The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

When Sheldon heard this, he could not help but shudder! He never expected that both of his daughters would actually still be alive! Moreover, they had both been saved by Charlie.

Since this was the case, what would he do if Charlie really wanted him to give his own life in exchange?! He truly felt very guilty toward both of his daughters, and he really wanted them to be safe and sound. However, he was also human, and he had not lived enough yet! He did not want to die either! As he thought about this, he suddenly trembled as he choked up and said, "Mr. Wade, I swear that I did not kill your parents back then. I really have nothing to do with your parents' death." After that, he quickly added, "I'll say something from the bottom of my heart. In the first half of my life, no matter what I did, I would always get crushed and defeated by your father. He was the most recognized talent in the entire Eastcliff, and perhaps even in the whole of Oskia! He was not only very handsand suave, but he was also very talented and naturally gifted!" As he spoke, the expression on Sheldon's face darkened as he sighed and said, "What about me? What am I? I'm just the eldest son of the Schulz family. I was not only inferior compared to him in every aspect, but even the woman I loved the most has always been deeply in love with him. Even after his death, his shadow has always been envelopingall this while! All this tuntil now!" 4 When Helen, who was on the side, heard this, she suddenly had a guilty expression on her face.

Sheldon continued crying bitterly as he continued," Although it has already been so many years, I've never once admitted that Curtis is better than me. However, I also know very well in my heart that I, Sheldon Schulz, can never be compared to Curtis Wade. In fact, I'm so much worse compared to him! So, based on my abilities, how could I possibly have killed him, then?!" "I truly hated him to the bone when he was still alive. Why don't you think about it carefully? If I could really kill him, why didn't I kill him when he was still shining brightly and radiantly? Why didn't I kill him when he was standing at the top of the world? Why would I wait for him to retire before I took action against him?" When Charlie saw that Sheldon was extremely emotional and he seemed to be venting and confessing the truth as he said these words, he also began to realize that if this was the case, Sheldon was probably not his parents' murderer.

It was not simply because there were no clues at all in Sheldon's performance, but it was even more so because there was actually struth to what he had just said.

Charlie thought to himself, 'He hates my father for sure.' 'So, if he had the ability and capability, he would have certainly taken action against my father when my father was still shining radiantly and completely overshadowed him back then.' 'He would not have waited until my father retired before taking action against him.' 'That is completely illogical!"*"* 'Besides, everyone has already said that my father has always been an extremely gifted leader of men. On the contrary, Sheldon Schulz does not qualify to touch his side at all. Therefore, if my father were to die in the hands of someone like him, it would certainly be a huge insult to my father!' However, even if Charlie had already determined that Sheldon was not the murderer who had taken his parents' lives, he did not have any intention of letting him go.

It was not because of anything else, but it was simply because of the words 'Anti-Wade Alliance'. 1 Even if these words did not ultimately cause his parents' death, the fact that Sheldon had been going against his father all the twas already in itself an indefensible and unforgivable sin and offense! Thus, he would have to make sure that Sheldon paid the price for those two words.

So, Charlie said coldly, "Regardless of whether my parents' death has anything to do with you or not, that does not matter anymore now. That is because according to what you have just said, your life is not a tribute to my parents, but it is actually to be offered in exchange for your daughters' lives! Even if my parents' death really had nothing to do with you, since Sophie and Rosalie are both standing here safe and completely unharmed today, you will have to die!" Sheldon's face turned pale as soon he heard these words.

'That's right.' 'What Charlie has just said is right.' 'Even if we were to forget about his parents' matter, I was the one who said that I would be willing to sacrifice my own life in exchange for my daughters' lives. I have already disappointed both of my daughters. So, I cannot continue letting them down and making them feel even more disappointed withnow..." But...

As he thought about this, Sheldon suddenly felt even more tangled and painful in his heart.

He did not want to die.

He really did not want to die.

On one hand, he did not want both of his daughters to continue feeling so disappointed with him, and on the other hand, he did not want to die just like that. Sheldon suddenly felt that he did not know what he should do anymore.

When Charlie saw that Sheldon was simply lowering his head without saying anything at all, he immediately asked in a Satirical manner, "Why? You want to go back on your words now?" "I... I'm not..." Sheldon blurted out.

Charlie questioned him in return, "Then, how would you like to die? Do you want to die on your own, or I you liketo help you?" s X
