Chapter 367
I was supposed to be a little princess who is cherished and loved by my parents, but unfortunately, things
didn’t go as nned…
Michael lightly patted her trembling shoulders and whispered, “I’m sorry. I found out you’re Cooper’s
daughter when I saw my mother’s notebook. However, I kept it from you because I was nning to give
you a big surprise, the best father in the world… We’ll go to Kuwait to take the money out tomorrow.
Once your father finds out that somebody took the money, he’ll definitely show up.”

Sophiay in Michael’s arms and nodded. As she held the amulet that Cooper gave Annabel in her hand,
she suddenly felt like she was the happiest person in the world because not only did she have Michael,
but she was also going to have the best dad in the world…
The next day, Michael arranged the flight to Kuwait. On the way there, Sophia was extremely excited and
she asionally looked out the window.
I’m going to have a dad soon! Cooper, who I have always admired, turned out to be my father! Ever
since I was young, I’ve been a child with an unknown father and I’ve never had a father or mother to
take care of me. Nobody will understand my desire to meet my parents. At that moment, Sophia
wanted to tell the whole world that she was the happiest person in the world because she had found
her father who had been lost for twenty years!
Along the way, Sophia kept asking questions. “Do you think my father will like me? Do you think my
father wille running as soon as he finds out that he has a daughter? What kind of person is my dad?
Is he stern? Is he hard to talk to? Will he be strict with me? He got a double Phd at the age of 18. I’m 20
years old this year but I don’t even have a single degree. Will he be really disappointed in me? Hubby,
have you spoken to him before? Will he agree to let us be together? You’re only a few years younger
than him. Will he dislike your age? I heard that your sister went on a blind date with him. Will it be
awkward for us to be together?”
Michael smiled and looked at her as he dotingly said, “You can be rest assured. He is a very nice person
and he’ll love you very much.” He could tell how much Sophia was looking forward to meeting her father.
If somebody told me that Theo isn’t dead and is alive somewhere in this world, I’m sure that I’ll be as
excited and fascinated as she is!
However, deep down, his worry grew stronger. If he had guessed wrongly and Cooper really did die back
then, or he had remarried and built a new family elsewhere… He even left his demented father ruthlessly,
let alone a daughter he has never met… For people like Cooper, domineering business is his life goal.
Family affection is probably something he won’t care for. Or perhaps, his feelings for Annabel are not
particrly deep…
The nended in Kuwait in time. Kuwait was an oil-rich country that could only be described as
‘fabulously rich’. The cabs that whizzed around the streets were all luxury cars and it was obvious the
country was exceptionally wealthy. After they got off the ne, the people that Michael arranged
beforehand came to pick them up. Later, they directly went to the biggest bank in Kuwait to ask for the
fortune. All they needed were the tokens and the password to retrieve the fortune, and they didn’t need
to prove their identities. Michael showed them the pair of amulets and Sophia spent 20 to 30 minutes to
recite the thousand-digit password. After reciting the password, they retrieved the fortune without any
problems.
It was a fortune of 100 million that was valued over 10 years ago! Kuwait’s economy had been booming
in the past few years and the housing prices had been rising. Furthermore, the properties that Cooper
bought were in prime locations in the city center, let alone the price of gold now. The investment
company that Cooper left in Kuwait had also been running.
Michael brought his own men to search around Kuwait and it took them several days for them to count
the property that Cooper had left here. After doing some calctions, they found out that the fortune that
Cooper left was no longer only 100 million. Cooper was intelligent—the investments he made had the
fastest appreciation rate and estates that he bought were the most value-preserving. Furthermore,
Kuwait’s currency exchange rate was rtively valuable. Combined with intion over the years and the
operations of the investmentpany, he had made a dozen times more profit from his initial capital!
After calcting for a few days, Michael transferred all the money and assets to Sophia. As for the real
estates, they decided to not sell them for the time being, and Michael’s people joined the management of
the investmentpany. Sophia, who had worked hard but didn’t manage to save much, suddenly
became a billionaire. It was just like a dream.
Sophia and Michael stayed in Kuwait for a week to wait for news about Cooper. Unfortunately, even
though Michael purposely spread the news that he took out the 100 million through some channels, they
never heard any news about Cooper. Cooper was confident that nobody could take away that fortune
because the other half of the amulet had disappeared following Annabel’s death. If the other half of the
amulet showed up, it must be because Annabel had appeared.
After waiting for a week, Michael really couldn’t stay and wait any longer. The crew had urged for his
return several times so they had no choice but to return. Before they left, Sophia seemed reluctant to
part with this country, hoping that Cooper would knock on her door. Michael held her slightly cold small
hand and saw the anxiety and disappointment in her eyes. Distressed, he said softly, “Let’s go back first.
Once Cooper hears the news, he’ll certainlye looking for you.”
With that, Sophia reluctantly got on the private ne and followed Michael back home. After they
returned to Cethos, Sophia kept waiting for Cooper’s news. She asked Hale all the time and every day
when Michael returned home, the first thing she asked was about Cooper.
Unfortunately, they didn’t find Cooper even after two weeks of their return to Cethos from Kuwait. The
news that the fortunat was taken away was quickly spread through all sorts of channels. After all, there
were several powerful forces eyeing the huge fortune. Many forces even secretly started investigating.
Michael checked out these people one by one but he still couldn’t find Cooper’s whereabouts.
Meanwhile, Abel’s fingerprint scanning didn’t have any progress either. It was as if Cooper had vanished
from this world… When they first returned from Kuwait, Sophia asked about Cooper over ten times a day
but after a while, she gradually asked about him less. Until one day, when Michael returned home,
Sophia didn’t run to him excitedly to ask him about Cooper. With a bitter expression, Maria asked, “Boss,
Madam kept herself in her room today and didn’t even eat lunch. I have no idea what happened to her.”
Hearing this, Michael’s heart sank and felt a deep regret.
The thing that he worried about the most had happened. If only he was a little tougher back then and
stopped her from seeing the items in Annabel’s safe, she would only be a happy chica who made a
fortune…
Michael gently pushed open the door of the master bedroom and saw a figure sitting in front of the
French windows. Sophia was still in her pajamas, and she was curled into a ball with her knees to her
chest. She was staring ahead nkly, as if she was abandoned by the whole world. She was holding
one of Annabel’s photos in her hand and on the back of the photo was a line of scribbles: Coop, where
are you?
How desperate could Annabel be when she wrote this sentence? It was exactly how Sophia was feeling
at that moment as she too wanted to ask the same question. Cooper, where are you?
