Chapter 848
Of course, Michael would never tell her about the gruelling parts, as it would be better to allow her to
assume that her dog simply died of old age. The dog was her only friend who got killed for protecting her,
and was made into soup after that. After that, its bones were retrieved by Sophia from the bin before
being put together and buried in a tiny grave she dug for it. The trauma scarred her for life, but
fortunately, she had forgotten all about it.
After listening to the story, Sophia heaved a sigh. “They’re just our furry babies…” Pets’ lives were so
short, while humans had lifespans that were so much longer than theirs, so it could be considered fate
for one to be able to encounter his or her own ‘furry baby’. Thus, it was all the more reason why Sophia
decided to offer the best she could to the pets she encountered.
Caressing Judge’s head, she could smell the fragrance of shampoo as well as feel the smoothness of its
fur from its recent shower. Judge was around five to six years old by that point, so since huskies had an
average lifespan of under twenty years, she didn’t have much time left with Judge.
Michael changed the topic after that. “My movie will be released the week after this, but there will be a
premiere before that. Would you like to join us?” Being an actor had its merits seeing that he had at least
gotten a superb reason to ask a girl out.
However, Sophia turned down his offer after some thought. “I think I’ll wait for the release, as I prefer to
watch it on a big screen in the cinema. It would be great if the seats are all filled up. I like it when the
audience cheers for a good movie.”
Taken aback, Michael hung his head low while being on the brink of tears upon realizing that his chica
was the same as before, and she hadn’t changed at all. Michael hung around until afternoon when
Stanley, Sean and Maddie came over for an exclusive interview about Judge.
As the main character behind the incident with Faye, Judge was the reason why Pourl lost fifty million, as
well as the reason why Faye had to facewsuits against her for tax evasion and scamming. Therefore,
fans of Faye tracked Judge down through theirbined efforts, going as far as to crowdfund to have
Teddy rape Judge. It was under such circumstances that Judge rose to fame, eventually bing one
of the most well-known dogs with the highest worth in the world.
However, though Judge’s action of biting Faye caused Pourl to lose fifty million, the level of fame they
gained due to it far outweighed their financial loss; even spending fifty million on celebrity endorsements
might not necessarily guarantee a simr oue. Thus, Maddie figured she could do an interview
about Judge to add to Pourl’s fame.
As soon as the interview began, Judge barked nonstop as if announcing that it never bit anyone to begin
with. Despite having chewed on sofas, chairs, beds, toilet lids and TVs, Judge didn’t seem to recall ever
biting anyone. It almost sounded like Judge was denouncing Faye’s ims for having been bitten, while
Sophia was simply strung along.
Maddie asked a few more questions regarding Judges’ daily life, to which Stanley replied in detail,
allowing the interview to go on smoothly. However, when Maddie was about to leave when they were
done with it, Sophia’s bodyguard reported to them, “Miss Irene Weber is downstairs.”
Not only was her presence unexpected, but none of them knew if she was after Maddie or Michael. Even
Maddie was disgruntled about her arrival, as Irene had been constantly dropping by to harass both Joel
and her. Whenever Joel was away from home for military duties, Irene would harass Maddie by hurling
insults at her in front of her house. The fact that Irene would evene to Sophia’s shop was
unexpected. “I’ll go chase her away!” Maddie volunteered.
On the other hand, Joel knew Maddie was often being harassed by Irene, but he also acknowledged the
fact that she didn’t like to have a bodyguard following her around. Thus, he adopted two retired army
dogs that she could bring along with her to work, which were with her at the moment. However, Sophia
held her back. “That won’t be necessary. I can handle her.”
In the meantime, Irene was waiting downstairs, knowing that Michael was upstairs, orbiting around that
wench, Scarlett as usual. She decided she would make everybody’s life difficult, because she could
easily get away—even from Mark Fletcher—due to her parents’ status as fallen heroes.
Soon, Sophia showed up wearing a pair of sunsses and having a lion beside her. Upon noticing
Irene’s presence, she walked toward Irene with the lion in tow, which shocked Irene so much that she
ran away shuddering. It wasn’t until then that she led Barney onto the car to head back home with
Michael tagging along.

Not even Michael could do anything about Irene. “She is the daughter of fallen heroes. Both her parents
sacrificed themselves for the country, so she was left orphaned when she was a child. Although the
Fletchers adopted her…”
The Fletchers treated Irene as one of their own, providing her with all the necessary resources to
be the best singer in the military. However, her low self-esteem caused her to fixate on the dream of
bing a true Fletcher by being listed on their family tree. If she could be more firm in her stance back
then, she would’ve already married Michael and their children would’ve been in high school by now. Yet,
she chose Joel instead of Michael, only to be shunned by Joel with the only reason of him having no
feelings for her.
It was tricky for Michael to deal with Irene, as he couldn’t just cast her aside like how Joel did, and that
was precisely why Irene was able to do as she pleased. Michael’s rtionship with Sophia hadn’t seen
much progress, so he didn’t want Irene’s presence to affect their rtionship. Meanwhile, Sophia knew
full well who Irene was, but she issued a harsh warning nheless. “While you did owe her something,
I don’t, so I will treat her the same way I did Faye if she ever crosses me.”
At the mention of Faye, Sophia was reminded that the movie Faye was starring in was still being
promoted, and it would be released on the same day as Michael’s. Also, Faye’s wedding with Vincent
would happen within a few days on a private ind that the Mitchells owned. Sure enough, it was
Faye and Vincent’s wedding was the hottest topic of the season, with the media either portraying them
as a fairytale couple, or focusing on the fact that the Mitchells had settled Faye’s two court cases, which
indicated just how important Faye was to Vincent. All in all, the wedding received a lot of attention from
the public.
On the other hand, though Alex sent Cooper an invitation, thetter turned it down as he wasn’t
interested. As a major event for both the Edwards and the Mitchells, the wedding was in fact a stage to
show off their financial prowess and familial status to their opponents. However, it would be pointless if
their opponents weren’t even there to witness their achievements.
Upon arriving home, Sophia got a call from Faye. “Scarlett, you must attend Vincent and my wedding
that will happen in three days! He told me you’re a member of our family, so you have to attend such an
important event! Our wedding would be iplete without your presence!”
Sophia could hear the pride in Faye’s cute voice over the phone when thetter began describing her
supposed wedding. “My wedding will be held on a private ind that Vincent and I own! The ceremony
willst three days, with invitations being sent to upper ss people such as government officials and
people of noble statuses. By right, people like you would never even get to set foot on it, but since you’re
a Mitchell, we will make an exception for you!”
