When Jefferson let out a sigh, it made everyone somewhat grimace in regret.Lady Dunn hurriedly pinched him on the waist and chided in a low voice, “Shush! Stop rubbing it in! Hurry and get in to get ready for dinner!”Jefferson sighed and said, “Well, Helen is so big now. She is more open-minded than we are. I’m also just stating my opinion. You don’t have to be too discreet about it.”Helen nodded and said seriously, “That’s right, Mom. I’m not angry or sad at all. You don’t have to be so sensitive.”Lady Dunn was shocked. “Helen, you’re truly not angry at Sheldon for keeping this secret from you for so many years?”Helen said earnestly, “Nope, I’m not angry. Instead, I feel relieved.”Jefferson laughed. “Wonderful! I’m happy to know that you’ve moved on! Frankly speaking, I’ve always felt that you’ve been unhappy over the years. Now that you’ve moved on, I’m heartily happy for you.”Helen nodded with a smile. “Thanks, Father!”Jefferson laughed out loud and beckoned, “Let’s

After smoking the same cigarette for twenty years, the tobacco company had improved its factory’s production line, upgraded the formula, and replaced the cigarette paper and filter material.Everyone felt that the upgraded version was more exquisite and upscale than before, but Jefferson felt that the taste was not right and could not adapt to it. Later, he had even fallen sick because of this.When his subordinates had heard about his hospitalization, he had hurriedly gone to visit him. After learning that Jefferson’s illness had been caused by the difference in the taste of the cigarette he had smoked for twenty years, he immediately called and made the tobacco company restart the discontinued production line that had been dismantled and was ready for scrapping, and they produced the original version of the cigarettes for Jefferson alone. Miraculously, it had instantly cured his illness.However, Jefferson felt guilty for abusing his influence and power, so he specifically ask

While the entire Dunn family was indulged in the happy and harmonious ambiance, Sheldon had packed his luggage and was ready to depart for Australia.He was in a very passive position this time. His father had explicitly told him to lie low before the dust settled, so he could only do so upon his command.Before leaving, he called Jaime and said, “Jaime, come to my study with your sister.”Jaime hurriedly said, “Okay, Dad. We’ll come over right now.”After saying that, he ended the call and said, “Hey, Sophie, Dad wants to see us in his study.”Sophie huffed agitatedly, “You go by yourself. I don’t want to see him!”Sophie was still having a hard time accepting the fact that her father had cheated on her mother and had an illegitimate daughter who was only a year younger than her, so she was very reluctant to see Sheldon right now.Jaime persuaded in a helpless tone, “Sophie, as their children, we should not interfere with our parents’ business so much. Besides, are you really g

Jaime said furiously, “Dad! Grandpa is too much! He was the one who sold Rosalie out! Frankly speaking, he is a sly fox who betrayed his own granddaughter! Not only did he not think about how to solve the immediate crisis, but he even pushed you out as a target! He is really too much!”Sheldon waved his hand and said seriously, “You can talk about it here, but don’t you say anything when you get out of this room, do you hear me? This is how your grandfather is like, anyway…”“In his eyes, personal interests are the most important element, and everything is sacrificable for the sake of personal interests.”“He can hand Rosalie over to the Japanese Self-Defense Force today; who knows if he will hand any of us over to some other group tomorrow? So, when you’re around him, remember this: he who rules the family is like a tiger!”Jaime nodded solemnly.Sheldon added, “After I leave, accompany your mother more, apologize to her on my behalf, and throw in some good words for me, will you

As Jaime and Sheldon were talking, Sheldon’s phone suddenly rang.He glanced at the screen, and the caller ID indicated that it was his brother, Steven.Thinking of his sinister act of adding insult to injury at the most critical moment, Sheldon’s face twisted into a disdainful grimace, and he became extremely upset.He clicked on the loudspeaker and asked coldly, “What?”Steven chuckled and said, “Hey, Sheldon, the car as well as the plane are ready. It’s time to send you to the airport.”Grinding his teeth in dismay, Sheldon replied in a cold voice, “Okay. I’ll have a few more words with Jaime and come down soon.”Steven quickly said, “Sheldon, you’d better not delay this any longer. Father is waiting for my update. He wants you to leave as soon as possible.”Sheldon held back his anger and said, “Okay, I’ll be there in five minutes!”“Alright!” Steven laughed. “I’ll be waiting for you at the door, and I’ll personally send you to the airport later!”Sheldon ended the call wi

The driver immediately started the car and left.Jaime watched the car leave the residence courtyard, feeling utterly at a loss.Tonight was more tormenting than the night he and Sophie had been kidnapped.At that time, they had faced only a life-threatening situation.But tonight, he had experienced a series of astonishing changes such as his father’s illegitimate daughter, his parents’ broken marriage, as well as his father losing his power and being exiled to Australia.He was not only worried about his parents’ relationships and his father’s future, but also his own future.Before tonight, his father was the heir of the entire Schulz family, which made him the heir apparent after his father.However, tonight’s change had transformed everything.His father had lost the favor and trust of his grandfather.
