Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 439

Liliana froze.

The baby was only three months old. She couldn't talk yet, only make a few vague sounds.

But the syllables Amelia had just babbled sounded a lot like… Dada?

Liliana lowered her gaze, her eyes flickering as a small smile played on her lips.

Just a coincidence.

No one had taught her to say Dada.

How could she?

When Gabriel Hart returned, he saw Linton walking out.

He frowned. "It's almost lunchtime. You're heading out now?"

Linton's face was grim, and his clear voice was hoarse. "Yeah."

"Gabriel, thank you for everything. I'm leaving the Hart estate."

Gabriel Hart was taken aback.

He glanced at Linton and said coldly, "Did you and Liliana fight again?"

Linton forced a bitter smile. "I wouldn't dare."

"I just don't want to be an eyesore for her."

Gabriel understood.

His eyes glinted, his expression impassive.

So his precious little sister had been taking her frustrations out on Linton.

…Fine.

Gabriel didn't dwell on it. He simply reminded him, "Amelia's party is in a week. Make sure you come back for it."

Lucas Grant, who was back from his New Year's holiday and busy again, happened to call with a work update.

"Mr. Cooper, we have news from the police. The Nightfall brothers were executed after the new year."

"Isabella Rowe has been transferred to a women's prison to serve her sentence. We've dealt with most of your grandfather's people, but he's quite cunning and is still on the run."

A sharp light flared in Linton's dark eyes. "A sly fox always has more than one hole to hide in," he said grimly. "That old man probably has countless tricks up his sleeve."

"Contact the police. Submit all evidence of his crimes and report him so they can issue an international arrest warrant. Have everyone at the company cooperate with the investigation and provide whatever assistance is needed to bring Damian Cooper to justice as quickly as possible."

Lucas was shocked. "Mr. Cooper… are you really going to turn on your own family?"

"Based on the evidence you've collected, if he's caught, his fate will likely be the same as the Nightfall brothers'. In that case…"

Lucas didn't dare finish the sentence.

Linton's handsome face was cold, and his voice was laced with a weary fury. "Everyone has to pay a price for their actions, don't they?"

Just like him. He had failed the girl he loved, and now he had to spend the rest of his life atoning for it.
