Chapter 99 Scandalous Article
It turned out that the person standing behind Cordelia was indeed the renowned Empyrean Lord, who reigned over the entire nation.
They also finally understood why Benedict had made such a crazy decision–he wanted to atone for his sins!
“We are willing to follow you and enter North River District without any hesitation, Mr. Sheldon!” declared everyone in unison.
Their attitudes had taken a tremendous change. They were no longer fearful but extremely excited.
The opportunity for the Sheldon family to rise again has arrived!
Kane chimed in, “Dad, I want to go to North River District with you to atone for my sins too.”
However, Benedict patted his son’s shoulder and replied, “Stay at the Sheldon residence. Remember, if I don’t come back within three days, go to Cordelia Group and kneel there. Tell Cordelia everything I’ve done.”
The Chalkers were the most powerful and dangerous family in North River District.
Benedict made this decision without any intention of surviving. He wanted to sacrifice himself for a once–in–a–lifetime opportunity for the Sheldon family.
When the members of the Sheldons heard his words, tears welled up in their eyes.
Mr. Sheldon has truly put everything on the line!
Meanwhile, a summer tuition class in Jadeborough was filled with students.
Since there was only one month left before the final year of high school, the students had to start studying diligently in order to achieve good results for the university entrance examination a year later.
Of course, many were forced by their parents to attend the tuition class instead of coming of their own accord.
Charlotte, who detested studying, was one of them.
While the teacher was not paying attention, she secretly took out her phone and started reading a novel,
Just when she was engrossed in the story, a news advertisement suddenly popped up on the page, and she accidentally clicked on it. Tsk, how annoying!
However, when she scanned the contents of the article, she was dumbfounded.

Mr. Lund… is a pretty boy who leeches on women? I don’t believe it!
Without even bidding farewell to her teacher, Charlotte grabbed her backpack and ran out of the classroom.
She returned to the Sunderland residence.
“Charlotte, aren’t you supposed to be in class today? Why did you come back all of a sudden?” Franklin asked in surprise.
Charlotte held up her phone in front of him. With reddened eyes, she said, “Grandpa, this article says that Mr. Lund is a pretty boy who’s being kept by a woman.”
“Nonsense!” A grim expression instantly crossed his face as he bellowed, “These profit–hungry news agencies! They can’t do anything but spout garbage.”
Franklin had already read the article, but he did not believe it at all.
Someone like Mr. Lund can’t possibly be a kept man. These unscrupulous news agencies are simply spouting
nonsense.
Thomas agreed, “What you see is not necessarily the truth, Charlotte. Kids your age are easily swayed by what others say. Don’t read such nonsensical articles anymore in the future.”
“Okay!”
Charlotte nodded, not believing the article either. She merely felt indignant on behalf of Emrys.
Thomas smiled and comforted her, “Don’t worry. The bad guys will soon face their consequences.”
After saying that, he left the house and headed straight for Osmond’s mansion. When he arrived, he realized that the heads of several other prominent families were also present.
Everyone looked solemn.
Osmond, the South River King, stated gloomily, “Since the Chalker family insists on playing with fire, their downfall is inevitable. Before that happens, we must do something too. We must go to North River District and pressurize them.”
“Agreed!”
“Agreed
“Agreed!”
All the heads of the prominent families expressed their willingness to follow Osmond and head to North River District.
Otherwise, it would be too shameless of them to divide the Chalkers‘ assets among themselves
