Sheldon did not hide anything during his interaction with Eliam. He told the story of his journey with Yashita from how they met to having their daughter, Rosalie, and then to his decision to propose to Yashita.
During this process, he not only expressed his shame toward Yashita and Rosalie but also expressed his gratitude toward Charlie as he said bluntly, “I would like to take this opportunity today to sincerely thank Mr. Wade for helping the Schulz family and his tolerance and forgiveness toward the Schulz family as well as his personal discipline of me.”
“If it wasn’t for Mr. Wade, I’m afraid that it would have been difficult for me to find a suitable opportunity to truly calm down and seriously think about what I wanted. It was also during this process that I realized that what I wanted was not wealth and power, but I simply wanted an ordinary life and simple happiness.”
Jaime, who was his best man, nodded as he truly agreed with Sheldon’s words.
Without Charlie’s punishment, both he and his father would still be living that arrogant, self-righteous, and complacent life.
When Cadfan saw that his eldest son and grandson seemed to be suffering from Stockholm Syndrome due to Charlie, he could not help but curse inwardly, ‘What a good-for-nothing! You could have been the head of the family but you’re now the father of the head of the family. You’re still grateful to Charlie and you’re even thanking him?! He put you under house arrest in the Harker family and you’re still thanking him?! Should I also thank him for sending me to Madagascar to feed the giraffes, then?!’
After cursing at Sheldon, he looked at Jaime, secretly clenched his teeth, and thought to himself, ‘Jaime, you’re also a good-for-nothing! Damn it! You’ve been groveling for almost half a year now. It’s fine if you don’t want to kill Charlie, but you even look like you’re grateful to him! Why are the descendants of the Schulz family such cowards and losers?!’
Cadfan, who was indignant, was holding back his anger, but his expression did not look too good.
Charlie, who was sitting not far from him, then asked, “Lord Schulz, you seem to be in a bad mood?”
“What?” Cadfan returned to his senses immediately. He was nervously startled and hurriedly said, “No, no, I’m in a good mood! Mr. Wade, why would you say that?”
