The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5289

In both ancient and modern times, many members of the royal family and heirs to wealthy families had long gotten used to betraying and turning their backs on one another because of their own interests.

Jaime was still kneeling on the ground, and tears were streaming down his face as he said in an incomparably firm voice, “I disregarded my mother and sister’s lives and only cared about my own future. That was utterly inhumane and unrighteous, and I was being too disloyal and unfilial!”

Helen said seriously, “I understand what you’re saying, but you couldn’t help it either. I don’t blame you.”

Jaime continued in a loud voice, “If I was wrong, I was wrong! Saying that I couldn’t have helped it is nothing more than an excuse! I could have chosen to stand with my mother and sister and seek justice for you, but instead, I made the wrong choice to disregard your lives and only care about my own self-interest!”

Helen was silent for a moment. She then sighed softly and said earnestly, “Okay, you were wrong, but I’m already very relieved that you’ve realized that what you did was wrong now. Being able to distinguish right from wrong now means that you’re also worthy of your middle name, Adel.”

After saying that, Helen added, “Jaime, now that you’re finally back, your time here is limited, so you can’t keep kneeling here the whole time. I’ve already filled the water in the bathtub for you, so you should take a bath first before accompanying me and your sister for a family meal together. The three of us should have a good chat.”

Sophie, who was aside, also came forward and persuaded, “That’s right, Brother, it’s not easy for you to come back this time, so you should spend more time with Mom instead of kneeling here.”

Jaime wiped his tears away, stood up, and followed behind his mother to enter the mansion that Charlie used to live in when he was young.

Helen led him to the bathroom directly, where the bathtub was already filled with water and the toiletries and clean clothes were placed aside neatly.

Helen said to him, “Jaime, I prepared new clothes for you as well as toiletries and a razor, but there’s nothing for you to cut your hair. I think your hair is already quite long, so why don’t you go out to a barber shop to get a haircut later?”
