Chapter 291
Even though Michael knew that the possibility was unlikely, he didn’t want to leave any stone unturned. Once the comparison was done, Abel replied, “It isn’t him.”
Michael let out a sigh of relief as he was hoping that Quinton wasn’t Phantom Wolf. After all, Quinton was once his student. He and Harry then discussed the progress in the basement before using a secret passage to enter his study. When they exited his study, he entered Sophia’s study room.
She was in the midst of doing her assignments quietly. When she saw him coming in, she asked nervously, “Is Professor Clark Phantom Wolf?”
Michael shook his head. “The fingerprints and lip print don’t match. His whereabouts have been transparent for the past few years, so he can’t be Phantom Wolf.”
From the given information, Quinton went abroad after graduating from Bayside University. He studied economics while he was abroad—with lots of information to support that claim. After returning to the country, he became a lecturer in Bayside University with an untainted resume.
Sophia was also relieved, so she continued to do her assignment. Sadly, she could no longer concentrate the moment Michael entered. How can I focus when my idol is lingering around me? She accidentally went from doing her assignment to doing the guy in bed.
He was terrifyingly vigorous that she felt that she was being tortured to death, thinking, I feel that my parts will wear out sooner or later. After their first breakthrough, his demand became even greater—he needed to come at least once every night, making her feel that she was about to be the first girl to be worn out by intimate activities in history.
Until the day when Phantom Wolf was found, Michael didn’t feel safe for Sophia to return to school, so she had to stay at home and temporarily teach herself.
Stanley wanted to visit her everyday to teach her English and Further Mathematics, but was left standing at the front door each time. After his visit became too frequent, Michael had asked someone to put up a sign at the entrance. ‘Stanley and dogs are not allowed to enter.’
Stanley, who was walking his dog, was denied access to the house along with his pet. He shouted at the entrance, “Sophia, has my uncle placed you under house arrest? Please reply to my Messenger! My dog is so cute. How can you forbid it from entering? You all are monsters! Michael, I will sue you for abusing my aunt! You are an abusive demon!”
Ever since the incident, Sophia has stopped going to school. She applied for sick leave, but it’s obvious that she isn’t sick at all. Michael has definitely grounded her and she might have already been beaten up by him. Judging from his temper, he would simply hit her if she doesn’t agree to what he says. Poor Sophia. It must have been hell for her! Stanley was becoming anxious, so he quickly returned home with his dog to think of a plan.
The moment Michael returned home in the evening, he received a call from Old Master Fletcher. “Mike, why don’t you ask Sophie to come and play chess with me? Darn it, everyone sucks at playing chess here. I like playing it with her, so I’ll ask Stan to pick her up later. I’ve decided, so you can’t object!”
Michael felt resigned. I seldom return to the Fletcher Family nowadays and only return to visit Old Master Fletcher once a year. Since he likes Sophia, I’ll just let her head over to have fun with him. The military compound is definitely safe for her.
A short while after the call ended, Stanley came to pick Sophia up. Michael also purposely asked them to bring Nathan along. The weekend had almost arrived, so he wanted Nathan to accompany the old man as well. The old man will eventually know of Sophia’s presence sooner or later, so it’s better for him to familiarize himself with her first. He didn’t need the Fletcher Family’s acceptance of Sophia; he only wanted the old man’s acceptance.
Before they left, she asked him curiously, “Who is that old man?”
He was helping Nathan to move the things that the latter needed into the car while answering her question, “He is my grandpa.”
He is actually Michael’s grandfather! She was suddenly in awe as she still hadn’t known who Michael’s grandfather was, but if his father was a brilliant man, his grandfather must be even more accomplished. She asked again, “Your grandpa must be a famous person when he was young, right?”
While closing the trunk of the car, Michael responded, “Yes, he is famous. I’ve signed up for a documentary film and will be playing him.” After much consideration, he decided to make the movie and play a younger Mark. There had been lots of movies portraying the old man, but he always wanted Michael to play him once.
When the car started to move, Sophia thought about what Michael had told her. He wants to play his grandfather? This means that his grandfather is also a revolutionary hero! As his fan, she had heard rumors in the fans network that Taylor was rumored to have accepted a role in a documentary film. In the film, he was going to play the role of the founding general—Mark Fletcher.
Wait a minute, Mark Fletcher?! Sophia was suddenly shocked. Mark Fletcher is actually Michael’s grandfather? The Mark Fletcher who left a stunning record in history books? The Mark Fletcher who took up an entire page and three or four knowledge points in my modern history textbook? Oh my God, that means I have played chess a few times with Mark Fletcher! She started to break out in cold sweat due to shock.
However, ever since news that Taylor would portray Mark was revealed, many netizens came out to oppose the casting. They wrote that Taylor would tarnish the name of the revolutionary hero—Mark Fletcher. Now that Sophia knew about the piece of news, she felt extremely proud. Who else is better suited to play Mark Fletcher other than Michael?NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
The car soon arrived at the military compound. Unlike previous times, they did not stop at the garden and instead drove straight to the Fletcher Residence. While on the road, she ran into Stanley. The moment he saw the raw wound on her neck and the bruises on her face, he became furious. “Look at yourself. That scumbag! He actually laid his hands on you and you still chose to be with him! Leave him!”
She definitely couldn’t tell him that it was actually Phantom Wolf who injured her. As she touched her face, she felt that it was still a bit swollen as Phantom Wolf had slapped her a few times. Therefore, she answered, “It’s because I fell down. Stop imagining things!”
Even then, he still wouldn’t believe her, secretly vowing in his heart, I must save her from this hell.
For their current meeting, she was exceptionally nervous when meeting the old man. He is a founding general. How can I not be nervous?!
The old man currently lived inside Villa No.1 with guards patrolling the area. As Sophia and Nathan walked in that direction, they could see from afar that Old Master Fletcher was already sitting in the courtyard, waiting for them with his chess board. When he saw them coming, he patted his thigh happily. “Oh, you all are finally here!”
As soon as Sophia arrived, Old Master Fletcher immediately wanted to play chess with her. She did not dare to defeat him like before, so she carefully and silently lost on purpose. After one round, the old man saw what she did, so he knocked on his cane and bellowed, “Little girl, don’t think that I can’t notice you losing on purpose! I won’t allow it! I want you to play. Play the game properly!”
After his admonition, she quickly returned to her usual level and badly defeated the old man. Finally, he felt satisfied.
While playing chess, the old man asked her, “I’ve heard that Mike has agreed to play me? Is that true? Has he signed the contract? Are there any set photos?”
