The butler hurriedly replied, "The head of the Dunn family, Lord Jefferson Dunn, has come here with the eldest son of the Dunn family, Harlem.”
Lord Schulz could not help but rub his temples as he sighed and thought to himself, ‘D*mn it! Why did the Dunn family come all the way here to see me? Did they come here to question me and blame me for that incident? No... that should not be it. Aurous Hill is not my territory anyway. Furthermore, there is no evidence to prove that I was the one who tried to harm Helen. Why would they come here to question me about it, then?’ 4
'Nevertheless, the Dunn family are still my in-laws. Moreover, they also have a very deep and strong relationship on a higher level. Therefore, I cannot simply offend them just like that. It looks like I can only receive them and deal with them!'
As he thought about this, Lord Schulz told the butler," Arrange for them to be seated in the living room for a while. I will go over there now."
"Okay, Lord Schulz!"
A few minutes later, Lord Schulz quickly stepped into the living room.
As soon as he arrived in the living room, he could see the pair of father and son in the middle of the living room with very furious and angry expressions on their faces.
Lord Schulz immediately pretended to have a pained expression on his face as he greeted them and said, "In -law! What is going on with Helen and Sophie? Do you have any information about them at all?"
Jefferson replied coldly, "Cadfan Schulz! I was just about to ask you whether you have anything to do with this matter related to Helen and Sophie! You'd better tell me the truth. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to be hostile toward you, then!"
"Me?!" Lord Schulz pointed at his nose before he replied in a pained manner, "Helen is my daughter-in-law, and Sophie is my own granddaughter. How could I possibly have done anything to hurt them?!"
After he was done speaking, Lord Schulz immediately added, "To tell you the truth, I have already sent Steven to Aurous Hill to investigate and look into this matter, and also to try and rescue Helen and Sophie. N o matter what it is, I will certainly try my best to ensure their safety!" 4
Although Jefferson had some doubts about Lord Schulz, he did not have any evidence to support his suspicions at all.
Moreover, the one thing that made him feel a little puzzled was the fact that he knew that Lord Schulz loved Sophie very much. If this accident had happened to just Helen alone, they would be eighty percent certain that Lord Schulz or even Sheldon, who was far away in Australia, had had something to do with it.
However, since Sophie had also met with the accident, Jefferson and Harlem could not help but feel that it could not have been possible for these two men to try and murder their own granddaughter or daughter.
