“In the next life, I worry that someone from the Wade family may pose a disadvantage to you. The old man is quite advanced in age and may not be able to fully protect you once you are back among the Wade family members. That’s why I made the decision to settle you in Aurous Hill and keep your informationpletely concealed. When Orrin Sun from the Sun family came to visit, I ensured he was unaware of your presence here.”
Charlie inquired further, “Then why did you reach out to me recently?”
Stephen Thompson replied sincerely, “Master, I must tell you that the master’s health has been deteriorating over the past two years. He is dissatisfied with the current state of the Wade family, where the sons seem unambitious and he is reluctant to pass control over to them. When I informed him that you were still alive, he was overjoyed. I want to prepare you to be the heir. The Emgrand Group and the 10 billion are just part of your training. When you’re ready to return, the Wade family’s vast wealth may be yours. I will support you in this journey!”
Charlie responded calmly, “I understand, Steward Thompson, but I’ve held a grudge against you for many years.”
Stephen Thompson hurriedly replied, “Master, I am truly ashamed! Your father was incredibly kind to me, and I would never want to bring him any disappointment, no matter the cost!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Charlie expressed his thoughts, “I’m not interested in the Wade family’s assets, but I will uncover the truth behind my parents’ deaths when the time is right. There will be a reckoning, and justice will be served.”
Stephen Thompson was visibly moved and said with a quiver in his voice, “Master! With your resolve, you will achieve it! You are now the supreme leader of Aurous Hill, a true dragon among men. I believe your strength will allow you to take revenge on the second son and the second wife!”
At this moment, Stephen Thompson was overwhelmed with emotion and tears streamed down his face.
Back in the day, Stephen Thompson hadn’t yet be the butler of the Wade family. He was an assistant to Charlie’s father. Unfortunately, he was misled by friends and ended up in Macau, losing his fortune at the gambling tables.
This experience led Stephen Thompson down a dark path as he became apulsive gambler, borrowing from loan sharks in a desperate attempt to win back his losses, but he only sank deeper into debt.
Ultimately, he lost everything and found himself pursued by loan sharks. In his desperation, he even resorted to desperate measures in the casino, leading to further losses.
ording to Macau’s gambling rules, one must ept losses, and many gamblers were left to beg on the streets nearby, having lost everything to their addiction.
Despite this, those gamblers still held on to hope, trying to save a little money to return to the casino, even though their lives were in ruins.
Stephen Thompson was nearly at that low point himself.
Fortunately, Charlie’s father intervened, paying tens of millions to rescue him from the casino and demanding that he swear never to gamble again.
To ensure he stayed away from gambling for good, Charlie’s father promoted him to personal butler, keeping him close and preventing any further temptations.
From that point on, Stephen Thompson woke up to reality and dedicated himself to assisting Charlie’s father. He not only supported him wholeheartedly but also gained invaluable experience in management and development, quickly bing one of the most capable servants in the Wade family.
Eventually, Charlie’s grandfather recognized his talents and intended to elevate him to the steward of the entire Wade family. However, Stephen Thompson initially hesitated, but Charlie’s father insisted he ept the role.
ording to Charlie’s father, Stephen Thompson had proven his worth and should not limit himself to being just a personal butler, as there were greater opportunities ahead for him.
In his eyes, being the housekeeper of the Wade family was the highest position an outsider could achieve, and he wanted Stephen Thompson to secure this chance for himself, avoiding any regrets.
Even though Stephen Thompson was no longer Charlie’s father’s personal butler, his loyalty only grew, and he began to view Charlie’s father as a figure to respect and assist throughout his life.
Sadly, Charlie’s father passed away too soon, leaving Stephen Thompson with immense guilt.
He often thought that if he had continued as Charlie’s father’s personal butler, perhaps he could have protected Charlie’s parents from their tragic fate.
If only he could have intervened at a critical moment, maybe they would have had a chance to survive…<fn446b> Latest content published on Find[?]ovel</fn446b>
