Chapter 765
The West Family had built their family business from scratch—it had not been more than a dozen years
that they led their luxurious lives and now had to be as poor as they once were. To them, it would
be a fatal blow.
However, what terrified them was the fact that they did not know who was behind their bankruptcy.
In the blink of an eye, a hand emerged from the shadows and silently pushed them into despair. Using all
of their connections, they tried to find out who the person was, but to no avail. One could only imagine
how powerful the person in the shadows was.
Only then did the West and Edwards Families realize that they really messed with someone whom they
were not supposed to. They did not even know who they had offended even after reflecting on their
actions. However, they suddenly recalled that Harry seemed to have mentioned something. Believing
that he could know something, they hurried to his house to ask him.
“My dear son-inw,e out now! Only you can save the West Family. Please, I’m begging you!”
Peter anxiously banged on the door, but he did not receive any response.
He knew that Harry was at home, so thetter must have known that they were at the door to beg for his
help. After all, without the owner’s permission, that group of people would not have been granted entry
into the housing area.
Victoria was flustered as well. If the Edwards Family fell, she would still have her family. Now, even her
own family had fallen—she lost everything in two weeks. Sarah and Harry would have known who the
person behind the chaos was, but they refused to open the door!
They initially came to ask for help, but when the upants inside refused to open the door, their begs
turned into yells and screaming in front of the door. They were so loud that the entire housing area could
hear them.
Victoria and the Edwards Family’s bunch of middle-aged women blocked the door and cursed like
shrews, “Sarah, are you partnering up with someone else to frame us? You b*tch, you should suffer a
tormented death!”
“Come out now! You even harmed your father! Are you even a human?”
“It would have been better for the West Family to rear a dog than to raise you!”
“B*tch,e out now!”
After rebuking for half a day, Sarah poked her head out from the second floor window and viciously
cursed, “F*ck you!”
Then, she mmed the window shut, refusing to appear no matter how loud they scolded her.
Harry, who knew that they were here, had intentionally allowed them into the housing area.
Nevertheless, after they arrived at the door, he refused to show up.
The reason he allowed them to enter was not because he intended to meet them—it was for someone
else to watch.
At that moment, a stout, greasy middle-aged man blended into the crowd and sneaked in. After he
managed to enter the housing area, he stood at the door of Vi No. 8 while snooping around in
suspicion instead of following the rest of the entourage to curse at the door of Vi No. 6.
It’s Vi No. 8— the property in the Imperial that even the riches of the Bayside City would die for, Vi
No. 8! It would be amazing if I get to stay in it for a day!
Unfortunately, the owner of Vi No. 8, Taylor and Sophia, had passed away years ago. If he
remembered it correctly, the property was bequeathed to a kid—Taylor’s son.
Taylor’s rtives all passed away and it seemed like there were no other surviving rtives. After his
passing, no one knew who would be living in Vi No. 8 and the beneficiary—a child—was still a minor
who had no power to make any decisions.
As Taylor’s father-inw, Joe was itching to take action as he had been coveting Vi No. 8. He heard
that after Taylor’s passing, it seemed that the house was temporarily ced under Harry’s care.
However, under thew, as his father-inw, he had the right to inherit the property.
During the normal days, hecked the opportunity to enter the housing area. Today, he was able to
sneak in with the Edwards Family’s troop with the intention to check the condition of Vi No. 8.
After knocking on the door of Vi No. 8, a man with white hair and a mask came out before casting a
cold nce at the suspicious Joe. “Who are you looking for?”
Joe grinned while replying, “I’m Taylor’s father-inw and this is my daughter’s house. I’m here to c-c-
check out—”
As he spoke, his fat figure tried to squeeze in, but the man inside came out before thetter managed to
do so. Bang! The vi’s owner then shut the iron door outside.
The smart door lock only recognized fingerprints and key cards, which caused Joe to be stuck—he was
unable to enter even if he wanted to; he would be locked outside even if his eyes burned a hole in it.
The man came out to walk a pair of dogs on leashes, locking Joe outside the house.
Joe was furious. “Who are you? I’m here to look for my son-inw. Who are you to lock me outside! Y-
You, stand right there!”
Nheless, the man, who had no intention to answer him, left with his dogs.
Michael initially prepared to stay at home for the whole day to apany Carmen, but to his surprise,
she sneaked out after taking her breakfast and seemed to have gone to Cooper’s house to y.
Therefore, Michael came out to walk the dogs and incidentally took Carmen out to have some fun.
Upon seeing that the man with white hair had walked away, Joe stood at the door and scolded for a
while. When he noticed that he was not getting any attention from anyone, he leaned closer to the door
to study it, attempting to enter the vi. However, no matter how hard he knocked on the door, nobody
else came to answer him.
The housing area had been noisy and rowdy since early in the morning, disturbing the neighbors and
causing them toe out to have a look.
In Vi No. 2, Cooper rose to his full height and addressed the crowd, “I have some business to attend to
today. Let’s chat again some other day.”
Since he returned, it would not be difficult to get hold of him. The few people then stood up and prepared
to leave, nning to pay a visit again some other day.
Cooper suddenly uttered, “Since all of you are here, I would like to introduce my daughter to you.”
The news that he had a daughter was widely spread in the Mitchell Family as she even appeared at
Woody’s funeral. Rumors imed that she was extremely hideous, so she only met people with her
mask on.
As everyone was curious about his daughter, they turned their gaze toward the end of the spiral
staircase.

“Dad, are we leaving now?” A pleasant voice was heard, attracting everyone’s gaze to her.
The voice was extremely simr to Sophia’s, but it seemed to have sounded a little different—perhaps it
was because they were biological sisters.
Cooper gently replied, “Yes, we’re leaving.”
Sophia immediately went to get her purse. A whileter, everyone saw a girl slowly walking down the
spiral staircase in her camel-colored wool coat. She was quite slim with medium height. Carrying a
Chanel’s handbag from the recent winter collection, she walked briskly toward the crowd.
She had dazzling gold hair cascading over her shoulder, but her face was wrapped with bandage and
only revealed her eyes.
As expected, she was Lucile—the person whom Stanley met during the blind date.
All he had in his mind at that time during the blind date was to escape, so he did not really take a close
look at her.
When he met her again today, he found that she was indeed Cooper’s daughter, Sophia’s half-sister from
a different mother. She resembled Sophia in her demeanour and gait.
Upon looking at the figure, Stanley sank into deep thoughts.
As Sophia did not expect to see the visitors in the living room, she blinked at them with a hint of shyness,
especially when she spotted Carmen’s pair of fathers and even seemed to feel a little awkward.
Cooper introduced them to her one by one. “This is your cousin, Sean. This is Stanley, the person whom
you had a blind date with. This is my childhood friend, Sam.”
Upon looking at the few people, she held out her hand and greeted, “Hello.”
As she forgot to wear gloves, her hand was full of scars that most people would feel unbearable to look
at. She had no choice but to awkwardly use her left hand to shake hands with them while subconsciously
hiding her right hand under her sleeve.
Of course, the few people had noticed her injured hand, but did not ask any questions.
Suddenly, Carmen dashed out from behind Sophia and hugged Stanley’s leg. “Stan, hugs!”
Stan? Not ‘daddy’?
