My Dreamy Old Husband
Chapter 459

Michael had figured out what really happened.

The policeman then questioned Sophia, “What do you have to say about the testimonies of Mr.Harper and Miss Huff?"

Unperturbed, Sophia replied, “I was in the hotel room at that time, so I think the accusation of Mr.Harper and Miss Huff against me is nothing more than a fabrication.”

She then elaborated, “Two months ago, Mr. Harper was involved in a kidnap case, and I was thevictim. As far as I'm concerned, Mr. Harper is awaiting his trial.”

In an instant, Richard turned dark, for he had forgotten about it.

Seeing the change in Richard's expression, Sophia said coldly, “Mr. Harper, while waiting for the trial,you're limited to live and work in a certain area. If you want to leave that area, you have to getpermission from the relevant government body. Mr. Harper, did you have permission to go to thefilm studio?”

The policeman took a look at Richard, as he didn't expect that the latter was involved in a criminalcase.

Sophia continued, “My lawyer is on his way here, and I'll leave the rest to him.”

With a frown, the policeman completed the statement and left the room.

At that instant, only a few people were left in the interrogation room.

Olivia stood straight up in a fury. “Sophia, I suggest that you admit your crime quickly. There's nouse denying it. Even if you escape unscathed this time, my family and Taylor will never let you off!”Knowing that the police were watching them from somewhere else, Xyla persuaded, “Sophia, you'vecommitted a serious crime. Even if you can leave the police station this time, there's no guaranteethat you won't be convicted in the future. Richard and I saw what happened, so stop denying it.There were other witnesses around that place as well!”

Sophia kept her mouth shut.

Wanting to destroy Sophia, Xyla continued to coax her, saying, “There are security cameras aroundthat place. Even if the police don't trust Richard's testimony, the security footage will be the proof.”However, Sophia remained silent.

Seeing that, Xyla decided to stop persuading her. It was alright if the police didn't trust her, for itwould be enough that the Murrays trusted her.

Even if Sophia could escape imprisonment, there was no way the Murrays would let her off thehook.

Seeing that Sophia wasn't willing to admit her crime, Olivia clenched Michael's sleeve and begged,“Taylor, please say something. James is the only son of the Murray Family, but he's impotent now...Taylor! Taylor!”

Hearing that, Sophia refuted, “Are you saying that Taylor isn't a son of the Murray Family? As long ashe's here, there will still be descendants for the Murray Family!”

Her words infuriated Olivia. “Taylor isn't really a son of the Murray Family!”

Michael raised an eyebrow upon hearing that, but he remained silent.

That's right. The Murrays have always preferred sons to daughters. To the Murrays, the daughtersare not even considered humans, as they are just tools to provide for the Murray Family!

Olivia realized that she said the wrong thing and continued nervously, “Taylor, you know that Jamesis the only son of our generation. Now that he's impotent—"

Finally, Michael said, “Let's wait for the police's judgment.”

Knowing that she had hurt Michael's feelings, Olivia dared not utter a word anymore.

Although the stage name for Michael was Taylor Murray, he wasn't part of the Murray Family.Everyone knew this fact, but it shouldn't be said out so publicly.

A while later, the police came to inform Sophia that she could leave. Meanwhile, it was found outthat Richard was indeed awaiting trial and didn’t have permission to go out. Therefore, the policedemanded that he returned to Bayside City and reported himself at the police station thereimmediately.

Since the case was pending investigation, Olivia and the others had no choice but to leave.

Upon stepping out of the police station, Olivia turned to Sophia and threatened, “B*tch, I won't letyou off. I will take revenge for my brother!”

She then shifted her attention to Michael and continued, “Taylor will see through your true colorsone day!”

Ignoring her, Sophia got into Michael's car and left.

When the car was out of sight, Xyla said hypocritically, “Olivia, what should we do? That b*tch issuch a good liar. Taylor doesn’t seem to trust us.”

Olivia sneered, “I will make Taylor trust me.”

It was very late when they returned to the hotel, but Michael still had to handle some matters.

He wasn't worried about the accusation against Sophia at all. Since James wanted to harm Sophia,he must have made preparations and destroyed all the security cameras around that place.

Even if the police managed to get the footage, they would only see James and a few brawny guysfollowing Sophia and Maria into an alley.

It was Linus who made him feel concerned.

Linus really appeared around that area. However, it was too late when Michael went to look for himas the latter and his entourage had left the place the day before.

Michael was just one step away from the shocking secret, but it was difficult for him to get to it.Lying on the bed, Sophia was still worried. Seeing that Michael was done with the shower, shequestioned anxiously, “Do you really not feel sorry that there will be no more descendants for theMurray Family?”

Michael was drying his hair with a towel as he said, “Not at all. They're not a royal family. So what ifthere are no more descendants?”

“But... James is the only son of their generation. What if they want to get even with me?” Sophiaasked in anxiety.

Nonchalantly, Michael replied, “Don’t worry. Come what may, I will always protect you.”

Sophia felt warmth in her heart upon hearing that.

At that instant, she wanted to make love to Michael, but due to the pain in her backside, shedecided not to do it.

With Michael's promise, she was relieved. Casting away the guilt she felt, she fell into sleep in peace.After drying his hair with an air-dryer in another room, Michael returned and saw that she wasasleep.

Turning off the bedside lamp, he took a seat by the table and started reading his script.Unexpectedly, a yellowish photo of the Fletcher Family taken thirty years ago was inside the script.In the photo, Elizabeth and Theo held one child respectively, while their happiness radiated from thephoto.

Michael whisked across the smiling face of Elizabeth.

Mom is the most beautiful woman in the world, for her beauty was frozen at that moment in thepast.

Naively, he had tried to look for his mother's family members. However, upon getting into contactwith the Murrays, he finally understood why his mother left her parents and got herself killed.

The Murrays had a long tradition of opera singing. However, their business declined, and theybecame poor. As the eldest daughter, Elizabeth had to drop out of school and sing opera elsewhereto put food on the table.

In order to send her brother, Larry Murray, overseas for higher education, the Murrays sent her totake part in erotic movies. Upon getting a massive chunk of money, it was all spent on Larry'soverseas education and improving the family’s living standard.

It wasn't certain whether Elizabeth was just naive or forced to do it at that time, but those eroticmovies became a stain in her life forever.
