My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 319

Abel found it amusing to know that Sophia was actually one of the Mitchell Family. No wonder he had always had this familiar feeling every time he saw her. That must have been the reason why Nathan thought she stood out from many others back then.

Abel had also gathered some information and videos on Cooper’s car accident. Back when Cooper was appointed as the patriarch of the family, an internal strife within the family started brewing. In the end, Cooper managed to subdue the conflict by adopting a hardball tactic.

Still, many secretly held grudges against him. After all, the Mitchell Family was a prestigious family that had survived for more than a century. How could they have allowed a young lad in his twenties to become their patriarch?

Although Cooper was way more talented and competent than anyone else in the family and despite the multiple occasions he had saved them, there were some who were still eager to get rid of him. That must have been the reason that brought about the family’s downfall!

Many were saddened to hear of the demise of a talent of the Mitchell Family. Ever since Woody learnt about his death, he had become a shadow of his old self.

It was only now that they found out the body inside the coffin was not Cooper. There were two possible explanations—the first was that he might already be dead but his body was taken away by somebody. The second was that he might still be alive and everything was just part of his runaway plan. Abel and Michael thought the second scenario was more likely.

After studying the information on Cooper’s death thoroughly, Micheal learnt that Cooper had decided to leave all his wealth in the family’s public fund and also to provide for his father’s living expenses. It was puzzling that he did not take even a dime of his wealth which he had fought so hard for.

When the car accident took place, Woody was already over eighty years old. At that age, he was supposed to lead a carefree and relaxed life but Cooper’s car accident came as a huge blow to him. Because of that, the old man was later diagnosed with dementia and he had no choice but surrender his power in the family to others.

What could have convinced Cooper to give up his immense wealth and leave his aging father behind? What made him become so cold-hearted? Where had he been over the past decades? Was he still alive? Did he know he had a daughter? Michael’s head was filled with questions.

Cooper was not the only one in the family that had pulled off something like this. Justin also became so disheartened with his family that he decided to stage a fake death.

However, what made him different from Cooper was that he left without having to worry about anything—his departure would not affect his family too much because he was not the only son. Also, Nathan had Michael to take care of him.

As for Cooper, he was Woody’s only son, so why did he do something so cruel? Would he still continue to hide even after knowing that his father had suffered from dementia because of him?

After studying the materials, Abel sighed. “After Cooper faked his death, he had severed all his ties with the Mitchell Family completely and his plan was airtight. He really needed to be extremely cruel and heartless to be able to pull off something like that. Did he not care about anything?”

Although Justin had done the same thing, he was not without worries because he had left his son, Nathan, behind.

There was no secret that couldn’t be revealed. As the patriarch of the Mitchell Family, his fake death would be something very significant and its consequence would implicate many. How did he actually ensure his plan to be so infallible that no one had ever found out there was something fishy with his death even after so many years? No one would ever find out his secret if it wasn’t for his daughter, Sophia, and his helpful son-in-law, Michael.

“I’m sure a man like Cooper would remain an outstanding man even though he might have adopted a new identity.” Reading the materials in his hands, Michael spotted a photo of Cooper taken when he was twenty-eight.
