Chapter 1195
Sandra quickly came up with another reason. “A woman’s job is to stay at home and take care of the kids
—you have no right to meddle with a man’s business!” Sophia gave her the side-eye in response to her
words. “Aren’t you a woman as well?” Sophia asked coldly.
To Sophia’s surprise, Sandra still had aeback for that. “I’m the Young Lady of the Mitchell Family.
Not only that, I’m also a world champion—of course I can’t bepared to you!”
Everyone burst intoughter upon hearing this. They clearly recalled how Sandra wasst year’s
ambassador for the Women and Children Association! She was also the ambassador of Cethos’ Women
Empowerment Association, which imed that ‘women held up half of the sky’. However, she drew a
clear distinction between males and females in the Mitchell Family and theirpany! In other words,
she was iming that all women were useless and helpless apart from her!
Alex began toe up with more reasons. “Go away! What do you know about anything, you
housewife? Even if you’re Cooper’s daughter, you’re no longer part of the Mitchell Family since you’ve
gotten married. You can get a man from your household to speak up; your words have no power here!”
he uttered.
Sophia then nced toward Alex. As expected, what she saw was an old, hideous man; he was an
elderly who did not have a woman by his side. Furthermore, there were barely any females in his
company; the percentage of female employees in Mitchell Group dropped steadily ever since Alex took
over. Under his orders, many of the talented and capable females had been forced out of thepany,
and he even drew up rules to restrict females from visiting the family grave to pay their respectster
on.
Ever since Alex brought up a ‘useless brat’ like Natasha, his assumptions were further confirmed that all
women were trash and only ruined things around them. In the past few years, Mitchell Group fired a
great number of females, especially those who held higher positions in thepany. They’re the joke of
the century! Sophia threw Sandra—the woman who had brought up the topic and got the old man started
on his lecture—another long re. She simply felt sorry for Sandra. “That’s right. Women shouldn’t put
themselves out there; they don’t deserve to be the heir of a family. Everyone should bring their daughters
up the way you brought Sandra up; she gets fancy clothes, gourmet meals and lives a luxurious life, but
she’ll never dream of getting anypany shares or the chance to be an heir! A daughter should just
work hard to suck up all your resources before she’s sent off to marry another man! How atrocious it is
for my father to give me money, shares and the right to be the sessor of his business!” Sophia’s
words were filled with sarcasm—she sounded as though she was belittling herself, but Sandra could tell
that Sophia was mocking her.
After all, Sandra was practically left with nothing. She didn’t have any shares, and Alex had already
nned for her brother, Albert, to be his sessor. Even though Alex had turned her from an illegitimate
daughter into the Young Lady of the Mitchell Family, she stood no chance of getting any rights or shares
to thepany. Because of that, Sandra did everything in her power to get into others’ good books; it
was the only way she could get married to a rich family and have the whole Mitchell Family kneeling by
her feet.
When Sandra saw thecent look on Sophia’s face and thought of how great Sophia’s life was, she
felt her heart bursting with jealousy! Sophia’s brother, her father and her husband all gave her shares
and inheritances—they even gave her the money to help her purchasepanies and start the JNS
Group! We’re both illegitimate daughters; I sacrificed so much just to get here today, but how did Sophia
get so many things despitezing around without putting in any effort? It’s all because she got married to
a good husband. It’s all fate and luck!
Sandra sneaked behind a bunch of old men right then, watching as they lectured and criticized Sophia’s
role as a woman. Sandra was pleased, but she was still jealous—after all, Sophia wasn’t about to lose all
of her inheritance and shares just because Sandra got a few men to lecture her.
Meanwhile, Alex felt like he was at a dead end right then; thepany was struggling, and hisst bit of
pride as the family head was being tested. Therefore, he found every single way to pick on Sophia—she
was nothing more than a worthless, illegitimate daughter. How dare a mere illegitimate daughter like her
challenge the authority of a family head like me! “I don’t speak to women. Get a man from your family to
speak up instead! Get lost!” he shouted.
“Women like you shouldn’t show up in a ce like this. This isn’t a ce for you! Get lost before we
physically chase you out!” The group of self-centered old men began to shout at Sophia, while Sandra
stood behind them as she snickered at the sight of Sophia’s struggles. However, Sophia simply felt sorry
for all of them. Staying silent, she watched as they hurled malicious, hurtful words at her to express the
anger they held toward their own helplessness.
There were a number of females from the Mitchell Family who were present that day; they were active in
various career fields, and their performances were just as outstanding as their male counterparts. Sophia
felt angry for them, but she also realized the irony of the situation. This is precisely the cause of the
Mitchell Family’s downfall! They’re stubborn, old-fashioned and unmodernized; they discriminate against
those who are different from them. Sophia simply watched as Alex continued to lecture her. After all, they
couldn’t do much apart from shouting at her. Sophia had recorded the entire scene and was about to
send them away once she collected sufficient footage of these people. Not only was she going to kick all
of them out of the event, she was even nning to erase them off the genealogy record book.
Michael told Sophia that she came up with this huge aspiration years ago. After learning about her own
history and how Cooper had been harmed, she developed a goal of erasing the names of all the people
who had harmed her father off of the genealogy record book. She wanted to restore justice, and she
wanted to make a grand entrance back into the Mitchell Family as the family head on Cooper’s behalf;
she wanted to prove her father’s innocence and reim her mother’s status. Lastly, she wanted both
Michael and herself to visit the graves of her ancestors of the Mitchell Family as the new generation of
the Mitchells.
She had been constantly working toward this goal, and Michael—her loving husband—had always been
supportive of her pursuits. Unfortunately, Michael wasn’t present at the monumental event that day; he
had to attend a script-reading session and seemed extremely busy. However, to Sophia’s surprise, a
series of cars pulled up outside right then. Michael’s car was the first to arrive, and he got out of his car
with his men behind him. He looked especially well-dressed and elegant as he strode in. His lengthy
figure was wrapped in a ck suit, its sharp tones contrasting with the white shirt he wore inside. With
his cool, mysterious aura and his picture-perfect facial features, all of the Mitchell Family’s men quickly
stepped aside once they saw him.
They all gave him, the most well-respected son-inw of the Mitchell Family, a warm wee! All of the
Mitchells thought highly of him, for he was the only man who had sessfully captured the heart of
Cooper’s precious little daughter.
“You’re here, Hubby!” Sophia quickly ran over once she saw Michael. He gave her a nce before he
replied in a quiet voice, “Yeah. I’m here.” It was necessary for him, as one of the older sons-inw, to
show up at an asion like this. He was already on the way to work when he first received the news, but
he quickly rushed home after he heard about it. He thought he would be able to arrive along with Sophia,
but she was as quick as lightning; he only arrived a whileter.
Alex and the rest of the men immediately fell silent after Michael appeared. Michael nced at all of
them. “Well, what’s going on now?” he asked. Sophia eyed all of the looks on the men’s faces—they had
been fierce and aggressive earlier, but they miraculously wore pathetic and meek expressions now.
“They were saying that I should stay at home and care for the kids since I’m a woman. They also said
that a woman’s words don’t count; I’d have to wait for a man to arrive,” said Sophia.

“Ah, I see.” Michael nodded before he turned to Alex and the rest. “Well, the man’s here now. What other
excuses do you guys have?” Alex quickly came up with a reason as he red at Michael. “This is the
Mitchell Family’s personal matters. You’re a Fletcher; what has this got to do with you?!”
Michael smirked as he kicked a pebble on the ground beside his feet. “Well, I have to get involved since
you guys are bullying my wife. What are you going to do about that?”
