Samantha immediately looked at her daughter reproachfully. "You are also joking with your mother,
right?"
Sarah laughed mischievously and hugged her mother's arm coquettishly, "Mom, I don't dare! I just feel
that Stephen's grandpa is a good person. You said that you can live alone, but I'm not at ease. Uncle
isn't at ease either. Christian’s father's relationship with our family started when I was very young. You
have a common language with him. If you really get along with him. . . I think you'll definitely be happier
than now! "
Samantha heard her daughter's words and shook her head. "You'd better stop! I will not agree to this
matter! Ethan is a good person, but he is your father's best friend. Besides, I am already so old. What
is the point of remarrying? If our neighbors know about this, they would definitely think that I'm too
indecent. I don't want them to poke my spine. Don't mention this anymore in the future!"
To her, at this age, she no longer thought about other things. She only hoped that her daughter would
live a happy life. Then she would be content.
"Our neighborhood also has one! I remember you telling me before the New Year that Auntie Taylor
married another retired worker. And you also said that she is living a good life last time.”
If you enter the Cooper Family, you will be even better than her. Of course, I don't need to talk about
Christian. You watched Julian grow up. He has become better now. If you go. . . It will make him very
happy to have such a big family every day. You can see Stephen every day. No matter which way you
looked at it, there were only benefits and no disadvantages to it! Don't always be in a hurry to refuse.
Can you think about it first?" Sarah tried to pursue softly.
Samantha listened to her daughter's words and thought for a while. Then she nodded. "Okay, I
understand. . ." After saying that, she lowered her head and went to play with her grandson.
Sarah looked at her mother's expression and knew that this matter still needed to be considered and
did not continue to speak.
The lunch was very good. Christian's cooking naturally could not be described.
After lunch, Stephen fell asleep in Sarah's arms. Because he was going to the army early in the
morning the next day, after lunch, Christian brought Sarah and Stephen back to the villa.
On the way back, Christian looked at Sarah as he drove and asked, "Did you talk to Mom?"
Sarah nodded. "Yes! But I didn't succeed. . . " After saying that, she let out a light sigh.
Christian smiled and said, "Don't worry! It will succeed! Didn't you say that everything will be difficult at
the beginning? Don't worry. Once my father takes action, he will definitely succeed."
"Sigh, I really hope that my mom agrees. That way, I won't have to run between both sides. I don't have
to worry about anything happening to her either."
Christian lightly patted Sarah's hand and looked in front of him and said, "Don't worry. She will be fine."
Sarah nodded and did not say anything else.
The atmosphere in Cooper Family had been very good these two days.
The case was getting clearer and clearer. Although Greta had not been caught, it was only a matter of
time. Thinking about how the bad guys were finally going to be punished, everyone in Cooper Family
was very happy.
During dinner, Old Master Cooper looked the whole family sitting on the round dinning table and said
with emotion, "I always thought that Ethan's health wasn't good, that’s why he fell sick. Now I know it
was all because of Vivian! Fortunately, Ethan was lucky. That was why he escaped the doors of death!
If we didn't find out, we would still be in the dark."
Ethan nodded and sighed heavily. "Sigh. Back then, I shouldn't have agreed to let her marry into the
Cooper Family. It was also because I thought of the child in her womb at that time. For a moment, my
heart softened and I agreed to her marriage with Julian. But I never thought that compromise would
almost take my life! This person. . ."
After saying that, he couldn't help but shake his head.
His father's words made Julian feel ashamed. "Dad, this is all my fault! I shouldn't have liked her back
then! If I hadn't married her, so many things wouldn't have happened. Sigh, if my mother knew that all
these things were done by Vivian, she would definitely be furious. Back then, my mom was so good to
her. . ."
Old Master Cooper listened to Julian's words and took over the words with a solemn expression.
"When Julian said so, I suddenly have a thought. . ."
The whole family looked at the old man. Ethan looked at his father and asked, "Dad, what do you
think?"
Old Master Cooper slowly said, "I am thinking. . . So many things happened in our family in the past
few months. Do you think Daphne accidentally fell down the stairs at that time was also related to
Vivian?"
This sentence shocked everyone!
There was suddenly silence at the dining table.
Julian suddenly slammed the table and said hatefully, "With that woman's ruthlessness, she could
definitely do such a thing. Perhaps my mother's death really has something to do with her!"
Christian frowned. He looked at Sarah beside him and asked, "When Aunt Daphne died, did you call
the police?"
Sarah nodded. "Yes! At that time, although we did not think about anything else, we still called the
police. The police also came to investigate the scene, but they did not say that it was a murder. They
only said that it was an accident."
"Was Vivian at home that night?"
"Yes. She went upstairs after dinner, but we didn't see her come down."
