Did Cooper realize something? It seems that some secrets are destined to be uncovered! Michael and Linus went after him as well. When Sophia got downstairs, she saw Cooper standing in front of the house while watching the person with an umbrella approaching them. His gaze was fixated on her as her figure gradually came into view. Slowly but surely, the woman’s dainty figure took all of his attention, gradually overlapping with the figure of the woman from his memories.

At that moment, Sophia tugged on his sleeve before asking in a lowered voice, “Dad, what’s the matter?” Cooper remained unresponsive to her, as if not noticing her presence at all. Looking up, Sophia noticed the woman with an umbrella walking up to them from afar, immediately recognizing the latter as Anna Yard. Therefore, she quickly tugged on Cooper. “Dad, don’t stand in the middle of the road. You’re blocking her way.”

Upon hearing her words, Cooper moved aside, but his eyes were still fixated on Anna. While on her way to the house, Anna saw Sophia from afar. In fact, she was expecting to meet Sophia here. Meanwhile, Sophia was guessing that Anna managed to secure a truce with the government of Cethos by donating all the artefacts she collected, which was the reason why Mark invited her to the house. Thus, she quickly greeted Anna. “Mrs. Yard, it’s great to see you. My grandfather and I have been expecting you.”

In the meantime, Anna put the umbrella away while tucking her hair away from her face. Although she was already over forty years old, she still looked attractive and way younger than her age. Her beauty was both temperamental and physical, for despite her relatively light makeup, she was still immeasurably beautiful.

\Beauty came in all shapes and forms; some would wear beauty over their physical frame, whereas some exuded it from within, and Anna was classified as the latter. Even if the Yards were no longer royalty, their nobility and grace were embedded deeply within them; they simply oozed beauty and grace.

Meanwhile, Anna said, “I’m sorry for being late. I was attending an interview with Focal Point, which was produced by Cethos Central Television, so I was held up.”

Even Michael had only been on the program once! I didn’t even get the chance to be on it! Sophia was in awe of Anna. “Come on in! It’s searing outside.”

In a few strides, Anna had one leg on the steps, exposing one of her calves. Every single inch of her fair skin screamed exquisiteness, and it was as if she was a princess from a long lost empire. She already saw Cooper from afar, who was standing beside Sophia in all his glory, so she asked, “Who might he be?” Since she had seen Cooper’s photos, she knew who he was, but she still chose to inquire politely on his identity regardless.
