My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 1429

Cooper personally initiated the project following Cade’s cryopreservation, determined to find a cure for him as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Anna and Callum had gone back to Ronney Town.

As of this moment, they were about to go through the most important stage of their plans. Even if Cade’s cryopreservation meant he would be absent from all this, Anna and Callum knew they had to soldier through somehow.

They knew that their freedom was at stake, and they had to succeed no matter what.

They had been fighting and toiling hard for over twenty years just so they could see this through to the end.

All the work they’d put in for the past two decades now boiled down to the moment when they could finish this once and for all.

Cooper went along with them to lend his support.

Furthermore, the spies that had been planted around Jordaine had gotten first-hand intel with regards to the latter’s every move, and had reported the same to Anna.

It turned out that Jordaine had decided to deal her final blow after all.

Back then, upon discovering that Cooper’s genetic sample was stored within Marks Cryobank, Jordan instructed Jordaine to swap Cooper’s sample with his instead.

If everything had gone as planned, Cooper would have taken out Jordan’s sample instead when the time came for him to want children of his own. He’d be completely oblivious to the fact that he would be raising not his biological children, but Jordan’s.

By then, Jordan’s children would be the ones who stood to inherit Cooper’s estate.

The entire scheme was devious and disgusting.

Thankfully, the accident that occured after that had ‘killed’ Cooper, and the genetic sample remained unclaimed.

Jordaine had done everything as she was told. She’d taken out Cooper’s genetic sample from the cryobank and replaced it with Jordan’s.

She kept Cooper’s sample afterward. Jordan had planned to use Cooper’s genetic sample for more of his wicked schemes; he’d even planned to make millions of clones out of the sample, thereby cultivating a Cooper Mitchell army at his own disposal. However, the technology for DNA-cloning had not advanced much further since then, and so they had encountered many failures along the way.

Seeing as making an army out of Cooper’s clones had made no headway, Jordaine stored away the genetic sample.

But while Jordaine was doing that, something else happened: Jordan brought another woman home.

Jordaine had long resented Jordan’s incorrigible womanizing habits, but she had also been resigned to that aspect of him. After all, she loved him so much that she was willing to change her name for him.

She’d been well aware of the fact that Jordan was akin to an emperor. He adored her the most, and all the other women were just meaningless flings.

All Jordaine needed was time to prove that she was his one true love, and that she was different from all the other women. While the other women lusted after Jordan’s power and money, Jordaine loved him for who he truly was. She make him realize that she was the only one with whom he could spend the rest of his life with.

But that was before that wretched woman showed up. Jordaine was wary of her instantly, and for the first time, she felt threatened, because Jordan was different when he was with the woman.

The woman had lost her memory, and Jordan had been with her every step of the way as he taught her about the workings of mankind and the rest of the world. He treated her as though she was his own child.

The woman was wary and skittish in the presence of men, to the point that it warranted psychiatric help —Jordan was the one who went around looking for a therapist in order to help the woman overcome her fears.

When it was discovered that the woman had no uterus and was thus unable to conceive, Jordan asked Jordaine to take out his genetic sample from the cryobank. He wanted to undergo IVF so that they could conceive a child of their own through surrogacy.

That woman was Anna Yard.

Jordaine grew dangerously jealous upon seeing Jordan treating Anna with the kind of love and care that he’d extended to no one else.

As a result, Jordaine swapped out Jordan’s genetic sample for Cooper’s before the former underwent IVF with Anna. The Yard twins who were later on conceived through surrogacy were not Jordan’s biological sons at all.

Jordaine had been driven insane by her own jealousy and anger. She wanted to take revenge on Jordan. She’d been devoted to him and had convinced herself that only she had ever truly loved him. Yet Jordan did not appreciate her and cheated on her practically every night with countless other women. Jordaine was infuriated, but she had no choice but to accede to this state of affairs.

In vengeful spirit, she decided to let Jordan get a taste of his own medicine.

She also wanted to get rid of Anna once and for all.

