Chapter 873


    Naturally he referred to that matter. It was a darkness hidden in Sophia’s heart and a ce which nobody


    could reach. No amount of sunlight and warmth could ever reach that ce. Hence, whenever


    somebody mentioned the darkness in her, her whole world would sink into that darkness without being


    able to free herself.


    She forgot about who she was, but the moment she epted her identity as Sophia Edwards, people


    recalled her past.


    No matter how much protection Sophia had, as long as she had to face the reality, she would learn about


    her past from somebody else. Yesterday, for instance, Sandra mentioned about the past while using


    certain words to insult and humiliate her.


    He thought, All those years ago, it took her a lot of courage and vigor to leave the past behind her. She


    moved forward in determination while gritting her teeth together. My chica has to suffer through that pain,


    which she has experienced before, once again. Is there anything else that is more hopeless than this


    situation?


    Therefore, it was unexpected when Sophia smiled nonchntly. “Are you referring to the fact that I was


    molested as a child?”


    Michael’s heart skipped a beat and his chest reflexively tightened while his gaze reflected the pain he


    felt. She knows about it after all. Since she’s back, it’s impossible to escape the past.


    However, Sophia did not seem to be bothered by it; instead, she sighed while batting her long eyshes.


    Under the streemps, her eyshes looked like a pair of butterflies. “When I regained consciousness in


    Africa, Quinton told me that there’s nothing to feel humiliated about in this world as long as one has a


    clear conscience,” she answered.


    I have forgotten all about my childhood, so I’ve lost both sweet and painful memories. There can’t be any


    pain since there’s no happiness to begin with. I’ve heard about my helpless and dark past from


    somebody else long ago. In fact, I’ve read through the book that I wrote.


    My childhood life was extremely painful, so I wanted to change my fate. I worked hard by studying


    because I wanted to change my fate by doing so. I met X and Richard, who almost destroyed my


    education, so I did all that I could to take revenge. My methods were as cruel as the darkness I went


    through during my childhood.


    Sophia chuckled while tucking loose strands of hair behind her ear. “As a matter of fact, I have to thank


    those people who made my life hell because they trained my will and grit. Despite losing my memories,


    these characteristics are still within me, but I’ve forgotten all about the pain and unhappiness. Come to


    think of it, I suppose it’s a gift from God,” she stated.


    Michael stared at Sophia’s side profile in a daze and the pain in his heart was reflected in the tears that


    started to swim in his eyes.


    Quinton made her lose her memories and it wasn’t an easy feat to do so. On an international level, there


    were already psychiatrists advocating amnesia as a treatment for mental illness. However, it was a tricky


    matter to seed in it.


    Amnesia is most probably not a bad thing for her.


    The two of them looked up at the crescent moon in the sky.


    “I think the weather will be great tomorrow. I have met up with Daniel to check the dates and he


    mentioned that the day after tomorrow is suited for me to join the team. Tomorrow, on the other hand, is


    perfect for traveling. Will you send me off?”


    “It depends on the situation.”


    …


    The next day, Carmen did not go to school because she released the dog and it bit someone. Besides


    that, she even illegally opened a dog petting spot in the kindergarten and gathered a group of personnel


    to carry out unlicensed activities. As her illegal dog petting spot had been banned, it meant that the


    location for dogs had also been blocked, so the dogs had all been sent home. Therefore, she had to stop


    her business and she was not in the mood for the past few days to return to school. Upon learning that


    Michael was leaving soon, she was adamant on sending him off.


    Michael would be gone for a few months with the filming crew and it revolved around ‘The Winter


    Breakthrough’ that was poprized by Woody and Mark a long time ago.


    There were three main characters—namely Woody, Mark, and a fierce, cruel Japanese general.


    Michael was the producer and main actor of the film, so he had full control over the entire film. After the


    script had been fixed and with a thorough discussion, he confirmed that he would y the character,


    Mark Fletcher, for the second time whereas Harry would y the role of the fierce, cruel General Fuso.


    Michael initially fought hard to y Woody, but Cooper would not budge.


    When Michael visited Cooper’s newpany, he noticed that the head of the security team was


    extremely handsome. Furthermore, he was only 20 years old with a height of six feet three. Michael was


    worried that such a handsome young man would loiter around Sophia, so he poached the man as an


    actor for the film.


    After the Mitchell Family broke up, the man had been frequently visiting Woody with Sean. Hence, he


    had met Woody before and he knew about thetter’s past—it also meant that it was easier for him to


    understand the character. In addition to that, the man was a talented actor and took on the role of the


    first male lead immediately after some training.


    Cooper felt better since a member of the Mitchell Family was ying the role of Woody.


    Sophia had brought Carmen along to send Michael off in the airport. The airport was a private facility


    established by him, so it was not particrlyrge because it only housed his personal aircraft.


    Tomorrow was the day the main characters joined the filming crew, so he conveniently dragged the head


    of security from the Mitchells along.


    His name was Drake Mitchell. Michael thought that he had exceptional looks, temperament and


    mannerisms, so he christened him with a stage name—Draco. Nevertheless, Michael was not sure if the


    man could live up to the meaning of his stage name.


    Michael had brought along a simple luggage while making his way to the airne while Sophia followed


    from behind as she held Carmen’s hand.


    “Dear, I’m counting on you to look after Carmen once I leave. The child is naughty, so I know it’ll be hard


    on you,” Michael mentioned solemnly as a father about to embark on a long journey because he was


    worried about his little princess.


    Sophia responded, “Why are you saying that? Carmen is my child too, so I’ll do my best to look after


    her.”


    Michael was about to leave for a few months, so he was bound to miss them…


    The ne was about to take off, so he squatted to speak with Carmen, “Baby, I’m leaving now. Give


    Daddy a kiss.”

    Carmen turned away swiftly. “No way.”


    Previously, she acted in ‘The National Treasury Action’ and it was a top-grossing box office, but she did


    not receive any payment for it. After that, he even confiscated the earnings of her dog sales, which


    amounted to a few hundred. For the filming of ‘The Winter Breakthrough’, she was even promised that


    she would have a role, but the promise was not fulfilled in the end. She was convinced that someone had


    pulled some strings to secure that role through unspoken rules.


    Besides, ‘Where Are We Going, Dad?’ was not being screened on the television too.


    Upon noting that Carmen was angry, Michael felt helpless. “Are you ming me? I am feeling hopeless


    too, but Grandpa was the one who pulled the strings. You should take it up with him. Please, give me a


    hug.”


    As soon as the cabin door opened, she ran up the stairs easily and swiftly without even a moment of


    hesitation.


    “Baby,e down. Daddy is leaving soon and you can’t be there.” Sophia chased after her in a hurry.


    Sophia caught up to Carmen in the ne and noticed that it was extremely spacious. Carmen had a


    custom-made small, pink seat where she ced her small husky bag down before fastening her seatbelt


    in her seat.


    When Michael approached Carmen to hold her, she immediately burst into tears. “I want to join the


    filming crew! I want to act on set! You are not allowed to chase me off the ne!”


    He immediately released her and patiently advised, “Please, be an obedient girl and head home with


    Mommy for now. Don’t you want to go back to kindergarten?


    She answered tearfully, “No, I don’t!”


    He felt helpless and surrendered by raising his arms in Sophia’s direction. “Since Carmen wants toe


    along, I guess I’ll bring her along to have a look… Dear, why don’t youe with me to have a look at


    the filming set? It’s our own ne after all and we can leave once we are all onboard. We don’t have to


    buy any tickets…”
