Alex felt a boost in his energy once he saw an increasing amount of his supporters swarming in. Now that he had leverage over Cooper, he felt an unlimited amount of confidence within him and called the latter out the moment he saw Cooper walking toward them. “You’re finally here, Cooper!”

However, Cooper barely noticed Alex’s presence as he walked straight toward Sophia. “Daddy!” Sophia was both surprised and glad to see Cooper. “Why did you come back?”

Cooper’s gaze was fixed upon Sophia’s clothes as he walked toward her and tugged lightly at her leopard-print jacket. “Are you cold? Do you need another jacket?” he asked. Someone from the Mitchell Family had uploaded a livestream of the incident, and those who weren’t able to be physically there could watch it online. Cooper saw his little sweetheart getting out of a helicopter in the cold weather, and he was worried that she would freeze to death in her clothes.

His words gave Sophia a warm, fuzzy feeling. “I’m fine. My clothes are thick,” she replied. Once Cooper was certain that his precious baby wasn’t too cold, he patted her on the shoulder. “Go and wait in the car. I’ll come join you in a bit,” he said. With a swift gesture, Cooper then turned and headed toward Woody’s grave. Both him and Linus began paying their respects to Woody.

However, Sophia didn’t leave just yet. She wanted to watch Cooper reclaim his role as the family head of the Mitchell Family. On the other hand, Michael led Sophia aside. Cooper was supposed to be the one handling this issue today, and Michael was freezing—all he wanted to do was go home.

Meanwhile, Alex wore a pleased expression on his face as he watched Cooper and Linus paying their respects. “You’re finally here, Cooper! You’ve been hiding in your shell for 20 years now! Now that you’re here, I believe you owe the rest of the Mitchell Family members an explanation for what you’ve done! You should explain where you’ve been for the past 20 years in front of our ancestors! Where were you when your father developed Alzheimer’s disease because of your disappearance? Where were you when your father was bedridden with his illness?” Alex sent a stream of questions directly into Cooper’s face, but the latter maintained his solemn expression; Cooper and Linus continued to bow and showed their respects to Woody and Beyoncé’s gravestones.

He then gave Woody’s tombstone a long, deep stare before he turned around and walked down the hill from the ancestral grave.

However, his voice was stern and firm as he continued speaking. “I never attempted to deny my faults. I made a mistake because I was too young and immature back then. I feel extremely apologetic toward my father and my family. I, Cooper Mitchell, would like to ask my ancestors for forgiveness. I hope that my wise ancestors can give me—their disgraceful grandchild—an opportunity
