Chapter 331
After school, Sophia returned home with the rosary around her neck. The ck obsidian cross was hard
to miss and easily recognizable with a mere nce.
Michael had already warned her not to have any interaction with the Mitchells. Not only did she meet up
with Woody, but she even brought Cooper’s rosary home with her.
The moment she opened the door when she arrived home, she saw Michael watching TV on the couch.
Nathan dashed for his new toy as soon as he went to the door while she stood without moving, afraid to
step in.
Seeing that no one was in the living room, Nathan went out to y with the toys in his hands. With
nobody else around, she faced her back to the living room with an anxious yet reddened face before
poking her butt in.
Since she had done something wrong and deserved to be punished, she should enter with her butt
first.
Actually, Michael had already known about the events that transpired for the past couple of days and he
was strongly adamant of her not being involved with the Mitchells. Like a quagmire, it would be
impossible to break free once contact, even a minute one, was made.
Yesterday, she had offended the eldest daughter of the family head of the Mitchell Family, Natasha,
whereas today, she kept Cooper’s rosary, which all the descendants of the family had been aggressively
eyeing for.
He thought to himself sarcastically, How amazing she is!
It was getting harder to suppress the fact that she was born with the Mitchells’ genes.
Setting aside the fact that Woody mistook her for his son with a mere nce, even his slow-witted
grandfather, Mark, had called to confirm her background a couple of days ago. “Are you sure that girl is
from the Edwards Family, and not the Mitchells?” he had asked in a serious tone.
Her involvement with the Mitchells were getting deeper—whether she knew it or not.
Despite that, the frustrations he had inside for the entire day evaporated when he saw how she wriggled
her butt through the door earlier. Standing up, he paced over and gave her butt a tight p.
Smack! Sophia’s face reddened, but she was afraid to withdraw her butt.
Michael gave her a few more ps in session, with each one being louder than thest.
Smack! Smack! “Have you realized your mistake?” he asked sternly when she was silent and afraid to
say something.
She lowered her head and answered, “Yes.”
He pped her again, but stroked it afterward. “What did you do wrong?”

“I shouldn’t have been involved with the Mitchells,” she answered timidly.
After giving Sophia another p, Michael asked, “What else?”
Retracting her head, she said, “I shouldn’t have epted Cooper’s amulet.”
Then, she surrendered the rosary herself.
Upon taking the rosary from her, he still felt her warmth radiating from it and it felt different as it was a
little warmer than his own. With the amulet in hand, he headed into the living room with her following
behind and standing at the side as her head drooped.
Staring at the rosary in his hand, it looked exactly as how he remembered it to be. It was said that Woody
had obtained it from a high priest and Cooper had worn it since childhood, never removing it even once.
In every photo of Cooper, the rosary could be seen. It was all a terrified Michael had subconsciously
stared at every time he was writing in front of Cooper. Over a long period of time, he was brainwashed by
what he saw and the rosary became a nightmare from his childhood!
Legend had it that it was a rock with spiritual powers. Therefore, everything was smooth sailing for
Cooper since young because of the rock’s blessings.
Heter passed away because he had removed the rosary. The first time that he took it off was the time
when he met with a car ident.
The descendents of the Mitchell Family had vied aggressively over each other for it, but Woody regarded
it as his life and wouldn’t give it to anyone.
However, he had easily passed it to Sophia.
Of course, Michael didn’t believe that the rock had any spiritual powers at all; it was merely an amulet.
Back then, Cooper probably had already prepared himself topletely sever his ties with the Mitchells
and even removed the rosary to return it to Woody. Maybe he didn’t want to take anything away from the
Mitchells.
Based on the information that Hale had given Michael, Woody had privately sought out Annabel and
offered a sum of money to leave his son in an attempt to force them apart when her rtionship with
Cooper was exposed. At the same time, he lied to Cooper that he had her killed.
As kind-hearted as Woody’s solution to the problem was, it still created a wedge between father and son,
turning them into strangers from then on. It was probably around that time when Cooper hatched a n
to sever all ties with the Mitchells! For ten long years, he nned the future of the Mitchells and Woody
before leaving with no loose ends and anything that belonged to the family behind.
Michael held the rosary in his hand for a long time until it became warm, but for some unknown reason, it
didn’t feel like his own warmth on the rosary. Rather, it still felt like Sophia’s warmth and he sighed.
Maybe this rock really has spiritual powers and can recognize its owner!
Sophia was still nervous—she had liked the rosary and wanted to wear it for a couple more days before
returning it, but he would never permit that.
Focusing on the rosary before looking at Michael, who was holding it, she observed that he would sigh
for a moment before frowning in the next second.
Suddenly, he patted his own thigh and called out to her, “Come over here, chica.”
She went over and sat on his thighs before he put the amulet on her. “This rock has spiritual powers and
it will bless you in your studies if you wear it.”
It could have been her fate with the rosary. Although Woody’s eyesight was failing him, he could
somehow tell that Cooper’s child had returned.
With the rosary around her neck, Sophia was absolutely delighted as she admired it in her hands.
Michael had almost blurted out the truth about her background a few times when he saw how happy she
was, but he held back on his urge.
At that point, he had much more to consider—she was Cooper’s daughter, the one who inherited his
insane genes and that made her as good as a sleeping dragon! It was only a matter of time before she
would break through the skies and he felt that he wouldn’t be able to keep her protected much longer.
Sooner orter, the Mitchells would discover her identity!
It was as though the blood flowing in her was gradually drawing her closer to the Mitchell Family’s
quagmire—and unless she stayed at home for the rest of her life, there was no other way to prevent it.
He growled internally, However, if she’s sucked into their family conflicts… That will be a massive
headache!
Michael had once made up his mind to bring the secret to his grave, but it was getting arduous to
conceal Cooper’s genes in Sophia and he had to be prepared for the day when she would be
discovered.
If only Cooper could be found now…
As he decided on what to do next, he reminded, “Minimize your contact with the Mitchells, but Old
Master can be an exception. He’s getting on in his years and doesn’t have any children, so you can go
and visit him whenever you’re free!”
Sophia was overjoyed—he had outdone himself in being kind! He has really lived up to his name as an
idol! No matter from which angle you look at him, he’s perfect and shining with the brilliance of humanity
365 days of the year!
After receiving the amulet, she wore the rosary.on a daily basis. Perhaps she could have been
possessed by the prodigy’s soul, but she felt that her brains were more active and she was able to learn
things at a faster rate.
Within a few days, she had discreetly passed a professional-grade minoritynguage exam and obtained
a third-level certificate in Computer Science without a glitch.
Her obsession with obtaining certificates was something that she couldn’t control and she suddenly
received a call from the university one day. “Is this Miss Edwards? The finals for Miss Misty Pageant,
which you had registered for, has been brought forward to the 18th. It will be held at the university’s main
auditorium at 2 in the afternoon. Please be prepared beforehand!”
