If Justin hadn’t heard them talking about removing his oxygen with his own ears back when he was lying
on his sickbed, Celine wouldn’t have dared to believe that there were parents who would do that to their
biological children!
While Anthony and Mrs. Mitchell were stillpletely dumbstruck, Justin came over as he held Nathan’s
hand. He gave his parents a very apologetic nod and said, “I’m sorry, Dad and Mom. I’m actually still
alive.”
Anthony stuttered, “J-Justin, y-you…”
Justin was expressionless. “I hope you guys won’t go around telling people that I’m still alive.
Otherwise, your son will no longer be a martyr.” Justin had lost all hope for his parents; he had given up
his hope for good back when he returned home excitedly to tell them that he wanted to get married.
Instead, he was met with their stern objection and threats. He then continued, “I’m sorry for being
useless. I didn’t die gloriously as you two wished; instead, I have been living life all these years just for
the sake of remaining alive. Also, I married into the Fletcher Family as a live-in son-inw; my son is
surnamed after his mother. Since I’m no longer rted to the Mitchell Family, just consider me dead.”
Anthony trembled all over with rage upon hearing these words. As he felt his blood rushing to his head,
he pointed at Justin and Celine angrily with a trembling hand. “Y-You two…”
Celine spoke aggressively, “That’s the way things are—you two can’t take our kid away because he’s
one of the Fletchers! Both your son and your grandson are now Fletchers; they’re also protected by the
Fletcher Family! You two should keep your mouths shut. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that I won’t tell
anyone about your attempt to kill your biological son by taking him off his oxygen!”
Celine hated Phantom Wolf the most. After all, he had forced her family of three to be separated for
seven years. The next thing she hated the most were the Mitchells—they had nearly killed Justin by
taking him off his oxygen! If Justin hadn’t been lucky enough to hang on until Michael arrived, her
currently sober self would only have gotten the news of Justin’s death!
Having finished what they had said, the family of three got back into their car as they didn’t want to get
entangled with the Mitchells. This was already thest bit of mercy Justin could show the Mitchell Family.
Joel started to chase the Mitchell Family’s men away while Anthony was still in shock over the fact that
Justin was still alive. Seeing that he could no longer seek undue advantages on this day, Anthony had no
choice but to leave.
After chasing the Mitchell Family’s men away, Joel nced at Sophia without speaking to her. He turned
around, got into the military vehicle, and left with his troops. His main purpose ofing here on this day
was to tell the Mitchells that Nathan was one of the Fletchers. The Fletcher Family would not turn a blind
eye if the Mitchells ever attempted to snatch Nathan away again!
Having watched the entire drama unfold, Sophia finally came to her senses a little; it was only then did
she feel some soreness in her hands.
Celine winked at her from inside the car before driving off first. Michael—who had arrived long ago—
stepped out of his car and walked up to Sophia concernedly. His heart ached a lot when he saw her
reddened hands, so he quickly put her hands in his and massaged them. He red at Stanley while he
said, “You stupid dog—why didn’t you give Natasha a few ps on your aunt’s behalf when you saw her
beating Natasha up? Look at how her hands have be after the beating…”
Sophia had already finished beating Natasha up when he arrived. Otherwise, he would have given
Natasha a few ps to ease Sophia’s burden. Feeling hurt, Stanley pouted his lips and said, “Alright, just
me me for it!” He was stupefied when Sophia beat Natasha up without hesitation just now. He never
wanted to see such a scene again in his life!
After that, Michael carefully led Sophia into the car before driving off. Meanwhile, Stanley curled his lips
when he saw Sean picking up something that Natasha had dropped earlier. It was a bracelet.
Patting Sean’s shoulder worriedly, Stanley then asked, “Will you be alright with going back to the Mitchell
Residence by yourself? Are they going to give you trouble after seeing that you’re on such good terms
with Uncle Michael?”
Sean smiled with perfectposure. “It’s alright. I’m nothing but a useless person in their eyes, so they
can’t be bothered to give me trouble.” He was right. In the Mitchell Family, those who weren’t part of
Mitchell Group’s core management team or hadn’t made a name for themselves in politics were all
useless. For instance, Sean had long been excluded from the Mitchell Family’s core leadership. He was
pretty much nonexistent in the Mitchell Family; one would probably learn that he was a member of the
Mitchell Family only by noticing the extra tableware set at every meal.
