Sophia had never met her father, Cooper, but she had spent a lot of time with Woody. She didnât know what kind of a person Cooper was but she knew her grandfather, Woody, pretty well. When Woody saw Sophia, he stopped throwing a tantrum and held her hands.
His eyes turned red from excitement as he yelled, âCoop, youâre back!â Sophia smiled and nodded. âYes, Dad, Iâm back. Iâm not going anywhere.â Hearing this, Woody smiled happily and said, âItâs great that youâre here. Come, meet your godfather!â Then, Woody dragged Sophia toward Mark and said, âMason, my son is back!â
At that instant, Mark finally realized why he felt Sophia was familiar since the first time he met her and he understood why Woody would think that Sophia was his son. It was because she was Cooperâs daughter all along! Pretending to be annoyed, he replied, âI know, I know. Your sonâs back!
Are you happy now?â Woody grinned like a happy child and said, âYes, I am! Iâm happy whenever Coop is by my side!â
With that, he pulled Sophia and sat down in front of Mark before he said, âCome, my son. Write something to show your godfather.â Sophia obediently replied, âOkay, Father. Iâll write it right now.â
Sean already knew that Woody would definitely ask Sophia to demonstrate her writing so he had prepared pen and paper beforehand.
Sophia took the pen and began writing Cooper Mitchellâs name. In order to please the old man, she had deliberately studied Cooperâs writing. Her writing was really outstanding and it looked similar to Cooperâs writing.
It wasnât just similarâit was exactly the same! After she finished, Woody proudly showed her writing to Mark. âMason, look at my sonâs writing. Isnât it beautiful?â Mark glared at him. When Woody was younger, he always brought his son over to boast about him even though he knew clearly that the Fletcher family was full of uncouth military men who didnât really know how to read.
Furthermore, Cooper was outstanding and even though Mark thought that his children and grandchildren were amazing, none of them could compare with Cooper and he couldnât help but envy Woody. However, he wasnât that jealous anymore. Sooner or later, Sophie will be part of the Fletcher family!
Mark took the paper and said admiringly, âItâs beautiful.â Sophia continued to write, making the two old men chuckle happily. Just like that, the atmosphere was harmonious, but a certain someone couldnât stand it and wanted to ruin it.
âOld Master Mitchell, this person is not Cooper. She has ulterior motives!â Natasha suddenly appeared behind Woody and pointed at Sophia. âDonât be fooled by her!â she said rudely.
What a b*tch! I canât believe that she has the ability to actually sneak into the military compound and cheer the two old men up. She even dared to pretend to be Cooper in front of Woody! If I didnât come by today, sheâll probably fool them all!
This was what Sean feared the most. He could no longer pretend to be Cooper in front of Woody and if Woody couldnât find his son, he might hurt himself whenever he had an episode. It wasnât easy for them to calm Woody down. What if he gets provoked by Natasha and goes crazy again?
He hurriedly whispered to Natasha, âNatasha, stop talking. You know the old manâs condition. Having someone who is able to trick him is better than letting him think about his son every day at home until he goes crazy!â
However, Natasha didnât understand Seanâs rationale and she coldly sneered, âHow can this lowly born woman call herself Cooper? If news gets out, people would mock the Mitchell family!â
As she spoke, she gestured to her bodyguard to hold Woody down while she raised her voice to remind him, âOld Master Mitchell, she is not Cooper. Heâs been dead for over a decade. She is just a liar with ulterior motives who is trying to get close to you with malicious intentions.
Donât be fooled by her!â Hearing this, Woody looked at Natasha nervously and held Sophiaâs hand tightly, as if he was afraid that someone might snatch his son away from him. He pulled her behind his back protectively and said, âNo, my son is not dead. My son is standing in front of me right now. You are not allowed to curse him this way!â
Natasha seemed to be acting in earnest but in fact, she was jealous. Why is it that this b*tch can make the two old men happy? Why can she sit in front of the two old masters and chat happily?
The one sitting there should be me! âOld Master Mitchell, take a closer look. Cooper is dead! He has been dead for over ten years now! This woman is a liar!â
Woody waved his hands and said, âI donât believe you. I donât believe you! Coop is not dead! Coop is right next to me. Coop is not dead! Heâs not deadâ¦â Even though Woody said that he didnât believe her, his hoarse voice choked as if he was about to cry.
Although he had dementia, deep down, he knew that his son had passed away long ago and Natashaâs words were slowly pulling him away from his fake happiness into the cruel reality.
Seeing that Woody was about to have a breakdown, a pair of hands suddenly reached over and held Woodyâs hand. Then, a gentle voice patiently said to him, âDad, Iâm right here.
Donât be afraid!â When Woody heard her voice, he burst into tears and sobbed. He held onto Sophia like a helpless child and he mumbled, âCoop, youâre not dead, youâre not deadâ¦â
Sophia held Woody in her arms and stroked his back to calm him down as she said, âIâm not dead. Iâm alive and well. Who said that I was deadâ¦â Woody once again broke into a smile. âEverything is well as long as Coop is not dead.
My darling Coop is still aliveâ¦â While Sophia coaxed Woody, she looked at Natasha, who was standing a few meters away. At that moment, she glared coldly at Natasha, as if it was strong enough to pierce through her soul.
Seeing this, Natashaâs chest heaved in anger. If it werenât for her last trace of sanity and outsiders around, she wouldâve slapped Sophia in the face.
This disgusting, trashy b*tch! I canât believe that she dares to claim to be Cooper and use his name to trick others. She is so shameless! Cooper is the pride of the Mitchell family. Not everyone can pretend to be him!
At this moment, Woody grasped Sophia tightly and accidentally grabbed onto the amulet that was hidden under her clothes.
Natasha immediately saw the black obsidian amulet as it was exposed. In an instant, she immediately knew what happened. No wonder we couldnât find Cooperâs amulet. Turns out that this woman fooled Woody and stole it! That amulet belongs to the Mitchell family and itâs connected to Cooperâs huge fortune.
How dare she covet the Mitchell familyâs belongings? Then, she glanced at Sean before looking at Sophia, who was wearing the amulet. Suddenly, she seemed to have figured it out.
It turns out that Sean and this woman deceived Woody and stole Cooperâs amulet! Seanâs bloodline belongs to Cooperâs old family and they have always been dissatisfied with my father and opposed us.
This group of outsiders secretly hid the amulet! I figured it all out!
