After getting the information that he wanted, Jaime said to Sophie, "Sophie, you must be tired too. So, you should get some rest earlier. We can discuss anything else tomorrow!"
Sophie nodded. "Okay, Brother."
Jaime stood up and said, "Alright, then. I'll return to m y room to rest first."
Sophie sent Jaime to the door before she returned to her bed. At this time, her mind was still filled with images of Charlie. She had already fallen completely for him.
Meanwhile, Jaime returned to his room anxiously. The first thing that he did was to hurriedly send his grandfather, Cadfan, a voice message: "Grandpa, I already asked Sophie about it. The person who rescued her and my mother this time was indeed the Oskian who saved the both of us in Japan..." 1
Cadfan, who was unable to sleep, was drinking tea as h e sat alone in his study room. After listening to the voice message, he slumped down on his chair, and he was unable to move for some time.
He muttered under his breath, "Why would such a powerful person become an enemy of the Schulz family? Could it be... could it be that I have angered him because I tried to attack Helen? But what has this got to do with Sheldon and Steven, then? Why did he kidnap them?!" 2
"That guy saved Sophie twice. So, he must have a pretty good relationship with Sophie. If Sophie is angry and furious at me because of her mother's matter, this mysterious top master would certainly act on her behalf in the future. That would certainly not b e beneficial to me at all..."
"Moreover, even if the Harker family is willing to collaborate with me again, I'm afraid that would still b e an inadequate measure. That man is so strong and powerful to the point that it is completely unimaginable. So, how could the Harker family possibly be his opponent?!"
At the spur of the moment, Cadfan felt even more terrified deep down in his heart.
He even thought to himself, 'Perhaps I should just take the initiative to apologize to Sophie and her mother. If I can ease Sophie’s hatred for me, I might be able to make a difference...'
However, at this time, he had another thought, 'No... this does not seem right!'
'Even if Sophie hates me, there is no reason for her to hate her own biological father! I sent her biological father to Australia, and he was not involved in the car accident that I had plotted against her mother. So, Sophie has no reason to ask the top master to attack her father. In addition, her second uncle has nothing t o do with this incident at all. Even if that was the case, both of them had disappeared, one after the other. So, i t is certainly impossible that he is acting under Sophie's behest...' 2
'In that case, this matter seems to be entirely different compared to what I've thought before. This mysterious person must not be acting entirely for Sophie’s good, but he must be acting based on his own likes and dislikes as a basis...’
