Although Quinton had no idea why Michael would want to find out about Anna Yard and the Yard twins, he still told him what he knew. “The main Yard Family was almost destroyed by the Fletchers, so only a few of them survived. My master was a servant to those surviving Yards, but due to an internal strife in the Yard Family later on, he was forced to flee. Then, he unexpectedly found a Yard Family member, who was in exile, and he sent her back to the Yards as his last favor for them. Anna Yard was the Yard Family member my master stumbled upon, but it was later found out that she was infertile, so she begat a pair of twins through IVF and eventually strengthened her position in the family.”

Michael’s breathing stopped when he heard this. At that instant, he finally understood why the last message the imposter’s master sent to her was to tell her to kill the twins—it was because only twins were eligible to be the heirs to the Imperial Yard Family. Apparently, the existence of Sophia and Linus, who were also twins, was a threat to some people’s claim to the throne.

Then, Michael asked, “Who is the father of Callum and Cade Yard?”

Quinton replied, “No one knows for sure.”

Hearing this, Michael lit up a cigarette and then puffed out some smoke. Things are getting more complicated. When he was almost done with smoking the cigarette, he put it out and asked, “Tell me more about Anna Yard. What is she like?” As the one who had saved Anna, Quinton’s master would surely know some secrets that most people didn’t.

“Anna Yard can only be described as ruthless and unfeeling. I heard that during the internal strife of the Yard Family, the twins were captured by those from the branch family. They demanded that Anna should give up her shares and her position as the leader of the Yard Group. Otherwise, they’d kill the twins in front of her. However, Anna decided to give up her children simply for the sake of holding on to her power. She’s really something.”

Recalling what the imposter said previously, Michael had a better understanding of the whole picture now. “Alright. See you soon.”

However, the more he had figured out, the heavier his heart grew, for he wasn’t sure how to explain this to Sophia. Anna Yard has to be Annabel Johnson. She had met Sophia before, but she never revealed her identity to her. Maybe she has lost her memory, since the Phantom Wolf’s skill to erase a person’s memory comes from the Imperial Yard Family. Or maybe, she just doesn’t want to reunite with Sophia and Cooper. Whatever the case, it is going to be hard for Sophia to accept the truth.

Gritting his teeth, Michael decided to hide this revelation from Sophia because he couldn’t bear to see her get hurt again, even if they had to sever ties with Cooper. To hell with Cooper and Annabel! Since Sophia wants a family, I will build one for her! In this family, Carmen and I are good enough for her!
