While searching, Sean found a name that caught him off guard: Phantom Wolf. When he saw this, he subconsciously looked at Stanley, who was playing with his dog in the distance. Then, he clicked on the video and frowned hard as he watched it.
Although Sophia and Stanley looked like they were playing with the dog, they had been secretly paying attention to Sean, so they saw him find Cooper’s USB and watched the video inside that was decoded by Sophia.
Stanley was still trying to figure out how to pretend to have discovered the video and ask Sean to recall the Phantom Wolf’s appearance when he suddenly saw Sean stand up and wave at him. “Stan, Sophia, hurry over. I have something to show you…”
Stanley was startled by this. Even though he knew what Sean wanted to show him, and even though he knew that Sean would definitely show it to him when he found out, he felt touched when it really happened…
At that time, they were only five or six years old. Sean liked to run over to the military compound to play with Stanley, and Stanley liked to go over to the Mitchell’s to play with Sean. Cooper had many guests so they didn’t really pay attention, and it was unlikely that they would remember a person they only saw once. With that, they found themselves at a dead end. Stanley watched the video once again and frowned in frustration.
Seeing this, Sean apologetically said, “I’m sorry, Stan. I’ll go and ask the others after I go back. Perhaps there might be someone who remembers him.”
That was all they could do for the time being.
This discovery changed everyone’s vacation plans. After three days of playing by the beach, they all went home one after another. Sean wanted to head back to ask about the Phantom Wolf leader’s whereabouts, and Michael was eager to return to Bayside City. He had watched Cooper’s video about the 100 million that he hid and heard that he gave the other half of his amulet to his lover, who was also Sophia’s mother, Annabel Johnson. Michael figured that he might find something among Annabel’s relics.
The driver drove them back home and Sophia was dozing all the way. When they reached the entrance of the residential area, the car stopped to allow the guards to scan their faces to confirm their identities. As soon as the windows were rolled down, the security captain at the entrance said to Michael, “Boss, people from the Edwards family have been waiting at the door for Miss Edwards for the past two days.”
Michael had his sunglasses on and he said impatiently, “Is it Joe Edwards again? Get them out of here.”
Hearing this, the security captain seemed to be uneasy and he said, “It’s not Joe Edwards, but an old nanny. She said that she was a friend of Miss Edwards’s mother back then and she has something to hand to Miss Edwards. She insisted on handing it to Miss Edwards herself and has been waiting for two days in a row. I suspect she’ll be coming by again in a while.”
Michael frowned and glanced at Sophia, who was still dozing, before he said, “If she drops by again today, call Miss Edwards and let her know.”
With that, the car drove into the residential area. After they got home, Sophia yawned and slumped against Michael, as if there were no bones in her body, acting like a spoiled child. “Hubby, I’m so tired that I can’t walk anymore.”
Michael immediately lifted her up and carried her in his arms. “I’ll carry you in.”
