Chapter 1826


    Seeing how the old master pitied Curtis Wade, yton retorted, dissatisfied. "Father, Curtis has left


    us for so many years. Please stop bringing him up. Besides, we are all responsible as to why Curtis


    left us. Basically, the entire Eastcliff was involved in one way or


    another. It wasn''t something that we could control." 5


    Caleb agreed and chimed in, "Yes, father. Isn''t this supposed to be about Jaime and Sophie? How


    did this suddenly turn into a talk about Curtis?" s


    Old master sighed. "Alright, let''s not talk about it anymore. Let''s get down to business. So, to sum


    up, the Schulz family screwed up their venture to Japan. The uing events are not looking good


    for them; hence this is a perfect opportunity to make our move and catch up to them! What do you


    think?"


    Everyone nced at each other excitedly. yton nodded in agreement. "You''re right, Father. I,


    too, think that this is a great opportunity for us!" 2


    "Our shipping business started out a littleter than the Schulz family and was at an absolute


    disadvantage, but if we could take advantage of the current situation and get the Ito family to work


    with u s to take over the Japanese market, we''d definitely be i n the way of the Schulz''s and halt


    their progress. This would be a good chance to strike a blow at them!"


    Jeremiah nodded before pondering for a moment.


    "At the moment, we are not in the position to go head-o n against the Schulz family. This matter has


    to be done discreetly. Everything has to be done precisely and slowly to not tip off the Schulz family,


    or else we will lose the edge." 3


    yton was puzzled as to the remark. "Father, the Schulz''s family, literally went to Japan to destroy


    families in such a high-profiled manner, so why should we discuss terms of cooperation with Japan


    so discreetly?" 2


    Jeremiah smiled. "The Schulz family''s force is currently over there. If we were to march into Japan


    and try to get the Ito family to cooperate, it''s like a p to their face to the Schulz''s. It wouldn''t end


    well b y disregarding the Schulz family''s dignity." 4

    He then continued, "If we were to cause such a blow to their dignity, judging by the way they work,


    they would most definitely try to pick a head-on fight with us. And if that happens, we''d be in serious


    trouble."


    yton asked hurriedly, "Father, what do you mean b y that?" 5


    Jeremiah''s tone turned serious. "To go against the Schulz family, we need to proceed with caution


    and really discern all matters with wise judgment and thoroughly. We can''t just judge things by the


    cover and assume that everything is of superficial value only." 5


    yton quickly stood up, sped his fists, and bowed.


    "Father, your son here is ignorant. Please enlighten m e!" 2


    Jeremiah shook his head slightly, and the thought of Curtis suddenly appeared in his mind again. 2


    He sighed. ''My eldest son, yton, although a brilliant and talented man, is still far from being a


    genius. As such, he tends to be unable to grasp moreplex matters. Curtis, on the other hand, is


    literally a genius of his own league. He isn''t the kind that needs someone to point out to understand.


    He doesn''t even need any pointers to be able to see the whole picture. Simple someone who can


    get on the job with little to zero guidance. Such a waste... Such... a waste...’ 4


    yton saw a sh of disappointment in his father''s eyes, and his face and ears flushed red with


    embarrassment.


    Jeremiah unconsciously spoke his mind and quickly brushed it aside as he turned his attention back


    to those at the meeting. "Although the Schulz family has many heirs, only Sheldon has caught the


    attention of Cadfan Schulz. His two children have been verypetitive, and both have been


    known to be their family''s most capable heirs for their generation."


    "Especially Sophie Schulz. Both Cadfan and Sheldon loved Sophie deeply. This father-son duo


    treated Sophie with so much love and affection that it has outshone all the other heirs, including the


    oldest grandson, Jaime." 4 "Should Cadfan were to pass away first, then the


    power of the Schulz family will definitely be inherited by Sheldon." 4 "In the future, amongst the


    family members, the one who would have the greatest say will undoubtedly be Sophie Schulz!" s


    As Jeremiah exined the fold of events, his eyes glistened with a strange determination as his


    tone grew stern. "Sophie Schulz is a woman and will eventually marry off as a wife in the future.


    Once she gets married, the Schulz family will begin to divide into two. The lucky man who can


    marry Sophie will be that person to obtain half of the Schulz family''s fortune!"
