Chapter 1188
Looking aloof and indifferent, the young man pressed his lips together without saying a word. He took a
few steps forward and made his way to the midst of the crowd of the Mitchells’ elders, who then
surrounded and scolded him. Alex even demanded his life, thinking that he was the murderer who had
killed his son, Derek.
The passersby also looked at the young man.
Wait a minute. Isn’t the man none other than…
Suspecting that they had made a mistake, the onlooking crowd took out their cell phones and searched
for the news photos topare the person in the photos with the man before them.
As expected, they’re exactly alike! That’s him!
The young man wearing a white winter coat didn’t speak, as if he could say nothing in his defense. He
simply looked at Alex, who cried so hard that he almost copsed.
Alex was almost 70 years old, and he was greying at the temples. Yet, he lost his son in his old age,
which was indeed a tragedy in his life. He cried so sorrowfully that his hair seemed to have grayed a
little. He beat the young man, looking as if he was hanging from thetter’s body.
“Give my son and daughter back to me, you bunch of murderers!” He even raised his hand and pped
the young man in a fit of grief.
The young man looked coldly at Alex and the Mitchells just like that, without saying a word from
beginning to end. His face still had the fake blood Sandra had rubbed on him, making him look very
wretched.
The Mitchells’ elders seemed to have their eyes on the young man. They dragged him to the front of
Derek’s memorial tablet, demanding him to kneel down before Derek’s grave. The young man didn’t
resist despite being pushed around and yelled at. He walked up to Derek’s memorial tablet before being
forced to kneel down.
They seemed to believe that the young man was the murderer who had killed Derek, so they were
incredibly excited. They felt as if they had gotten something on Cooper and could bring him down very
soon.
“Come out, Cooper! Now that your men killed someone in public, what else can you say?!”
“Cooper, you disrespected your elders and betrayed the Mitchells back then; now, you even ordered one
of your men to kill someone in public. Come out and give us an exnation!”
“Come out! Don’t think that you can hide for the rest of your life!”
The Mitchells held down the young man as he kneeled on the floor. Even so, the young man still
straightened his back and looked straight at Derek’s memorial tablet as well as the ck-and-white
photo on it.
The Mitchells were so excited that they didn’t notice something was wrong, nor did they notice that the
onlooking crowd’s mood had changed.
Sandra was still lying on the floor and ying dead as fake blood was sttered all over the floor. Alex
cried so hard that he wore himself out and was supported by those next to him. The younger generation
of the Mitchells wore deep mourning and kneeled on the floor while the Mitchells’ aged elders shouted
abuses downstairs.
Everyone seemed very excited as they stared at Sophia and the top of the building, where Cooper was
at. “Cooper, if you still don’te down, we’ll go up and catch you to make you pay for Derek’s death
with your life.”
No one cared about the young man in the white winter coat, who was kneeling on the floor. Their target
was Cooper, not him.
He couldn’t helpughing as he rubbed the fake blood covering his hands on his white winter coat.
The onlooking crowd held their cell phones while taking videos of the scene. Still kneeling on the floor,
the younger Mitchells who dressed in deep mourning looked up asionally to see the young man’s
face and the ck-and-white photo on Derek’s memorial tablet. Afterparing the two faces, they were
immediately bbergasted.
The young man in the white winter coat is Derek!
Derek didn’t die at all!
At this moment, Derek couldn’t helpughing as he kneeled on his knees with his back straightened. The
onlooking outsiders and some of the Mitchells had apparently discovered his identity. However, the
Mitchells were very immersed in the atmosphere, and Alex and Sandra had just been brought into their
characters, so it wasn’t convenient for them to disturb these people.
Some Mitchells, who still wanted to save face, had quietly torn off their family emblem and sneaked
away.
The onlooking crowd stood idly by and continued watching the spectacle. None of them reminded the
Mitchells since what was happening in front of them wasn’t of their personal interest.
