Alex was the one who caused Cooper’s accident all those years ago? The crowd’s reaction was huge when they heard this shocking news, and they all turned toward Alex immediately. Cooper was known to have passed away due to a car accident back then, but they never found his dead body. After his death, Woody was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, and the role of the family head fell upon Alex. Alex had allegedly confiscated all of Cooper and Woody’s personal funds and properties back then, but no one could truly tell if he had actually taken it for his own personal use. In hindsight, it made total sense for Alex to be the culprit in Cooper’s accident! After all, he got the most benefit out of it! Although Cooper hadn’t actually died back then, Alex had to be punished for attempting to harm him.

However, Alex appeared to be calm and composed in the face of Sophia’s accusations. “Slander! You’re just giving me a bad name here! Do you have any proof of it? Any witnesses or physical evidence? Even your father wouldn’t dare to accuse me of harming him. This is considered defamation if you don’t have any proof. I want to sue you for this!”

Sophia let out a long sigh through her nostrils before she smiled faintly. She hadn’t planned on looking any further into this issue; she simply wanted to inform the Mitchells of what had happened in the past. It had been 20 years since the accident, and it was a little too late to do anything about it. The court probably wouldn’t hear the case, and Cooper was still alive. However, Alex was practically asking for it right then.

“Since you’ve brought this topic up, I’d like to ask Cooper a question now that I’m standing right in front of Old Master Mitchell’s grave…” Alex pointed a finger toward Woody’s grave before he questioned Sophia in a formal tone. “Where was your father, Cooper, when Old Master Mitchell was drowning in his sorrows after his son’s death? Where was his only son, Cooper, when Old Master Mitchell suffered from Alzheimer’s disease throughout those 10 years? Where was Cooper?”

Sophia didn’t respond to this. It was true that Cooper was heartless in the past; he certainly knew about Woody’s Alzheimer’s disease, but he still managed to stay away from home for a whopping 20 years. 20 long years… The amount of love Cooper had for Annabel was equivalent to the amount of hatred he had for the Mitchell family.

Once Alex saw that Sophia had no response to his words, he was certain that she felt guilty; he had once again reclaimed his higher moral ground. “That year, Cooper intentionally staged an accident to escape from the Mitchell Family. He betrayed his biological parents and the family that nurtured him. Instead, he chose to start anew in a different place—that’s an extremely irresponsible act to perform as the family head. He just left as he wished! He’s the largest traitor in the Mitchell Family! I’d like to ask Cooper if he has the guts to visit our ancestral grave and tell our ancestors about how he developed his plan to leave the Mitchells in the past! He’d never dare to do that! Never! That’s because he knows that he’s a traitor himself! He’s probably hiding in a corner somewhere now; the most he’d dare to do is to send his illegitimate daughter over to confuse us with her words! You should step forward if you think you’re that great, Cooper! If you really think you’re guilty, you should stand in front of our ancestors and explain yourself clearly!”

today? Sophia no longer wished to waste her time talking to Alex. She was certain that the other members of the Mitchell Family could see what Alex had really done for them in the past 20 years. “Drag him out. I’ll be taking over my

The entire piece of land across the mountains was filled with people, and more of Alex’s supporters came over to protest. They insisted for Cooper to appear and explain himself, claiming that he would have to be present if they were to host a public vote to choose their family head. Many of the audience arrived to watch the scene of Alex and his supporters shouting and screaming; those who missed the first half of the
