Chapter 1076
When Louis spoke of that harp, Sophia subconsciously turned to look at it. The harp looked unique and
sounded very pleasing to the ears as well.
But no matter how beautiful it was, it belonged to somebody else. So, she hurriedly refused. “No need. I
don’t know how to y the harp either. This youngdy here should keep it instead.”
While they were talking about the harp, the girl named Anne nervously nced at her harp. It was clear
that she didn’t want to lose her favorite instrument, and Sophia did not know how to y the harp either,
so giving it to her would be pointless.
Anne nced at Sophia with resentment in her eyes, as if Sophia was the one who had deliberately
snatched her harp away from her. It made Sophia fidget around fretfully.
But then Louis insisted again and again, “It’s just a harp. There are so many of them in our house. I’ve
decided to give it to you, so you shouldn’t refuse! If you refuse, it means you look down on me.”
Getting up, he took the brush and, with a flourish, wrote ‘Sophia Edwards’ on the harp, signifying that it
was hers from now on.
At this very moment, Sophia could no longer refuse since her name was already written on it.
“Grandpa, this is a Phoenix Harp that is priceless…” Anne bit her lower lip. She was obviously filled with
hatred, but she couldn’t express any of it.
How can such a precious thing be given away! And to a random person to boot!
This Sophia Edwards… She is not worthy enough to own this harp! This Phoenix Harp has such an
extraordinary history that she’ll probably be shocked to death.
Louis knew the value of this harp, and it was precisely because he knew it that he wanted to give it away.
“It’s just a harp. You have so many harps, so you won’t miss this one anyway,” said Louis as he put away
his brush.
Besides, most of these harps were not Anne’s. Instead, they were part of Louis’s collection, so he was
free to give them to anyone he pleased.
Since her name was already written, Sophia had no choice but to ept. She said, “Thank you, Mr.
Osborne.”
Louis smiled and stroked his white beard, looking very satisfied.
Michael spent time with his elderly fan in Audistin for the whole day and only left after dinner.
When he left, he also had that harp packed up and taken away.
In Louis’s car, Anne remained depressed and did not speak.
Louis knew that she was angry, but the harp had never been hers in the first ce. It was obtained by
Louis from Anne’s aunt and had been in his showroom all this time. Since Anne loved to y the harp,
she had been excited about seeing this particr one and had borrowed it to y.
For this visit to Cethos, apart from holding a private art exhibition, Louis had another motive too. Knowing
that his idol was divorced, he had quickly brought his young and beautiful granddaughter on the trip. He
thought that if he was lucky, he would be able to be a family with his idol through his
granddaughter’s marriage.
Unexpectedly, Michael didn’t get divorced, and his wife even showed up, so Louis’s idea of bing a
family with his idol through his granddaughter’s marriage was aplete flop.
Anne was good at ying the harp. At a young age, she was already much aplished. Initially, Louis
was very confident in her, but now, he waspletely powerless to do anything.

“Okay, don’t be angry. There are many good men in Cethos. I’ll introduce you to better ones someday,”
Louisforted. He had bragged about Michael before and praised his little idol to high heavens before
Anne. So, the girl was also looking forward to meeting Michael, but unexpectedly…
Although Anne was angry, she couldn’t help but be intoxicated by the thought of Michael’s gorgeous
looks.
She had fallen in love with Michael at first sight. The man in real life was more charming than on screen.
It was like a subject in a spectacr paintinging to life or a prince right out of a fairytale. He was
both domineering yet tender, gentle yet strong. She especially liked his role as Leporello and was
fascinated by his acting. In fact, she did not expect the real man to be more charming than the role he
yed on screen.
But unexpectedly, he didn’t get a divorce…
How could that pleb Sophia Edwards be worthy of him! Sophia looked like a halfie b*stard. That woman
could never match up to Anne herself, who had such an elegant charm and sweetness about her. For
Sophia to be with Michael was an outrage.
A man like Michael deserved to be matched with a gentle and elegant beauty like Anne herself. She had
an artistic temperament and came from a great family. Together, they were a perfect match made in
heaven.
But now, everything was gone. Even her favorite harp was gone.
However, she also knew that it was not her own harp, so Louis had the final say. She could do nothing
about it other than being upset!
…
On the same day at the Fletcher Residence.
Linus stood outside the militarypound, looking at the main entrance that was heavily guarded. He
stopped in his tracks without going forward any further.
“Linus, why aren’t you moving?”
Today, Cooper had officially brought his son Linus to visit Mark Fletcher.
However, Linus stood outside the militarypound without entering. So, Cooper had hurriedly asked
him why.
“Dad, you go in. I’ll wait for you in the car.” With that, Linus turned around and got back into the car.
Cooper knew why his son didn’t want to go in. He sighed and said, “Then you wait for me in the car for a
while. If you can’t wait, go to your sister’s house first.”
He had nned to bring Linus to see Mark, then go to Sophia’s ce to have dinner and spend the night
before returning to Riverdale tomorrow morning.
After all, he hadn’t seen his little sweetheart for about three or four days now, and he really missed her!
Since Linus didn’t want to go in, Cooper didn’t force him to and went in by himself.
The militarypound was still the same as before with its extremely tight security. Even the ck dogs
brought by Cooper had to be checked several times. There was a persistent fear that someone would
attempt to steal military secrets given the chance. After all, this was a military powerhouse.
But what they didn’t know was that Linus had sent in his high-tech equipment before and stole some
secrets of the Fletcher Family from within.
That was why he was too ashamed to see Mark.
In the car, Linus handled his work using aptop, while Luckyy by his feet obediently.
Lucky was a stray dog that Linus had picked up when he went to a farm just outside the city to pick
strawberries. It was a big and yellow dog which Linus liked very much. He even had Lucky styled by a
groomer and made several beautiful cors for it.
Lucky was also brilliant; it was actually the smartest dog in their family. Even the most mischievous
Judge did not dare to bully Lucky. If it offended Lucky, it would only meet a tragic end.
Right now, Lucky seemed to sense its owner’s dejection and ced its head on Linus’sp, then raised
its eyes to look at him.
Linus touched Lucky’s head and smiled slightly.
I shouldn’t have done all those in the past…
Back then, he was too young and didn’t know much. He was in his early twenties and eager for quick
sess and instant gratification. Indeed, hecked control and judgment while doing things back then.
Linus didn’t expect that things would develop this way. He turned out to be Cooper’s son and now had to
face Mark with a different identity.
Unfortunately, what was done was done, and there was no use crying over spilled milk.
To his surprise, Linus suddenly heard Cooper calling his name outside. He raised his head and saw
Cooper and Mark walking side by side. Mark was very old and was on crutches, but he was still very
energetic.
“Little muffin, if you won’te to see me, then I’ll have toe to see you!”
Mark was very enthusiastic. No wonder the young man next to Cooper has always looked very pleasing
to the eye! Turns out that he’s Sophia’s twin brother.
Such a fate!
“Old Master Fletcher…”
Linus was rather startled, for he didn’t expect that Old Master Fletcher woulde out personally to
meet him. ttered, he hurriedly got out of the car to greet him.
At this moment, he felt even more guilty for what he had done.
