Alex, who had just cursed and scolded Michael’s wife moments ago, was now reluctant to say much since Michael had arrived. He quickly changed the topic and said, “Michael, the Fletchers and the Mitchells are family friends. I hope you don’t ruin the relationship between our families just for the sake of a traitor. You won’t be able to bear the consequences if you were to alter the dynamics of our families’ relationship!”
“Hah. The friendship between our families was built during Old Master Mitchell and my grandfather’s generation. Since you’re trying to dig up Old Master Mitchell’s grave now… you’re the one that’s ruining the relationship between our families!” Michael replied in an easygoing tone. Alex fell speechless.
“Alright, the weather’s pretty cold. Guards, chase these uninvited people out—we should go pay our respects now!” Michael continued to speak. Upon his orders, a bunch of men in black who worked under the Mitchell Family quickly rushed over to drag Alex and his men away. Everyone else applauded as this happened.
While Alex cursed and thrashed about as he was dragged by his shirt and thrown out, Michael turned to look at Sophia; she was all he saw at that moment. “Come on, let’s go pay our respects.” Since they were already there, they decided to pay their respects and clean up Woody’s gravestone before leaving. Sophia happily slid her hand into Michael’s before they walked over to the gravestones.
The rather unusual family meeting of the day came to an end, and Sophia finally fulfilled her long-desired wish from years ago. While she was feeling content, another determined voice sounded from the crowd right then. “No! I refuse to let this happen. Cooper is a traitor of the Mitchell Family. He has no right to be the family head of the Mitchell Family! He has no right to be in the genealogy record book and no right to be buried in the ancestral grave!”
Sophia’s footsteps came to a halt as she suddenly realized something. That’s right. Cooper has been known as a traitor for so long… Although he did betray the Mitchells, it was because they wronged him first. This isn’t over just yet!
Sophia spoke in a stern voice as she asked for Alex and the rest to be brought back to her. Her impression of Alex had always been a strict and domineering elderly, but after revealing his true colors, he looked like nothing but a hideous old man filled with ill-intentions. Sophia glanced

some old wounds between Sophia and Cooper, and he assumed this meant victory for him. “Cooper’s a traitor of the Mitchell Family; everyone knows that! We’ve seen it with our own eyes. He has no right to be the family head of the Mitchells! He’s our largest traitor! Traitor!” he shouted toward

hard for her to get everyone to hear her clearly; her throat was already burning from the few sentences she had said earlier. After sipping on some water, she picked the microphone up and readied herself to explain everything to the Mitchells. Cooper never thought of concealing the truth either, and people were going to find out sooner or later; hence, Sophia thought it’d be better for her to
