In each episode, Sheldon and Helen would always discuss who sung each song better or who interpreted the songs better. The both of them would always watch the program happily together with great interest.Until one day, a female singer named Susan sang a cover of a song called .When Helen heard the song, she had started crumbling emotionally again. She covered her face as she started crying miserably in front of the television.The lyrics of that song were still fresh in Sheldon’s memory.The lyrics went like this:“You opened up your arms and melted me,You softly rubbed your fingertips against me and crushed me, You stirred up winds and clouds and swept me away,You lifted up waves and then abandoned me…The both of us are too imbalanced,Love and hatred, are all controlled by you.But today, I can’t leave you.No matter whether you love me or not…”Susan’s voice and vocal range were simply excellent, and it was simply heartbreaking when the song reach
As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Schulz family, Helen’s first reaction after seeing this headline was to quickly click into the article to understand what was happening.Although she rarely asked about matters relating to her husband or the Schulz family, no matter what it was, she was still a member of the Schulz family. So, she had naturally heard a little about the things happening in the family recently.Her son and daughter had been kidnapped and almost gotten killed in Japan. This incident left Helen with lingering fears, and it also made her feel a little more concerned about the situation in Japan.She also knew that Rosalie had assassinated and annihilated the entire Matsumoto family. Although she felt that they had gone a little overboard in this matter, she knew that Sheldon was extremely angry at that time. When he was giving this order, he was extremely determined, and there was no room for negotiation at all.After that, Rosalie and a large group of top masters fr
What was even more hateful was the fact that in recent years, his illegitimate daughter had been living in the Schulz family mansion as a bodyguard. She had always been by his side!This made her feel a total sense of betrayal, and she felt a sense of coldness spreading from her head all the way to her toes!Helen desperately tried to control her trembling hands as she continued reading the article. In the follow-up context, even the Japanese Homeland Security Bureau felt that the Schulz family was indeed worse than beasts!They would be willing to sell out the life of their own daughter and granddaughter all for the sake of a little profit and interest! They were simply extremely vicious and cold-hearted!When Helen saw this, she finally got her dander up.She looked at the wedding photo of Sheldon and herself on the wall, and she could not help but feel a little nauseous when she thought about her marriage to him for so many years.However, she suddenly felt relieved again in a
When Helen saw Sheldon kneeling on the ground and crying, Helen subconsciously took a few steps back as she freed her body from his grasp. After that, she said seriously, “Sheldon, you should understand my personality very well. I brought up a gentleman’s agreement with three clauses to you when I agreed to marry you. Do you remember what it is?”Sheldon lifted his head with flushed red eyes as he nodded slightly and said, “I remember! I remember! I remember every word! Honey, I was really just confused for a moment. Please, I beg you. Please just forgive me this once, okay?”Helen had a stern expression on her face as she said, “Sheldon, I want you to tell me what were those three clauses in our gentleman’s agreement first.”Sheldon felt his heart hurting as he said in a trembling voice, “The first clause of our gentleman’s agreement was that no matter what time or what kind of situation it was, as long as… as long as…”Helen probed, “As long as what?”Sheldon sighed as he said,
Helen asked him, “Sheldon, do you know why I loved Curtis so much back then?”Sheldon was startled at this time.He looked at Helen before he asked in a hoarse voice, “Why?”Helen laughed bitterly before she said in a pained voice, “Back then, when Curtis was about to get married, I also ran and confessed my love for him just like how Yashita confessed her love for you…”“I honestly thought about giving my body to him. I even gave him the same reason as Yashita did…”“At that time, I told him: Curtis, I have already loved you for so many years without getting anything in return at all. Even if you truly do not love me and cannot give me the end result that I am hoping for, don’t leave me with any last regrets…”“I even said: Curtis, for a woman, the most precious thing is her chastity. The reason why chastity is the most precious and valuable thing to every woman is because every woman would want to leave it for the man she loves the most. As for me, I hope that I can leave my ch
When Sheldon saw Helen leaving so determinedly without even looking back, Sheldon felt that his heart was hurting so much to the point that he was already suffocating.He had already known for a long time that Helen did not love him at all.He also knew that the person that Helen had always loved deeply in her heart was none other than Curtis.However, sometimes, Helen seriously underestimated Sheldon’s skills.Although it seemed as though he had never interfered with Helen’s privacy on the surface, in truth, he knew everything about Helen’s behavior in secret.Many years ago, after the WiFi networking function became available on cell phones, Sheldon had hired some top internet hackers to closely monitor the WiFi network in his house.Sheldon could use the tools provided by the hackers to carry out comprehensive monitoring on the times when Helen’s cell phone was connected to the WiFi, the software applications that she used, and also the websites that she had visited after conn
