As soon as the amulet was revealed, Sean was instantly annoyed. He had wanted to hide the amulet with Sophia so that the Mitchells wouldn’t discover it, but it wasn’t the case anymore! Earlier when he arrived, he had already reminded Sophia not to show up because he was afraid that Natasha would find out that she had the amulet.
“You…” Natasha muttered, her face pale from anger after she had seen through Sean’s conspiracy. Pointing a finger at him, she shouted fiercely, “Sean, you colluded with outsiders to steal the inheritance belonging to the Mitchells. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?”
Alex had used a duplicate of the amulet for verification in Kuwait, but it didn’t pass the test so he couldn’t retrieve that property at all. All this while, they always thought that it was because the bank had discovered that the amulet was a fake.
With the real amulet, that treasure could be retrieved! In order to find the real amulet, everyone from the Mitchells racked their brains trying to come up with ideas, but they never imagined that it was Sean who had colluded with others to take the real thing away from them!
Also, it belongs to Grandpa and he can give it to whoever he likes! I know what you guys are planning with the amulet, but I’ll have you know right now that you can’t get Uncle Cooper’s properties with just this amulet, so you can give up on the idea! Have you deciphered the thousand-digit code?
After his death, his private properties were divided by the Mitchells, but you know fair well how much actually ended up in the public account!
When he was alive, Uncle Cooper dedicated his life to the Mitchells and now he can’t even keep any of his personal items after death! The Mitchells are the ones who should be ashamed!”
Hearing Sean’s speech, Natasha glared at him and couldn’t find the words to talk back. Finally, she straightened her neck and said in a weird tone, “No matter how the Mitchells are, it’s not up to a disgusting sissy like you to comment!”
“A sissy?” Stanley repeated, clearly unhappy with Sean being insulted. He came forward and placed his wide body in front of her, his thick eyebrows shooting upward. “How dare you call Sean a sissy! Believe it or not, I could get him to give you a punch to show you if he’s a sissy!”
Even though her eyes were turning red from all the glaring, there was nothing she could do. Things are turning from bad to worse, she thought. The Mitchells and Fletchers have been friends for decades, but if this goes on, it will definitely get awkward for both families.
At this moment, a voice interjected, “Alright, that’s enough!” It was Sophia who had spoken and she tried to make herself sound more like Cooper as she said, “This amulet belongs to me, Cooper. I’m the one who decides its fate!”
Besides pretending to be Woody’s son in front of him on purpose, she was also trying to act like Cooper in front of Natasha. However, Natasha chuckled and snorted. “You’re Cooper? That’s a joke! A cheap, uncivilized person like you can never be Cooper! My advice to you is to hand over the amulet immediately, otherwise I’ll make you regret it!”
Judging from the situation, it seemed like the Mitchells still didn’t know that the properties had already been taken away by another. To them, this amulet was akin to Cooper’s cosmic inheritance; the real estate from ten years ago must have risen so much more in its value now! Even if things turned ugly, she had to get that amulet today!
Sophia knew that she shouldn’t have turned up today and if she did, there would be tons of trouble after that. Now that they knew about the amulet, there would be more trouble coming up. Nevertheless, she didn’t regret it, but she didn’t dare to reveal her true identity.
Still, she had a question for the Mitchells on behalf of Cooper. “Did I owe the Mitchells anything? Is there a need to mobilize so many people over a small amulet? Didn’t I give the Mitchells enough?”
Looking at her in disbelief, Natasha fumed, How dare this swindler act so arrogant and speak to me in this manner on such an occasion!
She is absolutely shameless! “You—” Crushed by Sophia’s imposing manner, Natasha’s face had splotches of red as she retreated a couple of steps and gritted her teeth while saying, “Cooper was a part of the Mitchells, so everything which belonged to him belongs to the Mitchells after his death!”
