Chapter 765: Chapter 768

The reckless Joe, who did not know the situation, tried his best to ingratiate himself with Sam upon seeing him.

“Master Sam, do you recognize me? I’m Faye’s father and Sophia is my daughter too,” Joe said without noticing that a person was silently standing in front of him for some time.

Cooper’s appearance gave him a fright. The man before him was looking at him gloomily, sending shivers down his spine, as he reprimanded, “Who are you? Why are you standing here in a shady manner? What do you want with me?”

Sam let out a cold laugh as he took a step backward.

Now that Cooper returned and Sophia had passed away, Joe had completely lost his purpose.

Joe had been left unharmed because he was always Cooper’s target!

His layers of fat were trembling. He now had an influential identity since his daughter, Faye, was a top-

level celebrity, which made his business become incredibly successful. As a result, he lived a particularly comfortable life, causing him to become so full of himself and thought that he was a bigshot. Upon seeing a man like Cooper in front of him, he reached out his hand and rudely pushed his shoulder. “I’m talking to you! Are you mute? Master Sam, look at this man—is he mute?”

After appraising the man before his eyes, Cooper was left with a pang of sadness. My Anna was raped by this person. She was tainted by him while carrying my child, causing her to live in suffering and despair, and she sacrificed her life in exchange for Sophia’s in the end.

With gritted teeth, he snarled, “Are you Joe? Do you still remember Annabel?”

Annabel? Joe thought for a moment before finally remembering her face and vigilantly glanced at Cooper. His tone dripped with caution as he questioned, “Who are you?”

Cooper inched closer to him. Using a voice only that the two of them could hear, his sinister voice rang by Joe’s ears. “I’m her husband… and Sophia’s biological father.”

Biological father? Joe’s narrow eyes widened in fury. Only then did he understand that he had been cheated for many years. He took three steps backward before pointing at Cooper’s nose and reprimanded, “It turns out that you are that b*tch lover… Y-You guys have been cheating me all these years!” It turns out that Sophia is not my biological child! She actually cheated me out of my shares!

Joe was enraged to the point where his layers of fat continued to tremble. In a fit of fury, he pointed at Cooper and mindlessly scolded him. “I will sue you guys in court! You guys—” Hang on, he thought. This might be a scheme. If this matter escalates to court and it’s proven that I’m not related to Sophia, how am I going to get Sophia’s inheritance? How am I going to get Villa No. 8? This man must be scheming for that property.

Upon having such thoughts, Joe swallowed his anger and laughed in a sinister manner. “Haha, you guys are using this opportunity to claim your relationship with her to lay your hands on my daughter and son-

in-law’s house! Tsk, in your dreams!”

He had an arrogant attitude—as if the house was already his.

“As long as I am alive, this house and my daughter’s inheritance will be mine sooner or later. Don’t you even think about it!”

Cooper scoffed without saying anything. He would allow Joe to live for a couple more hours as he had to attend to other matters today.

He then turned to notice that Linus’ car had arrived, so he entered the car with Sophia and left.

Upon looking at the departing car, Sam patted Joe’s shoulder and uttered, “Mr. Edwards, be careful and good luck.”

However, Joe had nothing to fear. Now that my daughter is a top-tiered celebrity with a strong influence, not only in Cethos but in the whole world, I don’t have to be afraid of anyone!

Sam brought his dog and left too.

Stanley, who was standing next to Michael, was puzzled and asked, “What did Uncle Cooper say to that b*stard, Joe, earlier?”

Michael had an enigmatic smile on his face. “Perhaps it is something that fathers talk among themselves.”

Since Cooper, the biological father, had returned, it was time for Joe, the fake parent, to take his leave.

Michael suddenly strode away and soon left in his car.

Stanley and Sean, who had no idea what transpired, left one after another as well.

Harry came out to kick the West and Edwards Families out. Since it was still Sarah’s family, he would have felt slightly bad if he were to take action himself. Thankfully, Victoria had offended Cooper and as a result, Harry was able to get rid of the toxic family members from their lives.

Michael was heading toward the cosmetic hospital as well. On the way, he made a call. “Justin.”

The man on the other side of the phone remained silent for a moment before answering, “Yes.”

Three years ago, since Celine was sent to the military’s special facility for treatment, Justin had been by her side.

Unfortunately, the three years went by with little success. If they wanted to save Celine, they had to kill her. Otherwise, with both Katrina and Celine sharing the same body, the former would not be completely eliminated.

She was just like a time bomb—and the detonator was in Phantom Wolf’s hands. If the Phantom Wolf pressed on the detonator, the bomb—Celine—would explode, triggering immeasurable consequences.

Michael and Justin, who was on the other side of the phone, were silent for a long time before the former asked, “You were the one who conducted the comparison of chica’s DNA at that time. Tell me about the details back then.”

Justin, who had no idea why this question was being asked, answered, “The bones that we brought back were damaged due to the high temperature. Combined with the lack of an appropriate condition and equipment to properly store the evidence, it caused the DNA collected to be destroyed. The DNA that I used was collected from the clothes with blood stains. After conducting the comparison, it matched Sophia’s DNA perfectly.”

Everything happened at a fast rate at that time. Sophia became a pot of broth that was boiled at a high temperature, which caused the collected DNA to become unusable. Therefore, Justin had no choice but to use the one from the clothes with blood stains to conduct the test.

However, DNA verification was not foolproof and could often be wrong.

After Justin gave his answer, Michael did not give a response for an extremely long time.

After some time, Michael’s voice was finally heard from the other side with a sobbing yet surprised tone.

“Chica, she… isn’t dead… She has returned. She was brainwashed by Phantom Wolf and has forgotten about everything!”

Upon hearing that, Justin fell into a shock that lasted for a long time.

The Xavion Cosmetic Hospital’s scar removal technique was one of the top 10 methods in the whole world—they had plenty of precedents and the hall was constantly packed with people who came from all over the world to seek help.

Displayed in the hall were all the successful cases performed by the doctors—including a case of a facial burn on the whole face that had perfectly recovered. The patient with burns on his whole face was called Justin Mitchell.

Currently, in the hospital’s director’s office, the director was slowly removing the bandage on the face of the woman before him, as if he was lifting precious treasure with full expectations.

The large group of doctors gathered around them as well, as if they faced extreme danger.

It had been a long time since the hospital accepted a patient with such severe injuries—the previous one was Justin.

A few years ago, they accepted Justin’s case and managed to repair his face, creating a miracle.

However, he had to pay a price, which was that his facial muscles stiffened due to the large number of surgeries he had undergone, which looked similar to that of those celebrities who had excessive plastic surgeries.

After so many years, the scar removal technique had improved and everyone wondered whether they could create another miracle again.

Everyone including Cooper and Linus present at the scene focused their attention on Sophia’s face.

Nobody noticed a doctor with white hair silently standing at one side while reading her case.
