My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 1347

Linus was directly in charge of the Michel Medical Technology Company. The projects he worked on were important to the future of mankind.

The dental stem cells project had been underway for several years now with good progress.

After Michael finished looking at the project details, he skimmed through and found the project that was heavily encrypted.

He knew that it was a project for him.

It was not for his sake, but Sophia’s.

The opposing party made a surprise attack. Their attack against Linus and Cooper this time was too vicious, and it also involved forces from multiple parties. Indeed, they had planned this for a long time.

Jordan had a deep understanding of the rules of survival in Cethos. On this land, the people needed to be wise and play safe; even richer and more influential families did not dare to become enemies with machines in the country. Otherwise, the aftermath would be devastating. Even a homicide with insufficient evidence was enough to get Cooper and Linus arrested and destroyed.

Furthermore, Jordan had deep connections in the political world. One year, Sam almost became the president, but Jordan dragged him down through various means. Cooper was also someone who instilled fear in people; hence, the higher authorities were probably going to take this opportunity to get something out of him.

Sophia, however, was not giving up that easily and had been going from place to place. She had her own connections in the political world. There might have been a lot of people who wanted to see Cooper’s downfall, but there were just as many who wanted to protect him.

Jordan had merely used some power to go against Cooper, but now, it was no longer just a fight between the two of them; there was also a complex network of forces working in the background.

They might have wanted Cooper’s clean energy technology or taken some of Michel Medical Technology Company’s proprietary technologies for national use.

In recent years, Michel Medical Technology Company was always known to have the most cutting-edge technology globally. They owned many patented drugs that could effectively cure terminal illnesses and that were impossible to replicate. The enormous profit they made from being the only one in the entire world with the technology made everyone envious.

Meanwhile, the media was still tarnishing Cooper and Linus. They would go as far as to dig up the ants they stepped on a few years ago and blow things out of proportion. It was a dangerous sign; it meant that someone was releasing the news beforehand to paint them as heinous criminals. It was to make any sentences made against them in the future seem just.

People in Cethos and the rest of the world all assumed that Cooper was never getting out again, but any news about them was completely sealed off from the public. There was not a single reliable update on them; even Sophia did not know what was happening to them. Nonetheless, the higher authorities would not be so cruel as to make them vanish without a trace.

After all, the issue had grown so big. If they made them disappear without giving a sentence, the Cethosian court would not be able to answer to the people.

Those interested in this matter were eagerly looking at Sophia and Michael’s IG Stories and Twitter accounts to await the latest news.

But Michael remained very calm. He hadn’t tweeted anything in ages or posted anything in his IG stories. Moreover, he did not have any other social media accounts.

Sophia also stopped posting on social media, especially during this sensitive period.

On the fifth day since Cooper and Linus got arrested, good news poured in from various outlets. The Michel headquarters in Africa was under control now, and the company was operating as usual. The few moles were also taken care of. In Europe, Alice had taken control of the Michel headquarters, family, and company.

Currently, Sophia was put in charge of the Michel Group headquarters in Cethos. There was even less of a need to worry about Dragon Technology as Sean, Derek, and Vincent already brought the situation under control.

Cooper and Linus constantly had several capable and expert ‘contingencies’ who stepped up and kept the company from crumbling whenever they weren’t around.

At the moment, outsiders were guessing that Cooper was in prison already.

Some internal personnel also received this news. A group of celebrities who usually seemed close to Michael had kept silent about Taylor Murray. That only stirred people’s curiosity even more and made them wonder if Taylor would also be dragged into the downfall of Cooper and Linus.

They were bound together for good or ill, so Taylor was going to fade away soon.

Taylor and Sophia might also get divorced because he would want to sever all ties with Sophia’s family as quickly as he could. Other questions started to follow like who had custody of the child? Who kept the dogs, cats, and the Bedlington Terrier?

What about their rooster?

That pig of theirs hadn’t made an appearance for a while. Rumors claimed that it didn’t make it past News Year’s Eve.

The people’s attention was directed to those areas as if it was no longer important whether Cooper killed the man or not—Taylor’s divorce was the real breaking news.

During this time, however, Michael suddenly shared a new tweet on his Twitter account. It was an announcement of the Michel Medical Technology Company’s breakthrough in their research for a cure for ALS. The drug was expected to officially go on the market within three years.

Shortly after that announcement was made, the reality show ‘My Grandpa In Shining Armor’ that was rumored to have flopped because of Cooper, announced its release date for episode one of season two.

This reality show failed because of Cooper’s participation in it. When the initial announcement was made, it was all that people talked about. After that, it simply disappeared without a trace. The announcement of the release date caught everyone by surprise, but the point that baffled them more was that the show was not going to be aired on its scheduled variety channel. Instead, it was going to be on Cethos’ largest military channel.

This measly reality show is going to be aired on a military channel?

However, the show actually did air on the military channel. The first filming location was at the ancient Imperial Palace. A few grandfathers were seen taking their grandchildren into the palace where they listened to the explanations of the cultural artifacts and completed some tasks.

Out of all the grandfathers, Cooper shone the brightest for having the best looks, being the most educated, and being the youngest. He had a profound knowledge of the palace and artifacts. Wherever they pointed, they saw rows of cultural artifacts that he had donated.

Moreover, he adored Carmen very much. Every time he gazed at her, his eyes were filled with affection for his granddaughter. He did not pamper her with his love but guided her with composure. His

parenting method was also very modern and progressive. Once the show aired, Cooper immediately garnered a group of fans and became known as the Nation’s First Grandpa.

On that same day, Carmen came home happily and flashed the hole in her mouth as she smiled. “Mommy, all my friends at kindergarten say I have the best grandpa in the world!” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

She could even increase the cost of an autograph at this point.

As usual, Sophia was still occupied with many things. Sam sent news saying that there were a number of forces that wanted to destroy Cooper, but also a number of them that wanted to protect him.

Some people were just too envious of Cooper.

Perhaps they only wanted him to hand over some of his technologies, but they weren’t trying to kill him. However, some of them were trying to take this chance to kill him!

Presently, no one was interested in who killed Clive anymore. He had long become a pawn in this political game.

“Miss Edwards, is that your new bodyguard?” her secretary in the office suddenly asked curiously. The secretary was looking in a particular direction where an exceptional-looking bodyguard was sitting. He had a tall, sturdy figure, a chilly presence, and was wearing black sunglasses. His appearance was very similar to Taylor’s, but he was a lot colder.