It wasn’t until he had recently brought back news of Cooper being alive bit by bit and pretended to
uncover news about Cooper by ident did his family gradually notice his presence.
The Mitchells didn’t care if he was on good terms with Stanley. After all, Stanley was also a useless
member of the Fletchers in their eyes. A Fletcher who didn’t join the army was a useless piece of trash,
and two good-for-nothings who got together were even more worthless. To the Mitchells, it was a waste
of time to take one more nce at them—they didn’t pose a threat at all.
Two dayster, Michael had a feast at home to celebrate the fact that Sophia had finally vented her
resentment by beating up the woman who had seduced her husband in public. Having learned about
this, Stanley immediately told Sean to visit Michael’s ce to scrounge a free meal together.
Ever since Sophia married Michael, he would often spread feasts to celebrate all kinds of things. He
would spread celebratory feasts during instances when Sophia had done well in her end-of-semester
exams, when she beat up the woman who tried to seduce her husband, or when herpany performed
well. He even had all the reason to spread a feast when she finally menstruated normally this month
without experiencing any menstrual pain. Sometimes, he would even have a feast merely to celebrate
her new hairstyles. Therefore, he had feasts at home almost every day. Whenever Stanley learned that
Michael would be having a feast, he would immediately rush to his home and scrounge a free meal.
On this day, Stanley was eager to share a piece of gossip he had recently heard once he arrived. “Aunt,
I’d like to tell you an earth-shattering piece of gossip. I’ll tell you if you open up a bottle of French Cheval-
nc for me!”
“I’m not interested in listening to gossip,” answered Sophia.
Acting like a spoiled child, Stanley pleaded, “Aunt, just open a bottle of French Cheval-nc for me,
please. The gossip is about Natasha, and it’s even more bizarre than novels. Don’t you want to listen to
it? Would you like to listen to it?”
Sophia pricked up her ears, but she pretended to be unconcerned. “I’m not interested.”
With a cheerful smile on his face, Sean came over and said, “It’s about Natasha. She…”
“Let me say it! Let me say it!” Stanley couldn’t hold it in anymore and interrupted Sean. “Aunt, Natasha
was admitted into the hospital after you beat the sh*t out of her. The next day, Alex’s son was born! Since
his son was born in poor health, he was kept in an incubator in the ward next to Natasha’s. Guess what
happened next—Natasha sneaked into the ward at night and strangled her younger brother to death!
What’s more, she refused to admit it when his death was discovered the next day. Luckily, the
surveince camera caught her red-handed!”
Sophia didn’t feel anything strange about the news after learning about that, for the baby would rob
Natasha of everything she had once he was born. Natasha quietly strangled him to death because she
had no other choice, but this was a good move on her side.
Natasha’s mother was almost 50 years old and had exhausted herself by giving birth to this son, so she
probably could no longer give birth to another child. Now that the baby was dead, Natasha would be
Alex’s only descendant. If he lost Natasha as well, he would really die childless andpletely lose the
upper hand in the power struggle within the Mitchell Family.
One would have no future without a descendant since long-term development wouldn’t be possible. That
was also why the ancient officials and emperors preferred princes who had more descendants. Sophia
couldn’t help but ask, “What happened after that?”
Sean answered, “What else do you think happened? Now that she is Alex’s only descendant, he cannot
do anything to her. He covered up the news, and no one dares to speak about it anymore.”
As expected, what happened was in line with Sophia’s expectations. Even though such a course of
action was ridiculous and didn’t conform tomon logic, one mustn’t think about the Mitchell Family in
the way he or she thought about ordinary people.
Anthony could take his son off thetter’s oxygen himself just to have Justin named a martyr, whereas
Cooper left the Mitchell Family because he resented the Mitchells for killing Annabel; his father had
be so furious that he fell ill with Alzheimer’s disease. Moreover, Natasha even killed her younger
brother to maintain her position within the family. Therefore, what else could Alex do right now?
Now that Natasha had be his only descendant just when the Mitchell Family was in a state of
turmoil, he had to keep her safe and sound. At the very least, this was the only thing he could do before
his next descendant was born.
All Natasha needed to do during this period was to behave herself as the Young Lady of the Mitchell
Family. As long as she redeemed her position within the family as soon as possible, she would still be
acknowledged as Young Lady Mitchell sooner orter.
