The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2242

The driver immediately started the car and left.

Jaime watched the car leave the residence courtyard, feeling utterly at a loss.

Tonight was more tormenting than the night he and Sophie had been kidnapped. 5

At that time, they had faced only a life-threatening situation. 2

But tonight, he had experienced a series of astonishing changes such as his father's illegitimate daughter, his parents' broken marriage, as well as his father losing his power and being exiled to Australia.

He was not only worried about his parents' relationships and his father's future, but also his own future.

Before tonight, his father was the heir of the entire Schulz family, which made him the heir apparent after his father.

However, tonight's change had transformed everything.

His father had lost the favor and trust of his grandfather. If Sheldon lost his power and collapsed, his future was also bound to be gloomy.

If Steven became the heir of the family, he would stand no chance at all!

The worried Jaime returned to Sophie's study, where she was still checking and identifying the photos of male passengers at the Japanese airport.

When she saw Jaime return, she looked at him and said, sounding indignant, "What did Dad want from you? Was he looking for an excuse to clear his name?"

"No..." Jaime let out a long sigh. "Argh! Grandpa expelled Dad to Australia!"

"What?!" Bewildered, Sophie shrieked, "Dad has been exiled to Australia? When did this happen?!"

"Just now." Jaime said with a sorrowful face, "Dad has already packed his luggage and left. Uncle Steven sent him to the airport."

Puzzled, Sophie asked, "Why did Grandpa want to expel Dad to Australia? In this matter, the only thing that is related to Dad is his relationship with Rosalie. It's not a big deal for Dad to be exposed as having an illegitimate daughter. Why did Grandpa have to do this?"

Jaime answered, "Dad said that Grandpa wants him to take the blame."

Sophie's heart skipped a beat, and she said, "Oh no, this is bad... If Dad leaves, Grandpa will surely dump all the crap on him..."

With that, Sophie said nervously, "From what I see,

Grandpa might declare to the public that it was Dad's decision to sell Rosalie off to Japan! That way, he will be able to clear his name of betraying his own granddaughter, while Dad will have to take the blame for betraying his own daughter!"

Jaime said helplessly, "What else can he do anyway... Grandpa asked Dad to leave tonight, and he has to go..."

Sophie looked at Jaime and said seriously, "Jaime, there will be a drastic change in the Schulz family soon." Jaime asked, "You also feel it?"

Sophie nodded with a solemn expression and uttered," Jaime, I don't care about money or power. I'm a girl anyway, and I'm not likely to inherit much of the family fortune, but you're different. If Dad can't get back on his feet this time, you're screwed..."

Covering his face, Jaime said sadly, "What else can we do? I can see that Grandpa is eager to clear his name, and the best person to take the blame is Dad..."

With that, he added, "Moreover, taking the blame for betraying his own daughter is very ruthless. If our dad is to take the blame for it, he will surely become the icon of heartlessness and cruelty, and this will bring a n extremely bad impact on his reputation. With this alone, Grandpa will never let him inherit the position as the head of the Schulz family..."

At this point, Jaime sighed. "Alas... Our family may not be able to rise again." 3

Sophie's beautiful eyebrows were tightly knitted. She clenched her mouthful of white teeth and said resolutely, "No way! We must help Dad take back his position as the heir of the family!" Jaime blurted, "How?"

Sophie said in a cold voice, "You'll see. Let's go to Aurous Hill with Mom tomorrow and stay away from this mess for a while. I have my own way to help Dad get everything back!"
