To win Donald over, Cadfan asked his butler to bring some gifts with him when he went to visit the Webb family.

The Schulz family's chief butler had the same qualifications and status as Stephen, and he might even be more powerful in comparison. Besides, the chief butler not only represented himself, but he also represented the head of the Schulz family, Cadfan. Therefore, the fact that Cadfan was asking the chief butler to visit Donald in person was already giving the Webb family a lot of face.

Cadfan attached great importance to winning the Webb family over. That was the reason why he had personally sent the chief butler to visit them on his behalf.

Cadfan also knew very well that he was already a person that was hated by everyone right now.

Therefore, it would be impossible for him to return to Eastcliff within this short period of time.

Therefore, he would have to be prepared to stay in Sudbury for a long time.

This incident gave him the feeling of similarity to the period of history when Eastcliff was invaded in 1860. The king hurriedly fled in panic at that time, just like

what Cadfan was doing right now.

However, the king had had an even more miserable fate.

He had waited for a year, but he did not even have the opportunity to return to the capital. As a result, he had died in the second year after making his escape. He had only been thirty-one years old back then.

In order not to allow a repeat of the king's misery, Cadfan had already made a comprehensive plan for himself as soon as he had fled from Eastcliff.

He would slowly and quietly establish a foothold in Sudbury as soon as he arrived here. At that time, he would not only win and bring all of the top and most influential local families in Sudbury over to his side, but he would also quickly transfer all of the Schulz family's industries across the country over to Sudbury so that he could consolidate and strengthen the Schulz family's presence in Sudbury.

He wanted to turn Sudbury into the Schulz family's second strongest base.

Not only that, but he also wanted to bring his eldest son, Sheldon, up again so that he could serve as the acting chairman of the entire Schulz Group.

As soon as Sheldon took on the responsibility and role as the acting chairman of the board, this would mean that Sheldon would formally be established as the ' prince' of the Schulz family. This way, Cadfan would not only be able to make sure that Sheldon would adhere to all of his instructions and act obediently following his will, but he would also be able to reduce the public's scrutiny and attention on him to a certain extent.

Cadfan was thinking of drawing Sheldon over, so that Sheldon could show his face in public, and act as Cadfan's puppet, while Cadfan would then continue ruling behind the scenes as he remained hidden in Sudbury. That way, Cadfan would be able to ensure that Sheldon would not be able to weaken his power.

Cadfan had already been in control of the entire Schulz family for so many years, and he had power and control over the entire Schulz family regardless of whether it was the shares of Schulz Group, the voting rights and veto rights of the board of directors, or even the management rights of the Schulz family's trust fund.

Therefore, as long as he refused to transfer these rights, even if Sheldon were to take on the position as the acting chairman of Schulz Group, he would not possess any real power, let alone have the opportunity to seek usurpation.

Moreover, Cadfan was an extremely fine and meticulous man. He had already made a will. Upon his death, all of the property and assets of the Schulz family would automatically be handed over to the management of the trust fund established by the Swiss Bank. Even though the Schulz family had properties and assets amounting to more than one trillion dollars, not a single one of the Schulz family members had the right to transfer the money or assets out at all. They would only be able to receive living expenses from the trust fund every month per the rules set by Cadfan. 5

As for the standard of living expenses, Cadfan had also set it clearly. Each of his sons and daughters would be able to receive a living expense of ten million dollars a month, and their respective spouses would be able to receive five million dollars a month. As for his grandchildren, they would receive six million dollars a month, and their spouses would subsequently receive three million dollars a month. If any of his grandchildren had any children, each of his descendants would be able to receive an allowance of two million dollars a month before they turned eighteen. 4

According to Cadfan's will, if he did not change his will before his death, then after his death, the entire Schulz family's descendants would only be able to receive two to three hundred million dollars' worth of living expenses in a single month.

However, even though the Schulz family's assets exceeded one trillion dollars and had a monthly net profit of more than ten billion dollars, no one would be eligible to use the remaining money at all. The money could only be put into the trust fund to continuously generate profit. 5

It seemed very unfair to his children and grandchildren, such as Sheldon, because even if they were to continue receiving money as living expenses until the day they died, the Schulz family's wealth would continue growing. 2

However, the reason why Cadfan did this, was because he had his own plans.

First of all, this would work as Cadfan's protection amulet.

This was because none of the descendants of the Schulz family would have any intentions to murder Cadfan, then.

The reason was simply because if Cadfan were to die, they would not only be unable to inherit the position as the head of the Cadfan family, but their income would also be greatly reduced. 4

Each of their families could originally earn a few billion, or tens of billion a year and they could even obtain a lot of other sort of support and resources from the family. However, if Lord Schulz were to die, all of them would only be receiving a fixed allowance. It would be pretty good if each of their families could receive even a few hundred million dollars a year. Their income would instantly shrink tens, dozens or ever hundreds of times.
