Needless to say, one’s beauty would fade after 28 years. Besides, Jordan had grown older—so much so that his hair was starting to grey. However, Sophia compared the two men’s photos side by side and discovered that aside from their ages, both men were vastly different.

28 years ago, Jordan had a sharp aura, a steely gaze, and a towering arrogance. He had a frivolous and domineering attitude that looked down on others. However, the man she met 28 years later was a sly and wretched little old man with a large potbelly. No matter how she looked at them, she had the feeling that they were not the same person.

All things aside, Jordan owned a BMW back then. More importantly, he was also Cooper’s greatest enemy. According to Cooper, he was just an underaged boy 30 years ago. On the other hand, Jordan was already the head of the Edwards Family by then. Even so, he felt jealousy and hatred for a child 10 years younger than himself. He was the kind of man who would eradicate all his potential enemies, even if the opponent was just a child. As a result, many promising young geniuses in Bayside City met an untimely end, and he was the mastermind behind their deaths.

Although Jordan and Sam were brothers, they constantly competed with each other. Back when Sam was still active in the political scene, he nearly became president at one time. However, he was only one step away from becoming the president when he suddenly retired from politics and returned to doing business. It was rumored that Jordan was behind that incident too.

Sam and Cooper were Jordan’s enemies. Even if those two were just teenagers at the time, Jordan would not hesitate to take action against them. If the bigshot who had taken Annabel away from the Johnsons turned out to be Jordan… Sophia suddenly felt a chill running down her back. Her heart pounded wildly, and her eyes were filled with horror and disbelief—her hand holding the photos started trembling. If… Annabel was already acquainted with Jordan before she started working, and Jordan was the one to introduce her to her workplace…

Annabel was taken away by Jordan when she was 15. Upon turning 16, she appeared at Sam’s first independently-run business—the restaurant known as the Crimson House—as part of his first batch of employees… Not only that, but she also met Sam and fell in love with Cooper through her connection with Jordan.

At the time, Jordan must have begun to fear Cooper’s existence. After all, Cooper was already starting to show his extraordinary talents. He was in the process of writing the world’s first online game and developing the world’s first USB flash disk. He was a genius with unlimited potential as well as the future head of the Mitchell Family.

On the other hand, Sophia had never heard Cooper and Sam mentioning the fact that Annabel was already acquainted with Jordan before meeting them. It was highly possible that they were completely unaware of that fact. Moreover, Cooper later gave up on his promising future, eloped with Annabel to the South, and even encountered assassins along the way…
