NovelEnglishUpon hearing Jeremiah's remarks, all the Wade family members looked at each other in bewilderment, feeling as though he was talking about a fairytale rather than a statement.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBy comparison, the Schulz family'sworth was about 20% higher than the Wade family, which wasn't very significant at first glance. 7 However, because the actual amount ofworth of these two families was so large, the 20% difference in monetary value was incredibly huge.
If the Wade family wanted to overtake the Schulz family, their assets would have to increase by at least several hundred billion.
The Schulz family was already stronger than the Wade family in terms of volume, and naturally, they were growing faster than the Wade family. Consequently, the Schulz family was slowly widening the gap with the Wade family.
It was not only difficult to rise against the current and catch up with the Schulz family, but it almost sounded like a fantasy. 4 Jeremiah looked at the silent crowd and sighed." Twenty years ago, when Curtis was still alive, the Wade family had almost surpassed the Schulz family under his leadership. At that time, he formulated the strategy of national domination. It was such an excellent strategy that all the big families in Eastcliff believed that our family would definitely overtake the Schulz family and becthe top of the country..." He paused for a moment and continued, a dash of sorrow flashing across his eyes, "But after he left, none of you could do what he could..." 2 Upon hearing this, his eldest son, Clayton, frowned in displeasure and said, "Father, it's not fair for you to say that. You keep saying that we're not as good as Curtis, but you were the one who kicked him and his family out of our house. If you hadn't kicked them out, our family would have completed the goal of national domination by now and gotten to the top." 6 "You..." Jeremiah angrily pointed at Clayton with his mouth wide agape. He wanted to yell at him, but he swallowed it all before he could say anything. 6 He let out a long sigh and said to everyone, "The past is the past. Let's focus on the present." Clayton uttered, "In your opinion, what is the best way to shorten the gap between us and the Schulz family?" Jeremiah hesitated for a moment and said, "The Schulz family has a lot of male offspring. Lord Schulz has five sons and thirteen grandsons, but if I'm not mistaken, he has only two granddaughters, one of whom is twenty- two years old and is of marriageable age, while the other is not yet an adult. These two girls are the apples of the Schulz family's eyes. If one of our grandchildren can marry their granddaughter, it would be a great help to our family." 3 Carmen Wade, Charlie's aunt, said, "Father, the eldest granddaughter of the Schulz family is very pampered and beloved in the family. If you want to arrange a marriage with the girl, it must be with the eldest grandson of our family." The eldest grandson of the Wade family was Felix Wade, Clayton's son. 6 At this moment, Clayton sighed and said, "Carmen, Felix has been engaged to the Princess of Norway since last year and the wedding will be held this summer. Almost everyone in Eastcliff knows about it. There's no way we can cancel their wedding arrangement." "Yes," Felix uttered. "I've seen Sophie Schulz before. She is a very detached and passive person who rarely participates in social activities. Many domestic and international debutante gatherings have used all the tricks up their sleeves to invite her, but she has never accepted it. It is extremely difficult to pursue her. Moreover, I'm already engaged. If I pursue her, the Schulz family will be able to see my motives at a glance..." 5 Hugh Wade, one of Charlie's cousins and Caleb's eldest son, piped up in unconcealable excitement," Grandpa, shall I try?" 5 Clayton glanced at his ordinary-looking nephew, shook his head, and said, "Hugh, the Schulz family is already above us. Even Felix may not be able to charm them, let alone you." 3

Clayton smiled coyly. "Oh, Caleb. If you're not convinced, you can let Hugh try. I'm just worried that before he even has a chance to meet Sophie, he would beca laughingstock." 6 Jeremiah let out a sigh and added insult to injury as he said, "Clayton's right. Hugh is not a suitable candidate for the marriage arrangement." 6
Then, his eyes blinked in astonishment as if something had struck his mind. He looked at Le m Stephen, who hadn't spoken, and said, "Stephen, if I wanted to let Curtis's son marry the Schulz girl, do you think he would agree?" Like RICH WOMEN?
