As Xion began to understand his origins, Charlie offered a slight smile and responded calmly, “Yes, you could say I belong to the Wade family, or at least I did in the past.”


    Xion paused to think, murmuring, “If you were part of the Wade family before, does that mean you’re no longer associated with them now…”


    With a look of shock, Xion continued, “The Wade family wasn’t initially prosperous. I know every direct descendant well. If you’re not currently part of the Wade family, then your likelihood is…”


    Just as the thought was about to escape her lips, Xion froze in shock, unable to finish her sentence!


    Staring at Charlie in disbelief, she eximed, “Among the direct descendants of the Wade family, there was only Bruce, who passed away over 20 years ago. Could it be… are you his son?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie’s expression tightened as he replied earnestly, “Yes, I am Bruce’s son, Charlie!”


    “Oh my gosh!”


    At that moment, it felt as if Xion had been struck by lightning.


    Although Bruce had died before she was born, his name was still well-known to her.


    She was also aware of the history between her father, Zayne, and Bruce. It was clear to her that Bruce was Zayne’s greatest rival throughout his life, and that Bruce had dealt Zayne some of his most significant blows.


    In Eastcliff, whenever someone mentioned Bruce, it was always with admiration and praise. In contrast, discussions about Zayne were often tinged with regret, with manymenting that Zayne simply lived in the shadow of Bruce’s brilliance.


    The contrast between these two men could be aptly described by the concept of yin and yang.


    Xion recognized that her father had not only been overshadowed by Bruce but also faced the additional pain of knowing that his own wife was one of Bruce’s most devoted admirers.


    While her father struggled to win her affection, his wife was hopelessly in love with Bruce. An ancient poem perfectly encapstes Zayne’s plight: “I turned my heart to the moon, but the moon shines on the ditch.”<fn3b8a> For more chapters visit ?ovelFind</fn3b8a>


    This phrase illustrates how Zayne’s wife had desperately pursued Bruce, only to settle for Zayne out of despair. Consequently, Zayne lived perpetually in Bruce’s shadow. It was clear that Bruce was the person Zayne despised most throughout his life. Xion understood these past events perfectly, yet she never imagined she would one day meet the son of Bruce.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
