Twenty years ago, a vivid montage of memories shed through her mind…


    At that moment, the ne had just reached the hangar adjacent to the secluded stand at Eastcliff Airport.


    As the aircraft approached within a hundred meters of the hangar, the doors began to open slowly, sliding to the left and right. Inside, three private jets of the same model were stationed, alongside several discreet Hongqi H9 vehicles. A group of staff d in maintenance uniforms had been waiting here for quite some time.


    Initially, Lydia (Ava), who is Charlie’s mother, intended toplete the aircraft transfer here before heading south to Aurous Hill.


    However, due to Charlie’s unexpected alteration of her flight ns, she arrived in Eastcliff instead. Upon disembarking, Lydia (Ava) stepped directly into one of the red g cars. The motorcade swiftly exited the hangar, took the VIP route out of the airport, and made its way directly to Yonghe Temple.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Yonghe Temple, known for its rich history, is the most frequented temple in Eastcliff.


    Lydia (Ava) has an exclusive courtyard within the temple grounds.


    She requested that Stephen Thompsone to meet her at Yonghe Pce and pointed out this very mansion.


    As the ancients have said, a small person hides in the wild while a great person hides in the city. Little did anyone suspect that Lydia (Ava), Charlie’s mother, resided in the most visited temple right in the heart of the city.


    Upon Lydia (Ava)’s arrival, Stephen Thompson was already there, waiting in the central hall of the courtyard.


    Seeing Lydia (Ava) enter alongside the false teacher, he hurried to the entrance and respectfully greeted, “Madam, Sister Sun!”


    Lydia (Ava) nodded slightly, gesturing to a chair in the hall as she instructed him, “Please, sit down.”


    “Thank you, Madam,” Stephen Thompson replied, bowing.


    Lydia (Ava) took her seat in the central hall, with the faux Master Taiji standing beside her.


    Even though the false teacher wore a hat, Stephen Thompson noticed that she had shaved her head, prompting him to exim in shock, “Sister Sun, what have you…”


    The fake teacher smiled gently, removing her hat, and exined, “I had a guest role as a master at Shiwanda Mountain today.”


    Stephen Thompson quickly inquired, “Sister Sun, did you encounter the young master? Does he still recognize you? We mustn’t raise any suspicions!”


    The fake master shook her head, reassuring him, “Don’t worry, I did not meet the young master directly.”


    “That’s a relief!” Stephen Thompson nodded and then respectfully turned to Lydia (Ava), asking, “By the way, Madam, it’s been a while since you’ve returned to Eastcliff. In the past, you avoided ces where the young master would be. Why have youe to Eastcliff with him today?”


    Lydia (Ava) replied calmly, “I asked Sister Sun to intercept Charlie at Shiwandashan. I initially nned to stop in Eastcliff before heading to Aurous Hill for some matters, but I didn’t anticipate that Charlie would suddenly change his course ande to Eastcliff, so I had to adjust my ns.”


    Surprised, Stephen Thompson asked, “Madam, have you seen what the young master looks like now?”


    “No,” Lydia (Ava) shook her head. “When Charlie and I were closest, we were only two miles apart, but now he has grown so powerful that I fear even to look at him from afar.”


    Stephen Thompson pressed on, “Madam, do you not n to meet the young master?”


    Lydia (Ava) responded solemnly, “It’s not the right time yet. Recently, Wu Feiyan attempted to eliminate the An family twice. She must suspect I’m still alive and might use this as a way to force my hand. If it weren’t for Charlie’s secret assistance during both attempts, I might not have survived. I’ve endured, but I cannot be hasty now.”


    Stephen Thompson asked, “Madam, with the young master’s sudden decision toe to Eastcliff and visit the old house, could he have picked up on something?”


    Lydia (Ava) shook her head again, “I don’t think so. I suspect Charlie is feeling a bit lost at the moment and wants to return to Eastcliff and his old home for some rity.”


    “Madam, what are your intentions during your stay in Eastcliff this time?” Stephen Thompson inquired.


    Lydia (Ava) replied, “I have no specific ns; I just need a favor from you. Before Charlie arrives in Eastcliff, please help me return this to the Ye family’s old house. I will be heading to Aurous Hill early tomorrow morning.” As she spoke, Lydia (Ava) gestured to the false teacher, who nodded slightly.


    The fake teacher promptly retrieved an old-fashioned 16-page photo album from her handbag and handed it to Stephen Thompson.


    Upon receiving the photo album, Stephen Thompson hesitated to open it, instead asking Lydia (Ava), “Do you want me to ce this album back in the old house?”


    “Yes,” Lydia (Ava) affirmed, sighing, “After twenty years, it’s time for Charlie to gradually learn about the past that has long been buried!”<fnba7c> Original content can be found at find[?]ovel</fnba7c>
