Jaime had recently been busy with the concert matters at the venue. So, he had already run out early i n the morning to supervise the work. Although he had seen the news that his younger sister was going to hold a press conference, he did not bother to ask her what exactly she was planning to do.
So, he said to Cadfan, "Grandpa, I happen to be a little busy with some matters today, so I haven't had time to talk to Sophie. Why don't you wait for me for a while? I'll call her and ask her about it, then."
Cadfan blurted out, "Don’t call her. There are many details that you'll not be able to detect over the phone. You should hurry up and make a trip back home so that you can talk to Sophie face to face. It'd be best if you can bypass your mother and grandfather and question Sophie about it in private. Ask her clearly what she is planning to do exactly so that I can also make some early preparations, then."
Cadfan was truly afraid that Sophie would aim all of the spearheads directly at him at the press conference.
When the people in the public scolded him, they were just a group of people with a common cause that was without a leader, and each of them could only say a mouthful.
However, if Sophie were to take the lead in scolding him, there would be a very clear venting path for the anger of hundreds of millions of people across the country. At that time, Cadfan was afraid that some people might even be marching out on the streets with banners to scold him. 4
Jaime sensed that his grandfather was very nervous about this matter. So, he hurriedly said, "Okay, Grandpa. I'll go back right now, and I'll give you a report immediately if there is any progress in the matter!" 1
Cadfan instructed him, "I’m not just asking you to find out what Sophie is thinking about. You also have to find a way to persuade her to let go of her hatred and resentment. You have to let her know that she is a member of the Schulz family, not a member of the Dunn family. She is one with the Schulz family, and she is bound to be together with the Schulz family through the good and bad. Now that the Schulz family is facing both internal and external difficulties, it is not the time for her to spend so much energy on herself!" 5
Jaime hurriedly said, "I understand, Grandpa. Don't worry, I'll try my best to persuade her!"
"Okay..." Cadfan said a little dejectedly, "You have to make sure that you do your best to persuade her to handle this matter moderately! As long as you're able t o persuade her to do so, I'll definitely not treat you badly in the future!"
When Jaime heard these words, he was filled with extreme excitement as he hurriedly agreed to it. After that, he quickly drove back home. 2
Sophie had already locked herself up in her room in the Dunn family’s old mansion, and she was preparing the manuscript for her press conference tonight.
The press conference tonight was the very beginning 0 f her three-year plan. So, it was extremely significant for Sophie, and she could not afford to make any mistakes at all.
