Chapter 1827
After hearing the old master's words, Clayton admitted in embarrassment, "Father, you've previously talked about having an arranged marriage with Schulz family. You wanted Sophie as Wade family's daughter-in-law, but you did not select a suitable groom."Jeremiah chipped in, "Didn't we agree on it last time? The son of Curtis is the best candidate.""But Stephen previously mentioned that Curtis' son did not want to come back to the family. I think he might even hate us," replied Clayton.Jeremiah waved his hand. "It's not up to you or me to determine whether or not the kid hates us."Caleb, who was by his side, quickly asked, "Father, are you saying you'd want to look for Curtis' son and ask him to return to the family?"Jeremiah nodded. "Indeed. It's on my mind, but I'm unsure how I should persuade him."Clayton suddenly felt threatened, tremendous pressure bearing down on him. He quickly interjected, "Father, Curtis' son has been away from home for so many years! He is uncontro

Clayton was extraordinarily depressed, but he couldn’t bring himself to object. So, he tried to pull the main topic back to the spotlight. “Father, shouldn’t we be discussing our venture in Japan? You just mentioned there should be no direct confrontation with Schulz family. So what should we do now?”“We cannot be too obvious in exposing ourselves, but you can send someone to meet Ito Yahiko in private,” replied Jeremiah.Clayton started to feel a little irritated. He suddenly had an idea to head over to Tokyo to clear his mind, and thus, volunteered. “Father, why don’t I fly to Tokyo tomorrow morning and meet up with Ito Yahiko.”Jeremiah nodded, but his reply surprised Clayton. “We must definitely meet him, but the person meeting him should not be you.”Taken aback, Clayton asked. “Father, what do you mean?”Jeremiah replied, “Previously, the Schulz’ sent their younger generation to meet Ito family. If Wade family were to send you, however, it just doesn’t seem right. It’ll loo

It would be a shame not to praise him, but Sheldon’s acting skills were indeed on point.If it weren’t because Ito Yahiko already knew what a rotten person he was, he would’ve easily been deceived by his warm smile and friendly approach.Although Yahiko felt disgusted, he still forced a smile and replied, “You’re way too polite, Mr. Schulz. When you arrived in Japan, I wanted to personally welcome you at the airport and arrange the hotel stay for you, but I didn’t expect to encounter so many incidents either.”Sheldon hurriedly replied, “Oh, there’s no need to be so courteous, Mr. Ito. We the Schulz and Ito family have a long defining history. We will definitely continue to strengthen our cooperation and deepen our relationship in the future. Why should we be bothered over something so insignificant?”Ito Yahiko saw through his hypocrisy and wanted to hurl his breakfast out, but all he could do was nod his head in agreement. “You’re right. We shouldn’t be so bothered over something

Rescuing the duo was purely coincidental.The only clue they had of him was that he was an Oskian.There was nothing else they knew about him.Sheldon initially wanted Rosalie to look into this mysterious man’s background.But now that the police force, ministry of foreign affairs, and the Japanese department of homeland security were going all out to capture his men, he could only give up on that idea.He needed to send Rosalie back to their country first to prevent the Japanese government from laying hand on her.If they were to be captured by the Japanese government, it would be challenging to escape capital punishment, considering how severe the incident was. Even if they were able to escape the death sentence, they would still be thrown into jail for the rest of their lives!Sheldon’s only option was to discard that thought for now wholly. Now that Ito Yahiko brought up this person again, Sheldon deliberately asked, “Mr. Ito, that mysterious person who was said to protect

Upon hearing this, Sheldon’s sword-like eyebrows knitted slightly.Naturally, he was not satisfied with Yahiko’s plan.However, he knew very well that Yahiko just amputated his leg. To put it bluntly, the bloody scab of his wound was still fresh. At the moment, it was rather unrealistic to let him immediately push forward such a large project.Moreover, Yahiko’s daughter seemed to be very young, whose age was about the same as his own daughter, Sophie.Under such circumstances, it was indeed difficult for him to immediately make a decision and execute the project.Hence, Sheldon said seriously, “Ito-san, you should have a good rest and take care of yourself during this period of time. When you are discharged from the hospital, I will pay you a visit and discuss the collaboration in detail by the way. What do you think?”Yahiko nodded without hesitation and replied with a gleeful smile, “If Schulz-san visits Tokyo again, I’ll definitely wine and dine you when I get better!”Sheld

Sheldon nodded and said with a dash of arrogance on his face, “I hope the Tokyo Police Department and Homeland Security can understand this reason. There are times where necessary surgeries must be performed. Leaving cancerous tissues around will only drag down the whole city. Flying over here, I just did the favor by performing a precise surgical operation on Tokyo to remove the cancerous cells!”Yahiko nodded in agreement, but spat in his heart, Damn, this Sheldon Schulz is really outrageous and he’s getting more shameless as he speaks!Sheldon looked at the time and said with a smile, “Ito-san, since you’re still recovering from your wound, I won’t bother you anymore. These nutritional tonics that I brought you are made from excellent natural herbs and ingredients. Take them and ask your servants to boil them for you later; they can help speed up your recovery.”With that, Sheldon extended his right hand and said, “Since both of us have the intention of having in-depth cooperatio

When the elevator door opened, Sheldon took the lead and stepped out of it.When Charlie saw the elevator coming, he was about to gesture Nanako beside him to go in first. At this moment, Sheldon had already stepped out.Upon stepping out of the elevator, Sheldon and Charlie’s eyes met.At this moment, Sheldon subconsciously frowned slightly as a familiar yet ambiguous aura suddenly burst in his heart and made him nervous.As for Charlie, although he did not know the man in front of him, he couldn’t help but steal another glimpse at him after seeing the man’s eyes full of wariness and surprise.The man, in his early fifties, had an ordinary look and figure but dressed very lavishly. There was a dash of hostility over his brows, indicating that he was a ruthless and vicious person.Their encounter happened within a blink of an eye.Since Charlie was with Nanako, he did not pay too much attention to the man. After brushing against him, he entered the elevator with Nanako.When th
Chapter 1834
Since Curtis had a fiancée yet unmarried, Helen felt a ray of hope and was unwilling to give up, hoping to marry Curtis.This humiliation was vivid in Sheldon’s memory as the woman that he had proposed to did not only rejected his marriage proposal but also announced publicly that she was still waiting for another man. Ever since then, he hated Curtis to the core of his soul.Not long after, Curtis got married in Eastcliff.That night, Helen cried devastatingly and then refused to leave the house for a month.Every day, Sheldon would go to the Dunn residence with flowers to see her, and it went on for thirty-nine days. With thirty-nine roses, he finally won Helen’s heart.Helen, who had lost nearly twenty pounds, walked out of her room and out of the house. She said a sentence to Sheldon, who was holding a bouquet of roses outside the door.She asked Sheldon if he was still willing to marry her if she might not be able to forget Curtis for the rest of her life.Sheldon agreed
