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

Helen was not enraged as she listened to Sheldon's accusation. Instead, she responded flatly, "Sheldon, if you have any self-awareness, you should know that you are the one standing in the moral standpoint now. If you still want to seize the moral high ground by force at this moment, you truly disappoint me." 2

With that, Helen continued, "Love is not something you say, but it's what you do and how you act. You accuse me of being cold-blooded for proposing divorce to you, but what about you? You have a twenty- something-year-old illegitimate daughter that you've been hiding from me for so many years. Have you ever thought about our marriage?" 2

Sheldon suddenly became depressed when he heard these remarks and thought, 'She's right. I have no right to accuse her of being cold-blooded. After all, I'm the one who committed the mistake for more than two decades...'

Just when he didn't know what to say, Helen sighed and continued, "Anyway, I called you to ask you to get through the divorce as soon as possible because I plan to settle down in Aurous Hill. Even if I don't reside here permanently, I'm going to stay here for a while. If we can divorce earlier, it's for your own good too so that others won't speculate about you because of this."

Helen did not state the matter very clearly, but Sheldon figured out the implicit meaning in her remarks.

If Helen and Sheldon were still husband and wife, Helen settling in Aurous Hill for Curtis would indeed affect Sheldon's reputation to a certain extent.

However, if they were divorced, Sheldon could at least retain his reputation, albeit a little. 5
