Upon hearing Charlie’s question, Stephen gave a bitter smile and replied somberly, “Master, many people in this worldck gratitude. They tend to rely on others only when they need assistance and will enjoy the benefits thate with it. Once those needs are met, they quickly turn their backs and evenin that others have overshadowed them.”


    With deep emotion, Stephen continued, “You may not know this, but during that time, your father was leading them alongside Ross. When the Rothschild family was at their most aggressive, these same people were excessively ttering, even forming the Eastcliff business alliance and electing your father as its first chairman.”


    Charlie clenched his fists, his face flushed with rage as he thundered, “These people are beyond outrageous!”


    Stephen sighed, “Ah, Master, it’s best to look forward and not dwell on the past. In every prominent family in Eastcliff, this kind of behavior is rampant! Back then, your father was hailed as a hero for opposing the Rothschilds, only to be the target of envy and nder from those he once helped. Your father was simply too exceptional!”<fn759d> Latest content published on Find~Novel</fn759d><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    As he spoke, Stephen paused briefly before adding, “The saying goes, ‘The wood is beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy it.’ This holds true for your father; his brilliance made him a target for the entire Eastcliffmunity.”


    Stephen’s tone grew more intense as he continued, “Seeing him be a target for public criticism, the Rothschilds seized the opportunity to make aeback. They cunningly dered that they had personal grievances with your father and the Wade family, allowing the other aristocratic families to sit back and watch the chaos unfold!”


    Stephen’s voice brimmed with anger as he recounted, “The old man realized the Wade family was about to be the sole target of the Rothschilds, with many families in Eastcliff ready to stab your father in the back. In a desperate move, he expelled your father from the Wade family and publicly denounced any association, forcing your father to take you and your mother away from Eastcliff to Aurous Hill.”


    Charlie’s expression darkened as he gritted his teeth, stating, “This was a betrayal by the entire Eastcliff family against the Wade family, and ultimately, the Wade family chose to betray my father, pushing him out as a scapegoat. Our family of three bore the brunt of the Rothschilds’ wrath.”


    Stephen nodded slowly, his eyes glistening with emotion, “That is indeed how it happened.”


    With a steely gaze, Charlie dered coldly, “They are nothing but a group of scoundrels who cross bridges only to burn them. I swear by my name, Charlie, that everyst one of them will pay for their actions!”


    Concerned, Stephen quickly interjected, “Master, please don’t act impulsively! Back then, aside from the Sun family, all other families participated in the betrayal. From the prosperous Banks Family to smaller families barely worth 10 billion, they all turned against your father. You must avoid making them your enemies!”


    Charlie replied with determination, “I am not one to shy away from conflict. These individuals, including the Wade family, are all aplices in the betrayal of my parents. I will not let them off the hook easily!”


    After saying this, he turned to Stephen and added seriously, “Steward Thompson, you need not worry too much. I am not reckless. When I am low on strength, I won’t directly confront the major families of Eastcliff. Instead, I will conserve my energy and strike when they least expect it!”


    Stephen let out a light sigh and nodded, “Master, it’s not just about avenging the second master and the second wife. I have long anticipated this day. If you need anything, I will go through fire and water for you!”


    Charlie nodded in response, “Steward Thompson, if I require your assistance, I will certainly let you know.” </p"however,>
