My Dreamy Old Husband
Chapter 498

From that night onward, Sophia did not dare to appear in the game group chat for several days. She was afraid of remembering how she became Linus’ godsister that night and she was even more afraid to meet Linus in the chat. That'll be awkward. She disapproved when Michael got himself a godsister, but now she had found a godbrother herself.

After Sophia became Linus’ godsister, Stanley often urged Linus to play mahjong with him. The two called each other brothers and they hung out together often. Stanley even cooperated with Linus on a big project.

The Michel Family focused on electronics, while Michael's company produced online games. Thus, the two did not have much conflict and had cooperated with each other before.

Sophia also finally found out Linus’ identity, who happened to be the young president of the Michel Family, as well as Fass’ younger brother. Sophia wanted to ask Linus about Fass identity in person, but in the end, she suppressed that urge. Let's wait till the time is right...

Soon, Linus also officially entered Bayside University and began studying his favorite economics degree. At the same time, the Michel Group announced its entry into the Cethos electronics market. The Mitchell Family was the first to feel threatened by the Michel Family's entry into the Cethos market. After all, the Michel Family and the Mitchell Family were in the same industry!

Today, the Mitchell Family held another meeting where the elders of the Mitchell Family and the executives of the group gathered together to discuss how to deal with the Michel Family. However, they could not come up with a definite plan even after much discussion.

The Michel Family was definitely the best among its peers globally. They had developed rapidly in the past ten years and if they entered the Cethos market, they would become a great threat to the Mitchell Family. That being said, the Mitchell Family might not even be capable enough to withstand the competition. Plus, their current family head, Alex, was not Linus’ opponent at all!

The Mitchell Family finally realized that they had only been doing well due to the foundation Cooper had built and their stability of the past ten years was because of the wealth left over from Cooper's era. But now, the wealth left by Cooper was finally exhausted. A series of contracts that Cooper won for the Mitchell Family before his death ten years ago, which had supported the Mitchell Family for so long, had now expired.

As soon as the Michel Family entered the market, the partners turned to cooperate with the Michel Group instead. Compared with the Michel Family, the Mitchell Family was still too inexperienced and not competitive enough. Moreover, that blockhead Natasha had caused a lot of trouble for the Mitchell Family.

The stage name and marriage incident that had caused a huge commotion some time ago had caused Taylor to embarrass them on the spot, and Mark even came over to question them. Now, Taylor had hired a lawyer and was engaging in a lawsuit, and he had also rejected Natasha's offer to build a museum.

To top it all off, Natasha had also boasted that Alex had the limited edition watch. Although the misunderstanding had been handled with Alex insisting that the watch had been auctioned off and the buyer's identity was unknown. Still, she was thoroughly embarrassed.

The current family head's total earnings for ten years was even less than Cooper's yearly revenue. Thus, the Mitchell Family was now eager to find Cooper and ask him to come back. Only when he returned could the Mitchell Family be rescued from its current plight.

Alex's expression began to darken while Natasha remained silent as she stood off to one side. However, extreme dissatisfaction and resentment filled Natasha's lowered face.

Then, someone asked Sean, “Sean, how's the progress of your search for Uncle Cooper?”

Sean, who was originally sitting while playing with his mobile phone, replied, “I don't know. I've been busy these days so I haven't been involved in this matter.”

Sean just brought the news back and relayed them to Alex, who was tasked with finding Cooper. Alex, on the other hand, would definitely not go all out to find Cooper. If possible, he would delay it as long as he could. Sean did not bother too much with the search either. He just stole information from the Mitchell Family and looked for Cooper with Michael.

Someone else chimed in, “Sean, you've been getting close with Linus recently, eh? You should make good use of your extensive network!”

Hearing this, everyone looked at Sean. Sean smiled bitterly. “It's not me who is close to Linus, but Stan of the Fletcher Family. The both of them are currently working on a big project together. I just do some secretarial work in the company so I don't know much about the business.”

After that, no one asked Sean questions anymore. The matters in the Mitchell Family were too complicated and Sean didn't want to get too involved. Although he was also a genius in computer science, he chose literature as a major when he submitted his application. He never joined Mitchell Family's enterprise and instead chose to start a business with Stanley.

Even if he joined the Mitchell Family's business, he would not have been allowed to manage the core business. Cooper's former subordinates had been excluded from the core of the Mitchell Family bit by bit over the years, and many of them had gone on to start their own business. Someone then proposed a new plan. “We can cooperate with the Michel Family. Isn't Linus unmarried? There are so many outstanding unmarried girls in the Mitchell Family so why don't we unite by marriage?”

If they wanted to be allied with Michel Family through marriage, they would definitely choose the best and most outstanding unmarried woman.

The first person that came to mind was Natasha. Even if she had done shameful things before, she was still an excellent woman. If it was Natasha, Linus would definitely agree. Thus, they finally settled on a solution after discussion—marriage! They needed to find a way to let Linus be the son-in-law of the Mitchell Family!

After the meeting, Sean left with an indifferent smile on his face. This was the Mitchell Family. When they knew that a threat was coming, they didn't think about how to improve their products and enhance their competitiveness, instead they thought about marriage. If Cooper was here, they wouldn't have faced such worries.

After sighing, Sean left the Mitchell Family to go to the company. However, he received a call from Stanley. “Come on, Sean. Let's go to Sophia’s house for dinner tonight!”

However, Sean murmured, “We're going to eat for free again? Uncle Michael is getting upset. I don't think it's a good idea...”

Stanley cursed on the phone, “Sunset gave birth to a litter of orange cats. I must f*cking make Sophia pay for this!”

Upon hearing that, Sean was speechless.

The weather was getting cold as Bayside City entered late autumn. At Villa No. 8 of The Imperial, Stanley came to the door with a cat carrier. “Sophia, just f*cking look at this. Take a look! Come and take a look!”

He thrust the carrier at Sophia's face and inside was a pair of orange kittens nursing from Sunset. They had barely started to grow tufts of fur. Sophia's eyes darted around and she mumbled, “What does this have to do with me? There are so many orange cats in the military compound...”

“I don't care; you have to take responsibility! You have to compensate me with at least two bottles of wine!”

Stanley and Sean came in while carrying the cat carrier together. As soon as he entered the door, he went to look for the wine. Meanwhile, Sophia took Sunset out and placed her in her lap as she watched the kittens. The kittens of Ragdoll and the domestic orange cat are really cute...

Nathan, who was holding his dog, also hastened over to take a look. Meanwhile, Sean went to the study to find Michael. Recently, Michael was shooting a documentary film in Bayside City so he could go home every day. “Uncle, has there been any progress in looking for Uncle Cooper?” Michael shook his head. He had been too busy lately, so Abel was in full charge of this matter. He hadn't seen Fass for a month after going to Africa too and did not have any photos, so he had no choice but to come back. Fass was so cautious that he did not even manage to take a picture.

Sean then told him about the results of his investigation. He did not use the power of the Mitchell Family to find Cooper, but he found many things about Cooper in the Mitchell Family's data room, such as Cooper's mother.

“Uncle Cooper's mother's background is very mysterious. The Mitchell Family couldn't find any information about her identity and she died very young. I suspect that she is the daughter of the former family head of the Michel Family, Beyoncé.”
