As Michael, who accompanied Sophia, walked in the door, he saw a classy lady in the private room who seemed to be in her early 30s. She was extremely beautiful, so if she were a few years younger, she’d definitely be a veritable beauty, though she was also no slouch now. Judging from her aura, she was definitely from a wealthy family. Mrs. Anna Yard? And she even seems acquainted with Sophia. Anna… could it be what I’m thinking? It was exactly as he thought.

Never had Sophia expected that the person she saw the moment she opened the door would be Anna Yard, the person who held the real power in Yard Group and the mother of Cade and Callum Yard!

Upon seeing her, Anna put down the teacup in her hand and raised her head a fraction. “Have a seat,” she murmured elegantly.

Sophia was still flustered from astonishment, but a flurry of movements came from the cat carrier in the hands of Hale who came with them. As soon as the cat carrier was opened, General who was inside leaped out and flew into Anna’s arm, meowing loudly. Meow! The sound was long and piercing, carrying the joy of seeing its owner while also complaining at the same time—I was at a commoner’s house yesterday, and the cat food was horrible! They even had a litter of local breeds that batted me!

Cuddling the cat, Anna stroked it lovingly for a while before having her assistant take it away. As she did so, she smilingly said to Sophia, “I’m sorry, but this cat grew up in the Yard Family, so it only eats the cat food made from the recipe passed down during the imperial times of the Yard Dynasty.”

Sophia gave a dry chuckle before sitting down on the sofa across from Anna. “I didn’t know it’s your cat, Mrs. Yard. No wonder it’s so elegant.”

This is also a descendant of the Imperial cat? It’s very much different compared to the ancient Imperial Palace’s Imperial cat!

At this time, Michael quietly sat down beside Sophia as well. Then, he scrutinized the woman in front of him. So, she’s Anna Yard. He surreptitiously studied her face, but it was entirely different from the Annabel Johnson he imagined. No matter her countenance, aura, or temperament, they’re two entirely different people, and she never had cosmetic surgery.

years old. Meanwhile, a woman’s countenance is wholly different when she’s in her teens than when she’s 45 or 46 years old. There’s a 20 plus year gap, and the life experience throughout that time is sufficient to render one’s temperament and countenance completely different. So, is she Annabel Johnson? Unfortunately, I’ve never really interacted with that mother-in-law of mine, so Cooper may be
