There was a time that the Wilson family experienced a problem. They were being suppressed by a family in the capital, to the extent that Marion was nearly kidnapped.
Of course, Marion had already escaped from the capital, and just happened to have gone to Brenton city. It was during that time, when she had been surrounded, the two bodyguards that she had killed, that Michael appeared.
It was quite coincidental, and Michael might not have involved himself in this matter if not for some of those guys who wanted to kidnap Marion forcing him to act.
After he dealt with those kidnappers, it was then that he realized that Marion was his cousin.
It was not much of a problem for Michael to be able to deal with the Laito family through Vanguard corporation.
