NovelOnlineChapter 483 She Destroyed His Life Over in a high-end condominium in Xedells, Armand, Cooper,
Samantha, and three other people were seated on couches in an exquisite living room. An elderly
woman with graying hair around the temples and a hunched back stood next to one of the couches,
recounting to the others what had happened over two decades ago. Harriet only had one daughter—
Samantha—and she loved her dearly. Since Zachary had no achievements to speak of at the time,
Harriet had been unwilling to let Samantha marry him because she was worried her daughter would
have to endure many hardships. Hence, she deliberately interfered and broke the couple up.
Taking Samantha’s prematurely-born baby, she struck a deal with Zachary. He was not allowed to step
foot in Xedells again, and he had to marry another woman. Misled by Harriet into believing that Zachary
had abandoned her, Samantha’s deep love for him morphed into an intense hatred, and she had

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe lips of an elderly housekeeper who had worked for Harriet for many years. As she stared at Cooper,
who sat opposite her, she could detect some resemblance in his deep-set eyes and facial features to
her former lover. What have I done? Not only did I kill the man I loved, but in the name of revenge, I
also manipulated my own son like a pawn for the past twenty years. “Mom, you’ve caused me so much
misery…” Samantha broke down and started sobbing bitterly. As a daughter of the Faulkner family, I’ve
never disobeyed my parents. All this while, I’ve stood by my mother. But in the end, the very person I
loved and respected the most was the one who ruined my happiness! But despite her tears, meltdown,
and remorse, Cooper was unmoved.
His gaze was icy as he pushed a cup of coffee toward Samantha. “There were more than ten members
of the Sutton family, and all of them were innocent. If one commits murder, one must pay with their life.”
Although he knew that Harriet was the one indirectly behind the tragedy, Samantha was still the one
who instigated the fire. The latter was also the one who had practically destroyed his life. I can’t let Dad
die in vain. Although Samantha was devastated upon learning the truth, she did not fear death. Instead,
she merely gazed at Cooper with tears in her eyes. He’s my son. It has taken a long time for us to be
finally reunited. “Can you give me another hour?” she asked Cooper in a hoarse voice. After a brief
silence, he answered, “Very well.” Samantha walked over to the window to make a phone call, and
around half an hour later, three lawyers in suits arrived at the apartment with the documents she had
requested. After signing the documents, she passed them to Cooper and explained, “These are the
assets under my name and all of the company’s shares I hold…” Cooper did not refuse. Instead, he
signed his name on all the documents. As Samantha gazed at Cooper’s handsome face, it felt as if
Zachary was standing in front of her.
Tears began streaming down her face subconsciously. She said, “I know it’s meaningless to say
anything at this point, but could I ask that you bury me with your father? It doesn’t matter even if my
name isn’t on the headstone…” Seeing how humbly and pitifully she pleaded, Cooper finally relented.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe did not say anything, but he nodded in response. “Thank you.” Samantha’s shoulders sagged in
relief. It’s enough for me to be buried with Zachary so I can stay by his side. I couldn’t ask for anything
more. Armand had been silent up until then, but at that moment, he suddenly pushed a photo in front of
Samantha. “Aunt Samantha, do you know this lady?” Samantha lowered her head and studied the
photo that was yellowed with age. “I think I saw her dining with your father when I was having a meal at
a restaurant…” After pausing to recall her memories, she continued, “I remember a conversation with
my mother a long time ago where she mentioned that your father had fallen for someone. I suppose it
must be the lady in this photo. She said my father didn’t like that the lady came from a poor family…”
Among his sons, Dad thought the most highly of Cesar.
He decided very early on that Cesar would be his successor. The only way for such a prominent family
like ours to expand and strengthen our status was through marriage, leveraging the other party’s
connections and resources. To benefit our family, the woman Cesar wanted to marry had to have a
similar family background. Hence, Dad was extremely displeased when he found out Cesar was
secretly dating someone and, later on, personally chose a wife for him.
