Chapter 2516

Author: Lord Leaf
It was precisely because of this that Sheldon did not even dare to take a single step out of Australia until his father had spoken up although he was very worried about Sophie’s safety.

He did not even dare to call to question Lord Schulz about this matter. This was because he knew very well that he would suffer an even worse fate if he were to make the old man angry and frustrated.

Jaime was still young, and he had never really experienced much in his life. The biggest and most serious experience that he had ever encountered in his life was when he had been kidnapped back in Japan.

In truth, he had already panicked when he had gotten kidnapped the last time.

He had been frightened to death, and he could not calm himself down at all. He was not even half as calm as his sister, Sophie, was. So, the huge pressure and stress that Jaime bore at this time made him feel as though he could not breathe or catch his breath at all.

He desperately hoped for his father to come back so that he

    After receiving Lord Schulz's call, Sheldon felt both in and out of context.He hurriedly reassured his son with a word or two before hanging up the phone and switching to Lord Schulz's call, impatient to find out his intentions.   Once the phone call was connected, Sheldon said somewhat nervously, "Dad… You… Why are you calling me so late at night?"   Lord Schulz sighed on the other end of the phone and said, "Hey, Sheldon. Dad is calling to apologize to you."   With that, he asked, "The video circulating online, you should have seen it already, right?"  Sheldon said truthfully, "Yes, Dad. I saw it ."  Then, Sheldon hurriedly added, "Dad, I know you must have some opinions about Helen, but I believe you certainly would not have any bad intentions toward Sophie and Steven. That Matteo must have been coerced by someone. That's why they were talking nonsense in the video and putting the blame on you!"  These words of Sheldon instantly moved Lord Schulz deep inside.

    ‘This old man does have a way…   ‘He clearly sent me to Australia to be put under house arrest. Now, he needs me to go back and help. Yet, he dares to say that I am having a good time in Australia?! How could I enjoy any f*cking happiness in this sh*tty place?!’   Although these were his inner thoughts, Sheldon immediately followed the words of the old man and spoke, "Dad, I'm really sorry. I did steal some time off during this period. If you need me to go back to help, I am always at your disposal."  Sheldon wanted to go back, but he could not immediately take a stand and say that he wanted to do so.   Even if the old man had said the words to this point, he had to put the initiative in the hands of the old man and say that one thing, which was that he would always be at the disposal of the old man.   This, on one hand, was to appear absolutely respectful of the old man. On the other hand, it was also to appear humble in front of the old man.   That way, it could als

    The point where Lord Schulz was superior to Sheldon was that he had a rough framework in his own brain through vague traces and clues. At the same time, he counted out the existence of Charlie, a mysterious person, in this framework.  In truth, Lord Schulz had always been a very shrewd old fox, planning many things almost flawlessly. There were only a few times he made small errors which had led to a large discrepancy, all because he could not anticipate a variable such as Charlie.   This time, he presumed that Sophie was not dead and that someone must have saved Sophie. Thus, he decided to make great efforts to save Sheldon and his family.  The first breakthrough point, naturally, was Sheldon, the head of the family.   This phone call just now had not only appeased Sheldon, but he had also expressed his apology to Jaime in front of Sheldon.   If this father and son believed his words, he had at least redeemed half of this family of four, then.   Although Sheldon coul

    Jaime said angrily, "Dad! Mom and Sophie are now in a state of uncertainty because of him, and you're telling me not to resist him too much? Didn't you see the video circulating on the internet? Did you not see what happened to Mom and Sophie in that car?!"   "Foolish boy!" Sheldon shouted angrily, "It has already happened, what can you undo by fighting for your life with your grandfather?"   "Not only will you not be able to undo anything, but you yourself will also be doomed!""You have to know that I am the eldest son of the Schulz family. You are the eldest son and grandson of the Schulz family. Your grandfather will live at most another ten years or so, and by then, if I can't be the head of the Schulz family, I'll just have to get the hell out far away!""If your second uncle, your third uncle, or your fourth uncle sits as the head of the family, will they let our family have a good time?!""Let me ask you, do you know what happened to each and every one of your grandfat

    What appeared in front of Sophie's vision was a luxury suite in a hotel, and she was lying on a comfortable bed that was more than two meters wide.   For a moment, she thought that she was an out-of-body soul after death.   She immediately wanted to look for the whereabouts of her mother. Sophie looked around only to find that her mother was lying next to her!  She couldn't care less about the dream reality at this point, and couldn't wait to reach out and shake her mom's body, shouting under her breath, "Mom... Mom, wake up..."  Helen, who was still in a deep sleep, woke up quietly. After she had come to her senses, she looked at Sophie in front of her and exclaimed, "Sophie... Are you all right?!"  Sophie said hurriedly, "Mom, I… I don't know if I'm okay..."   Helen looked around and subconsciously asked, "Are we… We are not in the tunnel?! How could..."   Sophie also shook her head subconsciously, "I do not know what is going on, this seems to be a hotel..."

    Helen immediately stopped her. "Sophie! Don't talk nonsense! How do you know that Master Lennard's calculations are not accurate?! If you had listened to him and gone back to Eastcliff, you wouldn't have encountered such a big problem in the first place."   Sophie was not convinced, and she said offhandedly, "Then, if I had gone back, wouldn't your safety have been compromised, Mom? If I was not here, my benefactor would not have appeared, then you would be in a bad spot..."   Helen sighed and said, "Hey, this is the world's karma. Master Lennard at that time also only calculated the connection between you and him. He did not calculate that I would be related to this benefactor of yours through you, and he did not calculate that I would also be saved by your benefactor..."Speaking of this, she could not help but utter, "This benefactor is truly very valuable to our family… I wonder if I can find him and thank him in person ..."  Sophie came back to her senses and said with u

    Sophie did not expect that not only did her benefactor not show his face, he even refused to allow her to communicate with the outside world. She suddenly felt rather disappointed. She asked tentatively, “Will you let me report my safety to my family? My grandfather must be very worried about the safety of my mother and I. We would just like to inform him that we are both safe…” The woman shook her head and said seriously, “Sorry Ms. Schulz, our young master’s order was to not contact anyone from the outside, no matter who the other party is.” Although Sophie didn’t understand thoroughly, she nodded her head slightly and thought to herself, ‘Although this arrangement looks as if my benefactor has placed me under house arrest, I believe he must have his reasons, and it must be a good and thoughtful intention.’ Therefore, she said, “I understand, thank you.” The lady immediately said, “You’re welcome, Ms. Schulz. If you and Mrs. Schulz need anything, just inform us. Including w

    Sophie couldn’t help but sigh. She felt that what her mom had said was right. The sons of these top families may be mysterious to the outside world, but for the top family members, they knew the sons of these other top families very well. These top-notched family sons, although they were all so-called high-achieving students who had returned from their studies abroad, Sophie knew very well that they were just glamourous rubbish. It was just for show, and they were actually not what they seemed to be. To put it nicely, they were like an embroidered pillow filled with straws, where beauty was only skin-deep. To put it frankly, it was just gold-coated trash. Although these young masters could speak proper English as well as understand the pattern of the global economy and development, when asked to perform hands-on work, they would immediately turn to the papers, completely unprepared. In the past, there was a well-known son who was known as a business wizard. He was able to

    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
