Chapter 1344


    Henry and Ryan, the identical twins, were also with Jordan. They shot Sophia a smug look as they


    walked by.


    After Lucy’s people killed everyst one of the twins’ people, they were sent back to the Yard Family


    and put under house arrest on their property in Bayside City. Now that they were back out again, they


    had been following Jordan around and had even changed theirst names.


    By changing theirst names to Edwards, they were able to seed their father and also inherit their


    mother’s property. They were not going to give up their right to inherit the Edwards Group either as they


    were determined to destroy Lucy.


    Sophia brushed past their provocation and quickly made her way into the elevator.


    When she got to Maddie’s office, she saw that Joel and his military troop were also there. They were all


    dressed in in clothes to disguise themselves as ordinary people, but the way people in the military


    walked and talked were clearly different.


    The truth was that, apart from Maddie, Sophia had alsoe here today to see the military troops.


    Unrted staff in the office were kept away. Maddie also went outside to stand guard by the door while


    a tense discussion took ce inside.


    Once the two parties exchanged greetings with each other, they sat down on opposite sides of each


    other. A middle-aged man who was on equal footing with Joel hade from the military. He must


    have had a strong backing. If Joel hadn’t rmended him, Sophia would never have met someone


    like him.


    She had the assistant hand over the relevant documents. “These are the rted research information


    on the camouge feature. The results we’ve gotten over the years are all in there.”


    The other party received the documents with a smile. After the brief meeting, they took the documents


    with them and left through the secret passageway. Because they left just as discreetly as they had


    arrived, the people at the newspaper office werepletely unaware that several big figures had


    dropped by.


    When Nichs went to save Sophia after Quinton abducted her a few years ago, he unintentionally


    exhibited Michel Military Technology’stest camouge feature. It allowed one to change colors


    ording to their environment in order to stay hidden and avoid radar detectors. It was a feature that


    the military was very interested in.


    At the time, it was still in its early stages and not fully developed yet.


    Later on, the Fletcher Family managed to attain the materials and rted technical information from


    Linus for the Cethosian military to begin their own research. Unfortunately, several years had passed


    and they were still unable to produce any results. The technology in the state-owned arms factories in


    Cethos was just not up to par with the Michel Group’s, which were the secondrgest arms dealer in


    the world.


    Since the Michel Group upgraded this technology and started putting it into practical use, the Cethosian


    military was especially keen. Sophia had willingly contributed to itstest sess.


    The forces against Cooper this time were terrifyingly powerful and involved too many things. Even if the


    Fletcher Family stepped in, Sophia felt the need to find more power for protection.


    “The Fletcher Family won’t just sit back and let this happen,” Joel said in a stern voice before leaving.


    He felt an inescapable responsibility for this matter. Even if the people attacking Cooper did not take


    advantage of the current situation, they were going to find another way in the future. The spark that set


    things off this time, however, was that Clive had raped Sophia. He was from Maddie’s maternal side of


    the family, and the person who killed him was Quinton—one of the Fletchers’ people. As the head of


    the Fletcher Family, Joel was not going to run away from his responsibilities.


    “Thank you.” Sophia stood up and bade him farewell.


    She did not forget to remind him. “Don’t startle Old Master.”


    He nodded then went on his way. He was determined to do this right and not put Mark in shock.


    Mark was already over a hundred years old. Joel was not going to trouble him with these things.


    Despite knowing that the Fletcher Family was going to take action this time, Sophia did not want to wait


    for someone to save her.


    As the second-leadingpany in the global arms industry, the Michel Military Enterprise always


    dominated with thetest technology. Cethos might have banned guns in the country, but several of


    their state-owned arms factories were the top in the world. Nheless, they were also envious of


    Michel Military that was ahead of them.


    Since Sophia had shared some of their resources with them, the Cethos military was very pleased and


    were not going to let Cooper get destroyed so easily.


    After the meeting with Joel ended, Sophia had a talk with Maddie.


    “Don’t worry; I will take over the media. Let me write the press release!” Maddie reassured.


    She also felt a strong sense of responsibility for this issue. Because she couldn’t hide from it, she was


    determined to do her best.


    Once the discussion with Maddie ended, Sophia headed to Michel Group’s Cethosian branch.


    In the past, it used to be Linus’ territory. Although Sophia also held a title at Michel Group, she rarely


    came to thepany. But today, she was there as the emergency person-in-charge during that critical


    time.


    Strictly speaking, the Michel Group was a family corporation. People were caught off guard by her


    sudden arrival, but they did not stop her.


    Inside a conference room, Sophia started a video conference with the people in Africa.


    They reported the sudden events that had happened over the past two days.


    Several of the heads working in the branch in Africa were attacked—some died on the spot while some


    were sent to the hospital. Their business partners were also pulling out at thest minute. Currently,


    they were all left without leaders.


    There were many people who wanted to take the opportunity to get promoted.


    Some of them wanted to step up to save the desperate situation, some probably wanted to make


    money, and some had other hidden motives.


    On the other side of the video call, the executives at the African branch gave a report on their situation.


    As they were reporting, the meeting started to get heated. Theypletely disregarded Sophia, the


    daughter whom Fass had brought out of nowhere.


    She had never participated in theirpany’s management before, and she did not even know who


    was who.


    While they were arguing, Sophia looked up from the documents and instructed, “Wilson, I am


    appointing you as the acting person-in-charge of the Michel Group headquarters in Africa. You must


    clear everything up within three days. Everyone else must assist Wilson inpleting this task. If you


    do well, you won’t just be the acting person-in-charge anymore.”


    The people who had been arguing were taken aback.


    She knows us?


    Someone immediately objected, “Miss Lucile, I don’t understand why you would pick Wilson.”


    Looking away, Sophia took a sip of coffee then looked back up at the screen and identified the person


    who had just raised an objection. “Mr. Watson, I might not have directly participated in Michel Group’s


    internal management, but my father has nurtured me this whole time with the hope that I could return to


    thepany someday. I’ve been watching all of you and have a good understanding of each person.


    Of course, I have my own reasons for choosing Wilson.”


    They had stopped arguing now and were all doubting the capability of the young woman.

    Meanwhile, Sophia ended the conference and quickly rushed off to deal with other things.


    She was confident in the person she had chosen for this role. Since she kept an eye on them all this


    time, she was familiar with their day-to-day work. Wilson, the person she picked, was someone that


    both Cooper and Linus were fond of. He would certainly get the job done.


    A sessful decision-maker had to be aware of the strengths and weaknesses of the people working


    under him, and be able to use them during critical times. He did not use those he had doubts over while


    those he did use did not give him any doubts.


    As for the list of moles in the Michel Group, Anna had already handed that over to Cooper. Cooper


    wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of those people, but he still had not done so for fear that it might


    alert the enemy.


    Now, Sophia was going to take this chance to get rid of them!
