Cooper was displeased. “Did I say that?”
“No. But I think so.”
Both Erica and Jane were gentle and caring women. As such, Steven had a preconceived notion that
gentle women were Cooper's type.
Cooper leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes. “I'm not interested in Ms. Yerton. I courted her
earlier because the two children liked her, and she was also their teacher.”
He added, “I said that just now because I was afraid that if I were too harsh, she would get upset and
give the children a hard time at school.”
“Who are you interested in then? Is it Ms. Loake?” Steven asked again.
Cooper sneered when he heard that. “Am I crazy?”
“Well, you do look crazy to me.” Steven saw Cooper knitting his brows and exuding a cold aura through
the rearview mirror.
“Ever since Sally left, you've changed. You're not a short-tempered person, but you have been in a bad
mood recently and tend to lose your temper,” he added.
“Because she did not stick to the agreement and was ungrateful,” Cooper explained coldly.
“Is that so?” Steven asked. “Before I went to pick you up, someone from the bar called me and said
that you smashed Zeno's head after he insulted Sally.”
Cooper placed his hand on his forehead and closed his eyes, saying nothing. No, that's not it. I was
just upset and frustrated by what Sally did, so I was eager to find her and demand an explanation from
her.
The pain in his wound and everything that unfolded that night made Cooper restless. He tossed and
turned in bed, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already afternoon the next day.
Bertilla thought he had something urgent to deal with and did not disturb him.
Since his assistant had made all the work arrangements, Cooper went downstairs for lunch and asked
the housekeeper to pick out a few luxury gifts from the storehouse.
Then, he called the Loake residence. Knowing that Gerald was around, he drove over at one in the
afternoon.
There wasn't even a single housekeeper in the Loake residence, and Gerald was the only person
staying in the huge, empty house.
After leading Cooper to the living room and sitting down, Gerald poured the man some freshly brewed
coffee. The fragrance of coffee instantly filled the air.
“Mr. Sutton, can I help you?” Gerald asked.
“Although you have yet to be reinstated, you serve in the military and should have heard about Mayor
Taylor's situation. He's sick and needs someone to take his position.” Cooper went straight to the point.
“I do know about this.” Gerald nodded.
Cooper leaned over slightly and rested his elbows on his knees. Looking at Gerald, who was sitting on
the couch beside him, he asked, “Who's the new mayor transferred over by the government?”
Gerald averted Cooper's gaze as he replied, “You will know as soon as he takes office.”
Cooper was a smart person. Even though Gerald's placid tone and calm expression didn't reveal
anything, Cooper could still tell that the new mayor was not from the Gaudette family.
As for why Gerald won't tell me the new mayor's name... I guess people in politics are all arrogant and
look down on businessmen.
Gerald blew on the coffee and took a sip before adding, “I know you have put a lot of effort into my
case. I owe you one, Mr. Sutton. Except for matters that concern the Gaudette family, I'll try my best to
support you if you need help with anything in the future.”
“Just get straight to the point.” Cooper knew there was an underlying meaning behind the older man's
words. He was clearly implying something.
Seeing how smart Cooper was, Gerald stopped beating around the bush. “Sally can marry a major
general, a chief, or a minister, but not you.”
Cooper's surmise about Gerald disdaining businessmen like him was now confirmed.
The flames of rage within his heart were instantly set ablaze by Gerald's words. If I wasn't wealthy
enough to send so many people looking for evidence, he would have been sentenced to life
imprisonment for the offense of violating a minor. If that happens, he can kiss his position goodbye, too.
Now that he's released, he has the audacity to use his authority to intimidate me, huh?
