This was the second time today that someone had hung up on Sheldon and left him hanging on the other end of the line.At this time, Sheldon was already extremely furious and resentful.He slammed his cell phone down to the ground, and his cell phone smashed into pieces as he yelled, “Helen Dunn! I do not understand what is so great about Curtis? Why haven’t you forgotten him even after so many years? Don’t forget that he has never chosen you from the beginning to the end! He has always given up on you, and he gave up on you even until his death!”Just as he was very furious and angry, a servant quickly walked over with a cell phone and said carefully, “Mr. Sheldon, it is a phone call…from Lord Schulz…”It was only at this time that Sheldon realized that he had broken his cell phone.He could only take the cell phone from the servant’s hand as he suppressed his anger and said, “Dad, what other instructions do you have?”Cadfan asked coldly, “Why can’t I get through to your cell ph
“Princess Diana?”Steven had a shocked expression on his face as soon as he thought about the bizarre fate of this legendary princess. He instantly understood what his father meant, and he exclaimed, “Dad, you… are you serious?”Cadfan had a grim expression on his face as he said, “I will not tolerate any nonsense or joke around when the reputation of the Schulz family is at stake. In any case, I will never allow the reputation and face of the Schulz family to be ruined and destroyed in a woman’s hands!”As he spoke, Cadfan ground his teeth as he said coldly, “Although the Schulz family is not a royal European family, the importance of the reputation and face of the Schulz family is no lesser than that of the European royals! If anyone dares to insult our family’s reputation, they should not blame me for being ruthless! I am willing to do anything and everything to defend the reputation of the Schulz family!”Steven nodded gently.He knew very well that whether it was a royal fami
As he spoke, he continued, “Do you remember that there was a well-known director who had an ambiguous relationship with someone else in the past? His wife did not get angry, but she even said that her husband had managed to gain an advantage? However, if it was a woman who was cheating instead, she would certainly be scolded and insulted on all the public forums!”Helen smiled slightly before she said, “Uncle Walters, you are worrying too much. I simply want to buy the old mansion that Curtis used to live in because this is just my way of remembering and keeping him in my memories. Other than that, I will not have any scandals or any other relationship with any other men. If the public cannot even tolerate or understand this, I do not need their tolerance and understanding either.”The old butler anxiously replied, “Miss Helen, that is not what I meant… I meant to say that it will be completely fine for you to buy this old mansion. However, the current situation is still a little spe
As soon as Finn heard Isaac saying that Charlie was going to attend the auction at Treasure Pavilion, he immediately felt very excited.He immediately instructed his men to prepare the largest and best private room for Charlie. At the same time, he also specifically made a phone call to Charlie.As soon as the call was connected, he said respectfully, “Master Wade, I am Finn Baxendale. I heard that you will be coming to attend the auction at Treasure Pavilion on Monday morning. I have specially reserved the best VIP room in Treasure Pavilion for you!”Charlie hummed slightly before he replied indifferently, “Mr. Baxendale, you are indeed thoughtful. However, do not reveal my identity to anyone, let alone allow anyone else to find out that I will be participating in the physical auction this time.”Finn did not hesitate as he said, “Don’t worry, Master Wade. I will personally take charge of the security work and measures tomorrow. I will prevent any suspicious people from entering t
Some people felt that Helen would not make an appearance because they believed that the Schulz family would certainly pressure Helen in regards to this matter. In any case, they would never allow her to embarrass the Schulz family.At the same time, some people felt that since Helen had already gone to Aurous Hill to visit Curtis’s former residence, and since she had even registered to participate in this auction, based on her personality, even if someone were to threaten her, she would certainly show up for the auction.Therefore, the people in Eastcliff even started placing bets on whether Helen would appear at the auction or not.The Dunn family mansion in Aurous Hill.Helen was already ready.She had already made up her mind that she would have to show up at this auction. So, even though the Schulz family had a very big opinion in regards to this matter, she was still determined to set off.The pair of siblings, Jaime and Sophie, were already standing by Helen’s door early in
A few seconds ago, Sophie had still been considering the face and reputation of the Schulz family.However, at this very moment, Sophie had suddenly come to a realization. “Although I am also a member of the Schulz family, I am also a woman! If I cannot stand firmly by my own mother’s side when she is encountering this kind of problem today, if I were to get married to someone and encounter the same kind of trouble in the future, no one will stand by my side when that happens either!”“The root cause of this matter is not about the face and reputation of the Schulz family, but it is a matter of principle!”“Since it is a matter of principle, it is all about what is right or wrong. What is right, will always be right, and what is wrong, is simply wrong. A woman should not have to suffer any grievances and be wronged just because the person who had committed the wrong was a man!”“So, no matter what it is, I will have to accompany you to participate in this auction today, Mom!”Jaim
