Chapter 1312
Upon hearing their conversation, Sohpia immediately understood the situation.
The Mitchells’ ancestral house was situated at the center of Bayside City’s old city area. Back then, it
was a pce for the prince due to its close distance to the royal pce, so that piece ofnd and the
community behind it had a high value. Even if Henry and Ryan wanted to develop thend, they
definitely did not have the financial affordability.
Therefore, they could only do it through apany by presenting a n for real estate development to
buy the house.
However, the Yard Group was a foreign-registeredpany, so it was troublesome for them to transfer
the funds over. It would be faster to retrieve the funds from the Edwards Group since they had already
reced Lucy as the person in charge.

That also meant that after transferring ownership of the house to Henry, Sandra would not necessarily
receive a penny for the payment. If their n was rejected, they would not be able to collect the money.
The moment Henry realized that his n was rejected, his smug face instantly turned furious to the
point where Sophia felt that his facial muscles easily cramped.
“Lucy, stop! How dare you reject my n! You and this b*tch, Sophia, must be working together!”
By then, Lucy had already entered her car, but when she heard Henry’s words, she coldly returned and
continuously threw a few documents and newspapers at him.
Her voice was rather calm, but every word of hers sounded like a sharp de that no one dared to
refute. “The board and I rejected your n because thisnd was once Bayside City’s old city area.
There are a few pces from the ancient empire nearby and due to the many cultural relics here, it
poses a higher research value. Thisnd and a few nearby streets has long been forbidden from being
demolished and developed. The pce in front of you here is the private residence of the politically
powerful Prince rd. It is the most preserved pce in Bayside City at the moment, so it has long
been included in the national culture protection list. Even though it is the private residence of the
Mitchell Family, it is still an important relic that is protected under the official seal of the Bayside City
Cultural Department. This is why your development n isn’t profitable at all. You are only spending
money to buy a first ss national relic that can’t bemercially developed. If you don’t believe me,
here are the relevant documents and news reports.”
Sophia was shocked by Lucy’s exnation. Looks like I need to quickly brush up on my knowledge of
history. I only think that the house looks good, but I’m surprised that it has such a colorful background!
Members of the Mitchell Family continued to speak out and shared the history during that period with
everyone
“She’s right. There are now only a dozen pces in Bayside City—most of which are nationalized as
the office for functional departments. However, our ancestral house was given special permission by
the country back then to be owned privately.”
“Back when the Yard Family colluded with outsiders to invade Bayside City, you upied all the
pces and even deliberately bombarded them using artillery. You took whatever you could and
smashed the ones you couldn’t. This pce belonged to the Mitchell Family since then because our
ancestors fought hard to defend our home from the rampaging outsiders. That’s why the house is the
most perfectly preserved pce in the entire Bayside City!”
“We’ve been living here for a century. Back then, you couldn’t snatch it away from us, so don’t even try
doing it now. If you dare to demolish our house, we’ll head to the cultural department and sue you!”
Upon hearing all the points, Sophia suddenly had a newfound respect. I can’t believe that this ce
has such a glorious past!
However, Henry, Sandra and the others looked more upset. I can’t believe this sh*tty house is a relic!
No wonder it was so difficult for us to transfer it! We’ve used a lot of money to bribe our way so that it
could work!
Of course, the money mostly came agonizingly from Sandra. Initially, she thought that after the
development n for the Mitchells’ ancestral house was epted, the funds woulde and she
would soon receive the payment. I just never expected…
However, nobody cared where it was really a relic or not because in Henry and Ryan’s eyes, it was just
a matter of time before they bought it!
Sure enough, the two of them were having none of it. If Lucy won’t let us buy it, we’ll still buy it!
“Do you really think you can stop me from buying the ce? Lucy, who do you think you are?”
However, Lucy was not in the mood to quarrel with them as she had only swung by today to take a
look.
She turned and returned to her car while ignoring what Henry said. Withouting out again, the car
immediately left.
Upon hearing that the Yard Family were nning to buy the ancestral house to build an office building,
many of the Mitchells gathered, causing the entrance to be flooded with people. However, the sign with
the words ‘Mitchells and dogs are forbidden from entering’ was so hurtful to the eyes that someone
went up and trampled it.
As soon as Lucy was gone, the Mitchells swarmed into the house. Inside the house, Henry and Ryan
had only brought a few dozen men who resembled chickens because they were not a match against
the Mitchells in terms of numbers.
As soon as Henry realized the numbers of the opposition, he finally threw in the towel and stepped
backward while his whole body started to perspire.
Then, Sophia strode in and waved her hand. “Come and throw these things out!”
Everyone from the Mitchell Family roared and rushed forward. In a blink of an eye, they surrounded the
others.
Although Sandra’s expression had drastically changed, she still managed to maintain herst dignity as
she shouted, “What are you all doing? I’m still the head of the Mitchell Family and the president of
Mitchell’s Technology, which makes me someone with a higher status. If you dare to touch me, I’ll call
the police. There are now rules in society and what you are doing is illegal!”
However, Sophia sneered coldly. “Not only did you try to illegally sell a first ss national relic, you
even tried to poison your own younger brother. Where were your so-called rules then?”
The moment Sophia mentioned about a younger brother being poisoned, Sandra suddenly found an
excuse to buy her way out and yelled, “You killed my little brother, Al. Now, we can’t even locate his
body. I want to sue you and send you to prison!”
As soon as she finished her words, a childish voice was suddenly heard from the crowd. “You are lying.
I’m not dead. I’m actually quite alive!”
Albert walked out and tried his best to be strict with a straight back. “Dad left this house for me. You
don’t have the right to sell it!”
After that, the pump of air in his chest seemed to have disappeared as he turned and hid behind Derek.
Not only did Alex’s will state that the house was reserved for Albert and the Mitchell Family, but the
ancestors even set a rule saying that the house could never be sold. Yet, it did not stop Sandra from
being greedy, so she forged Albert’s death certificate, making her as Alex’s only heir. After she received
the house, she secretly sold it to Henry. Of course, since Henry and Ryan were not capable of buying
the house, all of the documents were also forged.
Even though the entire procedure was illegal, she was confident that no one would dare to question it
as long as the house was in the hands of the Yard Family. What else can Cooper and Sophia do? Steal
the house from the Yard Family?
However, the moment she saw Albert, she was so scared that she stepped back and almost fell onto
the ground. I fed him the poison myself. It’s impossible for him to be alive! But now, he’s alive and well!
I’ve seen a ghost!
“I-It’s impossible.” Sandra muttered. “He is not Albert!”
When Sophia gazed at Sandra’s pale face, she lost the desire to kick thetter.
She wanted to leave Sandra to someone who had a stronger desire to kill her.
