Sheldon quickly said, "Don't worry. Give me twenty minutes. I'll help you with this."
He then hung up the phone.
Preslie placed her phone back into her pocket.
She had no idea how Sheldon was going to help her.
But for some reason, she'd stopped worrying.
Deep inside, she knew that Sheldon was a very dependable person.
Since Sheldon had told her that he would help her, that meant that he was definitely going to help her.
Twenty minutes later, a strong gust of wind blew all over the place.
Preslie and Celine noticed it from inside their room. Their relatives outside in the hall noticed it as well.
Everyone who heard the loud noise went to look at what was causing it.
A helicopter had landed in an open field within their neighborhood.
Preslie's family lived in an old neighborhood. The buildings were large and had a large park or empty space in the middle of the area. It was large enough to fit an entire helicopter.
Some soldiers started to disembark from the helicopter and formed into two lines.
From behind them came another person who was also dressed in military uniform.
However, unlike all the other soldiers, he stood out much more prominently.
It wasn't just because of all of his military badges, he was also very tall and handsome.
After he got off the helicopter, the man headed straight towards Preslie's home.
Back in the Frenandez family's living room, someone shouted, "Those are soldiers from Nashaland. Oh my god, they're here to arrest Preslie's family. The Nashaland government must have heard that they've been bragging about themselves and are here to take them away."
The entire Fernandez family began to panic.
"Looks like it. Oh god, if only we weren't here as their guests today. Hopefully they won't hurt us."
"It was all Preslie's mom's fault! She was the one who invited us over. Just our luck!" "Did you see how many soldiers there were? If we get caught, things won't be good for us!"
"We're done for. We're going to get caught. We're not related to this family. We're just guests here. We don't know anything!"
There was a large commotion.
Just as everyone was panicking, someone knocked on the door.
Calter rushed over and unlocked the door.
He knew who that man was.
It was the same man who took his family to the Presidential Palace in Nashaland!
The other relatives didn't know this, but Calter was sure that they weren't here to arrest them. Perhaps he had come to invite his family over to the Presidential Palace again!
Calter tried to explain this to the others, but because they were all panicking, he couldn't get a chance to tell them!
But there was no need for an explanation after all. As soon as the door swung open, everything was made clear.
Calter held his breath.
He had waited for the door to swing open to finally clear the air. Once they saw who it was, they'd realize how foolish they've been.
The door swung open completely.
Calter extended his hand out enthusiastically. "Comrade, you're here!"
Sheldon had specially made his way over to make Preslie look good in front of her relatives.
That's why, even though he didn't actually like Calter, he still responded with courtesy. "Mr. Fernandez, good to see you."
