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.
He truly did not expect that his eldest son, at such a time, could still be so rational and objective, even
breaking out the truth of what he had wanted to shout deep inside himself!
The truth of the matter was: "I really Peking didn't want to kill my own granddaughter! The only person I wanted to kill was Helen alone!"
"Nevertheless, Matteo, as well as my own son, have identified my guilt in the video and dumped all the trumped-up charges on me alone, and this was also seen by more than a billion people across the country. I'm at a Peking loss to defend myself!"
