The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2720

Sophie did not know what her mother was thinking, but she was indeed feeling extremely excited to fulfill her wish and obtain her heart's desire. She was also harboring expectations and fantasies for the future. 6

She thought to herself, 'Although this kind of matter, where the hero saves the beauty, sounds very cliche and absurd, that is because most people have never had the opportunity to encounter something like this in their life. It is only when this kind of thing happens to them directly that they would be able to feel the lethality and destructive power behind it. When I think about how he was the one who saved my life, I cannot help but develop a mentality where I want to commit myself to him entirely...' 7

'Most importantly, my benefactor did not only save me once, but he has actually saved me twice! He saved my brother once, my mother once, and he has saved my half-sister, who is currently beside me, once too...' 4

'One life-saving grace would already be unforgettable for a lifetime, not to mention so many repeated times, stacking up again and again.'

'However, I wonder if my benefactor feels the same way toward me, or whether he is still single now?'

Sophie's thoughts were very confused at this point.

She wanted to ask Charlie about it, but she did not know how to bring it up.

Charlie was the one who took the lead in breaking the silence.

He looked at Helen before he spoke up respectfully," Aunt Dunn, I'm truly sorry for keeping you and your daughter here during this time and for not allowing the both of you to have any contact with anyone outside. I'm truly sorry for that." 3

Helen hurriedly said, "Charlie, you shouldn't be saying things like that. If it weren't for you, Sophie and I would have already died a long time ago. How could we possibly manage to stay alive and survive safe and sound, then?"

As she spoke, she added, "What's more, I understand very well that the reason why you're not allowing us to contact anyone outside is because you want to protect us and ensure our safety." Charlie smiled slightly as he said, "Aunt Dunn, if you can understand my intentions, it cannot be any better, then."

After that, Charlie said again, "Although I'm not too sure whether the Schulz family will continue to attack you after replaceing out the news that you're still alive, I've already exposed everything that the Schulz family had done to you before this to the public. So, I believe that if the Schulz family is not completely insane, they would not dare to attack you again."

Helen pursed her lips before she nodded gently and said, "This is all thanks to you. Otherwise, Sophie and I would have already suffered a dubious death..."

Charlie smiled slightly before he continued speaking," Aunt Dunn, in principle, both you and Sophie are already free to leave now. However, I have a presumptuous request that I hope that you'll be able to agree to."

Helen hurriedly said, "Charlie, you don't need to be so polite with me. Please do not hesitate to mention it if you have any requests!"

Charlie said, "Sheldon Schulz will be sent off to Syria soon. So, he will go completely missing in the eyes of the Schulz family and the public very soon. When that time comes, the Schulz family will certainly go all out to search for his whereabouts. If I were to let you and Miss Schulz leave now, the Schulz family would certainly assume that Sheldon Schulz's disappearance is related to the both of you. So, when that time comes, I hope that the both of you will be able to temporarily keep this a secret on my behalf."

Helen nodded without any hesitation as she said," Charlie, you can rest assured. Sophie and I will never repay your kindness with enmity. If someone were to ask about our whereabouts over the past few days, I'll say that we were rescued by a mysterious person, and I do not know anything about that mysterious person's identity. If they feel that Sheldon's disappearance is also related to this, they can continue guessing by themselves. No matter what it is, I'll continue denying it to the end."

Charlie paid his respects to Helen by cupping one of his hands over the other before he looked at Sophie and said seriously, "I hope that Miss Schulz will help me too."

Sophie could not help but feel a little nervous because Charlie was suddenly speaking to her.

However, at the same time, she also felt a little entangled in her heart. 4

She was a member of the Schulz family after all. If Charlie considered the Schulz family to be his mortal enemy deep down in his heart, and if he were to continue launching an offensive toward the Schulz family in the future, she would certainly be placed in a very difficult spot as a descendant of the Schulz family.

After thinking about it, she asked Charlie in a low voice, "Benefactor... I can agree to your request, but can you answer one of my questions?"

Charlie nodded before he said magnanimously, "No problem. Speak up."

Sophie plucked up the courage to ask him, "How will you treat the Schulz family in the future? Will you continue fighting the Schulz family until your last breath, or will you let the Schulz family go?" Charlie spoke up, "Whether I'll let go or continue fighting the Schulz family, that will depend on how big of a part the Schulz family had played in my parents' death." 6
