He had noticed her earlier at the film studio as she took a selfie stick and stood by the street in her costume and took pictures with anyone. He, too, wanted a picture with her, so he moved closer and finally got to be in the same frame with her. Back then, everything seemed so wonderful. Unfortunately, all those magical moments were just popped bubbles. Linus put down the picture carefully and went back into work.
Phantom Wolf had stayed on the that exploded plane, and after the plane exploded, the wreckage crashed into a deserted forest in the mountains. In theory, it was impossible for Phantom Wolf to have survived the crash. But Linus was still uneasy; he knew how cunning and cruel Phantom Wolf was, and that was why he had to predict the worst outcome of everything.
Only when he killed Phantom Wolf with his bare hands and dismembered him into pieces would he then believe that the latter was really dead. If he didn’t see the corpse, he would never believe that Phantom Wolf was actually dead!
Even if Phantom Wolf didn’t die, he wouldn’t dare to cause any more troubles in Cethos. If he had managed to escape, he would have left the country by now. Linus’ foundation in Cethos was not stable enough, so he couldn’t take any actions against Phantom Wolf, but once the latter was out of the country, the matter would be easier to handle.
Since the beginning of time, the lawful and unlawful had always been codependent. Every time some big shot encountered a problem that the police couldn’t solve, they would then turn to the dark underground forces of the criminal world, such as Phantom Wolf.
Phantom Wolf was a notorious name that everyone hated, but his sponsors were scattered all over the world, from the rich businessmen in Cethos to foreign officials, and even some royal family members. As long as the world was filled with greedy, atrocious people, then there was still a place for Phantom Wolf. But this time, Linus swore that he would never allow Phantom Wolf to harm Sophia and Nathan.
While the black Cayenne car was parked in the cemetery, Sophia was sitting in a daze and hadn’t spoken since she got into the car. Michael was silent too, but he had caught sight of the overwhelming grief and conflict in her eyes. There were times where he wanted to tell her the truth, but he stopped himself before he did.
Now, he was almost certain that Fass Michel was actually Cooper Mitchell. When Fass inadvertently met the gifted and intelligent Linus and adopted him, he wouldn’t have expected the latter to be his biological son. Furthermore, he wouldn’t have known that Annabel gave birth to twins back then. People would change, and nobody knew whether Fass was still the same Cooper from a decade ago.
This brief contact with Linus had almost cost the lives of the Fletcher Family and Sophia, so Michael would definitely not allow Sophia to contact Fass and his son without precautions. Michael could sense the feelings Linus had for Sophia. Although they hadn’t reconnected as siblings, the strong family bond that was in their blood involuntarily caused him to treat Sophia well.
Despite knowing this, Linus did not hesitate and used Sophia to gather information about the Fletcher Family, and he even lured the Phantom Wolf to her side. In Linus’ eyes, family bond was nothing, and he was indifferent toward that notion. Michael swore he wouldn’t let her suffer this kind of pain anymore!
As the car slowly started, Sophia leaned against the window. Her heart felt hollow and depressed, as if the air was running out of her lungs, making it hard to breathe. I just want to cry out loud… All of a sudden, she turned her head toward Michael and asked, “Can I cry?”
The recent events were all good news—Phantom Wolf finally died; Celine managed to stay alive; and Linus, who was concealing the evil plans, had also left. But Sophia still felt very depressed, and she just wanted to cry as hard as she could.
