to calm down. I know I still have a chance. I know he still has feelings
for me. After all, I was his first love! We grew up together! How could Sophia possibly rece all those
years we spent together! Currently, he doesn’t dare to rely on me. I guess I have to praise Sophia for her
tenacity. She is doing her best to keep him dancing in the palm of her hand. Hmph; even Old Master
Fletcher is hoping for Michael and me to get back together. Just who does Sophia think she is?! The only
thing she has over me is her age! She can’t even give birth to a child!
Mulling over it, Irene decided to try calling Michael again. However, the phone had been turned off. He
was probably still on the ne. Even so, she had no ns to give up. I need to get Michael back. I can’t
wait any longer. Nowadays, he was no longer who he used to be. He was an international celebrity.
Moreover, he had two Academy Awards. Since Celine has returned, and the burden is gone, it’s time for
me to return to Michael’s side. While pondering it, she walked into the militarypound to look for
Mark…
