The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2848

Sophie's rebuke gave Jaime a headache.

He could not help but question Sophie in his heart,' Although it is indeed true that Grandpa really tried to kill mom, does that mean that Mom does not have any responsibility for this matter, then?'

'As the daughter-in-law of the Schulz family, she was always thinking about that dead man named Curtis Wade. Besides that, she even went to publicly bid for the mansion that Curtis Wade used to live in back then. Wasn't she simply embarrassing the Schulz family, then?' 3

'Also, all of us are adults now. Does hatred truly matter anymore? The Schulz family has trillions of dollars worth of fortune. Should we really draw a clear line and boundary with our grandfather just because he attacked Mom brutally?' 6

'If we were to draw a clear line with him, that would be equivalent to us drawing a clear line with the Schulz family's trillion dollars worth of family fortune. Wouldn't we end up losing out in the end?'

'If we lose the right to inherit the Schulz family's assets, what will happen to both of our lives in the future?'

'You should not forget that our last name is Schulz, not Dunn. Could it be that you're expecting our grandparents from the Dunn family to give us a share of the inheritance?'

However, Jaime could only say these words in his heart, and he could not say these words in front of his younger sister. 2

This was because he understood his younger sister very well. He knew that Sophie had a very strong sense of right and wrong to the point that it was actually very terrifying and had almost no room for mediation at all. If he were to say so directly, not only would Sophie never listen to him, but she might also end up falling out with him. 4

As he thought about this, Jaime felt extremely depressed and thought to himself, 'Sigh. You're much more suitable for the middle name 'Adel' as compared to me.'

As he thought about that in his heart, Jaime agreed with Sophie's point of view as he nodded repeatedly and said, "Sophie, you're right. It is indeed impossible to forgive a person for this kind of thing. Not to mention you, but I might not be able to forgive either."

Sophie did not say anything because she knew that her elder brother would certainly have more to say since he had said these words.

As predicted.

Jaime suddenly turned the conversation around as he sighed and said, "But to be honest, we'll not be able to obtain any benefits at all even if we were to go against Grandpa. We will not be able to inflict any substantial punishments on him either."

After pausing for a moment, Jaime spread out his hands. "Take what you've just said for instance. You want him to accept legal sanctions, but that is simply impossible. Grandpa has always been very cautious and he has always had more than just one firewall. Do you have any direct evidence to prove that he had deliberately killed someone?"

"As long as we do not have any direct evidence, he can just say that you're deliberately trying to slander him. If it is still impossible, he could simply push someone out to take the blame on his behalf instead!" "He will be able to replace so many people who would be willing to take the blame on his behalf. As long as he says the word, do you know how many people would be willing to rush forward to take the blame for him? Do you know how many scapegoats Arrington Schulz has been raising for Grandpa?! You cannot even count them all! They are all grandpa's firewalls!" 4

"If we do not have the Schulz family's resources and connections, don't even mention taking grandpa down, but we might not even be able to take Arrington Schulz down!" i

Sophie was simply listening silently. After Jaime was done speaking, she questioned him, "When did I ever say that I wanted to take him down?"

Jaime also asked, "Then, what are you trying to do?"

Sophie said seriously, "He might have many ways to escape legal sanctions if I accuse him, but you should know that if I do not accuse him, he will not even need to escape at all! What I want is justice! I want justice in many ways! I do not want outcome justice, but I also want process justice and procedural justice! I know that it would be very difficult for me to gain outcome justice, but procedural justice is within my power and abilities. So, I'm going to launch an accusation against him first today!"

Jaime was very frustrated. 1

In truth, he knew that Sophie actually had very little influence. 3