Helen smiled lightly before she said, “It does not matter. You can just fly back to Aurous Hill in the afternoon after setting off in the private jet at ten o’clock in the morning. What is most important is for you to show everyone your attitude and where you stand.”After she was done speaking, Helen said again, “Do you understand what is at stake? I’ve already made everything clear. You are a smart boy, so don’t make me repeat myself from the beginning again.”Jaime pursed his lips before he nodded helplessly and said, “Okay then, Mom. I will just pack up briefly before I head to the airport with Grandpa Walters.”***About twenty minutes later, two black cars drove out of the Dunn family mansion.One of the black cars was heading toward Treasure Pavilion in the city, and the other black car was heading out of the city to Aurous Airport. Helen and Sophie were seated in the first car.The mother and daughter had very similar appearances, and both of them could be regarded as o
At the same time, in the Schulz family mansion in Eastcliff.Steven reported to Lord Schulz, “Dad! Sister-in-Law brought Sophie with her to the auction site!”“What?!” The expression on Cadfan’s face suddenly became very cold and stern!He ground his teeth and said, “That Helen Dunn is really too much!”Steven hurriedly asked, “Dad, what should we do now?”Lord Schulz ground his teeth as he said sharply, “Since Helen is not giving the Schulz family any face at all, she should not blame me for not giving her a chance!”After that, he said angrily, “That European princess did not change her ways even after repeated teachings either! She not only looked for a boyfriend who was of a different religion, but she was even rumored to be pregnant with that man’s child. Do you know how much she embarrassed and humiliated the royal family? If she did not push the royal family to the extreme, why would the royal family attack her? At the end of the day, she asked for it!”Steven lowered his
Charlie frowned in thought for a while, before saying, "Well, there is a plan, but I can't vouch for the chances. I also need you to cooperate with me and not let anything slip, or everything will go to waste. Can you do that?""I can!" Claire nodded, determined, before quickly asking, "So? What's the plan?""Well, it's not specific," Charlie replied. "We just have to improvise as we go along. Let's just head in for now!"-They left the airport and took a cab to the traffic police's headquarters. Just as she entered, they saw their Cullinan parked outside.Charlie sent Claire in first while he carried her luggage before following.Meanwhile, Elaine was wailing in her room, "I've been married to him for years! Suffering so much pain and humiliation, only for him to hook up with an old flame behind my back! Is it wrong if I struck out?"The traffic police officer was on the verge of a breakdown, but he still said patiently, "Ma'am, I've told you many times—what he did was wrong
Claire wasn't all that experienced in love and hence didn't know how a person caught in a love triangle would think or why they would experience such terrible mood swings.Still, Charlie's explanation gave her a general idea, and she sighed, "Actually, Dad looked really bad when Matilda came back. He was so obsessed with her that he didn't care if Mom was alive—even bringing her home for dinner. I'd be seething if I was Mom."Charlie sighed in exasperation. "Well, let's not loiter about. Let's go to the traffic police station.""Yeah!" Claire nodded, before holding his arm, "If they're there, that means they're safe, and they won't be fighting with those officers around. So, let's not head over so quickly."Charlie raised a brow. "What are you getting at?"Claire sighed, clearly troubled. "We have to think—how are we going to alleviate this crisis? If it's really as you say and Mom has mostly guessed it right, this fight might just be the start. At best, that fight on the highway
The traffic police officer smiled in exasperation. "Is there no getting through to you? You could even afford to drive a nice car, and you'd most likely survive an accident. But what if you were left bedridden for a long time? Yell at each other in the same hospital room?"Elaine waved him off. "I don't care—all I know is that I will always get my revenge, and on the spot if possible. If there were superheroes, I would be Wonder Woman!""Urgh…" The traffic police officer was utterly speechless. "How about this? We will call your daughter and have her come over to bail you. She will mediate your fight!"With those words, he returned Elaine's phone to her, and it happened to ring just then.It was a call from Claire.Seeing that the contact name said [Daughter], the traffic police officer quickly said, "Go on, answer it!"Elaine took it and answered the call, and Claire asked urgently before she could say a word, "Mom? Where are you? Where's Dad? Are you both alright?"Elaine sulk
