    Corran listened to the old man’s words and replied, somewhat bashfully, “Dad,st time you mentioned wanting to engage with the Banks Family and make Zara the Wade family’s daughter-inw, but there aren’t any suitable candidates!”


    Lord Wade responded casually, “Didn’t you mention before that Bruce’s son would be a good option?”


    Corran countered, “But Stephen Thompson also said that Bruce’s son is hesitant to return and acknowledge his heritage. Furthermore, he might harbor resentment towards us.”


    William interjected, “He might dislike us, or he might not. I believe he would at least consider the proposal.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Myles quickly asked, “Dad, are you suggesting that we should find Bruce’s son and bring him back into the family?”


    Lord Wade confirmed, “Yes, I want to, but I still haven’t figured out the best approach.”


    Feeling uneasy, Corran quickly added, “Dad, Bruce’s son has been away for many years and ispletely unpredictable! Please reconsider!”


    Lord Wade waved his hand dismissively, “You don’t need to try to sway me. When I bought the Emgrand Group as a gift, I consulted Stephen Thompson. He actually agreed that Bruce’s son would eventually return to the family. We don’t have many male heirs, unlike the Banks family, which has many branches.”


    Corran held his breath but managed to ask calmly, “Dad, what if Bruce’s son doesn’t want to return?”


    Lord Wade replied solemnly, “People can change, and I don’t want to dwell on that today. When he returns, perhaps he’ll be more inclined. If not tomorrow, then maybe in a year, two years, three years, or even ten years; eventually, he may reconsider and be more open to it!”


    Corran, Myles, and William all silently cursed to themselves. The greatest fear regarding family assets is scarcity. Whether it’s ten thousand dors or one trillion, having one heir, two, or three can lead to vastly different oues.


    Initially, purchasing the Emgrand Group for Charlie cost the family 100 billion, along with an additional 10 billion in cash, which left everyone feeling uneasy.


    After all, following their father’s death, when the estate was divided, that 10 billion meant that each of the three sons would have received at least 30 billion, but now that amount was lost.<fn2848> This update is avable on find·novel</fn2848>


    Consequently, they were all quite anxious about the prospect of Charlie returning to the Wade family.


    Lord Wade, however, was not focused on his sons or grandchildren but rather on his daughter, Cynthia Wade.


    He sighed and said, “Cynthia, the New Year is approaching.” Cynthia quickly stood up and replied, “Dad, please don’t hesitate to share your thoughts; I will give it my all.”


    Lord Wade nodded and instructed, “You will go to Aurous Hill tomorrow, meet with Charlie, and have a proper conversation with him. Ask if he would be willing to return. If he shows interest, please invite him to spend the year with us.”


    Cynthia Wade responded eagerly, “Alright, Dad, I’ll head to Aurous Hill tomorrow.” Then she paused and asked, “Dad, Charlie is already married. If he wants to return, should he bring his wife along?”


    Lord Wade waved his hand in annoyance, “How could a woman from a third-rate city and a third-rate family be deemed worthy of entering the Wade family mansion? If Charlie returns, the first thing he must do is divorce her, and then we’ll arrange for him to meet Zara to explore any possible future together.”


    “Understood!” Cynthia Wade nodded, saying, “I will approach Charlie first and let him consider these matters step by step!”


    Lord Wade smiled with satisfaction, “I leave this in your capable hands!”
