Charleston immediately became angry. “B*stard! What do you mean by that? Are you trying to sow discord between us?”

Shaun smiled. “Mr. Steele, don’t be angry. I’m just saying what I think! That day, when I returned home and checked the surveillance cameras, I realized that although Jordan caused my mother’s death, he didn’t do it on purpose.

“My mother wanted to control his mind, but she suffered a backlash. Her body was already quite weak, so she died. For this reason, I can forgive Jordan and not make a fuss about him causing my mother’s death. But in return, you have to stop your plan to use the other families to deal with me. Tomorrow, you have to take back what you said at today’s meeting! Deal?”

Charleston considered this proposal very carefully.

Jordan did not purposely murder Shaun’s mother. She was killed by the backlash from trying to take over Jordan’s mind. As such, Jordan could not be held responsible.

As long as Charleston turned a blind eye to the matter between the Handley and Schmid families, the Steeles and Handleys would stay out of each other’s way. It was a good thing for everyone.

Charleston thought for a moment. “Alright then, tomorrow, I will take back my suggestion to hold next year’s meeting in your castle!”

Shaun smiled. “Very good. I knew you were a smart person. It’s getting late. I should go.”

Having achieved his goal, Shaun stood up to leave.

Charleston suddenly felt a little guilty. He quickly said, “Mr. Handley! There’s one more thing. I hope you can let Lota off! Don’t hurt her!”

Shaun turned and gave a strange smile. “Hehe, I watched Lota grow up. I love her more than anyone else. You should take care of your own family. You don’t have to worry about mine! Goodbye!”

With that, Shaun turned and left.
