Chapter 1352
After being taken away for a week to be investigated, Cooper and Linus finally returned home.
“Dad! Linus!” Sophia gleefully went to wee the two of them.
Upon seeing Sophia sprinting toward him, Cooper opened his arms to catch her.
At this moment, Cooper was filled with a lingering sense of fear.
He had watched the video and had seen his darling daughter stuck in that tiny car, nearly getting
crushed by those two trucks.
“All right. It’s okay. I’m back,” Cooper said softly, hugging Sophia before scooping Carmen up.
For the past week, he had appeared to be at a disadvantage on the surface, but he and Linus had
actually been using this opportunity toy out their ns. Jordan had invested all of his energy in
Bayside City, so it had caught him by surprise when conflict arose in his territories in Europe. It seemed
that the pawn that Cooper had ced there finally proved themself useful.
So, at this very moment, Jordan was in Europe trying to settle the issue.
When he returned home, Cooper saw Theo spread out on the sofa watching ‘The Bright Sword’.
Although Cooper didn’t like it when Theoy on the sofa all day drinking liquor while watching action
films, this time, Theo had done the unexpected by throwing Jordan into the gutter. He had certainly
done well.
Coopermended him. “Theo, you’ve really outdone yourself this time.”
Concentrating on watching Landon McNeil fight against Peace County, Theo answered, “It was
nothing. We should support each other after all.”
It was worth mentioning that the young, dashing man before Cooper was none other than Theo
Fletcher! Thirty years ago, Theo had taken out the drug lord’s base that had been entrenched in the
southwest border for decades!
When he and Tanya got married, he had invited two-thirds of the world’s greatest drug lords to his
wedding, and he had annihted all of them.
He was the one who had turned the Golden Triangle from a poppy farm into a fragrant tea farm.

Later, he had ‘sacrificed’ himself to prevent people from seeking vengeance against his family. Up until
now, he had not revealed his identity, so no one knew about this historical moment and the existence of
Theo Fletcher. All they knew was that the central government had sent a general to wipe out the
Golden Triangle, which many forces had failed to defeat.
And, it went without saying that no one was aware that this general was being intentionally concealed
from the public.
Not to mention, no one would’ve imagined that Mark’s most beloved son, who was once a battle-
hardened general, was currently sitting at home and living a leisurely life picking up his grandchild and
taking his dog on daily walks.
Now, everything was in the past. Of course, it was unknown whether Quinton had personally killed
Clive, or if Cooper had instructed him to do so. Either way, the matter had been dealt with, and the
‘murderer’—who was a habitual offender and a serial murder suspect—had been caught.
Sophia didn’t know how things ended for the Bishop family as it was handled by the Fletchers.
In any case, Sophia would asionally see news about the Bishop family. After stirring up trouble so
often, the public’s initial sympathy for them had started to wane.
Word of them exploiting their daughter to support their son had gotten out. Their son had died, but the
Bishops’ nasty nature had made the public lose theirpassion for them.
After the return of Cooper and his son, the part of Europe that had been constantly giving them trouble
had quietened down. The African headquarters were under control, and Dragon Technology
Corporation continued to operate as usual. Even the officials who hade to inspect thepany’s
taxes, fire protection system, and boiler room had stoppeding. They were finally clear of suspicion.
As for Jordan, not only did he lose an entire support system, Lucy had also gotten rid of many of his
most trusted subordinates, further eliminating his influence in the Edwards Group.
However, Jordan was the person who had caused Sam to lose his chance at the presidency. The
power he held was unthinkable. Even Anna had failed to seed at the n that she had worked on
for two decades. Getting rid of him was not something that could be aplished overnight, but Lucy
was confident that she would witness Jordan’s death someday.
Upon returning, Cooper apanied Carmen to shoot a reality show, but the script of the next few
episodes had been changed from a parent-child science ss to a parent-child national defense ss.
The shooting location had been switched to a military camp, and it was still being broadcasted on the
military channel.
Michael continued to film his new movie at the shooting site while Sophia had begun to work on JNS
Group’s new products for the next season.
Everyone was kept busy.
Besides going to work, Sophia was also attending graduate school, so her hands were considerably
full, but everyone followed suit. They started to work while pursuing a graduate degree on the side,
attending sses every week.
This small group of friends had started their respective businesses when they were still in school. On
the day they were supposed to take their graduation photo, Sophia had disappeared. Shortly after,
Sarah had given birth to Hope. Meanwhile, Stanley and Sean had started a business together.
Needless to say, each of them had encountered their fair share of ups and downs in life.
After so many years had passed, all of their businesses had grown stable, so they all decided to go
back to school to continue with their education.
“Sophia, you can continue to f*cking dawdle. I’m not waiting for you!” Walking on the campus of
Bayside University, Sophia suddenly heard Stanley’s voice. Then, she saw him whizzing past on a
rented ofo—a yellow bicycle that was part of a bicycle-sharing system—as he flew into the depths of
the university.
Sean rode behind him, the two of them speeding off in tandem. Having traded their business suits with
student uniforms, they seemed to appear several years younger.
“Hmph, fine! Don’t wait up!” Sarah muttered beside Sophia.
When Sophia first made the decision to sit for the graduate entrance examination, she had gotten a
vast number of positive responses from her fellow friends. Now that everyone was getting together to
continue their education, Sarah too had decided to pursue a master’s degree in management.
Dressed in in student uniforms and walking around in ts, they were no different from the other
students. It was as if they had gone back to the way they looked in the graduation photo from many
years ago.
It was a pity that Sophia hadpletely lost her memory from that time. She had forgotten how she
grew up and how she struggled but refused to give up hope.
Sarah presented herself like how she used to. With round cheeks framing her face, her features were
made up of double eyelids, huge eyes, a small mouth, and a tiny nose. Dressed in Lolita fashion, she
looked like aic character in real life. Walking amongst the students, she fit right in.
Sophia, on the other hand, looked nothing like her old self. She was a mixed-race child, and she looked
like her mother when she was young. Now, she bore more resemnce to her father; even her
temperament had changed drastically. Her big blue eyes were likerge cosmetic contact lenses.
Sarah stared at those eyes. “Are you going to stick to the same pair of eyes for your entire life? In the
future, do you n to change to the… cornea made out of human flesh?”
A cornea made out of human flesh…
Sophia blinked several times. Her eyes were artificial, as her original ones had long been destroyed. If
not for this pair of artificial corneas, she would be blind now.
“I’ll change if there’s a suitable recement.”
Over the years, she seemed to have gotten ustomed to the artificial corneas in her eyes. It would
feel strange to suddenly change to the ‘cornea made out of human flesh’.
The two walked around the campus, slowly heading toward their sses. Just the act of roaming
around the campus lifted their spirits.
Suddenly, Harry pulled up next to them on an ofo. He was wearing a mask, but they could still tell that it
was him.
“Hey, Old Wolf, what are you doing here?” Sarah hopped onto the bicycle, clearly pleased to see him.
Harry responded, “I’m here to see if you’re cutting sses.”
As he spoke, he turned back to see if Sarah was properly seated before riding off.
“We’ll see you in ss, Sofie!” Sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, Sarah waved happily at Sophia.
Sophia shook her head. They’re so affectionate, even at this age!
