Chapter 1742


    The expression on Sophie''s face turned solemn as soon as she heard this.


    In fact, she had only mentioned that man earlier just s o that she could piss her father off. However,


    when she thought about that man, Sophie could not help but feel a little worried for him. 4


    When she thought about the fact that Machi might not be letting him off so quickly, Sophie


    immediately blurted out. 2


    "The next time we meet Machi, I''ll be giving him a warning. If he dares to secretly attack that man


    after w e have reached an agreement, then I will terminate our coboration and partnership with


    him at any time!" 7


    "Nonsense!!" Sheldon reprimanded Sophie sternly.


    "As the Schulz family representative, everything should be done and negotiated for the sole interest


    of the Schulz family. How can you possibly allow a stranger and an unknown man to affect the


    interests o f the Schulz family?! As long as we can get Machi to agree to the biggest concession


    use, then what has the life and death of that stranger got to do with us anyway?"


    Sophie felt her rage boiling within as she started rebelling, "That man only offended the Takahashi


    family because he was saving a young girl, who is also our countryman. So, how can I possibly


    allow the Takahashi family to kill him just like that?"


    Sheldon replied disdainfully, "Then you should just choose not to look or interfere when the


    Takahashi family decides to kill him, right?" 4


    Sophie gaped in disbelief. "Dad! How can you say that?! Don’t you have any principles or ethics at


    all?" i


    "Principles and ethics?" Sheldon replied coldly. 2


    "My principles and ethics only exist for the interests 0 f the Schulz family! I can give up on my


    principles and ethics anytime, as long as it is for the interests of the Schulz family!"


    "You..." 9


    Sophie was so infuriated that she was at aplete loss for words. 2


    Seeing that tension was building, Jaime hurriedly attempted to resolve the dispute.


    "Dad, Sophie, we haven''t even finished discussing business yet. So, why are both of you already


    arguing?"


    Sheldon had a gloomy expression on his face as he said, "Alright then. We should not talk about


    these trivial matters anymore. Sophie, regarding your MBA studies, we can discuss this matter


    further when youe home."


    "There is no need for any further discussion on this matter." Sophie had a cold expression on her


    face as she said, "I have already received the admission notice from the Harvard School of


    Business in my mailbox. The semester will begin in August, so I will b e leaving for the United


    States in May then."


    “You..." 9


    Sheldon wanted to continue saying something, but Jaime suddenly received a phone call. It was


    from one of the assistants who came to Tokyo together with them. 5


    N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    The other party spoke up on the other end of the line, “ Young Master, the head of the Matsumoto


    family in Tokyo, Matsumoto Yoshito is at the front desk, and he i s requesting to meet you and the


    youngdy!" 4


    "The Matsumoto family?” Jaime frowned as he asked," Are you referring to the Matsumoto family


    that ranks third ce in Tokyo?”


    "That''s right!”


    Jaime looked at the video conference interface on theputer and asked, "Dad, Sophie,


    Matsumoto family’s head, Matsumoto Yoshito is asking to see us. Should we meet him then?"


    Sheldon replied in disdain, "As far as I know, the strength of the Matsumoto family is much worse off


    compared to that of the Takahashi family and the Ito family. We only need to make our decision


    between those two families. There is no need for us to waste any time and energy on that kind of


    garbage." 7


    Jaime told his assistant over the phone, "Please help m e reject Matsumoto Yoshito. Just inform him


    that I am already resting and will not be seeing any more guests." 4


    Upon observing, Sophie voiced out. 1


    "Brother, why don''t we just meet up with him? After all, Matsumoto Yoshito is actually a pretty


    capable person. It wasn''t an easy journey to level up the entire Matsumoto family based on his own


    strength and abilities. As the saying goes, we should not hit the person who had already


    surrendered to us. He is the head of the family, but he took the effort toe all the way to the hotel


    to personally meet us in person. H e is already very humble. It is simply not right of us to refuse him


    at this point." 8


    Sheldon replied, “Sophie, it is thoughtful of you to think everything through. However, you should


    not put too much thought into everything. You will only end up overdoing it and going beyond your


    limits. If you really agree to meet up with Matsumoto Yoshito tonight, then perhaps the head of the


    fourth, fifth, or even fortieth or fiftieth families in Tokyo might swarm to the hotel just to request to


    see you tomorrow then. Would you be able to handle that?" 6


    "Well..." Sophie suddenly did not know how to respond to her father.


    Sheldon continued speaking, “That''s enough. I think w e should just listen to your brother and turn


    down his request to meet up with both of you."


    Sophie nodded slowly.


    "Okay then..."
