I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 675: The Living Matter More (1)
Christoper Cooper stepped forward, the man who was usually somewhat arrogant and unruly, but this time he was uncharacteristically solemn and deep.
"Lawyer Mu, I’m counting on you!"
Sophia Thompson nodded and shook hands with him.
"I will do my utmost!"
Sophia Thompson and Lucille Matthias left together to rush to the crime scene to collect evidence, while Lucille joined Christoper Cooper in taking Vera Wave out and getting back into the car to leave.
As the car drove out of the detention center, the journalists went into a frenzy of photography, but ultimately didn’t dare to pursue or block them.
As the car gradually drove away, Bailey Hansen let out a low sigh.
The woman whose mouth corners usually lifted with a smile was now full of bitterness.
How could any mother be happy with something like this happening to her only son?!
Vera Wave sat silently in the back seat, her hands clasped together.
Upon returning to the old house, as soon as they entered, Bailey Hansen and Christoper Cooper tacitly put on a relaxed expression. Seeing that Henry Cooper was not around, Bailey Hansen pulled Vera Wave aside.
"Vera, let’s agree on our story. We’ll just say that Kris has to be detained for a few days, nothing else."
"Okay."
Knowing they were worried about their grandfather, Vera Wave immediately agreed.
Christoper Cooper also called over the servant Mrs. Zhang to keep an eye on the news in the papers and on TV, ensuring the old man didn’t see it. Mrs. Zhang, who understood, agreed without asking more.
Having been with the Cooper Family for many years, the family treated her as one of their own, and Mrs. Zhang was extremely loyal and sincere to them.
Bailey Hansen walked over and patted Vera Wave on the shoulder.
"Vera, if there’s nothing urgent, go upstairs and get some rest. You don’t look too well."
Vera Wave nodded and went upstairs to her bedroom, her mind in turmoil, unable to make sense of anything.
She walked feebly to the bed and lay down. Curled up on the pillow, she couldn’t fall asleep. She forced herself to rest for a moment, finally dozing off, but once again dreamed of her father.
She dreamed of him lying on the ground, his body twisted. She looked up to see someone standing on the rooftop.
It was a man, tall and strong, and he slowly turned his face toward her. Even from a distance, she recognized the face—it was Christoper Cooper.
"Ah!"
Vera Wave screamed and woke up from her sleep.
On the table, her phone was buzzing. She reached for it and saw several text messages and missed calls.
Kenton Maverick, Andre Colin... a few friends of Kris Cooper, as well as Isla Hawskin, Merlin Bradley, all had sent messages asking about her situation.
The news outside had already blown up, and now the whole world knew about it.
Vera Wave carefully replied to a few, reassuring them not to worry and saying she was fine.
After finishing, she weakly hugged the pillow, curling up on the bed.
On her phone screen was a selfie of Kris Cooper. On the screen, the man was frowning slightly, looking a bit displeased, yet still unnaturally handsome.
She turned her face to the table where there was a cute bunny alarm clock, a gift Bailey Hansen brought back from Europe.
...
Raising her hand to grab her hair, Vera Wave let her face fall weakly.
"What should I do?!"
Originally, she always firmly believed this must be a misunderstanding.
But now, faced with the facts, recalling the scene back then, and Kris Cooper’s hesitation... she could be sure that this matter was indeed likely connected to Christoper Cooper.
