Chapter 390
However, after one look at the girl beside him, Mark decided to keep it secret. Since he had already
promised Michael, he had to keep his mouth shut. Furthermore, telling Woody about Sophia’s identity
now might do Sophia more harm than good.
The Mitchell family was full of cunning people. As an outsider, Mark couldn’t interfere with the Mitchell
family’s problems. However, Cooper was his godson, and Woody was his oldrade for many years.
He wanted to do everything he could to protect him.
During the war, foreign enemies invaded Cethos and they faced the danger of extermination. The
children of the Fletchers spilled blood on the front line while the Mitchell family started a business and
donated military supplies behind the scenes, ensuring the frontline soldiers had clothing and food.
That year, the winter was harsh and the snow was deep. Mark had top-secret documents with him but
was trapped in a mountain with his subordinates. The enemy surrounded and trapped them for over two
weeks, and they were running out of ammunition and food while many of them were wounded and sick.
Mark was so desperate that he almost gave up.
At that crucial moment, reinforcements finally arrived and they fought the enemy and brought them
military supplies. It turned out that Woody heard about the situation at the frontlines, so he personally
brought the military supplies to Mark with the protection of a group of soldiers.
After many years, Mark still remembered how he was covered in cuts and bruises after he broke out from
the foot of the mountain and saw Woody, who was wearing a trench coat as he stood at a distance. This
friendship that started during the revolution never faded even after so many years. Moreover, Cooper
was his godson.
Even though he couldn’t interfere with the Mitchell family’s affairs, if anyone dared to bully Woody and his
descendants, he would be the first to fight back! In the span of a few seconds, Mark’s thoughts had
traveled from the present to memories from decades ago and back again. Looking at Natasha and
Woody who were smiling brightly while they stood in front of him, he handed Woody the fat orange cat in
his arms. “Here’s Coop; hold him!”
Even though Woody was old and had dementia, he was still suspicious and he said, “From what I recall,
Coop doesn’t look like this!” Mark replied, “It’s been raining a lottely and the air has been humid. Your
son was affected by the humidity and became hairy!”
Woody scratched his head and believed him. “Coop has got fur…” He held the cat and stroked it as he
muttered, “Oh, Coop, how was your stay with your godfather? Daddy is here to take you home.”
“Meow.”
Woody yed with the cat’s ear and whispered, “Oh, my dear son, you really do look like your father!”
“Meow?”
Woody petted the cat everywhere and suddenly panicked. “Coop, where is your amulet? Where did your
amulet go?”
The cat meowed back.
Woody couldn’t find the amulet on his ‘son’ and he got really anxious. “Mason, where did my son’s
amulet go? Why is he not wearing it?”
Mark pointed at the cat’s cor impatiently and said, “Isn’t that Coop’s amulet?”
Woody touched the cat’s cor and was relieved. Then, he said to the cat in a serious tone, “Coop, you
must not lose your amulet. You must not lose it! It protects you. You’ll only be safe with the amulet on,
understand?”
Natasha, who was standing to one side, watched the two old menmunicate like idiots. The corner of
her lips curled into a mocking grin and her eyes were filled with impatience. If it weren’t for Mark, a well-
known warrior across thend of Cethos and a powerful man in the Fletcher family, she wouldn’t waste
her time with these two.
After hiding the disgust and impatience in her eyes, Natasha smiled brightly as she opened the
chessboard and said, “Old Master Fletcher, it’s me, Natasha Mitchell. It’s been a long time since Ist
yed chess with you. How about a game of chess right now?”
Natasha had also yed chess with Mark in the militarypound before. However, Mark didn’t really
like Natasha. For starters, Natasha couldn’t grasp the game at all. She eitherpletely dominated the
chessboard or went easy on him so obviously that Mark couldn’t ept it! Secondly, it was because
Natasha imed herself to be a genius who could surpass Cooper!
Hmph! My Coop is the greatest genius in the world! Not everyone can easily surpass him! I can’t believe
that this blond girl wants to surpass Cooper. Well, from what I see, she will never be able to!
At this time, Mark thought about Sophia, who got called away by Stanley just now, as he reluctantly
yed a game of chess with Natasha. Meanwhile, Woody held the cat and treated it as his son, not
noticing that his son had turned into a cat. Meanwhile, Sophia was being dragged away by Stanley.
“Come on, Sophia! Let’s go y some games at my house!”
Stanley excitedly led his dog and Sophia to his house and Nathan followed behind with an upset
expression. He wanted to see what Stanley was up too! Stanley had visited a principal of a prestigious
university with Sean during the day to discuss the introduction of the educational administration system
into the app, and sessfully signed an agreement. After he signed the contract, he immediately
received Mark’s call and rushed over.
Stanley was still wearing a business suit that fitted him perfectly even though he finished discussing
business. He looked serious and coupled with his rebellious and unruly hair, he looked really
outstanding. His hair and his outfit surprisingly matched. “Wow, that’s a great suit. Your taste in clothes
has finally improved and you’re about to catch up with your uncle!”
Sophia casuallyplimented him. Hearing this, Stanley patted his suit proudly and said delightedly, “Of
course! Who do you think chose this suit? Sean picked it out for me!” Hearing his praise, Sean, who was
standing next to him, grinned happily.
The two of them went to discuss business that day and had ordered two identical suits. The only
difference was Stanley’s dress shirt was white whereas Sean’s was pink. They really looked very
dashing! Stanley entered his room, took off his clothes and put on a pair of army green shorts before
walking out. He then switched on hisputer and excitedly asked Sophia to look at his new game.
“You’ve already progressed to this point?” Sophia gasped in amazement as she looked at the game he
opened.
The sniper game that Stanley came up with seemed to be shaping up well and would probably be ready
for an internal test soon. The disy of the game was really beautiful, the operations interesting and the
game innovative. It wasmendable that thepany managed to create such a good game in their
first try. However, she knew that Stanley had poured a lot of time and effort into this. Since high school,
he started interning in the gamingpany that Michael invested in. It was why he was able to have
such great achievements.
Later, the two of them turned on theputer and started ying games happily. Sean knew the reason
why Stanley was in a hurry to head home. They initially nned to have a dinner celebration after they
finished discussing business but Stanley suddenly got a call from Mark. He answered the call on speaker
so Sean heard everything. Besides, after Sean found out that Natasha took Woody away that morning,
he was prepared toe over to the militarypound to check it out.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.
At that moment, Stanley and Sophia were ying games happily so Sean knew that it was time for him
to leave. He dragged Nathan and said, “Nate, let’s take a walk around the garden.” However, Nathan
was reluctant to leave and he stared at Stanley and Sophia with wide eyes, afraid that Stanley would do
something untoward. When Stanley saw that Sean was leaving, he instantly pulled him back. “Sean, you
can’t leave! Come on, let’s y a game together!”
Sean was a little embarrassed but stayed nevertheless. Oh, Stanley, you fool! Even I can tell that Old
Master Fletcher is giving you an opportunity to spend time alone with Sophia! How can you not see it?
