    Chapter 1162 They Are All I have Left


    Cooper turned around and looked down at Sally. “You still have your father and family, but I don''t.

    Those two are all I have left. Now that Genev is gone, what use am I if I can''t even protect them?”


    Sally didn''t apologize, for she knew that Cooper would loathe it.


    “This is yourst chance. If I''m the only one contributing to this rtionship and you fail to keep your


    promise again, there''s no point in continuing our coboration.”


    After a brief pause, Cooper added in an icy tone, “If I end up losing something, I won''t let you off easy


    either.”


    “I understand,” Sally replied with a lowered gaze.


    Ever since Cooper rescued her from the police station, she was cognizant of everything he had done


    for her. All she had to do in return was to care for the two children.


    It was a deal that was clearly in her favor.


    After spending an exhrating day at Disnend and watching the fireworks at night, Amanda fell


    asleep on Cooper''s shoulder.


    Since it was inconvenient to return to Baykeep sote at night, Cooper decided to put everyone up at a


    hotel in Disnend.


    The next day, they went sightseeing around Xedells before returning to Baykeep in the afternoon.


    After they got home, the children yed in the living room while Cooper and Sally talked by the


    window. “You haven''t told me about your father''s case.”


    After ncing in the direction of the living room, Sally rted everything to Cooper.


    Upon hearing the whole story, he couldn''t resist mocking, “Why would an army officer send a young girl


    home? I can''t tell if your father was a careless idiot or a well-intentioned fool.”


    “A daughter of my father''s subordinate was followed on her way home and subsequently raped,” Sally


    exined. “In order to exact revenge, the subordinate killed the rapist but was sentenced to death


    because of it. Ever since then, Dad felt bad about what happened to them. That was why my father


    relented and sent Nte home when she told him that she was being followed.”


    After a brief pause, Sally continued, “He also said that he felt sleepy in the car and took a nap. Never


    once did he set foot in Nte''s ce.”


    “What about the driver?” Cooper inquired.


    “He''s still in aa.” Sally borated, “After dropping Nte off, the driver was hit by a drunk driver at


    high speeds. His car was totaled, while the doctor says that chances of him regaining consciousness


    are slim.”


    “Running into a crazy drunk driver after dropping her off can''t just be a mere coincidence.” Cooper


    sniggered as he lit himself a cigarette.


    After taking two puffs, he asked Sally, “Did youe to Baykeep in search of Nte?”


    “Mmm-hmm.” Sally looked out the window with her arms folded. “She probably knows what really


    happened. The only reason the perpetrator hasn''t killed her yet is to avoid raising any suspicion.”


    Cooper remarked, “Even if you tell her that, she might not be willing to tell you the truth.”


    “I still have to try.” Leaning against the window, Sally faced Cooper as she spoke. “Someone must have


    ckmailed her into framing my father. That''s the only reason why she dared to do it despite knowing


    my father''s position. Your nephew is aputer expert, so there''s a high chance this deal might


    seed.”


    “Ms. Loake, sometimes, being overconfident isn''t a good thing.” Cooper furrowed his brows as he


    added, “Besides, my nephew isn''t your employee.”


    Sally shed a smile. “He loves helicopters. I''m willing to teach him how to fly one.”


    She then pulled Cooper''s wrist over to check the time. “Let''s go. We need to get you a new set of


    clothes. Your current outfit isn''t suitable for visiting a bar.”


    Cooper''s eyes narrowed at her words. “Since when did I agree to do that?”


    “I''ve been informed that Nte''s dorm mate is celebrating her birthday in a bar tonight.”


    “Isn''t she underaged?”


    “Thews here are less strict. One can enter a bar at seventeen.”


    Wearing a deep frown, Cooper protested, “If you want to investigate Nte or trap her into confessing,


    you should do it yourself. What has it got anything to do with me?”


    Sally took the cigarette from his fingers and gave it a puff. “You''re the honey trap.”


    Rendered speechless, Cooper gradually put on a nk expression.
