Chapter 360: Chapter 363

Naturally, they couldn’t tell Sean about the fact that they found Cooper’s videos. At that moment, they could only pin their hopes on Stanley. Stanley, who was hungover, had a bewildered look on his face when he was brought to their place and made to watch the video. After he finished watching it, Michael urgently asked, “Do you remember what this man looked like?”

Stanley looked half asleep when he replied, “Uncle Michael, what is this video? Where did you get this video from?”

Michael played the video again and applied pressure on Stanley’s shoulder. In a serious tone, he said, “Stan, do you remember how Nate’s parents died?”

Hearing this, Stanley squeezed his fists and replied, “They were killed by the Phantom Wolf!”

Over the years, many members of the Fletcher family had died at the hands of the Phantom Wolf, and the rows of new graves in the Memorial Garden was the eternal pain in the Fletcher family member’s hearts!

Michael pointed at the blur figure of the Phantom Wolf leader and said, “This is a video of Cooper’s secret meeting with the Phantom Wolf leader more than ten years ago. This man is the second generation Phantom Wolf leader. Back then, you and Sean ran into the room to play. Do you remember this?”

Stanley rubbed his eyes and it was filled with blood vessels as he widened them and carefully watched the video again, trying his best to recall what happened that day.

Without needing Michael to urge him, Stanley watched the video over and over. However, in the end, he said in frustration, “Uncle Michael, I’m sorry but I really can’t remember.”

Both Michael and Abel felt disappointed but it was understandable. After all, Stanley was really young back then. Even if he saw the Phantom Wolf leader, it was more than ten years ago, so it was normal not to remember. Then, Stanley suddenly said, “I’m sure Sean remembers what he looks like. I’ll go and bring him over.”

However, Michael stopped him. “Don’t tell Sean about it for the time being.”

After that, Michael got up to leave. Finding the leader of Phantom Wolf and Cooper was their top priority.

Sooner or later, he would need to find Sean to ask for clues but once he asked Sean, Cooper’s videos would definitely be exposed. When that happens, he would need to explain the source of the videos to Sean and it might arouse suspicions from the Mitchell family. After all, this was connected to a huge asset of two billion. However, all of a sudden, Stanley grabbed Michael’s hand and looked at him with a determined and pleading expression while saying, “Uncle Michael, I know that you have never taken the Fletcher family seriously. Over the years, you have bore too heavy of a burden yourself. Tell me what really happened. I want to help you.”

Michael looked at him and his eyes glistened. Stanley was one of the people he didn’t hate in the Fletcher family.

When Michael and Celine were young, they were ostracized by the other members of the Fletcher family but Stanley’s brother, Caleb, often stood up for them. When Michael was a child, he liked to play computer games and the young Stanley would sit at the side and secretly learn from him. The two of them even often secretly played computer games together. Even though their ages were more than ten years apart, they were close.

Michael turned around and looked at the scenery outside the French window. He could see the horizon, and on the white sandy beach, two people were happily collecting seashells. Sophia’s long, black hair and the corners of her bright red beach dress danced wildly in the night breeze, and the two graceful figures entered Michael’s gaze as he stood behind the French windows. Sophia, who was collecting seashells with Nathan, seemed to have felt Michael’s gaze because she turned around and waved at him happily. Michael waved back at her as well.

After a moment of silence, Michael decided to tell Stanley the truth. “Stan, the Phantom Wolf has their eyes on your Aunt Sophia.”

The Phantom Wolf is eyeing Aunt Sophia?!

Stanley’s eyes instantly widened in shock and he stared at the figure running along the beach in disbelief.

Sophia is being targeted by the Phantom Wolf! Is it because they found out that she’s Michael’s wife?

He felt a sudden shiver down his spine.

Michael took out the old USB from his pocket and said, “Your Aunt Sophia found this USB in Cooper’s bedroom. Find an opportunity to reveal the video to Sean and ask him to recall the Phantom Wolf leader’s identity and appearance. Let me know when it’s done.”

Stanley held the USB and suddenly felt touched. Michael is finally starting to trust me!

After Sophia collected many seashells and caught some fishes, she happily returned to Woody’s house.

Woody was sitting on the shore, drinking his tea. However, most of the time, he was staring at the beach in a daze.

“Dad, look! Nate and I picked up a lot of shells.” Woody, who had a solemn expression a moment ago, immediately smiled when he saw Sophia. “Coop, when you were young, my favorite thing to do was to bring you to the beach!” Hearing this, Sophia chimed in and said, “Yes, my favorite thing to do is to swim in the ocean.”

Woody looked at Sophia’s face and suddenly burst into tears. Then, he grabbed Sophia’s wrists tightly and sobbed as he said, “Coop, I know that you hate me! I’ll never forget the look in your eyes when you saw that girl’s dead body. Coop, I’m terribly sorry.”

Sophia felt distressed. She patted Woody’s back and said softly, “Dad, don’t say that. I understand your actions and I don’t blame you. I really don’t.”

Woody often mumbled about the things that happened back then, so Sohpia had heard about the story of Cooper and his lover more than a dozen times from him. At that time, the elders of the Mitchell family found out about Cooper’s lover and wanted her to completely vanish from the earth. Woody couldn’t force his son to leave her and he couldn’t stop the elders from hurting the girl either, so he could only comprise and make a difficult decision. He had found her, asked her to go far away and faked her death.

Doing so wouldn’t just make Cooper give up, it would also quell the elders’ anger and dissatisfaction.

Cooper was still young at that time so he thought that he would forget about the matter in a short time.

However, unexpectedly, Cooper valued her so much that he didn’t forget her until the day he died. After comforting Woody for a while, he finally stopped crying and Sophia helped him into the house. As soon as she returned to her room, Stanley dragged her into a corner mysteriously. Then, with a distressed expression, he said, “Aunt Sophia, what should I do? Uncle Michael asked me to show this USB to Sean.

I don’t know how to reveal it to him without raising any suspicion…”

Stanley had been worried ever since he received this task from Michael. He had never lied to Sean even once so he really didn’t know how to tell Sean about the USB.

Sophia never thought that Michael would reveal this matter to Stanley. Using her identity as his aunt, Sophia poked his forehead old-fashionably and said, “Why can’t you be brave? Come, I’ll show you how it’s done!”

She already betrayed Sean once so she wasn’t afraid to betray him a second time, but she felt less burdened because she knew she was doing this to help Sean find Cooper. She placed the USB in the safe that looked like a calculator and yelled toward the door, “Judge!”

“Woof?”

Not long after, a dog’s head poked out of the doorway.