Some people, including Sophia, stood aside and watched the spectacle quietly to see when the Mitchells
would finally realize something was wrong.

Alex and Sandra were obviously unaware that they had madeughing stocks out of themselves. They
were still hamming it up, thinking that they had dragged Cooper into the mire.
The Mitchells even started to spit at the entrance!
They are truly incredible.
Finally, Cooper showed up amid the Mitchells’ elders’ curses.
Cooper dressed very formally on this day since he was here for the meeting. Wearing a scrupulous ck
business suit under a ck windbreaker to keep warm, he still looked incredibly young and was still at
the peak of his handsomeness with his incredibly youthful looks. He looked cool, charming, and
mysterious as he strode toward the crowd.
Compared to the old and doddering Alex, who had made a spectacle of himself, Cooper was divinely
handsome.
Cooper showed up with Michael on his left and Linus on his right. Their handsome looks caused
screams of excitement to be heard among the crowd the instant they appeared.
Michael felt that he looked less imposing when he was walking beside his young-looking father-inw.
Cooper rarely showed himself in public since he consistently kept a low profile and was secretive. During
the second episode of ‘Where Are We Going, Dad?’, the filming crew came to their home to film the
changes at their home after they joined the show. Cooper and the piglet appeared on-screen for only two
seconds, and the episode’s viewership skyrocketed.
Because of that, Cooper was called ‘Cethos’ most handsome grandfather’ and ‘the grandfather whom
every Cethosian dreamed of having’!
Seeing that Cooper showed up, Alex pounced on him at once. “Give my son back to me, Cooper!”
Cooper looked at Alex expressionlessly with a flicker in his eyes. Just when Alex wasing at him,
Dimon kicked him on the spot and sent him flying. This could be considered an act of revenge for what
had happened on Edwards Ind.
“Wow!” Everyone was shocked.
Alex was kicked so hard that he fell onto the floor and couldn’t get up for a long time. Also, he naturally
began to bawl, “Help me, please! Someone’s trying to kill me!”
The few elders wanted to stop Cooper, but they didn’t expect him to be surrounded by many expert
fighters. After being red at, they dared not move forward, for they were truly scared that Cooper would
have them kicked and sent flying.
Cooper walked into the center of themotion before ncing at the younger Mitchells, who wore
deep mourning and pretended to mourn for the dead. After that, he turned his gaze first to Sandra—who
was ying dead—then to Alex, who was bawling tearlessly while lying on the floor. Then, he looked at
the so-called elders, who prided themselves on their seniority and were sharp-tongued but didn’t look like
elders at all.
The sight of the scene grieved him so much that he heaved a long sigh. After looking around the scene,
he said, “The glory that the Mitchells enjoy today is the result of our forefathers’ sacrifices. Back when
our country was faced with a crisis, everyone was fighting against foreign intruders. The Mitchells never
fell behind anyone else in donating money and volunteering themselves. They’d rather die on the
battlefield to defend our country’s borders or perish under the intruding foreigners’ tyrannical rule than
die in exile like a coward! How many members of the Mitchells’ older generations have died for us to
enjoy our glory today? If they learned that you all trampled on the honor they fought for using their own
lives just like this…”
He could no longer continue his speech at this point, and some younger Mitchells who had a sense of
shame hung their heads.
Cooper swiftly and sternly strode past the fake-bawling Alex, who suddenly reached out and grabbed
Cooper’s leg. “You killed my son, so give me back my son!”
Seeing the way Alex looked, Cooper fiercely stepped on his hand.
It disgusted him to even take a nce at this man!
Alex grabbed his hand and rolled on the ground after being stepped on. “Help! Someone’s trying to kill
me!”
Meanwhile, Sean and Sophia had helped up the kneeling Derek.
Derek felt rxed all over after kneeling this time. From this day onward, Derek, the son of Alex, had
died for good.
Now, he was no longer rted to Alex!
