The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2709

"I know." Helen smiled slightly as he said, "The both of us are husband and wife after all. I know that even if you hate me, you might not necessarily be willing to kill me."

At this time, Sophie rushed toward Sheldon as she blurted out, "Dad! Why did Grandpa do this?! Why would he want to kill my mother?!"

Sheldon was extremely ashamed as he said, "Your grandpa, he... his behavioral style has always been like this. However, he was actually just targeting your mother, and he was not targeting you at all. He really did not expect that you would also be there at that time..."

Sophie blurted out angrily, "What is the difference between him targeting my mother or him targeting m e?! He sent someone to kill my mother. Didn't he think about the fact that I would actually look for him to take revenge on him in the future?!"

Sheldon was suddenly speechless and at a complete loss for words.

After hesitating for a while, he sighed as he said," What else could I do? I had to leave for Australia overnight with just one sentence from him. After that, I also had to come back from Australia because of just one sentence from him. He has full control of all of the Schulz family's resources, and everyone in the Schulz family has either been completely fooled by him or is under his control..." Sophie questioned him angrily, "Rosalie Schulz is also your daughter! Her life and death are still unknown now, all because of Grandpa! The reason why my mother and I nearly died in Aurous Hill is also entirely because he was instigating everything behind the scenes! Three people, three lives! Isn't that sufficient reason for you to avenge us?!"

Sheldon was extremely ashamed and embarrassed. He covered his face with both of his hands as he cried bitterly. "I... I wanted to do that too! But what could I possibly do?! If I were to leave the Schulz family and break off all relations with your grandfather, the resources that I'll be able to mobilize will probably be less than 1% of that of the Schulz family. Don't even mention taking revenge for you, at that time, it would be very difficult for me to even protect myself! So, I could only bear the humiliation and disgrace so that I could deal with this matter after further consideration as soon as I took over the position as head of the Schulz family..."

Sophie shook her head, and she had an extremely disappointed look on her face as she said, "Dad, I understand your personality very well. Even if you became the head of the Schulz family, you would not think about avenging us. You would only work hard as the head of the Schulz family, and you would simply forget about everything else very quickly."

Sheldon waved his hand and said, "No... No... How could I possibly be that kind of person?!"

Charlie spoke up coldly at this time, "You dare to say that you're not that kind of person?! What were you doing when your daughters' life and death were still unknown? Why don't you tell us why you came to Aurous Hill this time, in front of your wife and daughter?"

Sheldon blurted out, "I naturally came to Aurous Hill to replace out about their whereabouts!"

"Did you replace anything?" Charlie sneered as he said, "I have my informers all over Aurous Hill. However, I've never heard anything about you looking for your wife and daughter. I only know that the reason why you secretly came to Aurous Hill and secretly checked into Shangri-La was because you were looking for an opportunity to get closer to Ito Yahiko from Japan!" 4

"As for the reason why you're looking for him, it is because the Schulz family's shipping license had been revoked. The Schulz family is suffering from heavy losses every day. So, you want to collaborate and work together with the Ito family so that you can quietly transition your shipping business, which has already been banned, over to Japan. Am I right?" 2

"I... I..." Sheldon was at a loss for words for a moment before he hesitantly said, "This was the task my father had entrusted to me, and I did not dare to disobey him."

Charlie sneered as he said, "Come on, Sheldon. That's enough. What Sophie said just now is right. What you truly value the most in your eyes is the position as the head of the Schulz family. It is not about your love for your children at all. You would be willing to sacrifice anything, including your closest relatives, just for that position!"

Sheldon strongly denied it. "No! It's not like what you've just said! I'm willing to do anything for my daughters! However, I do not have the competence and capability! I was truly helpless!"

"Oh? Is that so?" Charlie looked at him before he sneered and asked, "Sheldon Schulz, you said that you were willing to do anything for your daughter? Do you mean it?"

Sheldon replied without any hesitation at all, "I swear to the heavens!"

Charlie nodded, and he smiled as he said, "I remember that you also said that you would be willing to sacrifice your life in exchange for the lives of your two daughters just now. So, this is the best time for us to test whether you were being sincere or not."

After he was done speaking, Charlie turned around and told Isaac, who was standing outside the room door, "Go. Bring the other guest here!"

Isaac naturally knew that the other guest that Charlie was talking about was none other than Rosalie!

So, he did not hesitate as he said, "Okay, Young Master. Please wait a minute. I'll go and invite the other party here now!" 9
