The smile on the imposterâs face was wiped off when she heard what Cooper had said. Thereâs no way he has found out about this! Iâve prepared for this mission for more than ten years, and Iâve left no traces behind. Even if theyâve figured out that I had sent a message to Ronney City, thereâs no wayâ¦
Cooper never answered her question and left with Linus in a hurry. After they took a turn, Lucky ran to them as it wagged its tail. Delighted, Linus stroked the dogâs head.
In fact, the moment the imposter appeared, Cooper had figured out most of the things, but what he needed was the exact location. The imposterâs plan was impeccable, and she was backed by a powerful force. If Cooper pressed on, his enemies would be alerted. Therefore, he chose to be patient until this day and eventually found out the location.
Of course, Luckyâs death was faked. Cooper bought a chunk of pork and claimed that it was Luckyâs flesh so that Linus and him could pretend to fall out. During this period of time, Lucky had been staying with Sophia because she had pets herself, so she would always give proper food to the animals.
Therefore, Lucky had been eating the same food as her orange cats. Now that the imposter was busted, Lucky could go back to its owner. Linus was joyful that his dog had grown fatter.
Equally jolly, Cooper put on a bright smile. The real Annabel is in Ronney City. Anna, Iâm going to meet you!

In the study, the imposter gritted her teeth and tried to get up, even though she was soaked in blood. Cooper will never kill me because I know a secret heâs dying to find out!
Seeing this, Sophia strode forward and gave her a forceful slap. With red finger marks on her face, the imposter glared at Sophia, who then landed another slap on her face.
âThese two slaps are for my daughter. After this, you shall go to hell!â Sophia growled.
Since her identity had been exposed, the imposter, whose face was identical to Annabel, put on a hideous expression and spat out some blood. Leaning against the desk, she raised her chin in a haughty manner.
âDoes your dad really want to kill me? Haha. I know a secret heâs desperate to find out. I want him to kneel before me and beg me to tell him about this!â Now that her blood was still streaming out from the wounds caused by gunshots, her voice had weakened.
After Cooper shot her a few times with his pistol, he directly turned to leave because there was no way she could survive. If it werenât because he had to take revenge for his kids, he wouldnât even talk to a petty person like her.
However, Sophia wouldnât let this revolting woman die so easily. This woman still thinks that my dad is reluctant to kill her. She falsely believes that her death will mean a loss to my dad, so sheâs acting in an arrogant manner now. I have to make sure sheâll die with regrets and embarrassment, Sophia thought.
With her arms crossed, Sophia paced around and said in a derisive tone, âYou had successfully fooled me with your impeccable acting skill and disguise because I had never met my mother before. It took me a long time to figure out that youâre just an imposter.â
The imposter arched her brow haughtily.
âButâ¦â All of a sudden, Sophia raised her voice and said in a confident way, âMy dad had seen through your disguise, but he chose to play along with you. Do you know why?â
The imposter snorted. Blood had formed a puddle around her. She was waiting for Cooper to appear at the door because she didnât believe that he would let her die. Doesnât he want to know Annabelâs whereabouts?
Seeing through her intentions, Sophia said in an impassive manner, âStop looking. My dad wonât come because he has already found out what he wants to know, so youâre basically useless to us now. The reason Iâm still talking to you is only because I donât want to let you die so easily.â
Naturally, the imposter didnât believe her. Since she approached Cooper, she had been very careful with her actions and never contacted her master. With such an impeccable plan in place, there was no way Cooper could have found out anything.
Sophia then went on to break this harsh truth to her. âYour imitation of my mother was perfect. Even my dad thought that you were her for a moment. However, your biggest mistake was that your imitation was too perfect.â
Lowering her body, Sophia pinched the imposterâs chin and examined her face, which was being gradually drained of blood. If it werenât for the fact that the imposter was such a devious woman, she was the perfect exemplification of the kind of woman Sophia imagined her mother to be. Observing the imposterâs manner of speaking and posture, for a moment, Sophia thought that her mother was just like that.
âIf you wanted to imitate my mother perfectly, there was no way you could do this by just taking a brief look at her. So, you must have either been living with her, or you have been observing her behavior for a long time. Your appearance proves that my mother is still alive. Youâre a well-trained secret agent, so thereâs no use going hard on you. Thatâs why we decided to play along and get more information out of you when you became complacent.â
Hearing this, the imposter appeared to be slightly flustered, for she didnât expect that there was such a huge flaw in her seemingly impeccable plan. Unresigned, she gnashed her teeth and snarled, âSo what if youâve found out about this? You can never locate her!â
Sophia guffawed. âIt was just a guess. Now youâve confirmed it for us!â
The imposter gulped, for she didnât expect that she had fallen into her trap. Then, she laughed hysterically and raised her chin to face Sophia so that she wouldnât appear to be weak. âYes, your mother is still alive, but itâs pointless for Cooper to look for her. Heâs loyal to Annabel, but she doesnât love him at all! Just like myself, Annabel is just a tool that was used to go against Cooper! When he gets to the truth one day, heâll realize that Annabel is nothing more than a devious and lowly woman. By then, you and your brother will end up like the baby in my belly! Cooper dotes on the two of you because youâre Annabelâs kids. If he figures out that sheâs been making use of him, heâll kill the two of you. You and your brother are the most pitiful people on earth because youâre mere tools for Annabel to threaten Cooper. If it werenât because there was a change of plan, both of you wouldââ
âShut up!â Enraged, Sophia pounced on her and clenched her neck. If it werenât for the fact that she was a frail woman, she would have already broken her neck on the spot. âI will never allow you to defame my mother! You donât even deserve to mention her name!â
Seeing that Sophia had lost control, Michael grabbed her wrists and pulled her away. âSophia, restrain yourself. We have to keep her alive!â
After Sophia was lugged away, she kept kicking in the air and snarled, âB*tch! I will kill you!â
Seeing how discomfited Sophia was, the imposter laughed arrogantly. In spite of her weakened voice, she said in an insolent manner, âSophia, do you get it now? Cooper is the cruelest man in the world. He could fake his death and abandon his father for so many years, and he could kill my child in an unfeeling manner. So, he will also kill you and your brother coldly. Both of you are pathetic!â
