Chapter 1161
The youth hurriedly helped his girlfriend up before glaring at Cooper. He snapped, “What gives you the right to hit
my girlfriend?”
“She scolded my wife,” Cooper retorted in an icy tone.
“She's the one who started it first.” The youth fumed. “When she commented that I was going to miss, all my
girlfriend did was argue with her. Besides, it's a well-known fact that her father was convicted of sexually assaulting
an underage girl. My girlfriend was just stating the truth.”
Cooper sneered, “You missed because you suck. You're welcome to cover your ears if you don't like what she's
saying. As for her father, he is his own man. What has he got anything to do with her? Considering how worked up
your girlfriend was about the news; it makes me wonder if she experienced the same as a child.”
The infuriated youth swore at Cooper and felt the urge to beat him up.
Nevertheless, Cooper was a towering one meter and ninety centimeters tall. Despite his elegant demeanor, his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtaura easily intimidated the youth, causing the latter to dispel the thought of starting a fight.
As for the girl, she was sobbing hard as she demanded Cooper to wait there while she called the police.
“Go ahead. I'll be waiting right here,” Cooper declared, unfazed by the threat. “Disparaging someone is against the
law too. Let's see which of us gets arrested in the end.”
Cooper's words reminded the girl that she was the one who started ridiculing Sally first. In fact, the way she did it
was extremely vulgar.
She subsequently scanned the surroundings as if she had a scheme in mind.
However, Cooper quickly saw through her and broke into a smirk. “Are you planning to elicit the sympathy of
bystanders by playing the victim?”
“Lucian.” He gave the boy beside him a look.
Lucian whipped out his phone and played back a recording of what just happened. When the girl heard herself
cursing through the phone, her face lost all color immediately.
In that instant, the youth realized Cooper wasn't someone to be trifled with. If the police were to show up, they
would likely be charged with disparaging someone.
In the end, the youth frantically left together with his girlfriend.
When the girl had threatened to call the police earlier, Amanda had pulled Sally's hands away from her ears,
allowing her to hear everything.
Thus, she hugged Cooper's leg and smiled gleefully. “Uncle Cooper, you're the best! You protected Aunt Sally when
someone bullied her. You really are someone who... How should I put it...”
Lucian added, “Spoils his wife.”
“Yes! Spoils his wife!” Amanda nodded. “I hereby declare that you, Uncle Cooper, are better than my godfather.”
Cooper simply smiled and pretended not to have heard the last part of what Amanda said. Thereafter, he went to
buy more balls and handed them to Sally.
He said, “There's still the keychain left. We'll leave once we win it.”
After grunting in acknowledgment, she looked up at Cooper. When she noticed some emotion in his previously
frosty gaze, she felt the urge to say something.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBefore she could, Cooper flatly preempted her, “There's no need to thank me. I'm not doing this for you.”
As one was allowed to choose the keychain, Amanda chose a limited-edition Halloween StellaLou keychain and was
ecstatic over it.
With that, she headed off to the carousel ride with Cooper and the others in tow.
As neither Cooper nor Sally enjoyed such a childish ride, they leaned against the railing to wait while Amanda and
Lucian were enjoying themselves inside.
The sight of Amanda's elated expression caused Cooper to take photos of her and Lucian with his phone.
After doing so, he finally had time to talk with Sally. “If it wasn't because Mandy likes you a lot and insisted that you
come along, I truly have no desire to see you. All this while, I have done everything I can to help you in your quest
to prove the innocence of the Loake and Zane family.”
With a solemn expression, Cooper continued grimly, “All I asked of you was to protect the children. I didn't need you
to treat their lives as your own, but you still failed to do so.”
Sally allowed him to reprimand her without a single word of protest.
After all, it was indeed a dereliction of her duty.
