Justin and Celine had come to pick Nathan up from school themselves, but they didn’t expect to run into members of the Mitchell Family midway. They weren’t planning to meet them so soon, but Anthony and Mrs. Mitchell’s words were simply too disgusting!
If Justin hadn’t heard them talking about removing his oxygen with his own ears back when he was lying on his sickbed, Celine wouldn’t have dared to believe that there were parents who would do that to their biological children!
While Anthony and Mrs. Mitchell were still completely dumbstruck, Justin came over as he held Nathan’s hand. He gave his parents a very apologetic nod and said, “I’m sorry, Dad and Mom. I’m actually still alive.”
Anthony stuttered, “J-Justin, y-you…”
Anthony trembled all over with rage upon hearing these words. As he felt his blood rushing to his head, he pointed at Justin and Celine angrily with a trembling hand. “Y-You two…”
Celine spoke aggressively, “That’s the way things are—you two can’t take our kid away because he’s one of the Fletchers! Both your son and your grandson are now Fletchers; they’re also protected by the Fletcher Family! You two should keep your mouths shut. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that I won’t tell anyone about your attempt to kill your biological son by taking him off his oxygen!”
Celine hated Phantom Wolf the most. After all, he had forced her family of three to be separated for seven years. The next thing she hated the most were the Mitchells—they had nearly killed Justin by taking him off his oxygen! If Justin hadn’t been lucky enough to hang on until Michael arrived, her currently sober self would only have gotten the news of Justin’s death!
Having finished what they had said, the family of three got back into their car as they didn’t want to get entangled with the Mitchells. This was already the last bit of mercy Justin could show the Mitchell Family. Joel started to chase the Mitchell Family’s men away while Anthony was still in shock over the fact that Justin was still alive. Seeing that he could no longer seek undue advantages on this day, Anthony had no choice but to leave.
After chasing the Mitchell Family’s men away, Joel glanced at Sophia without speaking to her. He turned around, got into the military vehicle, and left with his troops. His main purpose of coming here on this day was to tell the Mitchells that Nathan was one of the Fletchers. The Fletcher Family would not turn a blind eye if the Mitchells ever attempted to snatch Nathan away again!
Having watched the entire drama unfold, Sophia finally came to her senses a little; it was only then did she feel some soreness in her hands.
Celine winked at her from inside the car before driving off first. Michael—who had arrived long ago—stepped out of his car and walked up to Sophia concernedly. His heart ached a lot when he saw her reddened hands, so he quickly put her hands in his and massaged them. He glared at Stanley while he said, “You stupid dog—why didn’t you give Natasha a few slaps on your aunt’s behalf when you saw her beating Natasha up? Look at how her hands have become after the beating…”
Sophia had already finished beating Natasha up when he arrived. Otherwise, he would have given Natasha a few slaps to ease Sophia’s burden. Feeling hurt, Stanley pouted his lips and said, “Alright, just blame me for it!” He was stupefied when Sophia beat Natasha up without hesitation just now. He never wanted to see such a scene again in his life!
After that, Michael carefully led Sophia into the car before driving off. Meanwhile, Stanley curled his lips when he saw Sean picking up something that Natasha had dropped earlier. It was a bracelet.
Patting Sean’s shoulder worriedly, Stanley then asked, “Will you be alright with going back to the Mitchell Residence by yourself? Are they going to give you trouble after seeing that you’re on such good terms with Uncle Michael?”
Sean smiled with perfect composure. “It’s alright. I’m nothing but a useless person in their eyes, so they can’t be bothered to give me trouble.” He was right. In the Mitchell Family, those who weren’t part of Mitchell Group’s core management team or hadn’t made a name for themselves in politics were all useless. For instance, Sean had long been excluded from the Mitchell Family’s core leadership. He was pretty much nonexistent in the Mitchell Family; one would probably learn that he was a member of the Mitchell Family only by noticing the extra tableware set at every meal.
It wasn’t until he had recently brought back news of Cooper being alive bit by bit and pretended to uncover news about Cooper by accident did his family gradually notice his presence.
