The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2516

It was precisely because of this that Sheldon did not even dare to take a single step out of Australia until his father had spoken up although he was very worried about Sophie's safety. 2

He did not even dare to call to question Lord Schulz about this matter. This was because he knew very well that he would suffer an even worse fate if he were to make the old man angry and frustrated. Jaime was still young, and he had never really experienced much in his life. The biggest and most serious experience that he had ever encountered in his life was when he had been kidnapped back in Japan. In truth, he had already panicked when he had gotten kidnapped the last time.

He had been frightened to death, and he could not calm himself down at all. He was not even half as calm as his sister, Sophie, was. So, the huge pressure and stress that Jaime bore at this time made him feel as though he could not breathe or catch his breath at all. 5

He desperately hoped for his father to come back so that he could become his pillar of support. However, even though he dared to disobey Lord Schulz, his

father did not dare to do so. 5

When Jaime heard his father asking him to wait longer, Jaime could not control his emotions anymore, and he shouted angrily, "You want to continue waiting?! What else are you waiting for?! Are you going to wait until you receive news about Mom and Sophie's death before you come back home to attend their funeral, then?!"

Sheldon felt as though every single word that his son had just said were tight slaps across his face. Each and every one of those words made him feel as though his heart was bleeding. However, Sheldon did not have any other choice at this time. 3

He had far more experiences in life as compared to Jaime.

He knew how to intentionally lose out a little in order to win some other form of advantages in the future, and he also knew how to plan and strategize before he took any actions.

He felt that anyone who would rush forward with their bare hands when the opponent had a gun in his hand was a brave but stupid man.

This kind of person would typically end up becoming cannon fodder for others. How could they possibly gain the opportunity to be the lead on the battlefield, then? 2

The fact that his son had angered the old man was already a very stupid act in his opinion. So, if he were to also disobey Lord Schulz's intentions at this time and return to the country during this sensitive period without Lord Schulz's consent, he would certainly make Lord Schulz feel even angrier and more frustrated. As soon as Lord Schulz thought that he was being rebellious, it would certainly be impossible for him to ever stand up again in this life. 6

Therefore, Sheldon could only try to patiently explain the situation to his son. "Jaime, I understand that you want me to go back and help you, but you should also understand and know your grandfather's character very well, right? If I were to try and go back to the country now, I might have already lost my freedom even before you have the opportunity to see me at all. In fact, when that happens, it might even be possible that you will never have a chance to see me again in this life." 2

As he spoke, Sheldon hesitated for a few seconds before he said seriously, "Jaime, listen to me for once. It is already too late today. You should replace a place to settle down for the night in Aurous Hill first. After ensuring your own safety, tomorrow, you can contact your Grandpa Dunn and ask your grandpa and uncle to send some men over to Aurous Hill to help you replace out about your mother and sister's whereabouts. Give me one more day. If your grandfather does not contact me at all, I will contact him and plead with him, then. I will make sure that he allows me to return to the country no matter what it is!" Jaime was very angry and frustrated, and he really felt like cursing. 2

However, after calming down, he also understood that what his father had just said was not without reason a tall.

On the contrary, his father had already thought everything through carefully. He had indeed acted a little too impulsively.

As he thought about this, he whispered, "Dad, I understand now... you don't have to worry about me anymore. I will call Grandpa Dunn in a short while. After that, I will contact you again if something else happens." 2

Sheldon hummed slightly before he said, "Don't call your grandpa tonight. I'm guessing he must also be planning how to replace your mother and sister now.

Don't disturb him. Talk about it tomorrow!" 2

As he was speaking, he suddenly received a notification that he had another incoming call at this time. Sheldon was surprised, and he exclaimed, "Your grandfather is calling me!" 3
