Chapter 1480


    Chapter 1480 An Illegitimate Child


    Violet was annoyingly awakened in the middle of the night.


    “What the heck do you want, old fart? I’m sleeping! Moreover, I’m pregnant. If something happens to


    me, I won’t spare you.”


    She yelled so loud that the entire household could hear her.


    The old housemaid bowed her head. “I’m sorry, Ms. Violet. Mr. Cooper… asks for you.”


    Mr. Cooper? That illegitimate child?


    Reluctantly, Violet dragged herself downstairs in her pajamas.


    Meanwhile, Gabrie heard the noise and got out of her bedroom on the first floor too.


    When the both of them arrived at the living room, they saw a man with his legs crossed and a lit


    cigarette in between his fingers. Looking grim, his face contorted in wrath, sending shivers down their


    spines.


    “Um… Is there anything?”


    The observant Gabrie could sense that something was very off. Thus, she asked softly.


    Violet remained quiet.


    Edmund snickered at the pair of mother and daughter. “Nope. I’ve called a doctor to bring her to the


    hospital and get rid of what’s in her belly.”


    “What did you say?” Violet lost her temper.


    “What’s this about, Edmund? What right do you have to do that to my baby? It’s mine. What’s it got to


    do with you?” she yelled at the top of her lungs.


    She was very close to calling him a bast*rd and stating that he was in no position to meddle with the


    affairs of the Coopers.


    What a mutt!

    “Are you unwilling to do so? Fine. Let’s talk about the second option then. From now on, leave the


    Cooper residence. Whatever that you do henceforth, be it getting married or cking off your whole


    life, it no longer matters to the Coopers,” Edmund went straight to the point.


    Violet was shocked.


    “Who do you think you are to shoo me out of the house? I’m a real Cooper, unlike you, an illegitimate


    child! Do you know where you stand?”


    “I sure do. Everyone else regards me, the illegitimate child, as the man of the house whereas the rest


    of you are the parasites in the family. Is this reason strong enough for you?”


    Casting the cigarette ashes aside, Edmund said cidly without showing any rage.


    However, each word spoken struck that woman like a p in the face, one after another.


    Instantly, her face turned ugly, and she could not rebut him at all.


    “Just you wait, Edmund! I won’t let this go.”


    In the midst of her fury, Violet said, “Just you wait, Edmund! I won’t let this go.” Subsequently, she


    proudly left the house in her pajamas.


    Seeing that, Gabrie became worried and anxious.


    On the contrary, Edmund was extremely delighted that the biggest parasite in the family had decided to


    leave.


    With that, he called it a day and went back to his room.


    The next morning, Riley found out about the incident.


    Her heart sank right there and then, but she chose to turn a blind eye this time.


    Unexpectedly, the old housemaid approached her.


    “Ms. Riley, this is your ne ticket. Mr. Cooper has instructed me to book you the flight at noon to


    Yorknd. I think you need to pack up soon.”


    “What?” Riley was super surprised.


    Yorknd? Why does he want me to go there out of the blue?


    She had not the slightest idea about this.


    Meanwhile, Edmund arrived at Oceanic Estate, looking for Sebastian early in the morning. What a rare


    asion!


    Sasha asked, “You are… looking for him? Did something happen?”


    Astounded, she assumed that the Coopers had some financial problems.


    At that time, Sebastian came down from upstairs. When he saw his guest, he uttered cidly, “No


    worries, dear. We’ll be at the observation tower. Please bring us some tea.”


    “Oh, sure!”


    Since her husband did not show much response, Sasha went away.


    Momentster at the observation tower…


    The best time to visit the tower was during sunrise when the morning sun gradually emerged from the


    horizon and navigated itself to the sky. As its dazzling ray beamed down on the vast ocean, it


    illuminated the ripples, creating a magnificent sparkly effect on its surface.


    Sebastian picked his seat and then cleared the items on the table.


    Edmund sat opposite him.


    “Sebastian, I’m here today to ask about my… assets. Can I ess them?”


    “What’s up? Need money?” Wearing a poker face, Sebastian gazed at him.


    Feeling rather uneasy, Edmund replied, “Well, not quite. It’s just that… Um… It’s been more than a year


    now. I just wanted to know when can I have them? Is it time yet?”


    While exining briefly, his eyes flickered, revealing the fact that he did have a hidden agenda he was


    yet to talk about.


    The assets parked under the family name of Cooper were actually acquired by Sebastian from


    Jetroina. Back then, he advised Edmund not to touch it, especially when there was chaos in the family


    recently. The Jadesons protected Benedict for the sake of Edmund, in order to shield him from Eddie.


    Due to that, there was a need for him to stash away the money and assets he had attained when he


    was with Eddie.
