Alice and Cooper regained their positions in the Michel Family, while Sophia and Carmen were also allowed to go back to Europe to visit their relatives.
Meanwhile, Cooper’s old son-in-law, Michael, and Anna also tagged along.
Even though the Michel Family seemed to be quite hostile to them, they could do nothing about it so they relented helplessly.
According to Michael’s analysis, everything was able to succeed because of Daniel’s persuasion—he could completely thwart one’s mindset and beliefs.
Apart from that, the situation was also getting out of hand for the Michel Family. After the head of the family took the lead to leave, more people would follow suit.
Once such an opportunity arised, no one could predict what might happen next.
Apart from that, Cooper’s wife was also powerful—she was the head of the Yard Family. Even though the Michel Family did not like her, they also had to weigh the gains and losses. Sophia’s new idea of a luxury brand was also something new and if they could work together, they would definitely have a new business line coming up. However, if the Michel Family continued with their nonsense, a collaboration was out of the question.
Both the Yard and Michel Family were kings in their fields so their news was constantly monitored by the media. Once Cooper announced that he was going to join the Yard Family, the stocks of the Yard Group shot up while the Michel Family’s market value dropped drastically.
However, if one were to think of it from another perspective and change their mindset, the Yard Group would be able to work with the Michel Family immediately. What was there to lose?
Daniel elaborated on these few main points and spoke to the people from the Michel Family for the entire day. He chattered away, speaking from the glorious history of the Michel Family to the current success that Yard Group was flourishing in. After taking a few classic examples from the past and a few current successful examples, he finally succeeded in convincing them.
On top of that, he even managed to persuade the elders to acknowledge him as the son-in-law of the Michel Family.
Through this incident, the Michel Family finally realized that the world was constantly changing and that they could not hold on to the old rules anymore.
Even though such a huge family had been leading the times and accumulated a lot of wealth—they had even sparked a technological change—deep down they were very fearful of change. After all, no one knew what change would bring.
However, it seemed like this small change had brought upon a positive effect.
After Daniel had convinced them, he stayed back. When Alice came to know about the news, she happily returned to visit her family, as did Cooper and his family.
Both Sophia and Carmen had made the Michel Family love and hate them at the same time.
They loved their intelligence and perfect genes inherited from Cooper but they hated the fact that they did not take the last name ‘Michel’.
Of course, Sophia had a deal with them. In the future, Carmen’s French name would be Gianna Michel and she would use this name for all public events. Unfortunately, Cethos did not allow for double nationality. Otherwise, she would be able to sign up for a passport here.
The huge family stayed in the Michel Family compound for a few days, feasting and enjoying themselves until they were satisfied before leaving. When Carmen left, she brought many ‘local specialities’ with her.
A few days later, dozens of sheep appeared in Michael’s house—those were the so-called ‘local specialities’ Carmen mentioned; they had thick wool that could be sheared for a long time.
“Daddy, can I have them at the work studio?” Carmen asked excitedly.
There’s so many sheep! After their wool is sheared, I wonder how many pillows we can make!
Hearing that, Michael’s expression darkened.
In the end, all of the sheep were taken to a farm.
During the weekend, Sophia went to the farm to visit the sheep. She also took the opportunity to shear some wool as raw materials for Carmen.
Since Anna had never been to Michael’s farm, she came over with Callum. The entire family began to shear the sheep wool that belonged to the capitalistic Michel Family.
Seeing the animals in the farm, Sophia suddenly remembered something and asked Callum, who was shearing wool next to her, “By the way, what happened to the buffalo and the few sheep you stole the other day? Don’t tell me that you turned them into a stew?”
