Chapter 187 You Were Tricked
After rushing out of the building and getting in the car, Patrick immediately dialed a number but was
informed that the number he dialed was unreachable as the person’s phone was switched off.
At that, he became even more anxious.
While speeding to the airport, he made a call to a friend and asked them to lend him a helicopter
immediately.
At the same time, he opened the browser on his phone with one hand and entered Specter Corporation’s
website, where he looked for a string of numbers and mentally jotted it down.
As soon as the call with his friend ended, he dialed the number he had just memorized.
At that moment, it was past ten o’clock in the evening in Feston.
Cooper was dining with several business partners in the private room of a clubhouse when Christopher
suddenly walked in, bent over, and whispered to his ear, “Mr. Sutton, there’s a man named Patrick
Sullivan who’s inquiring for you.”
Cooper had just raised the wine glass to his lips, about to take a sip. Upon hearing that, he paused and
glanced at Christopher. “Isn’t he Armand’s subordinate?”
“Yes, but he says he wishes to speak to you because of an urgent matter.”
Christopher was holding a phone with an ongoing call displayed on the screen. “Do you want me to hang

Cooper remembered that when he saw Genevieve on the street once, she was accompanied by Patrick,
and it seemed that the man was a bodyguard assigned by Armand to protect her. After hesitating for a
few seconds, he took over the phone and rose to his feet.
“Sorry. I have to head out to answer a call,” he politely said to his business partners at the table before
quickly leaving the private room and walking to a corner.
Placing the phone next to his ear, he asked, “Why are you looking for me?”
“Where are you? Are you in Jadeborough?”
Through the speaker, Cooper could hear the anxiousness in Patrick’s voice. As he pushed up his
eyeglasses, he answered, “I’m on a business trip in Feston.”
“Cooper, you were f*cking tricked!” Patrick cursed harshly before taking a deep breath twice. He then
ordered, “Find a way to head back to Jadeborough this instant and take Genevieve away once you
arrive!”
Cooper’s expression turned cold, and he asked, “What’s wrong with her?”
“I don’t have time to explain it to you now! Go back to Jadeborough right now and find Genevieve. I sent
a document to your email, so you can read it while you’re on your way there!” Patrick immediately hung
up the phone after saying that.
I was tricked? By who? Cooper was befuddled by Patrick’s words.
And what happened to Genevieve?
Frowning, he immediately logged into his email account and saw an email sent to him two minutes ago.
He then clicked into it.
At first, his eyes casually ranged over the content in the document as he scrolled down. However, when
he read the terrifying words, his pupils constricted.
A blank look filled his eyes, followed by shock, and finally, disbelief.
“How could it be… How could this be…” he murmured, scrolling to the top of the document with
trembling hands before rereading it from top to bottom.
As he read on, he felt cold in his limbs, and his tall figure swayed multiple times.
He had always suspected that the extermination of the Suttons more than twenty-odd years ago had
nothing to do with the Rachford family. However, someone went to him, saying they had escaped from
the fire and had come to tell him the truth.
He believed that person’s words, so he stayed with the Rachford family for twenty-odd years, biding his
time just to get his revenge.
It was then that he discovered the person had been weaving a plot to lure him into a trap step by step,
and he believed everything the latter had said.
He dealt with the Rachford family and destroyed Genevieve with his own hands.
“Mr. Sutton?”

When Christopher came out of the room and saw Cooper swaying unsteadily, he immediately stepped
forward and asked, “Are you feeling unwell?”
“I…” Cooper opened his mouth to speak, but at the thought of himself being deceived for over twenty
years and the things he had done to Genevieve, he could taste a metallic taste spreading in his mouth.
Instead of words, blood spewed out of his mouth.
Christopher’s face changed drastically, and he supported him at once. “Mr. Sutton!”
“Contact the airport immediately and prepare the plane!” Cooper grabbed his assistant’s hands. With
reddened eyes, he enunciated, “I’m going back to Jadeborough right now!”
“Back to Jadeborough? But, your condition right now…” Christopher was stunned. “What about the
partnership?”
Cooper squeezed his assistant’s arms fiercely while a streak of blood ran down from the corner of his
lips. “I f*cking told you to prepare the plane now! I am going back to Jadeborough! Now!”
“Y-Yes.” Christopher was a little frightened by Cooper’s demeanor at the moment, so he contacted the
airport immediately after the latter released his arms.
With trembling hands, Cooper unlocked his phone, found that phone number, and dialed it.
Unexpectedly, the person’s phone was switched off.
That discovery caused his chest to tighten, and he strode out of the clubhouse while clutching his phone.
