Even today, the name Bruce Wade evokes a deep sigh from many middle-aged members of the Eastcliff family.


    For these prominent families, no asset is more valuable than a strong heir who can forge ahead with confidence.


    Shopping malls operate like battlegrounds; a minor misstep can lead to the downfall of an entire empire. This is why numerous families experience dramatic rises and falls, with some even altering the course of history.


    In the pursuit of prosperity, it’s not the amount of wealth ornd a family possesses that matters most. Rather, it’s whether their descendants can continue to thrive and seed.


    The current sess of the Wade family is deeply rooted in the solid foundation established by Bruce two decades ago.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    This is why Bruce Wade is fondly remembered, regarded as a guiding star in the hearts of many.


    Charlie was taken aback when he saw brothers Hank and Carl kneel before him at the mere mention of their father’s name. Their genuine expressions of respect softened his initial anger, which gradually subsided over a few moments.


    At that moment, Hank turned to his sons, Trevor and Daniel, and urged, “You two, upon realizing the significance of Brother Wade, should kneel and offer your apologies!”


    Trevor quickly grasped the situation. Although he hadn’t heard much about Bruce Wade, he inferred that Charlie was a descendant of the Wade family of Eastcliff.


    While the Sun family and the Wade family are both part of the three prominent Eastcliff families, thetter is undeniably the stronger of the two.


    Some have humorously remarked that the so-called “three major Eastcliff families” are really just “two dragons ying with beads,” where Erlong represents the Wade family and the Banks family, and the Sun family merely ys a supporting role.


    The Wade family’s influence far surpasses that of the Sun family.


    Even if Orrin, Hank, and Carl united, they would still fall short against the Wade family.<fnb624> The rightful source is f?ndnovel</fnb624>


    Moreover, with Orrin, the head of the Sun family, aligning himself with Charlie at this moment, it meant that Hank and Carl were not just contending with the Wade family, but also facing a significant faction of the Sun family!


    Given Orrin’s apparent recovery, if it came to a power struggle, the younger brothers wouldn’t stand a chance against him, let alone against the Wade family.


    Recognizing this, Trevor wasted no time. He approached his father Hank, knelt on one knee, and earnestly stated, “Mr. Wade, please forgive my ignorance; I was unaware!”


    Although Daniel wasn’t as quick-witted as Trevor, he understood the gravity of the situation. He followed suit, kneeling and respectfully echoing, “Mr. Wade, please pardon my ignorance!”


    Charlie nodded slightly and replied coldly, “For your show of respect towards my father, I won’t hold your previous insults against you—at least for now.”


    A collective sigh of relief escaped the four of them.


    However, Charlie quickly added, “That said, your brothers tried to undermine Uncle Orrin, spreading rumors about his illness and inciting directors to usurp power on the board. You need to provide a clear resolution for Uncle Orrin, or I will not let this matter slide!”


    Hank realized that their power-seeking scheme hadpletely unraveled.


    Not only were they unable to overpower their eldest brother, but they also found themselves at odds with the board of directors. Fighting against their oldest brother while relying solely on themselves was nothing short of a fantasy. The wisest course was to back down and work towards restoring their previous state.


    Therefore, he immediately turned to Orrin, expressing sincerely, “Brother, this situation arose from my own ambition. I acknowledge my mistakes and am prepared to face the consequences. From today onwards, I will abandon all schemes and wholeheartedly support you in managing the Sun Group!”
