Chapter 1254
As a matter of fact, Cooper came to visit the graves of Annabel and the Johnson Family ancestors.
Although Annabel’s grave had been moved, as a son-inw of the family, Cooper still insisted on
coming to visit every year.
He didn’t expect to see Anna and her sons right after getting out of the car.
“Anna… What are you guys doing here?”
At that moment, Michael was also shocked to see them.
What was Anna doing here?
Seeing the strange turn of events, Callumughed awkwardly. “What a coincidence. We were just
surveying the area to see if we can invest in building a factory here or something.”
Cooper stared at them and realized that something was wrong. When he saw how pale Anna’s face
was, he asked with concern, “Anna, are you alright? You don’t look well.”
Shaking her head slightly, Anna said, “I’m fine, it’s just a little motion sickness.”
Upon hearing that, he didn’t ask anymore and said, “We’re here to visit the graves of my parents-inw.
They used to live in the valley, and they were the only residents there.” As he spoke, he also gestured
with his head in the direction of the very ce she had just visited.
Without showing any change of expression, she responded, “What a coincidence.”
At that moment , Carmen hopped over and hugged Anna. “Miss Beautiful!”
Then, the two groups of people exchanged greetings before they went their separate ways.
While Anna and the rest drove back to the city, Sophia and her family went up to the hill to visit and
clean the graves of Annabel’s parents.
As a matter of fact, the old Johnson couple’s graves were rarely cleaned. It was impossible that their
two sons woulde, so Cooper woulde by once a year to visit and clean the gravesite.
When they wereing down from the hill, Cooper had a grim expression on his face as he nced at
Michael beside him, who seemed like there was something he wanted to say as well.
At that moment, the both of them made a wild guess that Anna’s memories hade back.
Sophia was also brainwashed and no longer remembered anything at all from her past, but this might
not necessarily be the case for Anna.
Clearly, she didn’t show up here because she wanted to run a factory. Rather, she must have
remembered something from her past and came over to take a look. This was her hometown where
she had lived for years after all.
Phantom Wolf’s master, Leon Yard, was the one who experimented with the Yard Family’s
Brainwashing theory and wiped out Annabel’s memories thirty years ago. However, at that time, his
theories weren’t well-developed yet and the equipment he used wasn’t advanced enough. To make a
bold assumption, it was very likely that the effects had rebounded!
With this assumption, Cooper secretly rejoiced.
His Anna wasing back!
However, Anna, on the other hand, felt rather odd.
Everything that came to her mind didn’t just appear out of thin air. If anything, she must have lived in
Johnson Family Vige thirty years ago.
Callum was the first to connect the dots. He knew that what Anna was experiencing was absolutely no
ident.
Without missing a beat, he searched and gathered information about Cooper and histe wife Annabel.
However, Cooper did a good job of keeping Annabel’s information confidential. The most Callum could
find was a couple of blurry photos from the inte, while Cade only found Annabel’s birth year.
Despite that, it was enough data to discover important information.
“Cooper and Annabel were born in the same year, and they became parents at eighteen!” Cade
eximed in disbelief.
Usually, sessful figures like Cooper generally marriedter in life. He was in his forties now, and
others like him were still single.
Who would have expected that not only did he find love so early in his life, but he also became a parent
at such a young age!
Based on calctions, Sophia was actually older than they thought. All along, Cade had assumed that
she was younger than them.
At that moment, Callum stared at the numbers that seemed to have nothing to do with each other, but
in fact, there were secrets hidden between the lines.
About twenty or thirty years ago, Cooper and Annabel fell in love. Sheter gave birth to a pair of twin
boys and died of amniotic fluid embolism. Before her death, her uterus was surgically removed.
Not long after her death, Jordan informed Louis that his daughter, Anna, had been found but for various
reasons, she had lost twenty years of her memories. He also told him that she was born without a
uterus and as such, was unable to conceive.
When Anna was younger, she looked very simr to Annabel.
While Annabel was born in the Johnson Family Vige, Anna was given away to the local vigers to
raise at the nearby train station.
In other words…
At once, Callum and Cade exchanged looks and saw pure shock in each other’s eyes.
If Anna really was Annabel, then this wasn’t just between Cooper and her anymore.
Among the Yard descendants, there were another pair of twin boys.
On top of that, Sophia and Linus had the Michel Group, Mitchell Family, and Fletcher Family to back
them. If they were to take over…
No, don’t even think about it!
They haven’t even gotten rid of Jordan yet, and now a pair of twins had entered the picture. The
situation just became more chaotic.
They realized that Cooper must have known too. That would exin why he always choked up
whenever he saw Anna—it was because she was Annabel herself!
Despite that, Cooper never pointed it out. Meanwhile, Callum and Cade didn’t want to expose it
themselves either. After all, this concerned the inheritance of the Yard Family properties. ording to
the rules, mixed-raced children did not have the rights to any of the inheritance. However, Cooper,
Linus, or Sophia could intervene and take over just like Jordan did back then.
In fact, they were very curious about what happened back then.
……
That night, Cooper gathered his son and son-inw and had a discussion.
Michael and Linus also agreed that there was a possibility that Anna could have really remembered
something. After all, the facilities from twenty to thirty years ago were indeed not advanced enough for
that type of procedure. As such, there was a good chance that the effect had rebounded.

Now, they could only y by ear.
Whether Anna’s memories came back or not, Michael remained alert.
Even if she did remember everything, it had been close to thirty years after all. In such a long period of
time, it was enough to change a person. Certainly, it would be foolish to deny the fact that a kind
person could be ruthless and cruel in thirty years.
That night, they stayed in town before returning to the city center the next day.
After arriving home and having lunch, they left again shortly to the Fletcher Residence.
As soon as they stepped in, Michael sensed the odd atmosphere, as if everyone was looking at him
and Celine in a peculiar way.
Stanley had alsoe back yesterday and brought Maisie along with him.
When he bumped into the Fletcher Family while visiting their ancestors’ graves yesterday, he came
back with them. He also brought Maisie with him to introduce her to them. After a hugemotion, the
Fletcher family finally epted him again.
When Stanley saw Michael and the rest, he had an indescribably strange look too.
“What’s wrong with your eyes, Stanley? What are you smoking?” Sophia went up and patted his
shoulder. With an awkward expression, Stanley didn’t know how to tell her but Maisie babbled, “Uncle
Michael, they’re saying your Daddy came back.”
Michael’s Daddy?
Theo Fletcher?
Hasn’t he been dead for years?
Sophia was puzzled.
After letting out a strangeugh, Stanley quickly ran away with Maisie.
Michael fell silent, looking stern. Then, he saw Mark, who was sighing deeply with his eyebrows tightly
knitted. Although he was already over a hundred years old, he looked like he had gotten much older.
Upon seeing Michael and Celine, he sighed again. “Go and talk to him, both of you. I’m running out of
ideas, and only you would know how to cheer him up.”
Just then, Michael had an ominous premonition. “Who?”
To which, Mark looked out the window.
At a garden pavilion that wasn’t too far from them, there was a man wearing a military coat. Everyone
had seen him when he came, and he had been sitting there motionlessly for a long time.
Michael went out to take a look. When his gazended on that man, he couldn’t look away.
As Michael slowly approached him, his heart raced and he was afraid to even breathe. With widened
eyes, he looked closely at the man in the military coat. He looked rather young, about thirty years old or
less, but he had a handsome face that looked exactly like Theo Fletcher!
