Chapter 2395

"Princess Diana?”

Steven had a shocked expression on his face as soon a s he thought about the bizarre fate of this legendary princess. He instantly understood what his father meant, and he exclaimed, "Dad, you... are you serious?"

Cadfan had a grim expression on his face as he said, "I will not tolerate any nonsense or joke around when the reputation of the Schulz family is at stake. In any case, I will never allow the reputation and face of the Schulz family to be ruined and destroyed in a woman's hands!" 10

As he spoke, Cadfan ground his teeth as he said coldly, "Although the Schulz family is not a royal European family, the importance of the reputation and face of the Schulz family is no lesser than that of the European royals! If anyone dares to insult our family's reputation, they should not blame me for being ruthless! I am willing to do anything and everything to defend the reputation of the Schulz family!"

Steven nodded gently.

He knew very well that whether it was a royal family. a n aristocratic family, or a prestigious and top family, their reputation was above almost everything else.

His father had already taken a step back in advance to switch the auction to a physical auction. This was equivalent to him asking Helen to consider her decision wisely and carefully. If she dared to participate directly in the auction in a reckless and unrestrained manner, she should not blame the Schulz family for being ruthless and merciless toward her!

Sometimes, they had to force the other party to make a n even bigger decision. 4

This was similar to a confrontation between two parties. If one of them could not bear the pain of killing the other party for the time being but was still unwilling to let the other party go. oftentimes, they would go the other way round and hand the knife over to the other party directly. 2

If the other party failed to appreciate kindness and picked up the knife, this would be tantamount to him helping the other person make the final decision.

This was the reason why Cadfan had wanted to move the auction from an internet auction to a physical auction instead.

The Dunn family's old butler in Aurous Hill quickly received the news that the auction would be changed t 0 a physical auction instead, and he hurriedly reported the situation to Helen.

Helen was very surprised, and she asked, "Didn't you say that the other similar auctions were all internet auctions in the past two years? Why is it a physical auction this time?”

The old butler shook his head and said, "Miss Helen, I a m not very clear about this matter either. I asked them about it. and they seem to be saying that a physical auction would be much more transparent.”

Helen did not think too much about it. She thought for a moment before she said, "Alright, then. It's okay even if it is a physical auction. Has the time and location for the physical auction already been set?”

"Yes! It has already been decided!" The old butler hurriedly said, "It will be held at ten o'clock in the morning at the auction hall in Treasure Pavilion!” "Treasure Pavilion?” Helen asked curiously, "What is the background of Treasure Pavilion?"

The old butler explained, "Treasure Pavilion is a cooperative club under the Aurous Hill Cultural Association. It focuses on selling various antiques, and it also undertakes and organizes various auctions. The owner is called Finn Baxendale.

Helen nodded before she said, "If that is the case, I will go to Treasure Pavilion directly to participate in the auction on Monday morning.” The old butler hurriedly said, "Miss Helen, in my humble opinion, you should not personally attend the auction.”

Helen asked in surprise, "Why?"

The old butler coughed awkwardly before he said,“Cough... cough... Miss Helen; the fact that you are N here i n Adrous Hill has already ca used chaos and commotion amongst the people in Eastcliff-'If you. are truly going to participate in the upcoming auction in person, it will surely cause even gréater controversy at that time..."

Helen smiled indifferently before she said seriously," The so-called controversy is simply because Sheldon and Fare not officially ivorced ye Although the both of us are not diverced, in the twenty-over years that have been married tQ™ him, IBave never had any closé or oo

intimate relationship with any other roan, even if it was just verbal ambiguity. In contrast, SKeldon claimed that he loved me, but he had already had an illegitimate daughter outside ever since such a long time a a

OQ

go. Why are his actions being pproved of, but why does it seem as though everything that I do would cause controversy?" 3

The old butler helplessly replied, "Miss Helen, even though society nowadays emphasizes equality between men and women, there are still some iatters that are still x natura ly held in a different standard for both men and women. Under the moral philosophy of the uppet-class society, people are a ways-more forgiving of men who chéat or have an affair. In truth, many of their partners would also tolerate it and turn a blind eye to this matter, let alone the public in general. 9
