Chapter 847


    The events unfolded one after the other ording to n. Just when the case with Faye’s tax evasion


    was finally beginning to subside and the public was on the verge of turning their attention to something


    else, Pourl made a move to sue Faye for scamming. In effect, they were using the whole ordeal with


    Faye as an opportunity to market their brand.


    Since Faye admitted that she didn’t earn as much as fifty million per month, the fact that she requested a


    compensation of fifty million from Pourl would be a scam. The list forpensation was done by Faye’s


    team, which listed out in ck and white each of the items that were beingpensated for.


    Compensation for medical bills and mental anguish didn’t even amount to a million, while the rest were


    allpensation for loss of ie. Faye had no way of denying any of the ims, as it was listed out


    on paper.


    Thewsuit caught Faye unawares. It wasn’t until then that she realized she had fallen into a trap. Right


    after the people from the tax bureau were done with her, the police woulde knocking on her door as


    well. It was all a meticulously nned trap for Faye that was set into motion ever since she requested a


    fifty millionpensation. All Sophia had to do was wait for Faye to fall deeper into the trap.


    Pourl set up a social media page just for that single event, on which their first post was the police report


    they filed against Faye. Of course, she came to know of it quickly. Pourl made sure to keep a high profile;


    they went as far as to make it live on the web, as if reminding Faye to brace herself. Meanwhile, the


    police would soon be knocking on Faye’s door, so she quickly gave Vincent and Sandra a call, as it was


    Sandra’s idea to make the outrageous request forpensation.


    The incident quickly rmed the Edwards and the Mitchells, as they ced a lot of importance on


    Faye and Vincent’s marriage. As soon as the two main families came into union through marital ties, it


    meant both families would effectively be considered as one. However, it also meant that Cooper would


    unscrupulously work against that union, as a union between Alex Mitchell and the Edwards would put


    him at a disadvantage. In short, Scarlett would be targeting both Faye and Sandra as both were the


    key to the union of both families, which was precisely why neither family would sit out of it.


    Soon, news broke that the Mitchells and the Edwards spent an astronomical amount to hire ten or so


    lawyers from both local and abroad to form a team that would work on Faye’s case. The intensewsuit


    went on for two months, and by the end of it, Faye was determined as innocent. Both the Mitchells and


    the Edwards spent a lot of money on the case; just the attorney fees alone amounted to an impressive


    sum. Besides, they wouldn’t have been able to pull through this if it weren’t for their connections.


    After the case was closed, Faye gave Sophia a call to gloat. “Scarlett, you should know that both the


    Mitchells and the Edwards agreed to teach you a lesson. Extras like your father and you should never


    have returned! Neither the Edwards nor the Mitchells will let you off the hook that easily, nor will you have


    any chance at winning this feud! Scram back to where you came from!”


    However, Sophia mocked, “Thank you for endorsing our products for free. We owe you one for Pourl’s


    booming business.”

    When Faye heard that, she was so furious that she hung up. Meanwhile, Sophia was expanding her


    business, whereas the marketing team that Cooper rmended seized the opportunity to market the


    company’s products when news regarding Faye’s case was the trending topic. Theirbined efforts


    helped to boost Pourl’s reputation greatly.


    On the other hand, Ivan and his team managed toe up with brilliant designs that swept multiple


    international awards, which helped to consolidate his status within the industry. In short, Pourl was


    thriving.


    It was within Sophia’s expectations that both the Edwards and the Mitchells would do their best to protect


    Faye at all cost. After all, Sophia was Cooper’s daughter, while Faye was the daughter-inw of the


    Mitchells, so anything she did to Faye was bound to be perceived as a slight to the Mitchells. Therefore,


    it was no longer just a matter between Sophia and Faye, but also a feud between both Cooper and Alex.


    However, she didn’t ask for help from Cooper regarding the matter, as thetter was busy expanding his


    local business while soliciting the support of other Mitchells. In fact, Sophia preferred to focus on being


    Cooper’s witty sidekick while working on expanding her own business rted to pet products. She liked


    her career pertaining to pet luxury goods, and would soon be expanding into more areas regarding pets


    by theing year.


    Pourl’s office and design studio was moved to the second floor of its gship store. The building was a


    gift from Sam, but Sophia only held onto a single floor to be used by Pourl, while the rest were rented


    out. The offices and shoplots in the building were mostly bought off by Cooper, with the branch family


    being based upstairs, while the local HQ of Michel Group had just moved into the building next to them.


    After all, Cooper wanted nothing more than to keep watch on his precious daughter 24/7 every day of the


    week.


    On this day, Michale brought Judge with him to Sophia’s shop. As soon as Judge saw Sophia, it began


    barking. After leaving The Imperial, Judge was sent back to Stanley’s ce. Thetter just bought a


    mansion beside the sea, with Sean settling down in another mansion next to his, so they could take over


    looking after Judge.


    Judge became the only doggo in the house, but despite the fact that everybody doted on it, Judge was


    still feeling dissatisfied. It missed Sophia and Michael since it had grown attached to them and the ce


    that it spent a few years living in. Not only was the orange cat not with it in the new ce, neither was


    Sophia the loli there; both of them were being perceived by Judge as its subjects. Nowadays, the lion


    had stepped in to seize everyone and everything away from Judge, which made it unhappy, to say the


    least.


    Woof! Judge was barking non-stop. Caressing its head, Sophia asked Michael, “Why is Judge barking so


    much?”


    Michael replied, “Perhaps it’s because Judge wants toe back to The Imperial since it’s now living


    alone by the sea. Stanley spends a lot of time away from home, so Judge might be feeling a little lonely.”


    “But Judge doesn’t want to y with Barney,” Sophia said with a frown.


    Judge was still barking when Ivan opened the door to the design studio. Right now, Barney was having


    its measurements taken inside as Sophia wanted to make Barney an outfit. Upon seeing Barney, Judge


    quickly cowered behind Michael with its ears ttened. On the other hand, Ivan was slightly nervous


    upon receiving such arge animal in his studio for the first time, but he quickly got used to it.


    Ever since business expanded, Pourl had been taking on other more exotic pets aside from the normal


    ones, including golden pythons, groundhogs, kos, alpacas, kangaroos, monkeys, squirrels, ostriches


    and even giant earthworms. They also had a century-old tortoise waiting outside, as its owner was


    nning on giving it a golden tattoo on its shell.


    In the meantime, Sophia was going through the datas of recent clients to get a grasp on thetest


    trending pets among the upper ss society in Bayside City. However, Michael was watching in


    trepidation as he didn’t want her getting any weird ideas on buying any other exotic pets, as in most


    cases, he would end up being the one taking care of them. Therefore, he quickly redirected her attention.


    “You used to like dogs when you were younger, and you had a dog that you kept for ten years!”


    He seeded in capturing Sophia’s attention. “Oh, is that so? What was the dog’s name?”


    Michael recalled Sophia having told him about a dog she kept when she was living with her grandmother.


    With how smart it was, it helped to find aluminium cans in bins whenever Sophia went scavenging for


    trash. Michael went on for a while with the story. “You kept the dog with you for many years until it


    passed away of old age.”


    However, the truth was that after Sophia’s grandmother had passed away, she moved into her uncle’s


    ce with the dog. When her cousin bullied her, the dog bit him so hard that it tore off a chunk of his


    flesh. After that, the dog was beaten to death before being used to boil soup that ended up as


    nourishment for her cousin.
