Prior to this, Anna and Cooper had only met briefly, and they had only spoken a few words to each other. But Cooper—a cold and indifferent man—had left a deep impression in Anna’s heart.

During their meeting this time, their eyes met when Cooper was coming down the stairs. Anna felt as if her eyes were locked onto his as something magical lingered in the air between them.

Sophia had destroyed Callum’s dignity and both parties had already torn up their cooperation agreement, so she was not sure what Anna was doing in her house. But since they were here, they might as well made things clear.

When Sophia talked to her dad or her brother, she spoke in a young, child-like voice. But, as soon as Anna and her sons walked in, her voice turned low and grave and was completely different from her usual tone. “Mrs. Yard, since you’re here, let’s clarify some matters.”

They were guests nonetheless, so Sophia politely greeted them and made sure they were all properly seated before she began clearing things up.

“First of all, I’m sorry for the disagreement between me and Mr. Callum the other day. Even though we can’t continue with the business, we can still be friends.” Sophia gave Callum a sincere apology, which he accepted with a nod.

After all, there were no permanent friends or enemies, only permanent interests.

That day, Sophia was indeed offended by Anne’s impertinent remarks. Being called a ‘b*tch’ had certainly touched a nerve.

Sophia continued, “As for the house, we currently don’t have any plans of selling it. We’re staying in Villa No. 1, so we’re not going to sell it off. Those office buildings are being used as well, so we have no plans to sell them for the time being. Also, my dad doesn’t plan to remarry.”

The last sentence was the most important point.

 

Cooper had no interest in Anne whatsoever, so there was no point in trying to win him over.

Callum shrugged at this. What a huge misunderstanding.

 

But, now that everything was over, he reckoned that it was better to just let it go and let it remain a misunderstanding. Anne had already been beaten into submission after all.

Anna was the one to respond. “That misunderstanding was a result of my incompetent teaching. It caused Anne to overstep, so I’d like to express my apologies.”

Anna was an arrogant person, but she was not blindly arrogant.

Although they were speaking in a friendly manner, Sophia did not want to say anything to Anna anymore. Before this, they still had a nodding acquaintance, but now, all they had were business exchanges.

Meanwhile, Cooper and Linus said nothing. Sophia was always the one dealing with the Yard Family anyway, so they rarely had any contact with the Yards.

Even if they had dealings, it would be back-and-forth fights that were carried out in secret.

Hugging General, Linus stroked the feline. Touching a cat with shares does feel different, he thought. Cooper, on the other hand, kept a stony expression on his face.
