Chapter 1159


    “What?! The alpacas were stolen?! When did this happen?! Why wasn’t I informed about this?!” Sophia


    became distraught when she heard that her alpacas had been stolen.


    Hale replied, “It happened on the day we went to see Russell Simmons. Maria called in a panic to inform


    us that the alpacas had been stolen. The alpacas were at the shop for their photoshoot, shooting


    promotional photos of the new products. However, they were stolen in broad daylight as soon as they


    stepped out of the shop.”


    Michael hurriedly asked in a worried tone, “What about Pleiades? Wasn’t Pleiades with the alpacas that


    day?”


    Pleiades was the rooster Carmen was raising. Since they were raising it at home, they couldn’t just keep


    calling it ‘the rooster’. Therefore, Cooper named it ‘Pleiades’. The name ‘Pleiades’ came from one of the


    constetions in the 28 Mansions, which were part of the Cethosian constetion system. Depicted as a


    rooster, the constetion was famous for pecking a centipede to death in Aesop’s Fables.


    Pleiades had made its debut among the pet owners’ social circles in Bayside City on Twitter. Sophia


    even made a series of outfits for it. She also highly rmended raising a rooster in the pet luxury


    goods magazine she created. As a result, there was a sudden chicken-raising boom in Bayside City,


    and the price of roosters soared because of her.


    If I remember correctly, the rooster joined the alpacas for themercial photo shoot. The Gods must


    have heard my prayers, Michael thought to himself.


    Hale nced at Michael. Despite the worried look on Michael’s face, the slight upward curve of his eyes


    told Hale that he was very excited. Thus, Hale regretfully reported, “Due to Pleiades’ strong survival


    instincts, it put up a fierce struggle, broke free of its diapers, and flew up to the roof to escape. It has


    returned home and seems to have calmed down. It’s doing rtively well.”


    Michael was extremely disappointed when he heard those words. Useless! The Yard Family is so


    useless! They can’t even steal a chicken! Good-for-nothings! Trash!


    On the other hand, Sophia was livid. “The Yard Family! Why is it the Yard Family again?!”

    She had been busy over the past few days—so much so that she didn’t pay attention to the Yard Family.


    Now that she was less busy, she immediately video-called Callum. Callum was working in his office.


    However, he answered her call despite his hectic schedule. Sure enough; the video showed a pair of


    alpacas in the background. No, there was a baby alpaca too—the pair of alpacas had given birth to a


    cria. I can’t believe the Yard Family went so far as to steal the cria too!


    The three alpacas seemed to be doing quite well. They had their own nest in his office, wore gold-


    colored bow ties, and even had servants giving them massages. Their fur was shiny and smooth—they


    looked much more refined than before!


    “How could you… You couldn’t even spare a child! You beast!” She was so furious that she jumped to


    her feet.


    He patted the baby alpaca on the head and proudly said, “A family should stay together.” Sticking his


    little finger up as he patted the alpaca, he said, “By the way, I heard you won Russell Simmons over to


    your side. That’s amazing! Russell isn’t bad; he’s very capable. I tried to acquire his brand many times in


    the past, but my attempts never seeded. I can’t believe he agreed to work with you so readily!”


    She sneered, “The Yard Family murdered his entire family, yet you expect them to work with you? How


    ridiculous!”


    Acting as if he did not hear her cursing at him, he took out a gold baby bottle, picked the baby alpaca up,


    and carefully fed it with the bottle. At the same time, he pretended to be sad. “My two younger brothers


    are trying to surpass us. For that reason, they’ve always wanted to bring Russell over to their side. This


    time, Russell not only snubbed them, but he also joined hands with you. With my two younger brothers’


    temperament, they will go to the extremes to get their revenge. You need to be careful.”


    Her expression darkened. As expected, Callum is here to fan the mes. He is afraid that things will get


    swept under the rug without much fuss. “Don’t worry. If they dare to harm me, then I will retaliate in kind.”


