My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1066

Sophia read through the materials seriously. Both husband and wife analyzed the data together, and Justin joined them too.

Michael soon finished reading through the information Sophia had gathered. Sophia also shared the results of her investigation with him. After considering it for a moment, he concluded, “The results from your investigation are suspicious indeed. Although the villagers personally witnessed what happened back then, they all saw things from a different perspective. Moreover, too much time has passed. People would subjectively change what they say, so this information might not be true.

Just like how Sam fooled you last time by saying that he took over the Crimson House for your mother… If anyone among the villagers of the Johnson Family Village were to lie to receive the money… the rest will follow that person’s lead and weave their stories around the lie.” He used a red pen to strike through most of the information provided by the villagers. “From mother-in-law’s diary, we can confirm that she did not study past primary school. So, those who claimed that she dropped out of middle school are unreliable. With that, we can filter out many of these testimonies.”

Sophia was overwhelmed by the onslaught of information she read through today. Therefore, she simply watched as Michael analyzed the testimonies, little by little, and looked for clues. Occasionally, Justin would also help to cross out useless or confusing clues with a red pen. The truth behind the testimonies was unclear. It was possible that by rejecting the falsified parts of the testimony, they would accidentally cross out the truth hidden in them too.

Sophia immediately interrupted. “Mom never went to middle school. So, he must be lying. And, there may never have been a hooked-nosed man!”

However, Justin immediately retorted, “I investigated him before. When Annabel was in primary school, this middle school teacher was still teaching at the primary school. She was also the best student in his class. I think too much time has passed, and he forgot some of the details. So, the part about her meeting the hooked-nosed man at the noodle restaurant remains uncertain.”

Then, she fell silent and watched the two men analyze the information. What they were sure of, they would highlight blue; what they could discern as false, they highlighted red; and what remained uncertain, they highlighted green. In the end, they basically confirmed that Annabel was a bright student. Unfortunately, she dropped out of primary school to work. Moreover, she did all sorts of jobs before working at the noodle shop owned by her primary school teacher. Later, she received a recommendation and went to the city to work on her own. All the clues they couldn’t be certain about were linked to that hooked-nosed man.

After they finished discussing the hooked-nosed man, Michael talked about what happened today. “Your current mother is very good at acting. Her disguise is perfect, and the plastic surgery on her face was done very naturally. However, I’ve been dealing with actors and people with facelifts for a long time now. I can tell with a glance that her face has been surgically reconstructed before. Everything is fake. As for whether or not she is genuinely your mother, it can be verified with a DNA test. But, I believe your father has already done that in secret. When I slapped her today, I took a closer look at her face. The surgery she did was rather major, but I couldn’t find any traces of it. She probably removed her face entirely and underwent a complete facelift before reattaching her facial skin. Your father has been acting too. He probably knew from the start that she was a fake.”

She had originally guessed that her mother was a fake. Cooper might have failed to notice it immediately since it had been decades since he last saw the real Annabel. However, she did not expect that he had been acting all this while. Perhaps, he already knew the moment she appeared. He was faced with a woman pretending to be the love of his life, yet he had to force a smile for such a long while. How furious must he be inside? After all, he could not stand for anybody desecrating his beloved Anna!

“In conclusion, something must have been going on behind the scenes back then. My father is pretending right now so that he can draw the people behind this conspiracy out of the shadows. Perhaps, it’s the hooked-nosed man from back then!” Sophia tried analyzing the information too.

However, Michael shook his head and said mysteriously, “Perhaps. But, that’s not the only thing he’s thinking about.”

As for what it was that his father-in-law had in mind, he didn’t dare to make a guess either. Still, he was certain the reason the mastermind sent this imposter to their side was to drive a wedge between Michael and Cooper. They might have disliked each other in private, but to outsiders, they were a unit with shared interests. Hence, Cooper and Michael’s cooperation more or less meant that Cooper was affiliated with the Fletcher Family, Asco International, and the Winston Family.
