Upon seeing the scene before her, Sophia frowned.
In embarrassment, Stanley hugged Carmen with an awkward smile. “Hehe… hehe… This is my uncle’s daughter.”
Sean felt embarrassed as well when Cooper explained the situation with a long face.
Sophia was stunned when she was told about the truth. Carmen is actually not their daughter which they picked up from the rubbish bin!
Of course, her blind date with Stanley would never progress further.
“Let’s go,” Cooper said to Sophia.
Since the host would be leaving soon, it would be inconvenient for the guests to stay. Cooper was back, so there would be more chances for them to meet again anyway.
Upon looking at Cooper’s daughter, who was treasured by him, Sean had a lump in his throat. If only Sophia is still alive…
On the other hand, Stanley kept staring at Lucile when he noticed that Judge and Corrado obediently followed her as if they had known her for a long time. “Hmm, these dogs are acting weird…”
Corrado, who had always been cold toward people, was never amiable to anyone. It was the first time today that he became close to someone whom he met for the first time.
Linus’ car was already parked outside as the group of people exited the house. When Linus saw Stanley and Sean leaving with Carmen, he finally poked his head out from the driver’s seat and greeted, “Long time no see.”
Upon noticing Linus, Stanley proudly turned his head away while Sean returned the greeting.
Linus had once partnered with Phantom Wolf. Years ago, when Michael tried to seek Linus’ cooperation to save Sophia, he was unable to contact the latter.
Stanley had suspected that Linus intentionally did that—up until now.
If they had been able to contact Linus at that time, perhaps they would have been able to find Cooper. Cooper would have been able to meet his daughter, Sophia, and she would not…
Knowing about Stanley’s resentment toward him, Linus did not press further.
When they exited their house, they saw the Edwards and West Families making a scene outside—they bawled, scolded and begged for forgiveness. However, if Sarah and Harry continued to refuse to come out, the situation could escalate even further.
As the 9th Old Master Edwards, Sam had long known about the incident that involved the West and minor Edwards Families. Although he did not know what happened in the middle, all he knew was that Cooper took action.
Since it was Cooper, he must have had his reasons for doing so. Although Sam did not ask or intervene, as the 9th Old Master Edwards, he needed to step forward and take a look at the commotion.
Upon seeing Sam, someone from the minor Edwards Family, who had gone bankrupt, swarmed around him as if they saw their savior.
Sophia knew what the commotion was all about—she had known earlier that Cooper attacked the Edwards and West Families during that period of time, but the face that was hidden underneath the bandage was cold and indifferent.
“Darling, let’s go,” Cooper reminded again.
However, she suddenly answered, “Dad, I would like to watch the commotion.”
Upon looking at her, he had a feeling that his obedient child was different from the child she had been a few days ago. Yet, he had no choice but to accompany her to watch the show.
They then headed in the direction of Villa No. 6. Sean and Stanley quickly followed behind them to see what all the fuss was about.
Meanwhile, Michael, who was outside walking the dog and looking for his daughter, immediately spotted Stanley, who carried Carmen in his arms. A smile instantly appeared on Michael’s cold face.
