So, Sophie quickly put her manuscript away indifferently and rubbed her cheeks amidst her somewhat cold and stiff expression.

After trying her best to make herself look as natural as she could, she spoke up, "Brother, you can just come in. The door is unlocked."

Jaime hurriedly pushed the door open and entered.

As soon as he entered, he immediately locked the room door first before looking at Sophie.

When he saw that there was nothing unusual about Sophie's expression, he smiled and said, "Sophie, why have you suddenly decided to hold a press conference?"

Sophie said seriously, "Such a major incident happened in the tunnel that time. The people in the whole country have been very concerned about my mother and my safety. I feel that there is a need for me to explain things to the public so that those goodhearted people who are worried and concerned about us can finally rest assured."

"Oh..." Jaime nodded gently and smiled as he said, "So, that is the case! You're right! Ever since you and Mom met with an accident, the people in the whole country have been very worried and concerned about your safety!"

"Moreover, there are many people who have gone out spontaneously to look for various valuable clues.

There are even people on the internet who have set up a lot of analysis groups so that everyone can work together as a group to analyze the clues that are related to the incident. All of them were really very enthusiastic!"

"There is indeed a need for us to let them know about the news that Mom and you have already returned safely!"

"That's right." Sophie nodded before she pretended to be curious as she asked, "By the way, Brother, didn't you go to the venue to work? Why did you especially make a trip back home just because of such a small matter?"

Jaime forced a smile as he said, "Sigh! Isn't it all because I was worried about you? I was afraid that you would get too emotional when you think about all these things as you're preparing for the press conference. That is why I decided to come back and see you."

Sophie said softly, "Thank you, Brother!"

"We're brother and sister. So, why are you being so polite with me?"

Jaime patted Sophie's head and spoke up, "Oh, by the way, what are you intending to say at the press

conference this time?"

Sophie casually replied, "Actually, there is nothing much that I want to say. I have already summarized everything, and there are basically just three main points." "The first point is to tell everyone that my mother and I are already back safely so that everyone can rest assured."

"The second point is to tell everyone that the both of us were saved by a mysterious benefactor. At the same time, he was also the one who gave us very high-level medical treatment. On one hand, I can take this opportunity to thank my benefactor, and on the other hand, I can also eliminate the netizens' curiosity. I guess that many people would really like to know how the both of us could actually survive such a serious car accident."

"As for the third point, I want to explain my attitude toward this matter. After all, everyone in the whole country knows that the Schulz family was behind this whole matter. They even know that grandpa was the one who was in control of everything. I want to call him out through the press conference. I want him to come out, apologize to us, and take the initiative to go to the police station to turn himself in. After all, he is already being suspected of intentional homicide." 4

As soon as Jaime heard these words, he immediately felt very nervous, and he blurted out, "Sophie, the first two points are fine, but don't you think that the third point is a little too radical?" "Radical?!" Sophie questioned her elder brother in return, "He tried to attack Mom first, and he nearly killed the both of us! I'm only asking him to come out and apologize to us as well as face the legal sanction. How is that considered radical? What would his behavior count as, then? Ruthless, heartless, and worse than a beast?!"

Jaime was blushing out of shame as he said, "Sophie, you have to know that no matter what it is, he is still our grandfather. Moreover, amongst all of the many younger brothers and sisters, he has always loved and doted on you the most! Just look at the names he had given us. Which one of the names does not show his high demands? You are the only one whom he wishes to be happy, and nothing else matters to him..."

Sophie looked at Jaime, and she already felt extremely and deeply disappointed deep down in her heart.

At this moment, she could already confirm that her elder brother was, in fact, standing on the side of her grandfather, who was a murderer! 2

However, she did not express her disappointment. Instead, she simply nodded slightly and said indifferently, "Brother, I admit that everything that you've said is right, but a person has to be fair and objective when getting things done!"

"So, many things have to be sorted out like items, one piece at a time. The things that he has done this time are not the same thing as the things that he had done in the past!" "I cannot forgive him for the fact that he was going to kill my mother just because he treated me very well in the past!" 5
