“I’m on my way to the filming location. We’re entering an isolated area now. The line might be bad.”

Sophia was on the phone with Michael, but his voice kept cutting out. It looked like they were losing connection.

“Okay, you should focus on filming now then. I’m hanging up.” She blew a kiss into the phone.

After the call ended, however, she still felt uneasy. On the one hand, she was thinking about the advantages that a fake marriage would bring. Even though family did not equate entirely to business, the Michel Group was currently being managed by Linus and Alice. Fass’ daughter did not have as much authority as Linus’ wife would have. If she and Linus got married, it would be much easier to enter the company.

On the other hand, her conscience was bugging her. The more she thought about it, the more the fake marriage seemed flustering and awkward. Moreover, she was going to marry her own uncle.

She spent the whole night tossing and turning in bed, wondering if Michael was in the same state as she was in.

On the other side of the world, Michael was filming a movie in a mountainous region. There were many developed places overseas, but the infrastructure in some places was just unlike Cethos’, especially when it came to phone signals. All in all, they even had Wi-Fi connection in their subway stations in Cethos while many places overseas did not even have a basic mobile network.

Once Michael arrived at the filming location, he grabbed his high-end Dragon Eye phone and searched for a signal everywhere. He eventually managed to call Sophia, but it kept indicating that her line was busy. When the call finally went through, her voice came in choppy and they were unable to say a complete sentence.

Later, he gave a call to Justin that also only went through after a long while and sounded just as choppy.

Some time ago, he planned to let Cooper drop the search for his son, but a flood of events occurred and the matter ended up being delayed. Now that he was overseas, he entrusted Justin with the matter.

 

On the other hand, since they found Lorelei and brought her home, Cooper feared that Justin would sense something if he had nothing better to do, so he started sending Justin out to look for his son on his behalf.

According to Michael’s plan, he was going to make Cooper abandon the search by the end of the month.

 

Through their choppy conversation, Michael was able to receive an update on Sophia.

Justin replied, “She’s been quite busy lately with the partnership contract with Ronney. The line over there is bad, so video calls won’t work. Carmen has no way of seeing you. These days, we’ve been fooling her with fake video calls from you.”

“Fake video calls? What’s that?”

“Video… with this software… edited… your voice… combined to
