In truth, Sophie also understood that it was Eikichi’s own fault that he had ended up in this state.
However, she was hoping that she would be able to stop Charlie by using emotions and reasoning so that Eikichi would not get both of his arms broken here today.
Although Sophie was still very young, she had already received a very elite education since she was a child. Furthermore, she had been staying abroad in the United States for many years, and she could be regarded as a genius in the business world, s
Hence, she always had a plan and motive for everything that she did.
For instance, this time, she was sent here as a representative of the Schulz family to discuss the collaboration and partnership matter with the Takahashi family. However, Eikichi had already become a cripple even before they could begin discussing or talking about this matter. It would not b e appropriate at all if she simply watched everything happen without lifting a finger to help him. It would not only make it seem as though she was not a righteous person, but it would also affect the specific details and progress for the subsequent collaboration and partnership between the two families. 5
So, based on sentiments, reasoning, and interests, she
would have to step up to try and stop Charlie at all costs. 1
Even if she was not able to stop Charlie, and even if Eikichi was still turned into a cripple at the end of the day, she would have already tried her best to help him. She would be able to have a clear conscience, and she would be able to face the Takahashi family without any shame whatsoever, 7
Of course, the best situation would be if the young man in front of her could give her face after she stepped forward to stop him. It would be great if he would stop what he was about to do and give Eikichi a way out of this. 3
That way, she would not only have a clear conscience and face, but the Takahashi family would also owe her a huge favor. If that was the case, she would be able to use this to her advantage and ask the Takahashi family for more benefits and resources when they were discussing the specific details and arrangements for their collaboration in the future.
However, she never expected this young man to be so cold and hostile! 7
It seemed as though he was determined to break both of Eikichi’s arms today! 1
So, Sophie suppressed the anger that she was feeling inside before she said, "Sir, I am Eastcliff..
Charlie interrupted her before she could even finish her sentence. He said in a dissatisfied tone, "Miss, you do not need to tell me who you are, and I am not interested to find out about your identity at all. You do not need to use your status to try and pressure me. This is because I will not give you any face at all even i f you are a king or deity! Do you hear me clearly?" 5
Sophie could not control her temper any longer!
No one had ever dared to speak to her in this manner and tone ever since she was a child. 2
