Chapter 2398


    Some people felt that Helen would not make an appearance because they believed that the Schulz family would certainly pressure Helen in regards


    to this matter. In any case, they would never allow her to embarrass the Schulz family. 4


    At the same time, some people felt that since Helen had already gone to Aurous Hill to visit Curtis''s former residence, and since she had even


    registered to participate in this auction, based on her persanality, even if someone were to threaten her, she would certainly show up for the auction. 5


    Therefore, the people in Eastcliff even started cing bets on whether Helen would appear at the auction or not. 2


    The Dunn family mansion in Aurous Hill.


    Helen was already ready. 3


    She had already made up her mind that she would have to show up at this auction. So, even though the Schulz family had a very big opinion in


    regards to this matter, she was still determined to set off.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.


    The pair of siblings, Jaime and Sophie, were already standing by Helen''s door early in the morning. As soon as Helen opened her room door, the pair


    of brother and sister immediately saw their mother, who was dressed very formally.


    Jaime immediately felt very anxious, and he blurted out, "Mom! Are you really going to participate in that auction?”


    Helen nodded slightly and said, "I have already signed up for it. So, how could I possibly not attend the auction?”


    Sophie said anxiously, "Mom! You cannot attend the auction. My friend told me that everyone in Eastcliff is paying close attention to you now. They


    said that if you are indeed going to attend the auction today, the Schulz family would certainly lose all of their face and reputation...”


    Helen said earnestly, "I am not the person who is going to determine the Schulz family''s face and reputation. The Schulz family''s face and reputation


    are determined entirely by the decisions and actions o f the people from the Schulz family itself. Your grandfather and father''s actions are the key


    people who would directly affect the face and reputation of the Schulz family."


    Sophie eagerly replied, "Mom, I


    understand what you mean.


    However, based on the current


    situation, the previous events that


    happened in the Schulz family are”


    alreadypletely irreparable


    However, if you give up and choose


    notto participate in the auction this


    time, you will be able to kelp the


    Schulz family maintain some of their

    Helen looked at Sophie before she spoke earnestly,” Sophie, I have never cared about anyone''s opinion of m e, including their thoughts about me in


    this matter. So, everyone can think however they want to, but you are the only person who cannot think badly of me. Do you know why?" 3


    Sophie subconsciously shook her head.


    After that, she asked, "Mom, why is that so?”


    Helen replied seriously, "The reason why everyone thinks that I should save the Schulz family''s face and reputation is because they think that I am


    already a married woman. They feel that as a married woman, my priority should always be the interest of my husband and his family at all times."


    "Even if my husband cheated on me


    and has a lover outside, I should not


    cause a huge''scene over this


    matter. On the contrary, I have to put


    on an acto pretend that everything


    is fineqnd peaceful just so that)"


    everyone will know that I always


    ge my husband''s face and


    reputation as the most important


    thing above all else. In their opinion,


    this is how women should generally


    behave." 4


    "But in my opinion, this kind of woman is simply too pitiful! Why should I be wronged and suffer a grievance just to live ording to other people''s


    standards? Why should I be wronged and suffer a grievance just to please others? Do I really have to live that way just because I am a woman?" 3


    As she spoke, Helen looked at


    Sophie as she said solemnly,


    "Sophie, I have never expected you


    to marry a wealthy or powerful.

    you witt-be able to protect and Ny


    defers your dignity and self- worth at


    all tithes. You should never.end up

    other people''s standards. Otherwise,


    you will never b e happy in this life!"

    Sophie was stunned when she heard her mother’s words at this moment.


    She could not help but look at the resolute expression i n her mother''s eyes as she felt a strong and raging urge rise from within her heart.


    She could not help but wonder, ''Why did I say such things to my mother? If something like this were to happen to me in the future, would I convince


    myself to do the same thing when that happens, then? Sophie, o h Sophie, why are you so stupid...”


    As she thought about this, Sophie could not help but clench her fists and grind her teeth as she said, "Mom! Since you have to attend this auction no


    matter what, I will apany you to attend the auction as well!"
