The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2853

Jaime knew that his younger sister was indeed smarter than him, but Lord Schulz's words really did hurt his pride a little.

At the same time, he could not help but think to himself, 'Could it be that Sophie was really just using me to pass the message on to Grandpa?' Cadfan did not have the time to care about Jaime's mood at this time, and he spoke up, "Alright, then.

Why don't we do this first? I'll give Sophie a call."

After saying that, Cadfan hung up the phone directly a s he called Sophie.

Sophie was sitting in front of her desk at this time, and her eyes were fixed on her cell phone which was placed on top of the desk.

When she saw that the cell phone was suddenly ringing, and when she saw the word 'Grandpa' written on it, she was finally relieved. 3

However, she did not pick up the cell phone to answer the call immediately. Instead, she waited until the phone had rung for the fourth time before she finally pressed the answer button.

As soon as the call was connected, Sophie asked in a cold voice, "Why are you calling me?"

When Cadfan heard Sophie questioning him, he hurriedly explained, "Sophie, the reason why Grandpa is calling you is because I want to apologize to you. Indeed, I am to be held fully responsible for what happened to you and your mother. However, I want to make things clear to you that I had never intended to hurt you in any way before. Everything that happened to you was nothing more than an accident." Sophie hummed slightly in response, and she was silent before she said, "I believe what you're saying about this, but the matter where you wanted to kill my mother was not just an accident, right?" 4 Cadfan knew that at this time, there was no need for any explanation or cover-up anymore.

They were all intelligent people, and there was naturally no way for him to whitewash himself from this kind of situation and matter which was already obvious to all.

So, Cadfan sighed and said ashamedly, "Sigh! I admit that I really had a very big problem and opinion about your mother, especially so because she went to Aurous Hill this time and openly participated in the auction for Curtis Wade's old mansion. This brought humiliation and shame unto the Schulz family. I was just too angry in the heat of the moment, and that was the reason why I made such an irrational decision. I also hope that you'll somehow be able to understand my difficulties to a certain extent..."

Sophie was neither servile nor overbearing as she said, "Yes. Of course, my mother also acted inappropriately in this matter, but I think that she did nothing wrong at all. After all, my father was the one who betrayed their marriage in the first place!"

"He had already cheated on their marriage and betrayed my mother even before my mother was pregnant with me. He even has an illegitimate daughter. You also knew about this matter!" 5 "In contrast, my mother only came to Aurous Hill after she had already explicitly asked for a divorce from my father!"

"What's more, I don't think that there is any problem i n principle because of what she did. You actually wanted to kill my mother just because of such a small matter. Don't you think that you went overboard?!" "Yes, you're right!" Cadfan said very sincerely, "I also feel very regretful, and I've been blaming myself after this incident happened. So, I also hope that the both of you, mother and daughter, will be able to allow me to make amends and make it up to you."

Sophie replied indifferently, "I don't think that there is any way for you to make amends when it comes to this kind of matter. My mother will not want to see you again in this lifetime, and I might not want to see you for a long time to come in the future." 4

As she spoke, Sophie said again, "Although I am your granddaughter, deep down in my heart, I hope that you'll be able to assume the responsibility and consequences and turn yourself in to the police." When Cadfan heard these words, he felt extremely frustrated and angry in his heart.

However, he did not dare to express it. Instead, he said helplessly, "Sophie, no matter what it is, I'm still the head of the Schulz family. I not only have to continue leading the Schulz family forward, but I'm also representing the image and status of the Schulz family. If I were to truly go to prison, it would not only be a bad thing for the Schulz family, but it would not be of any good to you either."

Sophie said, "I simply want justice and a righteous outcome." 5

"Justice?" Cadfan sighed and spoke up, "Sophie, why don't we do this? You're an intelligent kid, so we do not need to continue beating around the bush anymore. Why don't you just tell me what you want me to do directly for you to be willing to let bygones be bygones?"

Sophie said, "I already said that I hope that you'll turn yourself in to the police!"

Cadfan smiled before he sighed and said, "Sophie, if I'm not mistaken, the reason why you've said so much to Jaime was because you wanted to take advantage of this matter to negotiate some terms with me, right? To be honest with you, I do not blame you for having such thoughts. After all, I'll have to compensate both you and your mother, both emotionally and logically. So, you can just tell me if you have any requests. As long as I can accept it, I'll certainly agree to it!" 5
