My Dreamy Old Husband

Vincent stared at Sophia dazedly for about ten minutes; his surprise and bewilderment grew as he shifted his gaze multiple times between her and Linus.

He was well aware of Sophia’s background since he and Sophia were in the same grade at Bayside University. He knew that she was Cooper’s daughter and that she grew up in Riverdale as a child; he also knew that she became who she was today because her uncle had sold her to Joe, who then sold her to Michael.

Sophia took off her sunglasses and asked impatiently, “Didn’t you say that the car had some issues, Mr. Mitchell? What exactly is the problem with the car?”

Still being in a complete daze, Vincent stared at Sophia in shock and disbelief. He turned and asked, “Linus, where is Lucile?”

As Vincent’s face froze completely, some muscles on his handsome face twitched slightly. He looked at Sophia and Linus with a look of shock in his eyes.

Still refusing to believe this, he waved his hand repeatedly. “This is impossible. This can’t be true; she’s Scarlett, Cooper’s daughter.”

The truth would be too horrifying if Sophia was indeed Lucile. The scheme behind the sports car that cost 100 million and the competition for the agency’s contract would be more sophisticated than one could ever imagine!

Sophia frowned, but she unknitted her brows soon after that. She folded her arms across her chest and said, “Mr. Mitchell, you don’t really think that my father has been mining coal in Africa all these years, do you?”

Vincent suddenly recalled that Cooper had shown up and told them about mining in Africa back when Woody passed away.

Since he talked about mining, Mark assumed that he was mining coal. As word about this spread like wildfire among the Mitchell Family, the story became one about Cooper being trafficked to a coal pit to mine coal for 20 years. Vincent was also present at the time, and he recalled what Cooper had said back then about him mining in Africa.

The Michel Family had been mining in Africa as well; what their family mined was not coal, but underground diamonds and rare metals used in the military and high-tech industry.
