The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2793

"Yes..." Sophie hurriedly said, "It was all thanks to my benefactor that time. Otherwise, my brother and I would have already died in the hands of those Japanese ninjas." 2 Jefferson sighed heartily before he said, "He could easily kill multiple ninjas all by himself. This is simply too remarkable. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is a hero!" After saying that, Jefferson, who had a sudden thought, hurriedly asked again, "By the way, could he be the person who saved the both of you this time too?"

Sophie stammered and said, "This... well, I cannot be too sure. After all, I've not seen the person's true appearance. But it could be possible..."

Jefferson nodded and said, "The both of you, mother and daughter, are fated to have a benefactor to help you! No matter what it is, it's really great that the both of you are fine!" 4

As he spoke, Jefferson poured himself a glass of wine as he said in a loud voice, "Come! Let's have a drink together to celebrate Helen and Sophie's safe return!"

The whole family was extremely excited as they raised their glasses, one after the other.

At this moment, Jaime hurriedly ran in. 1

"Mom! Sophie!"

Jaime subconsciously shouted when he saw that his mother and younger sister were both completely unharmed as they sat at the table.

However, he was actually not that excited deep down in his heart.

In fact, he was even feeling a little disappointed. 3

Now that he could see for himself that his mother and younger sister were both safe and sound, he knew very well in his heart that he had already lost a huge advantage in front of his grandfather, Cadfan, in the future.

In his heart, he naturally had family affection and love for his mother and his younger sister.

However, compared to the Schulz family fortune that was worth trillions of dollars, feelings did seem to pale in comparison. 5

The greater the interest that was placed in front of a person, the more family affection would be even more insignificant.

This was a characteristic of human beings ever since ancient times. 4

During ancient times, regardless of whether it was in Oskia or abroad, there had been countless incidents of fratricides occurring in the royal family, 7

It was very common for fathers to kill their sons, sons to kill their fathers, and even brothers to kill one another in the royal family.

It was not that they did not have any family affection o r love for one another.

On the contrary, it was because family affection and love were not worth mentioning at all in the face of huge interests.

If this was a poor family, two brothers might fall out with one another or turn against one another and stay away from each other for the rest of their lives simply because of a small piece of land that their parents had left behind. But it would be difficult for them to kill their own brother because of a tiny piece of land. 7

However, when this tiny piece of land turned into the power and wealth of the entire kingdom, any kind of brother or even family affection would become less important.

At this time, Jaime's extreme sense of loss and disappointment was far greater than the comfort and relief that he felt in his heart. 4

However, he was able to hide it quite well, and no one could see anything unusual.

When Sophie saw him, her eyes flushed red in an instant. 3

She did not need to think about anything else, and she stood up before running toward Jaime as she threw herself into his arms and cried as she said, "Brother... I thought that I would never be able to see you again in this lifetime..." s