As soon as he came in, he realized that his father and six of his younger siblings were all very flustered inside the study room.This made Sheldon feel a little uncomfortable and surprised.In his impression, his father had always been very calm and composed throughout all these years. He had never been afraid of any difficulties, and he had always remained very calm even in the face of sudden change. So, why was he so flustered and in a state of panic today?Moreover, Sheldon felt that his younger siblings around him were all looking at him with a very strange look in their eyes at this time.There was a look of nervousness, fearfulness, sympathy, and even compassion in their eyes.So, Sheldon asked nervously, “Dad, what happened exactly?”Cadfan raised his head to look at Sheldon, and he asked with a guilty conscience, “Didn’t you see the news notification on your cell phone?”Sheldon looked down at his pajamas before he said embarrassedly, “What notification? I was taking a
At this moment, Sheldon still could not understand what kind of major incident had happened. Hence, he looked at Lord Schulz and asked, “Dad, what has happened?” Sighing lightly, Lord Schulz lamented, “Sigh… it’s Rosalie…” Sheldon hurriedly asked, “Have you found Rosalie’s whereabouts?” Lord Schulz shook his head and replied, “Not yet. Sheldon... about Rosalie, I would like to apologize to you. I hope you can forgive me...” Sheldon never thought his dad would ask him for forgiveness. He immediately replied, “Dad, what did you do? If there’s anything, just say it. If Rosalie couldn’t be rescued in the end, I won’t blame you…” Sheldon still felt that Lord Schulz had put in a lot of effort in rescuing Rosalie. However, the difficulty level of this matter was indeed very high. Moreover, it had happened in Japan. The Schulz family could not do much. Thus, it was understandable if, during the process of rescuing, accidents happened, which had made the rescue
However, Jimmy realized something important even as he sighed in relief. "Wait, Mr. Wade… I know I should settle things in the family Stateside, but won't I be arrested upon arrival?""That's Julien's department," Charlie chuckled and turned toward the man. "Tell your butler not to send the evidence to the feds. If it has reached them already, ask to have it back and tell the feds they saw nothing."Julien promptly nodded. "I'll text him right now. You have nothing to worry about, Mr. Wade."Jimmy remained worried. "But sir, I think Nate's not going to let this slide. The man is cunning—he deliberately dug a pit so we'd fall into it, and he gathered all the dirt he could on us to be used as leverage when necessary."Charlie shook his head. "That's no big deal. Julien can make sure that you're fine even if the feds get the evidence."Julien nodded nearby. "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. The decision remains in your hands, either way. Just say the word, and it's 25 to life… otherwise, not e
The fact that Jimmy was a partner in Ares LLP already meant he had skill, while Matilda had herself been retired for years and definitely had lost her touch a little. So, having someone like Jimmy who had stayed on the frontlines all this while would definitely be no issue.And in turn, it was a good thing for Jimmy as it was better than the kennels either way.Charlie then asked Jimmy pointedly, "You say you're interested, but are you sincere about it?"Jimmy nodded without hesitation. "Yes, absolutely!""No regrets? We're talking about ten years here.""None, absolutely none!""Do you know what to say if anyone asks?""Yes, of course! I chose to further my career here in Oskia, and it was absolutely voluntary! That's what I'd say even if my family asked!"Charlie nodded. "Good. Then, you will have two weeks. Go home and set your affairs in order and report in for work afterward.""No problem!" Jimmy nodded repeatedly, actually surprised and grateful that Charlie would let hi
And yet, Julien was suddenly clapping his hands, and exclaiming excitedly, "Yes, right! We should get his wife and son over too for a happy reunion!"He then paused and quickly corrected himself, "Wait, no! I mean, they should each be caged with one empty cage separating each of their cages. They can see each other and talk, but there will be no touching. How dare he flex on me—I gotta teach him a lesson to remember!"Jimmy dropped limply on his rump, and Matilda beckoned for Paul to help him up while turning toward Julien as she pursed her lips. "Please, Mr. Rothschild… Even if you don't accept his apology, don't bring his family into this. It's against Oskian tradition—you'd insult your family's name!"Julien shrugged, not hesitating to retort, "What do your traditions have to do with me? If I mean to hurt him, forget his family—I'll drag his dogs over too!"Seeing that Julien was so furious, Charlie decided to stop him, or he might actually go through with it."That's enough, J
