My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1342

While Christine was left baffled by that family, Tawny’s father received a call from a prestigious elderly from the Bishop Family. He had prestige because he held a public office position in their county. Despite it being a small role, to them, he was equivalent to a high-ranking official to whom they had to bow down.

Without warning, the small-time public officer started to shout over the phone. “What on earth did you guys do in Bayside City? The county magistrate came to ask me personally today. He said you’ve offended a high-ranking official. You’re all done for!”

After that, several more phone calls came.

“Your son’s admittance into the top class was nullified. There’s not enough space. We’ve reached the maximum quota.”

“Mr. Bishop, can you find some time to move out of the public housing? The authorities found a house under your name. You don’t qualify to live in public housing anymore!”

“I’m sorry to inform you, Mr. Evans, but your son’s performance at work is very poor, so the company has fired him.”

It was at that moment that the Bishops and the Evans felt afraid. The series of events was enough to make them see their world crumble before their eyes. One after the other, they were urging Christine to call Maddie and have her remedy the situation.

Upon returning to The Imperial, Cooper was still in a sullen mood. “That’s enough, Dad. Don’t brood over this. Those people don’t know much about the world. They don’t understand how it works!” Sophia appeased.

Once she was done with Cooper, she was busy trying to placate Linus. She was worried that they might act rashly. At this crucial point when Jordan was watching over them like a hawk, they could not afford a slip-up.

If it were up to Cooper, he would have made mincemeat out of the Bishops by now.

When Michael came to know about the situation, he quickly rushed home from his filming site. The matter was settled; Joel was going to bring some gifts over to apologize to Cooper the next day.

Cooper also suppressed his anger for the sake of Michael and Joel. Since it was not a big issue, he did not want to complicate things further.

Both Joel and Maddie also called to apologize; Cooper accepted it and the problem was resolved. After all, Joel was the head of the Fletcher Family now.

Even though Cooper lost his temper over petty things sometimes, most of the time, he was quite magnanimous.

Thus, the matter was simply going to blow over.

When Sophia arrived at work the next day, however, she saw everyone huddled together to watch the news.

“Oh my god! That’s so cruel!”

“I can’t watch anymore!”

“How can something so gruesome happen in Bayside City?”

Taking out her phone, Sophia saw that a headline was being circulated in the news media. A 21-year-old foreign man with the last name Bishop was found dead at a guest house. His body was dismembered into twenty to thirty pieces that it was impossible to piece him back together. According to investigations, Bishop was the cousin of the popular young lady, Christine Bishop!

Christine’s cousin!

A shadow flashed before Sophia’s eyes. This person called Bishop can’t be the same person I kicked in the face yesterday, can it?

Unfortunately, all the pictures on the internet were covered with a mosaic so the person was not identifiable.

She hurriedly gave Maddie a call and found out that the deceased person was indeed Clive!

When Sophia arrived at the scene soon after, she saw police officers surrounding the whole guest house with police cordons put up everywhere. The crowd of bystanders that had gathered and reporters who were trying to conduct interviews were all held off.

The forensics team was already in the guest house inspecting the scene.
