My Dreamy Old Husband
Chapter 1123

After being turned away by Sophia and Cooper, Mr. Clarke went to look for Michael, who expressedhis regrets, because his father-in-law had the last say in their household. Plus, his status in the familywas getting lower and lower. If his father-in-law did not want to sell it, he could not do anythingabout it.

Moreover, Villa No. 1 was being used to rare pigs lately. If they sold it, where were they supposed toraise the pigs?

Were they supposed to raise it on their balcony?

Carmen wanted to raise the pig in her bedroom, but Michael did not want his darling sleeping in apigsty.

When Anna learnt about Cooper's attitude regarding her interest, she was a little surprised.

The amount she offered would make anyone intrigued. It had far exceeded the value of their house,and yet they would not sell it?

She had her eyes on the house and the office buildings, so she was going to get it!

Anna was ready to take action on her own, so she planned to meet with Cooper to negotiate. Sheasked her secretary to set up a business appointment with Cooper to discuss about Ronney Group'ssupport of Mitchell International Energy and Technology. She thought that Cooper would be willingto meet with her since it was about money, so she did not expect it when Cooper promptly repliedwith, “Appointment declined.’

However, Anna did not give up. She made another appointment, this time in Louis's name,promising that it had nothing to do with Anne, but Cooper came back with the same two words:“Appointment declined.’

On her third try, Anna invited Cooper to attend a private reception, only to be met with the samecold answer: “Appointment declined.’

Seeing that playing nice did not work, she decided it was time to do things the hard way.

And so, Anna pressured Cooper's business partners to withdraw their capital, which caused a groupof them to break off ties with him. She thought that Cooper would relent, but she did not expectthat he would be completely unperturbed. While the group of collaborators had left, there weremany others who came rushing forward.

“This is outrageous!” Anna viciously threw the information about Cooper that she had in her handsto the ground.

Cooper is so stubborn!

It was really rare to replace someone who would reject her, let alone someone she could not doanything about!

It had been a long time since she last lost her temper over someone!

Callum slowly picked up the materials that Anna had thrown away which contained all theinformation she had found about Cooper.

Thirty years ago, Cooper Mitchell was a genius who had created one legend after another. However,he was killed in an accident twenty years ago. Several years ago, he suddenly came back from thedead and gave up on Mitchell Group. Instead, he established his own business and founded MitchellInternational Energy and Technology, which rose rapidly within a short period of time, proving thatthe old legend had returned.

Nobody knew where Cooper had gone when he faked his death. Even Anna got nothing from herinvestigations, but there were rumors that he was in Africa digging for black coal.

Besides, he was a mysterious person to say the least. Very few media could photograph him as hekept a very low profile and rarely appeared in public. The Yard family had sent people to watch TheImperial for ten days, but they never once saw Cooper come out.

Callum joked, “Quite the homebody, this guy is!”

At this moment, Cade came up with an idea. “It seems that Cooper has no flaws, so we could takeaction against his daughter. If we mess with his daughter, Cooper will definitely agree to meet withus.”

Cooper was unusually cold, but his daughter was extremely warm-hearted. Once Anna calmeddown, she ordered Callum to contact Sophia to discuss the house. She was willing to cooperate andtake less profits in their future business deals for the sake of the house.

When Anne heard that Anna had been trying to get a meeting with Cooper recently, she got theimpression that Anna wanted to talk to him about his marriage with her. She got even more excitedwhen she heard that Callum was going to meet with Sophia because she assumed that Anna hadsent Callum to pressure Sophia!

Later on, she found out where they were meeting and had gone there in advance to wait for Sophia.With her invincible cousin with her, what would Sophia, that worthless b*stard, dare to say?

After all, she was still working together with Callum. If she dared to refuse them, Callum woulddefinitely cut ties with her at once. By then, she would be the one suffering the loss.

Meanwhile, Sophia was getting annoyed with the agent who was pestering her everyday. On top ofthat, she received a dinner invitation from Callum saying that he wanted to talk about the house,but she knew that buying their house was just a front to help Anne pursue her father.

It's fine, she thought. She could clarify things with them today so that they would not harass heragain in the future!

They were going to meet at Crimson House Restaurant, so Sophia went there a little earlier after shegot off work. She was prepared to eat something so that she would have enough strength for herfight with Callum. To her surprise, she found Anne already sitting inside waiting for her when shewalked into the restaurant.

How predictable.

All that talk about buying houses and giving up parts of the business profit was just bullsh*t. Theyjust wanted to give Anne a chance to win Cooper over!

The Yard family was really doing anything they could to get Cooper!

So what if they had money?

The Yard family was rich, but Sophias family had mines. Moreover, they were diamond mines andrare metal mines, so they were not inferior to the Yards at all!

Sophia strode over with her head held high.

“Sophia!”

As soon as she saw her, Anne called out to her, her eyes full of delight. Then, in a stepmotherlyvoice, she said, “Oh, I bet you didn't see this coming, did you? Aunt Anna loves me so much that sheis personally helping me with the marriage. Today, Callum asked to meet with you to talk about mymarriage with your father. I hope you won't stop us, otherwise—" She slammed the table as she saidthis. “Otherwise, I'll ask Callum to stop his cooperation with you so that you'll suffer a great loss!Your brand is nothing without Ronney Group. I'm advising you, stop criticizing my marriage withyour father. You're not worthy!”

Before Sophia could speak, Anne continued coldly, “And don't make unwarranted assumptionsabout the Yard family’s matters and judge us based on your malicious thoughts. You're no match forus!”

Whew!

It had only been a few days. What exactly happened?

Where did Anne replace the courage to speak to her like that?

Sophia sat down slowly and put her bag away, her assistant and bodyguard standing to one side.Curiously, she asked, “Hey, look who's talking big? You've gotten the shares, I assume?”

Anne answered proudly, “I'll get the shares sooner or later. Aunt Anna is now busying herself withmy marriage and it's obvious that she still loves me. She's not the heartless tyrant you claim her tobe! I'll have you know that I'm Aunt Anna's favorite niece!”

Haha!

Sophia was skeptical of Anne's words.

Could Anna be so stupid?

If Anna was this stupid, it seemed that Sophia needed to reevaluate her.

However, Anna's behavior had been rather contradictory lately. She was constantly eyeing Cooper'sproperties, acting as if she would not rest until she got them.

There were so many neighborhoods and office buildings in Bayside City, so why would she keeptargeting theirs?

Cooper's office buildings and The Imperial’s Villa No. 1 were worth several billions. If Anna reallyfound a chance for Anne to buy the house, would it not get a lot of people involved? In addition,Anna had been attacking Mitchell International Energy and Technology for the past few days. Shemust have done it to force Cooper to marry Anne.

Sophia could not think of any reason other than that she was trying to replace opportunities for Anne,If Anna continued to spend so much money on helping Anne get Cooper without batting an eyelid,then it would make sense for them to give Anne the shares.

This is strange...

Seeing that Sophia was deep in thought, Anne assumed that she had subdued her, so she smackedthe table and said, “Have I made myself clear? Be more respectful to me in the future, otherwise I'llask Callum to terminate your cooperation agreement!”

Sophia looked up at her, but before she could say anything, she saw Callum walking toward them,so she hurriedly asked her assistant to bring out the documents.

“Mr. Callum, you came at the right time. Id like to talk to you about the termination of ourcontract.”

When she spoke, she looked at Anne, who appeared very haughty at this moment.

“It seems that Ronney Group... is out of my league.”
