After pulling away from the hug, the two of them walked out of the garage laughing and saw Michael in front of them.

“Linus, you’re back.”

Michael spoke as if he never treated himself as an outsider at all.

Looking at the matching shirts Sophia and Michael were wearing, Linus subconsciously shifted his gaze. “Yes, I’m back.”

However, Michael thought there was something different about Linus today, but he could not put his finger on it.

Since it was the new year’s, it was great that he was back to celebrate with everyone. It would not be the same without Linus.

After his return, he went to meet Cooper, who was in his study.

“I’ve met with the Family Elders Council and told them about Sophia’s situation. I managed to buy some time for her and Carmen to prepare.”

In fact, the council was getting impatient. They wanted Sophia and Carmen to return to the Michel family as soon as possible, but Cooper had not settled their registries yet.

However, the Fletcher Family certainly would not let Carmen go easily, and Cooper did not know how to tell Mark about it.

 

As for Sophia… He was more worried about her. If she returned to the family now, she would have to undergo DNA tests. She was the daughter of Fass Michel, so she would naturally be the focus of the council. They were hoping for her to be Fass’s second in command, and that she would take over the responsibilities soon. However, with Sophia’s current situation, there was definitely no way she could take over the responsibilities of the Michel Family so soon.

While Linus and Alice both grew up receiving elite education from the Michel Family and Cooper’s guidance, Sophia was too inexperienced compared to them.

 

To Cooper, she was still his dog-leash-selling baby. If she returned to the Michel family now, she would have to compete with Linus and Alice. She was still lacking in terms of resources, experience, and connections.

This time, Linus had gone back just to buy a little more time for them.

After hearing Linus’s report, Cooper patted his shoulder and said sincerely, “You’ve done well.”
