My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 628

The illegitimate children had dreamed of seeing their father more often. They weren’t expecting to inherit the Mitchell’s Family, but they just hoped that Alex would visit them occasionally and provide them with a bit more living expenses every month. If Alex was in a good mood, he would reward them with a gift that ordinary people would never dream of having.

These two siblings were just some of the many illegitimate children Alex had raised outside. Although they were well fed and had a roof over their heads, anyone would want to work their way up to the ladder of success.

Speaking of Derek’s sister, Sophia remembered that his sister—Sandra—was about to graduate high school this year. She was an art student who had great athletic performance.

“By the way, what about your sister? How is she doing?”

“Oh, my mother is pretty worried about Sandra. My sister is in the swimming team, so she was almost selected for the national team to represent Cethos to participate in the Universal Games.”

Sophia knew that Sandra was a swimmer, but she didn’t expect that the latter had nearly made it to the national team…

The Universal Games was the biggest event in the world! Being able to participate in the games was already impressive, not to mention winning a prize from it! Winning a bronze medal in the Universal Games was more than enough to honor one’s ancestors!

Sophia felt a tug at her heartstrings as her ears perked up.

Sandra was Derek’s sister, which meant that she was also Alex’s daughter. From what she could remember, Sandra looked similar to Cooper but had Alex’s proud temperament.

“Why didn’t she get in?” Sophia asked.

Derek shrugged. “Sabotage, I guess… Besides, my mom had to take care of my stupid, good-for-nothing uncle. Hence, she didn’t have enough money to buy better equipment for my sister. You probably don’t know this, but the swimmers in their team wear swimsuits worth several millions which have been personally designed by well known designers. When they put it on, they’re faster by a few more seconds—those mere seconds can make a great difference to their results. My sister didn’t have such good equipment, so her results weren’t as impressive as theirs. We didn’t even have enough money for her expenses.”

“I don’t think she’ll be joining this year’s Universal Games, so my mom has been trying to contact Alex about it. However, he hasn’t visited my mom in a year.”

…

Those were just mindless words, but Sophia had already taken the matter to her heart.

In the end, Sophia dropped Derek near Riverdale High School and threw Ben and Rosie to the nearby police station.

As they bid farewell to each other, Sophia said, “You helped me so much before, so now it’s my turn to help you. I’ve helped you with your uncle, so don’t go out to the streets with him anymore. I’ll try to talk to the principal about your studies. Your results were great back then, so it shouldn’t be hard to get you reinstated. I’ll also help you figure out a way to help your sister’s situation.”

Derek looked embarrassed. “Sophia, you don’t have to do this—”

Sophia patted his shoulder and said, “It’s fine. Relax and just focus on studying well. When you’re done with your studies, come and work for me in my company.”

After sending Derek away, Sophia changed her clothes in the car and asked Michael to drop her off at Riverdale High School.

Michael knew that Sophia was not that kind; even if she had a good relationship with Derek, they were still Alex’s illegitimate children. There seemed to be an ulterior motive behind her enthusiasm, but Michael just couldn’t seem to figure out what it was…

Summer break had soon arrived, and Sophia spent all her time on her work. After helping the Oak Family to solve their problems, she began to work earnestly while Michael was packing up for a movie shooting in a film studio out of town.

When Danny came to pick Michael up, he was dressed in green leather pants. He also sported colorfully dyed hair and a pair of sassy glasses. Michael was very worried that Sophia would go out fighting again, so he told Hale and Gary to keep an eye on her. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to persuade her, but there would be someone who could block a knife for her at the very least when they followed her.

Hale despised the fact that he had to help Sophia fight a group of high school students, but he still had to accept Michael’s orders.

With that, Michael left on his private jet. Ever since Sophia had received Cooper’s inheritance, she was living like a noblewoman. She had so much money to spend that she even bought Michael his own private jet plane.

From now on, her idol would no longer be afraid of stupid fans blocking his way—he could go wherever he wanted to!

Michael had begun filming his new movie in a film studio. He had invested in the production of this movie and polished the script numerous times. They hired many A-list movie stars as well as rising talents.

For example, an influencer named Chester—whose career had been quite successful thanks to his dashing Westerner looks that looked almost like Cooper—had already charmed many of the women in Cethos.

This time round, Michael wanted Chester to act in a supporting role. Chester would portray a heartless western merchant who specialized in stealing Cethos cultural relics and would be beaten up by him, the protagonist. Pretending that he was beating up Cooper seemed like a pretty good idea…
