Chapter 1168

Sally didn't think it was a good idea to voice out mere speculations.

“I like men who are smart and brave.” Sally cocked her head to the side. “I'm just curious. Why do I
fancy you when Armand is the smarter one?”

It seemed as if Cooper never expected to hear something like that from Sally.

At that moment, the kids were counting down excitedly. “Ten, nine, eight... One!”

A dazzling display of fireworks lit up the night sky as the clock struck twelve. The kids cheered in
delight as they welcomed the new year.

Sally turned to face Cooper and kissed him on the lips. “Happy New Year.”

Cooper bore his dark eyes into her. “Sally, I'd rather you see me as Ethan's stand-in than have you
develop feelings for me.”

“My heart has turned into a cold hard stone. You know very well why I chose to marry you. I'm just
saying. Why are you being so sensitive?” Sally smiled. “Liking someone has a broad range of
meanings to it. Besides, I'm not the type to stick around when I'm no longer wanted either.”

She maintained a calm and collected demeanor despite the circumstances, and that managed to
convince Cooper. “Glad you think that way.”

The kids went to bed right after the firework display.



Sally and Cooper also returned to the guest room the housekeeper had prepared for them. Checking
her phone, Sally saw the new year greeting Stefan had sent.

She replied to his message and even sent him a monetary gift as a blessing for the new year.

She still remembered what Cooper said that night, but she had been hesitant since Stefan had never
traveled overseas. Moreover, her father had instructed her to look after Stefan.

I won't be in contact with Cooper once we settle the Gaudettes, so Stefan won't have to harbor any
more ill feelings toward Cooper. I'll need to have a proper conversation with Stefan sometime soon.

A push notification from her news app appeared on the screen. She tapped on it as the headline
caught her attention immediately.

Benson Corporation was one of the biggest real estate companies in the country.

Jiminy would emerge as one of the top ten richest men in the country every year. Hence, the news
media were flocking to report about his company when things went wrong.

Sally waited till Cooper was done with his phone call before she commented, “I saw the news about
Benson Corporation.”

Cooper replied, “It was Bertilla who called me. He discovered that Jiminy had been scammed after
investing his money overseas and lost over two billion in cash.”

Jiminy had poured all of his liquid assets into this investment.



Surely, he never expected to get scammed.

New Year's Eve was supposed to be a happy day whereby families gathered to welcome the new year.
However, Benson Corporation was declared bankrupt on New Year's Eve as the stock price crashed,
sending Jiminy into debt.

Cooper frowned. “Mr. Benson is a shrewd businessman who has been doing business for decades. He
wouldn't have invested billions without exercising due diligence.”

Sally didn't know what to say to Cooper as she wasn't well-versed in running a business.

After giving it some thought, she spoke up. “Maybe the Bensons are being targeted. The scammer
must have known that Mr. Benson was a cautious man and devised a trap just for him.”

Sally thought of it that way because she had employed similar tactics to bring down Specter
Corporation back then.

Sally continued, “If Armand had not been helping you behind the scenes back then, it would have been
a piece of cake for me to employ someone else to bring down Specter Corporation for me with my
father's status.”

Cooper caught on. “The Bensons are not involved in politics. There's no reason for the Gaudettes to
bring them down.”

“That's precisely why it was so easy for them to take the Bensons down—because nobody in the
Bensons was involved in politics.” Sally crossed her arms and leaned on the couch. “I found that



Charlotte had a boyfriend before this, but Eurydice's cousin, Beatrix, stole him away. Charlotte has
been holding a grudge against her ever since. Beatrix was visibly upset after Charlotte taught her a
lesson that day. I could also tell that Beatrix's the type to bully others.”

Cooper instructed Bertilla to look into the Lowes as Sally was speaking. He received their information
shortly after.

After quickly scanning through the pages, he narrowed his eyes. “Beatrix's father runs a multinational
logistics company and is very wealthy. They're probably the ones supporting the Gaudettes financially
behind the scenes.”

Sally replied, “It's likely that Beatrix went to Eurydice for help after being bested.”

Benson Corporation was just small fry to the Gaudettes. They could have brought the corporation down
with a snap of their fingers if they wanted to.
