Chapter 1149


    Sophia replied, “The Michel Group’s business in Cethos is already saturated and my brother isn’t going


    to expand it any further. This slows down the strike against the Mitchell Family. Since the country only


    wants to keep apany in the high-tech electronics industry topete with the Michel Group, it


    doesn’t necessarily have to be the Mitchells. As long as it canpete with the Michels, anyone will do,


    like… Plum Technology.”


    Lucy nodded in response.


    Plum Technology started thepany developing online games, so it had long since begun to involve


    itself in the high-tech electronics industry. It had also released a series of gamingputers and office


    computers, and owned a number of independent high-tech intellectual property rights. The market


    response toward their electronic products was good. The Mitchell Family had a lot of shares in the


    company, and that was why those talented in this field, who had left Alex’spany to join Cooper’s,


    were arranged to work in Plum Technology.


    The Mitchells, including Sean, Vincent, and Derek, were all working for Plum Technology. Thepany


    even paid a lot of staff from Alex’spany to work for them, threatening Alex’s status one step at a


    time.


    If the Mitchell Family was taken down, Plum Technology would act as a backup to support the high-


    tech electronic industry of Bayside City. By then, the existence of the Mitchells would be greatly


    threatened.


    But, it really didn’t matter whether the Mitchell Family was taken down or not because the country was


    very much looking forward to Plum Technology taking over as the top local brand. This was the best


    opportunity for Plum Technology to take over the national market.


    “You’ve made a good move. What about Sandra? How are you going to deal with her? After all, she’s the


    pride of Cethos; she created many world records in the past. No one has been able to break her records


    up till today,” said Lucy with concern.


    Sophia had already thought about this problem.


    “It’s true that Sandra is difficult to handle. I’ve tried a few times before, but the ns did not go well.


    She’s too famous in Cethos and has long be the face of the country. Even the relevant department


    doesn’t want her to be overthrown. So, we have to give the matter some more thought and discuss it


    later. If we fail this time, we might screw up the n. But, I was the one who put her up to the ce she’s


    sitting now, so I can also take her down.”


    Sophia knew a lot about Sandra’s dark history.


    However, the point was that Sandra had many achievements and had a good reputation. The records


    she set when she participated in the Universal Games as a swimmer had never been broken. She was


    the pride of Cethos. Although she was quite foolish, to take her down would be disgracing the face of


    Cethos, and the country would not allow them to do so.


    No one should wash their dirty linen in public.


    And that was why Lucy settled the issue with the dual contract without making a fuss.


    She was not the only one who had lent a hand in settling the matter. It was naturally because someone


    else had given her the green light to do so in order to protect Sandra’s, the pride of Cethos, reputation.


    Sophia retired from the discussion after it ended early in the morning. When she was out at the entrance


    of the pub, she was feeling tipsy. But, somehow, she saw a car parking in front of the entrance, and a


    familiar form was standing by the car smoking.


    With a staggered pace, she walked toward the car.


    When she came near the figure, she noticed that the person had a slender figure and they were wearing


    casual men’s clothes. The person had one of their hands in their pocket while the other was lighting a


    cigarette. The sky was still dark, but the person still wore sunsses. Even so, the drunken Sophia could


    still recognize the person. “What the hell… Aren’t you the one from the Winston Family… Dana Winston?


    What are you doing here?”


    Sophia was a little drunk and she couldn’t speak eloquently.


    Stepping onto the cigarette, Dana threw Sophia a nce and said harshly, “What are you looking at?


    Have you never seen people pick up bodies in front of the pub?”


    To pick up bodies in front of the pub was an argot that meant taking advantage of drunk girls who were


    leaving the pub.


    “Ugh! How disgusting!”


    Sophia was drunk to the point that she was flushing. Gemma helped her into the car and sent her back


    home.


    Back at home, because Sophia had been out all night, Michael was sleepless the whole night. He was


    watching ‘My Fair Princess’ in the living room.


    Cooper and Linus couldn’t fall asleep either.


    Even Carmen, who had just lost her pig and buffalo, was restless. Sitting by the side, she was braiding


    the dog’s fur to relieve her boredom.


    Feeling bored, Michael held Carmen high up in the air. As he looked at her, he said, “Tell me, Carmen.


    Your dad, your mother, and your grandpa are twins. Howe there is only one of you?”


    When Michael found out that there was only one child back when Sophia took her first ultrasound scan,


    he was disappointed for a few days.


    Even now, he still couldn’t figure out why there was only one.


    Pouting her lips, Carmen was annoyed. Due to the earlier trip she took to the northeast for the shoot of


    ‘Where Are We Going, Dad?’, she had picked up a mouthful of northeastern ent. “I’m your one and


    only precious little daughter. How can you despise me?”


    Immediately, Michael denied, “I wouldn’t dare.”


    Carrying Carmen upstairs, Michael put her to sleep. When he came down, Sophia had alreadye


    home. Her face was painted red from the alcohol and she was eating the noodles she had told the


    kitchen to prepare for her when she came homeining that she was hungry.


    Cooper and Linus were sitting on both sides, watching as she consumed the food.


    They looked like they were intoxicated with satisfaction—as if watching Sophia eating noodles was way


    more interesting than watching a panda eating bamboo.


    One was a siscon.


    Another one was a daughter addict.


    Disgusting! Psycho!

    Joining them, Michael took a seat by the dining table and watched Sophia as she ate the noodles.


    How pretty! Why does she look so good even when she’s eating noodles?


    Oh! How I wish I was the noodles she’s eating right now.


    Subconsciously, he also started looking at her with a mesmerizing gaze.


    Seeing that Sophia had finished her meal, Linus handed her a cup of water and said gently, “Eat slowly.


    There’s more if this isn’t enough.”


    Michael was annoyed looking at Linus’ behavior.


    Linus’ business in Cethos was saturated. If he were to continue with the developments, the relevant


    department would start checking his fire control, taxes, and business license every now and then. Thus,


    Linus decided to stop expanding his business in the Cethos market. He should have returned to Africa as


    nned, but he had been hanging around in Bayside City and was unwilling to leave. Looking at the


    situation now, it seemed like he was ready to settle down here.


    Not only did he not want to leave, but he was even residing in Vi No. 2. As long as it was Sophia’s


    mealtime, he would make sure toe over and visit her, and even have his meal with her.


    Is he afraid of me treating Sophia poorly and not giving her a full meal?


    Why is heing over to watch her at every meal?


    Michael had never seen such an arrogant brother-inw before!


    Cleaning her mouth, Sophia started reporting the results of her talk with Lucy excitedly.


    After the talk, everyone fell into their own thoughts.


    They really needed time to take down Sandra, the sports hero of Cethos…


    However, they would not know if they could take her down until they actually tried.


    The following day, Sophia went out and brought someone back.


    The moment Cooper, who was feeding his rooster in the living room, saw the person she had brought


    home, something cold shed before his eyes.


    “Isn’t this Master Levine?”


    Thest time they met, Daniel was trying hard to fool Cooper to take Michael as his son-inw. Even


    though Cooper was smart, it took him a while to realize that he had been fooled.


    When Daniel saw Cooper, he smiled. Sophia was very excited as she said, “Dad, I’m going to ask Master


    Levine to change the Feng Shui of the Ronney Group! I’m not only going to strike them economically but


    also metaphysically! I’m turning the headquarters of the Ronney Group in Cethos into stigmatized


    property!”