Christian nodded. "Based on what she did in our house, Aunt Daphne's death might have something to
do with her. Dad, how about this, I'll call Chief Warren tonight. I think since we called the police back
then, the police must have a file. But I have to report to the army tomorrow. I can't delay any longer."
After saying that, he looked at Julian opposite him. "Julian, I'll give you the phone number of the
captain of the criminal police. If there's anything, I'll ask him to look for you directly."
"Okay, Big Brother. If this matter is also related to Vivian, then this woman's heart is too ruthless."
When Julian mentioned Vivian, his teeth itched with hatred.
Christian thought for a moment and then looked at Sarah beside him and asked, "Oh right, who saw
Aunt Daphne fall on the ground first?"
Old Master Cooper took over the conversation. "It was Mrs. Garcia. She woke up the earliest every
day."
Christian immediately asked the housekeeper to call Mrs. Garcia over. After a while, Mrs. Garcia
walked into the restaurant.
Christian looked at Mrs. Garcia and asked, “Mrs. Garcia, do you remember the day Aunt Daphne
died?"
Mrs. Garcia immediately nodded when she heard that. "Yes!"
"Then do you remember that when you walked out of the room, were the lights in the living room and
the stairs turned on?"
Mrs. Garcia stood where she was and thought for a while, then shook her head. "No. They were all
turned off."
"Did you remember it clearly?"
"Yes." Mrs. Garcia nodded affirmatively.
Christian continued to ask, "Do you remember during that period of time, did the lights on the stairs
break?"
"No, they are all fine."
Christian nodded and raised his hand slightly. Mrs. Garcia immediately understood and left.
Everyone looked at Christian, not understanding what he meant by asking Mrs. Garcia. Ethan looked at
his son and asked in confusion. "Christian, do you think there is anything suspicious?"
Christian's face sank. "It seems Aunt Daphne's death is very likely related to Vivian!"
"Big Brother, why do you say that? You can say for sure that the lights on the stairs were not turned
on?" Julian stared at Christian in shock.
Christian nodded. "Yes! If the lights on the stairs were on, I might not have doubted it. You can think
about it. Aunt Daphne lives on the second floor. If she goes downstairs and the lights on the stairs are
not on, will she see through the darkness and walk down?”
“The lights on the corridors can be turned on easily. Our family does not need to save money on
electricity. Logically speaking, as long as Aunt Daphne came out of the bedroom, whether it was the
lights in the corridor or on the stairs, she should turn it on.”
“Moreover, the stairs from the second floor to the first floor were very high. If the lights were not turned
on, it would definitely be dangerous. Let me ask you, each and every one of us here, if you go down in
the middle of the night, will you touch the handrails of the stairs and come down?"
Ethan nodded in agreement. "Christian's analysis is correct! It seems that something that we do not
know happened that night!"
Julian said angrily, "This evil woman! She is really heartless! At that time, I was only worried and sad,
and I could not see with my eyes. I didn't think too much about it. Today, I heard Big Brother mention it.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was Vivian who did it! But Big Brother. . . It has been
so long, and the stairs have been cleaned countless times. My mother has also been buried and now
there is no evidence. If Vivian doesn't admit it, what should we do?"
Christian nodded. "You said it right. But it is not impossible. As long as there is a little hope, we must do
our best to investigate. There must be something fishy about this matter. It definitely won't be as simple
as it looks.”
“It's also my fault for being too careless when I came back and didn't bother to ask about these details."
Christian said with a look of regret.
Ethan heard Christian blame himself and comforted him, “At that time, the house was in chaos. Who
could think of this? This is not your fault."
"Yes! At that time, Ethan was lying in the hospital. Julian could not see, and the company was in a
mess. Sarah still had to take care of two newborn children. Besides, who would have thought that
Vivian's heart would be so vicious?"
"Yes! Now we know everything. Sigh, Dad. I really let down my mother and our family!"
Julian thought how his mother died shedding cold blood, he felt an indescribable regret in his heart. If
he had known that Vivian was such a woman, no matter what, he would not marry her because of his
momentary desire.
He did not expect his one wrong decision would take his mother’s life and almost destroyed his family.
Thinking about it, he was really ashamed!
Old Master Cooper looked at Julian and comforted him, "Julian, don't blame yourself too much. The
matter has already happened. We also have to think about the good side. Although Vivian is not a good
person, don't we have Ruby now? There are also two cute children."
After Old Master Cooper reminded this matter, it made everyone feel indescribably uncomfortable.
If Daphne really died by accident, everyone would feel a little better. Especially Julian. When he heard
this shocking news, his heart could not calm down at all. He didn't even eat much.
When he thought about his mother's death, he had no appetite at all. In the end, he only ate a little bit
before returning to the bedroom upstairs. He leaned against the bed and silently thought about
everything.
