'What does Sophie mean when she said 'some things'? Could it be that she is indeed in a relationship with our benefactor now?'

So, he hurriedly said, "Look at you. You're regarding m e as an outsider too. If both of you are indeed in a relationship, our benefactor will also be my brother-in-law in the future. We do not even know our father's whereabouts now. If the both of you are going to get married in the future and we are still unable to replace our father, perhaps I might even have to take on the responsibility to hand you over to our benefactor at the wedding. So, is there really anything that you cannot tell me?"

Sophie replied very seriously, "Brother, if I'm truly fortunate enough to be able to step into a marriage hall with our benefactor, I will naturally not hide anything from you. However, it is not the time yet." 6 Jaime realized that it was impossible for his younger sister to tell him the specific details. So, he simply sighed and said, "In truth, in the literary themes ever since ancient times, it has always been indispensable for the heroes to save the beauty. This is also a very understandable point. After all, which woman would be able to withstand the shock of being saved?"

Sophie followed his words as she nodded and smiled, saying, "That's right. You see, ever since I came back from Japan, my mind has always been somewhat unhinged, and I've been spending all day and night trying to replace our benefactor. I nearly went blind by simply looking at the airport surveillance videos. After all, a life-saving grace is simply too deeply rooted in a woman's heart."

After saying that, Sophie could not help but say emotionally, "God really seems to be showing me his favor. I initially thought that I'd never be able to meet our benefactor again in this lifetime. However, I never would have expected that he would save me again in Aurous Hill..."

When Jaime heard this, he could not help but ask, "By the way, Sophie, I've always been very curious about this. Is our benefactor an Oskian, or is he of Japanese descent? Did he save you in Aurous Hill this time because he was originally in Aurous Hill anyway, or was it because he had been secretly keeping watch over you all this time?" 3

The reason why Jaime was asking this question was because he wanted to get more information about their benefactor. If their benefactor was originally from Aurous Hill, he would certainly be able to narrow the scope down a lot all at once.

Sophie naturally did not fail to hear the true motive behind her brother's words. So, she pretended to blush, and she had an abashed expression on her face as she said shyly, "Sigh, brother! I cannot tell you this! Why don't you guess it for yourself, then?"

Jaime thought, 'You suddenly became so shy all of a sudden, and you look like a girl who is completely in love. So, do I still need to guess?'

'It's no wonder... it's no wonder why our benefactor appeared in Kyoto the last time and also in Aurous Hill this time. So, it turns out that he is here because of Sophie this time... Could it be possible that he also cannot seem to forget Sophie after the last time?'

'That's right! The timing seems to be right as well! Sophie came to Aurous Hill with Mom first, and the both of them have been staying in Aurous Hill for a few days before meeting with a mishap. I guess that our benefactor must have already gotten the news when Sophie first arrived in Aurous Hill...' 3

'Otherwise, how could our benefactor possibly have been able to save Sophie within such a short period of time...' 1

As he thought about this, Jaime began to feel even more panicked.

Both Jaime and his grandfather, Cadfan, were originally worried that this press conference would deliver an even more fatal blow to Lord Schulz's reputation. 3

But now, it seemed as though their benefactor, who was hiding in the shadows but possessed great and incredible strength, was actually the real danger that they needed to be wary of!

So, Jaime sighed and said, "Sigh, if there is a positive outcome for the relationship between you and our benefactor at the end of the day, then as your brother, I'll certainly be very happy for you. As for Grandpa, I'll not persuade you anymore, but I'd still like to advise you to think twice before you act. There is still some time left before the press conference, so you should think things through again first." Sophie knew that her elder brother was saying this because he wanted to temporarily terminate and end this conversation.

It was very likely that Jaime was planning to report the situation to Lord Schulz as soon as possible.

After all, Sophie had already brought their benefactor up, and she had even used him as a smokescreen.

Sophie must have fooled her elder brother completely now, and his cognition must have also been misled by her.

This was, in fact, Sophie's true purpose.

She knew that she had limited ability, and she did not have any strength or capabilities. So, she could only bring up her benefactor to intimidate them. 3

Although Sophie felt a little ashamed of herself, at the very least, she had only used her benefactor to intimidate the enemy, and she had not exposed any information or news about her benefactor at all. So, she said to Jaime, "Brother, you should not get involved in this matter. Just let me handle this on my own."

When Jaime saw Sophie's resolute attitude, he did not try to persuade her anymore. He planned to report the important information that he had found out to his grandfather first so that he could replace out what Lord Schulz's attitude on this matter would be. 4

As he thought about this, he did not speak too affirmatively as he sighed and said, "You can think about it carefully yourself first. You can also talk to me if you have any thoughts or ideas. I'll not be going to the venue anymore today. I'll go back to my room and lie down for a while."

"Okay."

Sophie then sent Jaime out of her room. As soon as the door closed, the expression on Sophie's face instantly became very cold. As for Jaime, he could no longer suppress his inner worries, and he hurried back to his room with a deeply troubled expression on his face... 5
