In the end, their plan fell through. Suddenly, Sean’s sarcastic remark broke the silence. “I’ve told you since the beginning that you’ll only bring misfortune to the Mitchell Family if you do this.”
All the Mitchells sank into a long silence. Judging from Mark’s earlier tone, it was obvious that he was genuinely enraged. Indeed, Sean had reminded them from the very beginning but the Mitchells were too full of themselves.
They thought that Taylor was just a mere actor, but it turned out that he was Mark’s grandson. Wouldn’t that mean…
“Dismissed!” Alex shouted.
After that incident, the Mitchell Family’s reputation was tarnished, especially Alex’s personal reputation, which dropped to rock-bottom. Because of that, all the Mitchells started to search for Cooper with everything they had. Right now, Alex had completely put aside Natasha’s issue because a bigger threat of his would soon return.
Initially, Michael wasn’t planning to expose the news that Cooper was still alive. However, what Natasha did completely annoyed Sophia so she had to leak out that news. In that case, Alex and Natasha would be busy fending themselves. Naturally, it was easier for the Mitchells to locate Cooper than an outsider like Michael. As Cooper’s ex-subordinate, Sean and his uncles were the main force who were searching for him.
At the same time, Sean took the opportunity to enter the Mitchell’s confidential vault and found classified information about Cooper, including the identity of Cooper’s mother. The origin of Cooper’s mother was a mystery. Throughout Woody’s life, he had two wives and his first wife stayed by him from his youth until he reached his middle age. She passed away due to illness when Woody was fifty.
Since then, Woody sank into despondency for a few years before he married a girl of a different race from overseas. No one knew who she was and Woody had never revealed her identity.
Since Woody was already in his fifties, his family didn’t poke their nose into his marriage. Later on, that girl gave birth to a pair of twins but unfortunately, the daughter died prematurely whereas the son was Cooper. Cooper’s mother was Sean’s main focus in his investigation.
After Sophia came back from Mitchell Residence, she spent most of her time working and intensively devising a series of plans to clear Michael’s vilification. The first step was to expose the news that Michael personally went to the public security bureau to report the Murrays, in hopes of stirring up a discussion. After the public security bureau completed their investigation, they would need to issue a notice immediately.
In the past, Taylor rarely became an ambassador but he had filmed a few public service announcements. On top of that, he was the anti-drug ambassador of Cethos and had publicly stated his detestation toward all kinds of drugs on several occasions.
Therefore, it was only natural for him to report the Murray siblings because they committed drug abuse and trafficking. It not only seemed reasonable, he also gained a lofty image of placing righteousness above family loyalty as well, putting him under the halo of an anti-drug ambassador.
On the contrary, Old Madam Murray’s humiliation during the press conference was deliberately fabricated as an action done out of her anger because Taylor insisted to report the Murray siblings for drug abuse. Once this was revealed, Michael’s personal reputation was redeemed in no time and it even rose to its peak.
‘Sending love to our idol for the grievance he received this time.’
‘As expected, what you see on the surface might be fake. Every time our idol feels aggrieved, he’ll never say anything.’
‘In the future, I won’t trust any negative news about Taylor!’
‘Did all of you forget that our idol donated a national treasure not long ago?’
Browsing through the comments on the internet, Sophia was overjoyed. Finally, she saved her idol again and she couldn’t be prouder. Not only did her sense of achievement grow, the wedding ring on her finger seemed to shine even brighter as well. Right now, Taylor’s popularity had risen to its peak and all kinds of news about him almost overtook the Internet.
‘Scary Phoenix has arrived: Taylor confirmed to act in ‘Swordsman’, the adapted film with the same title!’
‘Taylor’s team held a press conference today and announced the launching of the film ‘Imperial Seal’!’
