My Dreamy Old Husband
Chapter 1194

Upon learning that Sophia was just a worthless illegitimate daughter, the group of elders chipped inand started to verbally attack Sophia's status, acting as though she was some kind of unseemlyexistence.

“She's just Cooper's illegitimate daughter! How arrogant!”

“It looks like Cooper is really at his wits’ end by sending his illegitimate daughter out to causetrouble! Throw this woman out! What a disgrace to our ancestors!”

"His illegitimate daughter, haha... How dare the traitor's illegitimate daughter act so cocky!”

They could only throw cheap, harsh words at Sophia because she had brought more people thanthem. The crowd silently watched as these elders criticised and used obscene words to insultSophia's status as an illegitimate daughter; it was as if being an illegitimate daughter gave everyonethe right to legally trample all over her.

Everyone watched the scene in silence as the entire graveyard was filled with their nasty remarks.In the end, even Alex's lineage ran out of words to curse Sophia, and they could only repeat thesame words over and over again.

Sophia had come all the way here via helicopter; even though it was very cool to drop down fromthe sky, it almost froze her into a popsicle. She sat down calmly on a portable chair that Sean hadbrought over while she listened to Alex and the others’ insults. She drank some hot coffee to warmherself up, building enough strength to deliver her big comeback.

Their ugly, obscene words even enraged Sean so much that he was about to command his men totear their mouths, but Sophia quickly stopped him. “It's fine, just let them continue. Film thisproperly; Ill soon invest and build a Mitchell Family museum, and today’s historic occasion must berecorded as part of the family’s history. We will place it in the museum for future descendants towatch.”

Alex and his men were too busy cursing Sophia, not noticing that someone had been recordingthem the entire time. At that moment, they finally realized their ugly nature had been exposed asSandra quickly yelled, “Stop filming right now! No filming!”

Unfortunately, she couldn't even get close to Sophia, let alone stop the people around her fromfilming.

All family meetings had to be filmed for their archives, so today's occasion was not an exceptionSophia stood high above as she elegantly held a cup of hot coffee and sipped on it slowly. Dressedexquisitely, Sophia had perfectly inherited her strong and stern features from Cooper; it evenseemed like a second Cooper had appeared

An illegitimate daughter? She is actually Cooper's beloved illegitimate daughter!

Nevertheless, there was no law stating that an illegitimate daughter was inferior to a legitimatedaughter. Moreover, Sophia was already on the newly revised Mitchell Family genealogy whichclearly stated that she was Cooper's daughter and Woody's grandchild.

A real leader would not be affected by a few vicious words.

Alex and Sandra could only helplessly grasp the fact that she was an illegitimate daughter andrepeatedly insulted her with their foul obscenities; there was a clear difference in power betweenboth sides.

Sophia had almost lost her senses when she saw them digging Woody's grave earlier, but herthoughts began to calm down as the warmth from the hot coffee spread throughout her body.Meanwhile, Sandra was determined to dig up Woody's grave that day; she had to prove herauthority to the Mitchell Family!

Sandra proclaimed righteously and said, “Sophia, today’s matter concerns only the Mitchell Familymembers. Right now, you're stepping on a mountain hosting the Mitchell Family's ancestral graves.Whether the ancestral graves are to be dug or not is entirely up to the members of the MitchellFamily! Although you claim to be the rightful members of the Mitchell Family, our family is still theonly one recognized by the aristocrats of Bayside City. This is still the Mitchell Family's ancestralgraves mountain, so we have the right to handle things as we see fit!"

Suddenly, Alex saw the opportunity to recover his dignity as the Head of Mitchell Family. He was theonly Head of the Mitchell Family and the chairman of the National Mitchell Clan Cultural ResearchAssociation, so he had absolute authority over the Mitchells. He even controlled the council ofelders, so he had the final say in the decision to dig up their ancestral graves.

“The ancestral graves belong to the Mitchell Family. Only the words of the head of the MitchellFamily counts—not yours! Whoever disobeys my orders will be considered as traitors of the family!"Everyone stared at Alex's lineage, disgusted by their actions. Who cares about his position?Everyone is here today, and there is no way we're letting them dig up the graves!

“Huh, do you think you can dig it up as you wish?”

Putting down her coffee slowly, Sophia let out a warm breath of air as she folded her arms. Shelooked at the disgruntled Alex and his lineage in an arrogant manner.

“Even if I didnt come here on behalf of my father today, allow me to remind you of this.”

She turned toward the Mitchell Family's ancestral graves, her eyes filled with respect. “Many heroesand martyrs have come from our Mitchell Family, and it just so happened that the “Heroes AndMartyrs Protection Law’ was introduced by our country this year. According to this new law, diggingup the graves of martyrs will be subjected to imprisonment—you'd have to ask the authorities forapproval first!”

Upon hearing that, Sandra and Alex didn't dare to speak.

“As for the rightful heir of the Mitchell Family, do I really need to remind you again? MitchellFamily's glory today only exists because of my grandfather's generation, and it was carried forwardby my father's generation. All of you are just leeching off of my grandfather and father'sinheritance.”

Sophia had a lot of things to say, and she was going to take that opportunity today. She spokeevery word with a clear and firm voice.

"How many of the properties you own today were earned through your own hard work? Theinventions and research results from Mitchell's Technology that all of you take pride in were leftbehind by my father! Even the ancestral house and office building that all of you are living in rightnow were snatched away from my father! My father left the Mitchell Family 20 years ago, but youguys haven't grown since then! The Mitchell Family used to be one of the most prestigious familiesin Bayside City, but after my father left, did you protect this glory? No, you didn't! All of you havedone nothing but leech off the inheritance and fight against each other to eliminate those with realtalents! Ever since my father returned, he created a new Mitchell Family within two years; he's nowleading the Mitchell Family out to the world. Along with Mitchell Energy and Technology, my fatheris holding an energy conference abroad; he's already on equal footing with the world's energybigwigs. He is solidifying the Mitchell Family's status in Cethos and the world, yet you're here usingthe ancestral graves to prove your pathetic authority. Tell me, who do you think is the rightful ownernow?"

Her words had shamed the whole Mitchell Family. Indeed, Mitchell's Technology hadn't been doingwell ever since Cooper's death and when Alex became the head of the family and the chairman ofthe company. Both the family and company were deteriorating, but no one wanted to admit thecruel truth.

On the other hand, once Cooper came back, he led the Mitchell Family to numerous achievementsin major fields with a growing number of its family members; that was the truth everyone could see.In these two years, the Mitchell Family had made more achievements than the past twenty years.Who was the rightful heir?

It was silent as everyone fell into deep thought and lowered their heads in shame.

Then, Sophia turned toward the ancestral graves on the mountain and said, “The ancestors haveseen the faces of these ungrateful scums of the Mitchell Family, so I'm sure that you will also agreewith my decision. Now, on behalf of my father, I will announce the names of members who will bebanished from the Mitchell Family...”

She grabbed a list that had been compiled on the scene and registered every one of Alex's lineageas accomplices who dug the ancestral graves into the book. She was going to erase them from thefamily genealogy completely!

Nonetheless, Sandra didn't give up as she jumped out and yelled ferociously, “You're just a woman—what right do you have to control the Mitchell Family?! Since when did the Mitchell Family allowshameful women to dictate its members?!"
