Yuvin hurriedly said, "Okay, Father."

Arrington smiled as he chimed in, "Thank you for the trouble, Yuvin!"

Yuvin was not a senior like his father. So, he was still very respectful toward Arrington. He bowed slightly a s he said respectfully, "Butler Schulz, you don't have to be so polite with me. Please wait a moment, and I'll be right back." 3

Holden invited Arrington to sit on the cold wooden chair. As soon as Arrington sat down, he could not help but stand up again as he laughed and said, "Oh, Lord Harker, I think that it would be better for me to wait for the charcoal fire to come before I sit down. It's really too cold. I cannot stand it..."

Holden nodded and said, "Sorry for our poor hospitality."

Arrington hurriedly waved his hand. "No, no. I'm the one who was acting presumptuously, coming to bother you at night.

Holden did not continue being courteous with him, and he spoke up as he asked, "Arrington, I wonder why Lord Schulz asked you to come here this time?"

Arrington said, "Lord Harker, this is the case. Lord

Schulz has indeed felt very guilty and ashamed because of Rosalie's incident. Lord Schulz knows that you must be feeling very angry toward him deep down in your heart. So, he sent me here to convey his apology to you. In addition, he hopes that the Harker family and the Schulz family would be able to bury the hatchet and turn this hostility into friendship again." 4

Holden forced his laughter twice before he said," Arrington, please go back and tell Lord Schulz that Rosalie's last name is Schulz after all. Even though it was the Harker family who raised her to adulthood, from the day she was sent back to the Schulz family, it was already equivalent to returning Rosalie to the Schulz family. Since Lord Schulz decided to sacrifice Rosalie for the sake of the Schulz family, although I'm Rosalie's grandfather, I'm still an outsider in this matter. So, Lord Schulz does not need to apologize to me. 4

Holden was not saying these words from the bottom of his heart.

In truth, he loved Rosalie very much.

He also had great resentment in his heart because Cadfan had betrayed Rosalie.

Still, he knew that his strength was too far off as compared to the Schulz family's strength. If he were to say that he was holding a grudge against the Schulz family in front of Arrington, he would inevitably be turning the Schulz family into his enemy.

So, he was deliberately using this method, saying that Rosalie was a member of the Schulz family and that he was nothing more than an outsider. On one hand, he would be able to avoid offending the Schulz family directly regarding this topic, and on the other hand, he could also implicitly express his dissatisfaction toward the Schulz family.

After all, Holden felt that there was no need for him to continue befriending and maintaining a relationship with someone willing to sacrifice his granddaughter. S o, Holden felt that it'd be best for them to go their separate ways in the future without harassing each other again. 2

Arrington was a very intelligent and witty person. So, how could he not understand the meaning behind Holden's words?

But he was still very quick-witted as he spoke up," Lord Harker, you're right. Since Rosalie is the eldest master's illegitimate daughter, she is naturally of the Schulz family's bloodline. However, even if that is the case, Lord Schulz still feels very guilty toward you and the Harker family. After all, there is also half of the Harker family's blood flowing through Rosalie's veins ..." 2

Holden was a little annoyed and frustrated. He realized that it seemed as though Arrington was constantly very unwilling to move the topic away from Rosalie. 2

Holden did not want to continue getting into a dispute with the Schulz family over this topic. So, why was Arrington still holding onto this topic?

Just as he was feeling very puzzled, Arrington spoke u p, "Lord Harker, in truth, what Lord Schulz is trying to say is that the relationship between the Harker family and the Schulz family are not just the ordinary relationship between a master and servant. After all, the Harker family has bred a bloodline for the Schulz family. So, Lord Schulz feels deeply guilty, and he really hopes that he would be able to give the Harker family a certain amount of compensation for this matter." 3

As they were speaking, Holden's eldest son, Yuvin, walked in carrying an iron charcoal firepot. As soon as he heard this, he was overjoyed. As he placed the charcoal firepot in front of Arrington, he could not contain his surprise as he waited for Arrington to follow up on his words.

He wanted to know what Lord Schulz was willing to give the Harker family as compensation to make amends. 3

At this moment, Arrington placed his hand into his inner pocket before he pulled out a cheque and handed it over to Holden as he spoke up, "Lord Harker, this is a cheque for one billion dollars. Lord Schulz has entrusted me with the task of handing this over to you!" 6
