Chapter 1407: Chapter 1412

Cooper replied, “You shouldn’t interfere with adults’ affairs. I know what to do.”

He knows what to do? Perhaps dad really has his own arrangements.

“Then what about mom? Are you going to continue to make her feel wronged?” Sophia hurriedly asked.

It’s like a scene in a romance drama. The male lead has to pair up with the second female lead for many reasons and has to deliberately show affection in front of the female lead, making the female lead feel sad. The two lead characters love each other but they have no choice but to hurt one another.

Right now, Cooper is the male lead, Anna is the female lead, and naturally, the vicious second female lead is Tiffany.

Anna must be really upset right now. I never thought that Cooper would get involved in this sort of thing.

With a smile, Cooper replied, “Darling, you won’t understand how adults do things.”

How could I bear to see the woman I love suffer?

Perhaps Cooper is planning something and doesn’t want to tell me and drag me into it.

After Tiffany came out of confinement, she went back to Europe a few times. Then, she stayed in Bayside City and even settled in the Edwards residence in Riverdale.

There used to be a place Sophia would visit during the holidays, but after Cooper’s return, some members of the Mitchell family started to live there.

Riverdale had developed rapidly over the years and many members of the Mitchell family set up companies there. They used to live in the suburbs which were full of alleys. It was inconvenient for them to get in and out of work, which was why many Mitchell family members moved to the Edwards residence in Riverdale.

Tiffany also moved into Edwards residence recently and she even slept in the room that used to belong to Cooper. Even some of the members in the Mitchell family said that Cooper and Tiffany were about to get married soon. After all, Tiffany had a miscarriage because of Cooper.

The word ‘miscarriage’ seemed to have a power to suggest a beautiful and charming story, as if Cooper had done something to Tiffany. But in reality, he had done nothing of the sort.

Even though Sophia didn’t know what was going on between Cooper and Tiffany, she could tell that Tiffany was confident.

If Tiffany really got together with Cooper, she would make sure that Sophia suffered.

After giving it some thought, Sophia called Anna. She almost never took the initiative to call her, but at that moment, she felt that something must have happened between Anna and Cooper. As their concerned daughter, I must find out what’s going on.

After retrieving Anna’s private number from Cooper’s phone, she soon made the call.

“Hello?”

Hearing Anna’s gentle voice from the other end of the phone, Sophia suddenly felt nervous and didn’t know what to say.

Although she was almost thirty, she still longed for maternal love and wished that she could have a mother that cared for her. However, whenever she faced Anna, she didn’t know how to express her longing and didn’t know how to communicate with her. Sophia used to really like Anna, but then various things had happened that made her feelings for Anna complicated.

She indeed is the perfect mother. Not only is she gentle and kind, but she also has wisdom and ambition that is not inferior to men.

Sophia stayed silent for a long time but Anna could already guess who it was. “Sophia, is that you?”

Sophia briefly replied, “Hi… Mom…”

After dating Cooper, Anna found out that she used to be Annabel. It was the first time Sophia called her ‘mom’. Sophia felt awkward but was also afraid that Anna would think she was rude.

Anna sounded like she was smiling as she replied, “I have something to deal with right now. We’ll talk later.”

She seemed to be really busy and she was walking in a hurry while she was on the phone. Sophia could even hear the short and rapid sounds of her heels clicking on the ground.

As soon as Anna finished talking, she hung up the phone.

After a long silence on the phone, Sophia was still in a daze.

I wanted to tell her that Cooper didn’t betray her… However, Anna seems to not care at all. It seems that they have a bigger plan but Tiffany has already moved into Riverdale. Living in the Edwards residence is definitely not her goal. Her ultimate goal is to slowly move into Cooper’s bedroom in The Imperial, and into his heart. As for Cooper, it seems that his relationship with Tiffany has improved because of the child. Tiffany has even started to visit The Imperial from time to time. Every time she comes, she walks around freely, as if she is the owner of the house.

Tiffany came again that day. They made some good food to entertain their friends to celebrate Plum Technology’s new achievements, but they didn’t expect Tiffany to come. Things got a little awkward and everyone at the table felt uncomfortable, except for Tiffany, of course. She was the most comfortable.

Sitting next to Cooper, she spoke to him lovingly and leaned close to him, just like she used to. Even Stanley, who was usually really chatty and never shut up, was quiet.

Probably because she felt that she had been pregnant with Cooper’s child, she felt closer to him and was even more brazen than before. Tiffany even occasionally wiped Cooper’s lips intimately.

Quinton had also come over that day. During the meal, he looked down at his food as he ate and didn’t look up even once. He didn’t want to take a single look at the disgusting couple.

Quinton planned to leave as soon as he finished dinner, but Carmen suddenly hugged his thigh and refused to let him leave. Seeing this, Quinton chose to stay for the night. His work schedule was really full recently not because he had a lot of classes to teach at the university, but because he spent most of his time working for Bailey.

Unexpectedly, after he finished dinner and went outside to smoke, he heard Tiffany’s voice from behind him.

“I heard that you have been working as Bailey’s bodyguard lately.”

Quinton blew a smoke ring before he turned around to glance at Tiffany. Tiffany knew about his identity.

After hearing her words, Quinton replied with a nod.

When he was a killer, his biggest financiers were owners of big organizations like Tiffany.

Tiffany pulled out a check and said, “Fill in any amount you want. I want you… to kill that kid for me.”

When Tiffany spoke, there was a sinister look on her face. It’s easier to hire one of Bailey’s men to kill him.

However, Quinton didn’t even take a glance at the cheque. He casually blew another smoke ring and said, “Find someone else. I have given up that life. I now teach people and work as a bodyguard for a living. I don’t accept tasks like that anymore.”

Tiffany chuckled and said sarcastically, “Are you telling me that Phantom Wolf, the number one killer in the world, has retired from killing? What a joke.”

Holding a cigarette between his fingers, Quinton took a puff lightly and with a calm expression, he replied, “I’m sure that you already know that the Phantom Wolf is gone. I’m just an ordinary man with an ordinary life now. I don’t kill anymore.”

Tiffany snorted and put the check back into her pocket. “You want to lead an ordinary life? Have you asked the dead souls that you killed?”

Quinton didn’t say anything. Tiffany knew that a killer would always be a killer, and it was impossible for them to stop killing.

She turned around but unexpectedly, before the sarcastic smile on her face disappeared, she heard Quinton’s voice from behind her.

“Miss Tiffany, shouldn’t you ask yourself the same question? The people you have killed are no less than me, but you can still sleep peacefully. You even want to pursue a happy life. Why can’t I?”

Tiffany seemed to dismiss it until she heard Quinton say, “Have you ever dreamt about the couple that was burned alive by a killer you hired every night before you fell asleep? Not only do you have to see them in your dreams, but every day after you wake up, you have to face their 15 year-old son… Tiffany, you’re almost fifty, and your time is running out. I suggest you save your energy to do some yoga, b*tch!”
