Chapter 1429


    Cooper personally initiated the project following Cade’s cryopreservation, determined to find a cure for


    him as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Anna and Callum had gone back to Ronney Town.


    As of this moment, they were about to go through the most important stage of their ns. Even if


    Cade’s cryopreservation meant he would be absent from all this, Anna and Callum knew they had to


    soldier through somehow.


    They knew that their freedom was at stake, and they had to seed no matter what.


    They had been fighting and toiling hard for over twenty years just so they could see this through to the


    end.


    All the work they’d put in for the past two decades now boiled down to the moment when they could


    finish this once and for all.


    Cooper went along with them to lend his support.


    Furthermore, the spies that had been nted around Jordaine had gotten first-hand intel with regards


    to thetter’s every move, and had reported the same to Anna.


    It turned out that Jordaine had decided to deal her final blow after all.


    Back then, upon discovering that Cooper’s gic sample was stored within Marks Cryobank, Jordan


    instructed Jordaine to swap Cooper’s sample with his instead.


    If everything had gone as nned, Cooper would have taken out Jordan’s sample instead when the


    time came for him to want children of his own. He’d bepletely oblivious to the fact that he would be


    raising not his biological children, but Jordan’s.


    By then, Jordan’s children would be the ones who stood to inherit Cooper’s estate.


    The entire scheme was devious and disgusting.


    Thankfully, the ident that ured after that had ‘killed’ Cooper, and the gic sample remained


    unimed.


    Jordaine had done everything as she was told. She’d taken out Cooper’s gic sample from the


    cryobank and reced it with Jordan’s.


    She kept Cooper’s sample afterward. Jordan had nned to use Cooper’s gic sample for more of


    his wicked schemes; he’d even nned to make millions of clones out of the sample, thereby


    cultivating a Cooper Mitchell army at his own disposal. However, the technology for DNA-cloning had


    not advanced much further since then, and so they had encountered many failures along the way.


    Seeing as making an army out of Cooper’s clones had made no headway, Jordaine stored away the


    gic sample.


    But while Jordaine was doing that, something else happened: Jordan brought another woman home.


    Jordaine had long resented Jordan’s incorrigible womanizing habits, but she had also been resigned to


    that aspect of him. After all, she loved him so much that she was willing to change her name for him.


    She’d been well aware of the fact that Jordan was akin to an emperor. He adored her the most, and all


    the other women were just meaningless flings.


    All Jordaine needed was time to prove that she was his one true love, and that she was different from


    all the other women. While the other women lusted after Jordan’s power and money, Jordaine loved


    him for who he truly was. She make him realize that she was the only one with whom he could spend


    the rest of his life with.


    But that was before that wretched woman showed up. Jordaine was wary of her instantly, and for the


    first time, she felt threatened, because Jordan was different when he was with the woman.


    The woman had lost her memory, and Jordan had been with her every step of the way as he taught her


    about the workings of mankind and the rest of the world. He treated her as though she was his own


    child.


    The woman was wary and skittish in the presence of men, to the point that it warranted psychiatric help


    —Jordan was the one who went around looking for a therapist in order to help the woman ovee


    her fears.


    When it was discovered that the woman had no uterus and was thus unable to conceive, Jordan asked


    Jordaine to take out his gic sample from the cryobank. He wanted to undergo IVF so that they


    could conceive a child of their own through surrogacy.


    That woman was Anna Yard.


    Jordaine grew dangerously jealous upon seeing Jordan treating Anna with the kind of love and care


    that he’d extended to no one else.


    As a result, Jordaine swapped out Jordan’s gic sample for Cooper’s before the former underwent


    IVF with Anna. The Yard twins who wereter on conceived through surrogacy were not Jordan’s


    biological sons at all.


    Jordaine had been driven insane by her own jealousy and anger. She wanted to take revenge on


    Jordan. She’d been devoted to him and had convinced herself that only she had ever truly loved him.


    Yet Jordan did not appreciate her and cheated on her practically every night with countless other


    women. Jordaine was infuriated, but she had no choice but to ede to this state of affairs.


    In vengeful spirit, she decided to let Jordan get a taste of his own medicine.


    She also wanted to get rid of Anna once and for all.


