Charlie’s question caught Mrs. Lewis off guard, causing her expression to shift dramatically! Panic washed over her as she realized she never expected Charlie to ask such a thing.


    Stammering, she replied, “This… this is something I’ve never encountered before. If someone is genuinely searching for you, we wouldn’t hide that information. Could there be a misunderstanding?”


    Charlie shook his head firmly: “This isn’t a misunderstanding. Deep down, I can’t ept that as an exnation.”


    With a sincere demeanor, he continued, “Mrs. Lewis, I’m not here to confront you. You saved my life and cared for me for ten years. Regardless of the circumstances, I could never harbor hatred towards you without understanding the truth.”<fn367b> For original chapters go to findnovel</fn367b>


    Hearing this, Mrs. Lewis’s face flushed with shame.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie pressed on, “I simply want to understand why, when he arrived here, the orphanage said there was no one like me. If I recall correctly, our orphanage has always hoped that a child’s rtives woulde to take them home. My father’s best friend came looking for me. Why is it that I can’t even obtain my own information? Who is keeping this from him?”


    Mrs. Lewis bit her lip, her gaze darting nervously. She couldn’t meet Charlie’s eyes, let alone respond to his inquiries. Charlie noticed her difort and realized that she must know something important.


    With a serious tone, he asked, “Mrs. Lewis, if my guess is correct, you must know that I am the young master of the Wade family, right?”


    The moment he uttered those words, the pen Mrs. Lewis had been holding ttered to the floor.


    Charlie assumed she would bend down to retrieve it, but instead, she bent at the waist, moved around the table, and suddenly knelt before him with a thud.


    “Mrs. Lewis, what are you doing?” Charlie eximed in surprise.


    With her forehead to the ground, Mrs. Lewismented, “Master, I am… I am so sorry…”


    Hearing her call him “Master” struck Charlie like a bolt of lightning.


    In that instant, it felt as though a tremendous force had hit him in the chest, causing him to instinctively take two steps back, his voice trembling with shock: “Mrs. Lewis… you…”


    With tears streaming down her face, Mrs. Lewis confessed, “Master, I have always known who you are. I am actually a member of the Wade family. However, my status is humble, and I never had the opportunity to serve the Wade family in Eastcliff. The branch of the Wade family I belong to is minor, which is why you never met me before you turned eight…”


    Charlie struggled to remain calm as he asked, “Mrs. Lewis, did the Wade family send you to bring me here?”


    Looking up with tears on her cheeks, Mrs. Lewis replied, “Master, it was Steward Thompson who orchestrated this…”


    Charlie’s eyes widened in shock as he blurted out, “Are you talking about Stephen Thompson?!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
