Meanwhile, Sophie was carrying a thick school bag on her back as she returned to the Dunn mansion alone from outside.

Earlier, she had already negotiated all the terms and conditions with Arrington, the butler that her grandfather, Cadfan, had sent, and they had already completed the procedures for the transfer of all the shares in Schulz Ocean Shipping Group.

The huge mess that was the Schulz Ocean Shipping Group was now Sophie's.

Upon arriving home, everyone kept coming forward to question Sophie as they did not know where she had gone earlier.

Sophie simply gave them an excuse that she had gone out to get something done, and she managed to temporarily avoid the topic.

Only her elder brother, Jaime, felt that things were anything but reassuring. 3

He vaguely felt that his younger sister, Sophie, should have already reached some kind of agreement with her grandfather.

So, he went back to his room and called Cadfan.

As soon as the call was connected, he asked impatiently, "Grandpa, did you make a deal with Sophie?"

Cadfan asked him in return, "Why? Sophie didn't tell you?"

Jaime's heart thumped for a moment, and he hurriedly asked, "No. I did not ask her about it either. She just came home."

"Yes," Cadfan said indifferently. "Sophie asked to negotiate some terms with me. She has already taken the Schulz Ocean Shipping Group. That stalled business is now hers."

Jaime felt a pang of dizziness as if his head was spinning.

Lord Schulz had actually given Sophie an industry that was worth a few hundred billion dollars just like that?!

This... this was way beyond imagination, right?!

Jaime suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

He thought to himself, 'Sophie did not tell me anything about this matter at all from the beginning to the end. Isn't she treating me as a complete outsider now?' 3

'Also, how could Grandpa possibly be so willing?! He actually gave the Schulz family's entire business in this sector to her just like that? Isn't he being a little too bold and unrestrained?!' 'The Schulz family's ocean shipping business accounts for almost twenty percent to twenty-five percent of the Schulz family's assets. This means that a large portion of the Schulz family that I'll inherit in the future has already beer taken away by Sophie!' 2

Sophie gradually began to lose the balance in his heart, and he felt a little angry and indignant. 6

He really wanted to ask his grandfather why he had given such a large business sector over to Sophie.

However, he did not dare to say it out loud. 2

This was because he knew that if he were to ask his grandfather in regards to this, he would certainly be caught between a rock and a hard place.

His grandfather would not only know that Jaime was actually very dissatisfied with his younger sister, but he would also be made aware of Jaime's obsession with greed.

So, he could only suppress his inner anger and rage as he said in a sympathetic and disconsolate voice, "Sigh... Sophie is truly too ignorant. Grandpa, don't be mad a t her. I'll try to persuade her. I'll certainly be able to persuade her to return this business to you sooner or later!"

Jaime's words made Cadfan, who had just suffered a loss, feel incredibly relieved.

He could not help but say emotionally, "Jaime, you're still the most sensible..." Jaime's heart was also hurting, but he knew that Lord

Schulz would certainly be feeling more depressed. So, he then said, "Grandpa, in truth, it might not necessarily be a bad thing to hand this business over to Sophie temporarily. Our ocean shipping business has been temporarily suspended, right? Perhaps there might be a breakthrough once this business is in Sophie's hands. If she really manages to revive the business easily, I'll think of a way to help you take this business back to the Schulz family. In that case, the Schulz family will not suffer any losses, but we will even be able to receive dividends in return." 2

Cadfan was a little relieved as he said, "I'm very pleased to hear that you're so filial. As for whether your sister will be able to bring this business back to life..." As Cadfan spoke, he could not help but pause for a moment before he sighed and said, "To be honest, I'm also looking forward to it now!" 4