Holding up a thumb at Charlie, Julien exclaimed in approval, "You're right, my friend! That's far more exciting than having him jailed!"Just hearing that he would be sent to a kennel, Jimmy knew nothing would come of it—even if he didn't know the details, it was so obvious that Julien was thrilled by the very idea!Turning nervously toward Charlie, he was sobbing as he asked, "Mr. Wade…? What's this about a kennel…?"Julien chuckled coolly even before Charlie said a word. "A kennel is where you keep dogs, of course. Though there are literal dogs and metaphorical dogs, and you are the latter."Oh, don't worry. It's a really nice place where you get your own cage, and you'll be fed every day. You don't even have to work, so just sit tight and keep eating until the day you die."Jimmy's soul left his body in that instant.He was going to be locked in a cage?! That was way worse than being locked up and sent to jail! Where was the humanity around here?!Even as the thought struck h
Matilda was actually caught off guard by Jimmy's pleas, and even Paul found it hard to watch.Turning to Charlie, he said, "Please, Mr. Wade—my uncle can be a little despicable, but he is my father's brother. Please, let him have a chance to turn over a new leaf, seeing that he's earnestly repenting."While Paul spoke with Charlie, Jimmy was still confused and wondered why Paul would plead his case with Charlie instead of Julien. If there was anyone Paul should ask, it was Yolden since he was Julien's friend. So, why would he ask some young man instead of Yolden?That was when Charlie asked in curiosity, "You want to let him off? After he tried to take away your parents' legacy?"Paul smiled awkwardly. "I mean, I know the guy. He made sure to travel all this way to make a scene because he had nothing legal that could help him claim Smith Group Corporate Law from us. Otherwise, he'd have already filed the lawsuit in the States. Sure, it's a dirty move, but that's basically a des
As Julien finished, he realized something was wrong and turned toward Charlie before he knew it.Charlie held his gaze in turn, his expression quizzical and amused.Julien cleared his throat right then. "See, there are people who can order me around, but they have my utmost respect. However, a third-rate lawyer like you? Who do you think you are?"That was when Julien's butler called, and he reported respectfully as soon as the call was answered, "Sir, I've spoken with Nate Ellis, the owner of Ares LLC. He has since agreed to fire Jimmy Smith right away as well as disbar him nationwide."Julien asked, "Good. Anything else?""Well, Mr. Ellis also delivered some documents that can be used as evidence against Jimmy Smith, which he claims is enough for a lifetime sentence. If you deem it necessary, we can have it sent to the FBI.""Yes, let's go with that!" Julien replied, his tone satisfied. "And ask the director to handle it personally—I want this prick to never set foot stateside
Jimmy was sweating profusely in fear, but he argued back before he knew it, "That's impossible! Everything you say is bullshit! Gaiman simply thought he had a fair chance of winning and didn't want to pay Ares that much, and I have no idea who he partnered with, and I'm certainly not involved. Don't you try to slander me!"Nate chuckled. "Come on, Jimmy. We're all adults here, so there are things we shouldn't have to be so direct about. Mills Gaiman and your old classmate met in private many times, not to mention the private conferences you three had in secret, discussing your overall strategy and decisive points. Just so you know, Gaiman recorded every conversation, and I have the tapes with me."Jimmy's heart was left pounding as he blurted, "B-Bullshit! That's impossible!""Grow up, Jimmy," Mr.Goodman chuckled. "Every partner in every law firm always strives to rise higher, so I'm going to need as much leverage as I can. Otherwise, I'm not about to let them advance any further, e
Although the ringtone and vibration frequency were the ones Jimmy always used, this call somehow felt more urgent, leaving him exceedingly uneasy.When it abruptly stopped and left a missed call on his log, Nate Ellis soon sent a text: [Answer your damn phone this instant!]Just seeing the text left Jimmy feeling like his throat had gone dry, and as he gulped, it felt like his throat was being ripped, leaving him hurting.Still, he couldn't care less as his boss called again.Having seen the text, Jimmy didn't hesitate this time and promptly answered, watching Julien's smug face as he started tentatively, "Y-Yes, boss...?"Nate immediately yelled at him hysterically, "What the hell did you do?! Why did the Rothschilds call to complain about you?! And the complaint was from their heir apparent, at that! I worked hard for them and always toed the line for years, and I still haven't gotten a chance to meet the man, so how the fuck did you upset him?!"Jimmy's heart sank to rock bott
Fuming, Jimmy snapped at Julien, "If you insist on playing it like that, I will call my boss, and you can talk to him yourself!"Julien chuckled. "That's unnecessary. I've never met him. He would never recognize my voice."Jimmy laughed and nodded despite himself. "Impressive—you can really come up with anything! You don't have his number because he's beneath you, you refuse to call him because he's beneath you, and when I say I'll call him for you, you say he won't recognize your voice. Well, how do you suppose we should sort this out? At least prove you're a Rothschild, or anyone could claim that they are—"Julien held up a hand to stop him. "Then, how about this? I'll ask my butler to talk to your boss."Jimmy laughed even more loudly as if it were the best joke ever. "Hahaha!!! Butler, you say?! You really know how to talk! Alright, I'll wait and see what your 'butler' can do… I mean, what you can do. We'll see whether my boss calls me!"Julien ignored him and whipped out his