While Charlie was waiting for Claire at the airport, Jacob and Elaine were taken to the traffic police station.But even in the patrol car, Elaine did not stop lashing out at Jacob.As such, the traffic police had no choice but to call up another patrol car to bring them over separately.Charlie was hence left wondering what those two were up to this time as they were nowhere to be seen when Claire's flight was about to land and weren't answering his texts.Fortunately, Charlie never considered them reliable, so he was fine whether they showed up or not.If they did, they could all head home in the same car.If they didn't, he just had to take a cab home with Claire.It was past three when Claire's private jet landed, and Claire herself cleared the checkpoint in just half an hour, wheeling a trolley with her luggage.Seeing Charlie from afar, she couldn't help quickening her pace as she beamed.Charlie hurried toward her as well, and Claire shoved her trolley aside when they w
However, to Jacob's shock, Elaine wasn't misled at all as she growled icily, "Why would I ask anyone else?! If there's someone I must question, it's Matilda! She's getting married, isn't she? Good! I will be there and ask her why she hooked up with my husband!"Jacob turned pale right then.Matilda's son and even some of their old classmates would be attending her wedding.If Elaine went, he would be exposed, and he wouldn't be able to stay in Aurous Hill out of shame!His nerves gnawing at him, Jacob could only plead, "Please, just trust me this once! Anything else aside, she's getting married, anyway—there's no way that I'd have anything to do with her! That alone should prove my innocence!"Elaine snorted. "If Matilda returned when I was arrested, it means she has been back for a while! And you're saying nothing happened since? Hell, even if she's married, it doesn't prove that she wasn't up to some hanky-panky with you! Maybe while I was arrested and refused a divorce when you
The driver was left dumbstruck—this wasn't how it was supposed to go.Still, he blurted, "C-Crashing into a Cullinan? I might end up dead instead…""Fine! Then let's change cars, and you crash into ours—how about that?!" Elaine promptly retorted before continuing, "Or we could just stand right in front of your car while you run into us! I just happen to have a death wish, but if you don't kill me now, I'll kill you! Don't think about getting away either—I know your car plate! I'll sell this car and use the money to put a bounty on your head! I don't care what happens to me now! I'll claw my nails into the devil's face even if he shows up!"The driver was actually quite experienced, but even he had yet to meet someone as ridiculous as Elaine.Barely able to keep his hands steady, he threw them up as he apologized, "I'm so sorry, ma'am—I just lost my cool. I'm merely a humble driver of a Honda Civic while you own a Rolls. Hell, I spent fifty bucks buying that red emblem from Amazon,
Elaine may have led a life as if she was above the rules, but beneath that tough exterior lay crippling insecurities and a horrific inferiority complex.She was always afraid of being belittled—but more than that, of being ostracized and betrayed.Over the years, the greatest source of her complexes could all be traced back to Matilda.After all, Matilda had been a star back in their school days. Because Elaine was a close friend of hers, many boys would get chummy with Elaine, but only because they were interested in Matilda.Being from a poor farmer's family, Elaine had been scorned plenty and therefore felt exceedingly inferior around Matilda.It was from that sense of inferiority that Elaine had inadvertently developed a one-sided rivalry against Matilda, and she believed her greatest triumph over Matilda in this life was the moment she had stolen Jacob from her.However, while Elaine presumed that she could hold that victory over Matilda's head, Lady Wilson had soured that v
Moreover, given Elaine's ridiculous temper, Jacob knew she would definitely go overboard and destroy him.He wouldn't even have a place to live at that point, and it would really be game over if she held a grudge and stormed the Calligraphy and Painting Association!Under such circumstances, he couldn't ask for a divorce—hell, he might even refuse a divorce if Elaine asked for one!However, that was when Elaine laughed coldly. "Oh, my… You're really not going to divorce me?""Come on—how long were we married?" Jacob quickly reasoned. "Getting divorced at our age? People would laugh at us."Elaine scoffed. "Now I'm curious… Matilda's quite old too, and she's a divorcee marrying again. Won't people laugh at her?""Technically, she's a widow—"Jacob blurted out, but soon turned pale, tensing up again not a second after he had just calmed down, asking gingerly, "W-Why would you suddenly mention her?'Elaine stopped pretending right then and snapped, "It's actually impressive that y
Horrified, Jacob promptly grasped the steering wheel and brought the Cullinan back under control while not hesitating to snap, "Are you crazy?! We're on the highway—that could have killed the both of us!"However, Elaine ignored him and seized the moment to open the armrest box, pulling out the large white envelope.As she opened it, she muttered, "So, it really was a wedding invitation… You really are a terrible friend, Jacob Wilson, hiding a wedding invitation like this! What's the point? Just look at that nervous face of yours—would I suspect you of having an affair with the bride-to-be?"She flipped open the card and was experienced enough to check the names first while disregarding the usual preamble. She wouldn't care about the venue or the time either, focusing solely on the professor who had somehow made Jacob very nervous.That was how Elaine found the names in less than a second: Yolden Hart and Matilda Hall.Matilda?!The name could well be knives stabbing Elaine in th