Presently, the perfect opportunity had delivered itself to her doorstep.

After the news of Marks Cryobank swapping their clients’ genetic samples had broken out all over Cethos, it caused an outrage overseas. Many clients came forward to withdraw their genetic samples, and Jordaine, in turn, had managed to rouse up a couple of scapegoats. Marks Group issued an official apology and explained that the employees had swapped the genetic samples by mistake. As such, they were more than willing to compensate the clients and would close down the cryobank for good. After all, the cryobank hadn’t been making a large profit, and it hadn’t been the main source of revenue for Marks Group.

Upon seeing how things had panned out, Jordaine went along with the flow and investigated the matter. She then ‘stumbled upon’ the discovery that the Yard twins weren’t really Jordan’s biological children; they’d been conceived out of swapped samples.

She figured Jordan would surely be furious if he were to find out about this!

As expected, when he heard the news that his kids were not really his own, Jordan lost his mind. His eyes went red, and he wrecked a lot of furniture in a fit of rage—it was Jordaine’s first time seeing him like this.

“I’m sorry, Jordan. This is my fault—all of it. Take it out on me. I deserve it.”

Jordaine was sobbing dramatically, looking pitiful, while Moore held her in his arms as he cried, “No, Mom. This wasn’t your fault. You’d only just taken over Marks Group back then, and I was so young— you had far too much on your plate. You couldn’t have prevented it.”

Jordan grew even more frustrated as Jordaine continued to whine and wail; he knew that she might have had something to do with this, but he was so overcome with anger that he couldn’t be botheredProperty of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

about it.

All these years, and all he’d done was raise Cooper’s children as his own!

He gritted his teeth. For twenty years, he’d raised and loved the twins, thinking that they were his and Anna’s sons. It turned out that they’d been Cooper’s all along!

Jordan had poured out his heart and soul into grooming his sons so that they could take over his business one day, but as fate would have it, they had never been his sons in the first place!

He thought about the wicked scheme he wanted to pull off with Cooper’s genetic samples. How the tables had turned!

Jordan left for the airport after hastily giving Jordaine a couple of words of solace.

He would not live this down.

He wanted to wrap his hands around Cooper’s neck and strangle the man to death!

Meanwhile, after knowing that Jordan had boarded the plane, Jordaine wiped away her crocodile tears and made coffee for herself.

Her heart tightened as she tried to work out her own emotions.

What made her devote herself entirely to Jordan out of the millions of other men in the world?

Moore, on the other hand, was filled with glee. It was only a matter of time before there would be news on Callum and Cade’s death.

However, it was unlikely that Jordan would put the blame on Anna. After all, she had a special place in his heart.

There was even a chance of him staying by her side forever. Anna, however, might just have to watch both her sons die.

Anna’s sons were an extension of her, so killing them would have the same effect as cutting off her limbs—she might not even be able to function as a person after they were gone. Even if Jordan spared the twins this time, there was no way he’d let them off the hook for long. He might even use the two b*stards to blackmail Cooper.

While Jordaine and Moore began discussing how they could take over Yard Group after Anna’s inevitable defeat following the death of her sons, Dana, who was working undercover as Moore’s assistant, was already sending out the intel she’d gathered.

Jordaine had spent all these years planting her spies around Anna, and naturally, the latter had returned the favor. Dana had been deliberately arranged to work for Moore, and Jordan would never have realized that the person he thought he’d killed off was hiding right under his nose.

In Ronney Town, Anna and Cooper received an update from Dana.

He informed them that Jordan was already on his way.

It would take a seven- or eight-hour flight for him to get from Jordaine’s place to Ronney Town.

Anna was calm upon receiving the news. In fact, she could feel herself getting excited, as though she’d been waiting for this moment for the longest of time.

Cooper and Callum were flanking her. The three of them looked as if they were witnessing a pending storm coming from beyond the horizon.

They felt neither fear nor panic—only adrenaline.

They’d waited for over twenty years for this.

“Attack!”
