My Dreamy Old Husband
Chapter 466

Nicole was surrounded with scandals as of late, but her assistant and manager were worried that thebad press would influence her emotions and prevented her from reading the news online. It wasonly now that she was aware of the fake Cooper incident, which made her pleasantly surprised.“He's now an Internet sensation?” Nicole exclaimed. “With the possibility of entering showbusiness?”

She snatched the cell phone from Sophia and replayed the uploaded video of the Cooper lookalike.The more she watched it, the more excited she became.

Sophia reiterated the news that was announced a few days ago. “Talk about coincidences. Yourcrush has been hanging around at the film studio for a few days. He must have been handsome forsomeone to have taken a picture of him and uploaded it on social media. Taylor and Lord Winstonmust have seen it and reshared it too, leading him to become an overnight Internet sensation. Look,this video was only uploaded three hours ago. A famous director has already assigned a role to him.Who knows if you might run into him at one of the filming sites? Here's your chance!”

An initially elated Nicole played the video several times, but her happiness soon fell intodisappointment. “He's just a lookalike. He's not the one.”

“Huh?”

Sophia couldn't believe what she heard.

Nicole thought Sophia had misheard her and repeated, “I appreciate what you've done, but thisperson is not him. He just looks very much like him.”

Before Sophia could respond, Nicole added, “I met him five days ago. The man in this video isn'thim, but a doppelganger. Look at him and watch how he speaks. The one whom I met speaksfluently without any accent.”

She continued to compare the video and Cooper's photograph, picking on every single detail. “Hedoesn't have an arched eyebrow and canine teeth. Even his hairline isn't the same. I spoke to himfive days ago. He still remembers me and this person isn't him.”

Sophia, who was still in disbelief, inquired, “Are you really sure?”

Nicole replied calmly, “I've been looking at his photographs every single day for the past sevenyears. I can't be wrong.”

She pulled out more photographs of Cooper from the album to study them one by one and pointedwith her finger.

“This is him. The person in the picture isn't him; it's just someone who looks like Cooper. Have alook at this picture—now, this is him. He doesn’t have that black windbreaker on him because hegave it to me. Do you notice how the doppelganger is still wearing it in this photo? His facialexpression obviously does not match. Based on what you've just said, he bought an umbrella and awindbreaker from the convenience store five days ago. It was on the same night that I bumped intohim and he gave both items to me. Meanwhile, in this photo, which was taken three days ago, he'sstill having that umbrella and wearing the windbreaker, which means that it isn't him,” Nicole statedas a matter of fact.

Sophia's mind went blank again.

If that was the case, it means that the person whom Nicole met seven years ago was indeed the realCooper Mitchell!

It meant that he truly made an appearance at the film studio where he encountered Nicole andspoke to her before even giving his umbrella and windbreaker to her.

After Nicole pieced all of the pieces, she noticed a dumbfounded Sophia and felt bad for wastingthe latter's intentions and efforts. “Thank you once again, really. At least this person looks like hisclone. Who knows if he's still around...”

Sophia summoned her courage and yanked a photograph that was taken about twenty years agofrom her pocket. In it was a younger Cooper standing with a group on a masonry bridge.Unfortunately, her mother was not in the picture. “Have a look. Is this the man you said you metseven years ago?”

The moment Nicole saw that photograph, she was shocked. “Where did you get the picture from?Yes, that's definitely him. I ran into him five nights ago near that masonry bridge. Only God knewhow long he stood there for. Even the spot where he stood and his posture are exactly the same.”She finally understood—Cooper had a photo taken on the bridge before, so he could have returnedto reminisce about something.

With all of her questions answered by Nicole, Sophia was numbed from all the emotions within

Her search for her father had been nothing but twists and turns!

Every time she was about to throw in the towel, fate would step in and throw her a surprise.

Just four hours ago, she anticipated the opportunity of meeting her father, only to discover that theman was not the real deal.

Yet, four hours later, she discovered that the real deal was once so close.

In short, the person Nicole saw was the actual Cooper Mitchell. Some of the photos that wereposted online were indeed him. However, after he became an Internet sensation, he hired a bodydouble as a decoy so that he would not be found.

Sophia held the photograph in her trembling hand. “Sean, what are you doing here?”

A low voice came in from the entrance and caused Sophia to rise on her feet. She headed towardthe ajar door and swung it open—there stood Sean.

Behind him were Michael and Harry with a rather ominous expression. Both men held a bouquet offlowers each in their hands as they meant to pay Nicole a visit.

"Sean, when did you arrive?” Sophia looked at Sean in surprise. Could he have been here for sometime? How much did he hear from my conversation with Nicole earlier? The things that happenedseven years ago or just five days ago

"Sophia, I-I just arrived. You left something at my place, so I thought that I should bring it over toyou,” Sean stuttered, going out of his way to avoid her gaze—a dead giveaway that he had a guiltyconscience.

A hand suddenly landed on his shoulder before he was shoved into an adjacent empty ward.Michael entered after Sean while Hale guarded the ward entrance.

Sophia was in a daze; it wasn't until Michael manhandled Sean that she finally returned to hersenses.

She was not sure how much Sean had heard. However, judging from Michael's expression, it lookedlike he intended for Sean to bring it to his grave.

Although Sean was unaware of Sophia’s true identity, it would not take long for the Mitchell Familyto learn of the secret.

If Michael had his way, he would have ended the matter in that instant...

Sophia realized what was about to happen and barged into the room, only to see Danny's handaround Sean's neck. Michael really means it! He wants Sean dead! “Stop!”

She lunged forward and shoved Danny aside. “Don’t you dare touch him!”

She planted herself between Sean and Michael and stared at the latter.

Now that she was around, it was inconvenient for Danny to execute his kill order and looked atMichael for his next instruction.

Michael lowered his head and peered at Sophia with a frown

Sophia returned the gaze. If he dared to lay a hand on Sean, she was ready to make him regret hisdecision.

It wasn't long before an awkward silence ensued.

Sean let out a couple of uncomfortable coughs before resting his hand firmly on her shoulder.“Cough... So, you are really my relative. It's a shame that I'm only knowing you now.”

Sophia turned her head and glanced at Sean, but said nothing. Then, she turned to face Michael.Michael never expected him to know that much. “How much do you actually know?”
