Chapter 2399

A few seconds ago, Sophie had still been considering the face and reputation of the Schulz family.

However, at this very moment, Sophie had suddenly come to a realization. "Although I am also a member o f the Schulz family, I am also a woman! If I cannot stand firmly by my own mother’s side when she is encountering this kind of problem today, if I were to get married to someone and encounter the same kind of trouble in the future, no one will stand by my side when that happens either!" 5

"The root cause of this matter is not about the face and reputation of the Schulz family, but it is a matter o f principle!"

"Since it is a matter of principle, it is all about what is right or wrong. What is right, will always be right, and what is wrong, is simply wrong. A woman should not have to suffer any grievances and be wronged just because the person who had committed the wrong was a man!"

"So, no matter what it is, I will have to accompany you to participate in this auction today, Mom!" Jaime felt very helpless when he saw this. As the eldest grandson of the Schulz family, he could actually distinguish between the pros and cons of this matter.

From the Schulz family's perspective, he felt that his mother should not be participating in the auction at a time like this because the overall situation of the Schulz family was in fact, the most important matter a t hand.

But after listening to what his mother and sister had said, he suddenly realized that he should not be neglecting his mother by simply looking at things entirely from the perspective of the Schulz family.

So, Jaime could only sigh as he said, "Mom, I will accompany you toc." Helen smiled comfortably as she said seriously,” Jaime, you don’t need to accompany me. It is already sufficient for Sophie to accompany me." Jaime hurriedly asked, "Mom, why won't you allow me to accompany you?”

Helen replied solemnly, "You are the eldest grandson o f the Schulz family. So, it would be better for you not t o cause any trouble for yourself at this time." 4

Jaime hurriedly said, "But Sophie, she..."

Helen waved her hand and said, "Your status is different compared to Sophie.”

In truth, Jaime understood this clearly.

He was the eldest grandson of the Schulz family, and h e would have to try his best to inherit the Schulz

EINVAL RGERTI(IER

If he were to make a mistake in his grandfather's eyes, he would completely lose out on all opportunities to inherit the Schulz family in the future. 3 Moreover, Jaime was not as open-minded as Sophie was.

Sophie was completely indifferent to the Schulz family's assets, power, and inheritance right, but Jaime could not bring himself to do that yet. 1

At this time, the old butler also offered a word of advice as he said, "Young Master, you should listen to Miss Helen's advice. It would be better for you not to attend the auction." 3

Jaime hesitated again and again, and he could only ned helplessly as he said, "Mom, if that is the case... if that is the case, I will not accompany you to the auction, then..."

Jaime lowered his head in shame after he spoke.

He knew that even though his mother was the one who had taken the initiative to ask him not to accompany her, he could not help but felt a little relieved.

Helen seemeghto be able to read his thoughts, and she said, "Jaime, you can get he driver to send you to the airport. I’ [rave already arranged ft for the private jet to take off at ten: o'clock in the morning to bring you back to Eastcliff.” to’ o

"Eh?!" Jaime exclaimed, "Mom, I... I don't want to go back to Eastcliff yet...

This will also be a display of your attitude toward the Schulz family."

Jaime immediately became anxious, and he blurted out, "What attitude do I have to display to them? Do you want me to make it seem as though I am deliberately parting ways with you?" 6

"That's right." Helen nodded, and she did not conceal her true intentions as she said, "That is my intention. This is what want to do, and it has nothing to dQwith you at all. You don't haveo stay and stand by my side. Yotrshould not be implicated in this nuatter just because of mecIf you go back to Eastcliff now it will b e.eq ~guivalent to you proving your attitude and loyalty t o the Schulz family, the public, and your grandfather. That way, you will be able to reduce the impact of my actions on your future. Besides, this will not cause any substantial losses to our relationship as mother and son. So, why wouldn't you do it, then?"

Jaime blurted out, "But I don't want to express this attitude!"

Helen sighed helplessly before she smiled and said,” Jaime, you need to be a little more mature."

With that being said, Helen locked at the old butler before she said, "Uncle Walters, help me send Jaime to the airport.” The old butler nodded without any hesitation as he said, "Okay, Miss Helen.”

Jaime hurriedly said, "Mom! I still have some business to deal with in Aurous Hill." 8
