With that, Fang Jiaxin’s eyes filled with tears, and they began to roll down her cheeks like tiny beads.


    At that moment, Arman felt a wave of unbearable emotion. He turned to Charlie and implored, “Master Wade… I acknowledge my part in what happened back then… so…”


    Charlie raised his hand to cut him off, speaking sincerely: “Uncle Arman, I’m here to seek answers for my father. I believe that any honest individual would uphold theirmitments, even if the other party is no longer alive!”


    As he continued, Charlie fixed his gaze on Liu Jiahui and said coldly, “Even though my father has passed, as his son, I carry his debts. If he owes something, I intend to pay it back. What others owe him, I will also settle!”<fn3c09> Follow current nov?ls on ?ovelFind</fn3c09>


    Hearing this, Liu Jiahui was gripped by panic, his body shaking uncontrobly.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    His reluctance to honor the agreement made with Bruce Wade stemmed from his belief that both Bruce and his wife, Lydia (Ava) – Charlie’s mother – had been abandoned by both the Wade and An families. He thought the two families would never allow such tragedies to ur if they truly cared.


    It was this belief that led him to disregard the promise entirely.


    Many individuals appear to make grand promises, but often they are just empty words. They might boast in front of those they fear offending, yet act like scoundrels towards those they deem insignificant.


    Liu Jiahui exemplified this type of character.


    He lived by a ssic motto: never cultivate useless rtionships.


    When someone ceased to be of value to him, no matter how long they had known each other, they became irrelevant in his eyes.


    Conversely, if someone proved useful to him, he would go to great lengths to cultivate that rtionship, even if it meant aligning with his father’s enemies.


    It was precisely this mercenary mindset that led him to retract his original promise after Bruce Wade’s death.


    For a long time, Liu Jiahui took pride in his worldview, believing he was truly wise. Little did he know that he would find himself in such a predicament today.


    With palpable fear, he pleaded, “Mr. Wade, I was truly misguided and failed to honor the agreement with your father. I recognize my wrongdoings now. Please allow me a chance to make amends!”


    Charlie regarded him and asked calmly, “What do you propose to do to make amends?”


    Liu Jiahui quickly responded, “I promised your father that I would not pursue the actions of Arman from back then. Now that I understand my mistakes, I vow to uphold that promise and ensure Arman is never embarrassed because of this!”


    Charlieughed derisively, saying, “Mr. Liu, I came to Hong Kong Ind to discuss three matters. First, you’ve had over 20 years to reflect. You im you’ll correct your mistakes now that you’ve found me, but how does that provide my father with the exnation he deserves for the past two decades?”


    He continued, “Secondly, Uncle Arman was once a leading talent in finance. Because of your disbelief, Liu Jiahui, he was forced to move to the United States and spent thest 20 years selling roast goose in Chinatown. How do you n to exin those lost years to him?”


    Charlie pressed on, “Lastly, for the past 20 years, Uncle Arman has been unable to return to Hong Kong Ind to reunite with his family. My parents were devoted, yet my father passed away without my presence at his funeral. Families have been torn apart during these years; how do you n to ount for that?”
