Chapter 2239


    While the entire Dunn family was indulged in the happy and harmonious ambiance, Sheldon had


    packed his luggage and was ready to depart for Australia. 4


    He was in a very passive position this time. His father had explicitly told him to lie low before the


    dust settled, so he could only do so upon hismand.


    Before leaving, he called Jaime and said, "Jaime,e to my study with your sister."


    Jaime hurriedly said, "Okay, Dad. We''lle over right now."


    After saying that, he ended the call and said, "Hey, Sophie, Dad wants to see us in his study."


    Sophie huffed agitatedly, "You go by yourself. I don''t want to see him!"


    Sophie was still having a hard time epting the fact that her father had cheated on her mother


    and had an illegitimate daughter who was only a year younger than her, so she was very reluctant


    to see Sheldon right now. 5


    Jaime persuaded in a helpless tone, "Sophie, as their children, we should not interfere with our


    parents’ business so much. Besides, are you really going to cut ties with Dad because of the


    mistake hemitted more than two decades ago?"


    Sophie said seriously, "I''m not cutting ties with him. I just don’t want to see him right now, that''s all.


    You can go see him yourself."


    Jaime asked awkwardly, "Then, if Dad asks about you, what should I say?"


    Without hesitation, Sophie said, "Just tell him directly that I don''t want to see him yet."

    Seeing the seriousness of Sophie’s expression, Jaime sighed dejectedly. "Alright, then."


    He then stood up, turned, and left Sophie’s study.


    The Schulz residence covered an enormous area. The whole ce was more like a castle.


    Although they all lived under one roof, they lived in different sections of the residence.


    Jaime went downstairs to Sheldon''s study, and after knocking on the door and entering, he saw


    Sheldon holding a cigarette with a sad face, almost as if he had aged ten years at once. 4


    Seeing Jaimee in alone, Sheldon asked in surprise, "Where is your sister?"


    Jaime said awkwardly, "Uh, she is a little..."


    Sheldonughed bitterly and said, "Sophie must be mad at me, right?"


    Jaime smiled sheepishly and said, "She''s being somewhat strange. In fact, she should move on


    from this matter...” 3


    Sheldon sighed, "Well, after all, I''ve failed your mother, you, and your sister."


    Jaime hurriedly said, "Dad, don''t say that... There is no right or wrong in the matter of feelings. You


    shouldn’t me yourself too much about this..." 2


    Sheldon waved his hand. "Yes, there is no right or wrong in liking who and disliking who, but once


    you get married, you should be responsible and faithful to your marriage as well as your spouse. I


    am indeed at fault in this matter, so I won’t me Sophie for being angry with me." 3


    Then, he added, "Jaime, the reason why I called you here is to tell you that your grandfather asked


    me to g 0 to Australia to lie low. I''ll leave tonight and may not b e able to return for quite some time."


    "Australia?” Jaime yelped in shock, "Why does Grandpa want you to go to Australia now?! And


    you''re leaving in such a hurry! Even if it is a big deal, you don’t have to go all the way to Australia,


    right?"


    Sheldon managed a bitterugh and said, "Well, this matter is a scandal for both your grandfather


    and me. By asking me to go to Australia, he intends for me to take the me for this matter and


    also to divert the media''s attention. After I leave, they will definitely leak the news that I ran away


    overnight to the media, and the media will unquestionably focus all their attention on me."
