Chapter 797 Act of Heaven
Kingsley had to address some of his concerns before he could proceed. So, he said, "That incident should have happened about 40 to 50 years ago. That person should be in their 60s or 70s now. It's uncertain whether they're still alive."
He was genuinely worried that if that person had already passed away, he wouldn't be able to fulfill the old lady's wish. Would the Sheffields still cooperate with Neveah once that happened?
Old Mrs. Sheffield slowly sat back in her chair with Cameron's assistance as she swore, "Mr. Nicholson, you don't have to worry. If he has already passed away, I'll consider it as an act of Heaven. The Sheffields will still cooperate with Neveah."
She gritted her teeth with hatred and continued, "However, an eye for an eye, a life for a life! As long as he's still alive, I want him to pay for his crimes! My husband passed away when he was still in his prime, so why did the murderer get to live a peaceful life until his old age? It's unfair!"
He knew just what it felt like to bear a deep grudge toward someone.
Plus, this woman in her 70s had discarded her dignity as an elder just to beg him for help. There was no way he could possibly refuse her.
"Alright, Old Mrs. Sheffield, I promise you. I'll help you with this favor," he said. Then, after a moment of pause, he drawled, "It just so happens that I, too, have some unfinished business with the Stewarts."
Tears welled up in Old Mrs. Sheffield's eyes once more when she heard his agreement. "Thank you, Mr. Nicholson..."
Meanwhile, Cameron picked up on the other information in his words and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Nicholson, you just mentioned... the Stewarts? Judging from your words, do you perhaps know just
who this Jake Stewart is?"
"It's highly likely." He nodded affirmatively. "If the murderer is capable of crushing internal organs with his bare fists, then I'm about 99% certain he's from the Stewart Family in Diosna City."
Old Mrs. Sheffield wiped away her tears as she murmured, "As a woman, I'm not well-informed about matters outside of the jewelry business in the Sheffield Family. Mr. Nicholson, you have more than proven that you have connections and abilities that are beyond my capabilities. I entrust this matter to you..."
Kingsley waved his hand in dismissal. "There's no need for you to put yourself down like that. You've managed the Sheffield Family so well that you are most definitely a remarkable woman."
She simply sighed wearily as she answered, "When my husband passed away, my son was still young. In order to fulfill my husband's last wish, I had to shoulder the entire Sheffield Family business alone. Managing Sheffield Jewelry has consumed all my energy. As a result, not only am I ignorant of external matters, but I also neglected my son's education."
Finally, she complained, "Now, he's nothing but a wastrel! So, I've been forced to carry this burden for decades. Suffice it to say, I'm physically and mentally exhausted."
Since they were on this particular topic, she held Cameron's hand and said with satisfaction, "Fortunately, my granddaughter is far from a disappointment. She's truly outstanding in every way."
Then, she turned her attention to Kingsley. "I will be free from any burdens and finally rest at ease after you've helped me seek revenge. At that time, I will hand over the entire Sheffield Family to Cameron..."
Cameron widened her eyes in astonishment upon hearing Old Mrs. Sheffield's words. "Grandmother, you want to hand over the entire Sheffield Family to me? I-I don't have the abilityContent © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
to..."
Before Cameron could finish stuttering her sentence, Old Mrs. Sheffield gently patted her hand and said, "You're young and intelligent, much better than me! Look at me! I've barely been able to maintain the current state of the Sheffield Family for so many years. Moreover, I'm just an uneducated old lady. I know nothing about the outside world other than the Sheffield Family. This whole thing with the Stewarts just proves my ignorance."
Then, she continued, "If you're the one leading the Sheffields, I believe you can take it towards a broader future! Maybe you can even fulfill your grandfather's dream!"
Cameron's expression turned complicated. "But... Grandmother, I really haven't prepared myself for that position. I'm afraid I'm not capable enough..."
"What are you afraid of!" Old Mrs. Sheffield exclaimed while her eyes darted toward Kingsley.
"Don't you have Mr. Nicholson's support? As long as you have his help, what do you have to worry about?"
As she spoke, she even pushed Cameron toward him…