    Presently, the perfect opportunity had delivered itself to her doorstep.


    After the news of Marks Cryobank swapping their clients’ gic samples had broken out all over


    Cethos, it caused an outrage overseas. Many clients came forward to withdraw their gic samples,


    and Jordaine, in turn, had managed to rouse up a couple of scapegoats. Marks Group issued an official


    apology and exined that the employees had swapped the gic samples by mistake. As such,


    they were more than willing topensate the clients and would close down the cryobank for good.


    After all, the cryobank hadn’t been making arge profit, and it hadn’t been the main source of revenue


    for Marks Group.


    Upon seeing how things had panned out, Jordaine went along with the flow and investigated the


    matter. She then ‘stumbled upon’ the discovery that the Yard twins weren’t really Jordan’s biological


    children; they’d been conceived out of swapped samples.


    She figured Jordan would surely be furious if he were to find out about this!


    As expected, when he heard the news that his kids were not really his own, Jordan lost his mind. His


    eyes went red, and he wrecked a lot of furniture in a fit of rage—it was Jordaine’s first time seeing him


    like this.


    “I’m sorry, Jordan. This is my fault—all of it. Take it out on me. I deserve it.”


    Jordaine was sobbing dramatically, looking pitiful, while Moore held her in his arms as he cried, “No,


    Mom. This wasn’t your fault. You’d only just taken over Marks Group back then, and I was so young—


    you had far too much on your te. You couldn’t have prevented it.”


    Jordan grew even more frustrated as Jordaine continued to whine and wail; he knew that she might


    have had something to do with this, but he was so ovee with anger that he couldn’t be bothered


    about it.


    All these years, and all he’d done was raise Cooper’s children as his own!


    He gritted his teeth. For twenty years, he’d raised and loved the twins, thinking that they were his and


    Anna’s sons. It turned out that they’d been Cooper’s all along!


    Jordan had poured out his heart and soul into grooming his sons so that they could take over his


    business one day, but as fate would have it, they had never been his sons in the first ce!


    He thought about the wicked scheme he wanted to pull off with Cooper’s gic samples. How the


    tables had turned!


    Jordan left for the airport after hastily giving Jordaine a couple of words of sce.


    He would not live this down.


    He wanted to wrap his hands around Cooper’s neck and strangle the man to death!


    Meanwhile, after knowing that Jordan had boarded the ne, Jordaine wiped away her crocodile tears


    and made coffee for herself.

    Her heart tightened as she tried to work out her own emotions.


    What made her devote herself entirely to Jordan out of the millions of other men in the world?


    Moore, on the other hand, was filled with glee. It was only a matter of time before there would be news


    on Callum and Cade’s death.


    However, it was unlikely that Jordan would put the me on Anna. After all, she had a special ce in


    his heart.


    There was even a chance of him staying by her side forever. Anna, however, might just have to watch


    both her sons die.


    Anna’s sons were an extension of her, so killing them would have the same effect as cutting off her


    limbs—she might not even be able to function as a person after they were gone. Even if Jordan spared


    the twins this time, there was no way he’d let them off the hook for long. He might even use the two


    b*stards to ckmail Cooper.


    While Jordaine and Moore began discussing how they could take over Yard Group after Anna’s


    inevitable defeat following the death of her sons, Dana, who was working undercover as Moore’s


    assistant, was already sending out the intel she’d gathered.


    Jordaine had spent all these years nting her spies around Anna, and naturally, thetter had


    returned the favor. Dana had been deliberately arranged to work for Moore, and Jordan would never


    have realized that the person he thought he’d killed off was hiding right under his nose.


    In Ronney Town, Anna and Cooper received an update from Dana.


    He informed them that Jordan was already on his way.


    It would take a seven- or eight-hour flight for him to get from Jordaine’s ce to Ronney Town.


    Anna was calm upon receiving the news. In fact, she could feel herself getting excited, as though she’d


    been waiting for this moment for the longest of time.


    Cooper and Callum were nking her. The three of them looked as if they were witnessing a pending


    storming from beyond the horizon.


    They felt neither fear nor panic—only adrenaline.


    They’d waited for over twenty years for this.


    “Attack!”