    After he finished feeding the baby alpaca, he skillfully patted it so that it burped. Then, he pretended to


    be worried about her as he said, “They won’t do anything in Cethos. The risks are too great since you


    are a Cethosian. They will probably strike before you return to Cethos.”


    She said, “I’m hanging up.”


    In response, he hastily said, “Wait! I have another important thing to tell you!”


    She coldly replied, “If you have something to say, say it quickly.”


    Callum smiled slightly. “I stole your three huskies too!”


    Sophia did not answer. Not long after that, Maria called. As expected, the dogs had been kidnapped.


    Cereberus had been stolen!


    It had been snowing in Bayside City recently. Therefore, Stanley took the three huskies out to enjoy the


    snow. While walking the three dogs, he walked in front while the three dogs followed behind him. The


    leashes were stretched tightly when they suddenly loosened without warning. By the time he looked


    back, only the leashes were left—the dogs were gone. Then, he burst into tears with a loud wail at the


    sight…


    Sophia decided that she was going to kill the two Yard Family members. Since ancient times, many


    factions fought against each other in the royal family. Since Callum is forcing my hand, he can’t me


    me for this! I can’t believe we have the same blood running through our veins. If I don’t kill those two


    younger brothers, I won’t be able to live down the shame!


    When Michael heard that the huskies had been stolen, he was so pleased that he nearly jumped for


    joy. Hurray for the Yard Family! They finally did something right! Don’t give up! Next time, steal the


    chicken too!


    Soon, the family prepared to return home. On the way to the airport, several ck cars silently


    approached their car. Sure enough, the Yard Family wasn’t going to let them leave so easily. The Yard


    Family’s movements were restricted in Cethos, but this wasn’t Cethos and the journey to the airport was


    the best time to strike.


    Inside the car, Cooper took out a pair of noise-canceling headphones and put them on for Carmen. Then,


    he lovingly said, “Carmen, can you sing a song for me, please?”


    Carmen was not in a good mood today. Before she left the country, she had decided to marry Cash, the


    husky. However, Sophia told her yesterday that Judge had fallen in love with a female husky and eloped


    along with its two sons. They were noting back anymore. Hence, her mood was heavy, and the


    songs she sang were not as lively as they were before.


    She sang, “He must love you very much; more than he loves me.” Next, she sang, “Memories of us bring


    tears to my eyes; it’s too lonely to be alone.” Lastly, she sang, “Breakups should be graceful; no need for


    apologies.”


    Cooper was rendered speechless by the songs she sang.


    While Carmen was singing those songs, several missiles flew by from out of nowhere. The ck cars


    that were following them were hit by the missiles and went up in mes… The Yard Family forgot that


    this was Africa and the highway to the airport belonged to the Michel Group.


    …


    On the other side, Sandra was anxiously waiting for news while feeling excited and guilty at the same


    time. This time, it was somebody Billy hired. He guaranteed that nothing could go wrong—Sophia and


    her family would never return alive. Unfortunately, they had not received word about the oue even


    though it was already midnight.


    Thus, Sandra was so anxious that she couldn’t sleep. She had a feeling that things weren’t as simple as


    they thought. The men they sent out had not reported back to them, and she did not know if their attempt


    had seeded. Unable to sleep, she walked out of the house. Her trip overseas was for work, and she


    had been going all over the ce during this period. As she was going to be in Ronney City for the next


    few days, she stayed at an exquisite vi in the suburbs outside Ronney City with Billy. However, she


    was feeling nervous for some reason. Walking around the streets in the middle of the night, she saw a


    ball of fire falling from the sky andnding on the house she was temporarily staying in.


    Boom. The entire room burst into mes. Billy, who had been sleeping on the second floor, jumped out of


    the second-floor window. His entire body was covered in mes as he rolled on the ground, screaming in


    pain. Meanwhile, Sandra was utterly dumbstruck by the sight…
