In the afternoon, An Qishan made a discreet trip to Eastcliff, apanied by his eldest son, Asher, and his second son, Hom, along with Sun Zhidong (Meir).


    Meanwhile, Charlie chose not to return immediately to Tang Chen Yipin’s residence. Instead, he went to his adjacent vi and called Hong Tianshi, also known as Hong Changqing, who was responsible for martial arts instruction in the area. He asked him to inform Isaac Cameron and Don Albert toe over for a meeting.


    Initially, Charlie felt a pang of concern that Isaac Cameron might inexplicably vanish.


    After all, Stephen Thompson, the chief steward of the Wade family, had other interests at y. As the representative of the Wade family in Aurous Hill and a direct subordinate to Stephen, Isaac Cameron was likely under someone else’s influence.<fn8b8e> ???? ????s? ???????s ?? fin?novel</fn8b8e>


    Fortunately, Isaac Cameron was still present at the Champs Elysées.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    When Charlieid eyes on him, he felt a sense of relief wash over him.


    However, he couldn’t shake off a feeling of disappointment regarding Stephen Thompson’s loyalty.


    On one hand, Stephen had been his father’s most devoted aide. Although he wasn’t officially bound to the Wade family, his actions had created a subtle rift in Charlie’s perception. On the other hand, Charlie had always ced his unwavering trust in Stephen, appreciating the protection he had offered throughout the years. When Stephen hade to Aurous Hill to meet him, he had done so with continuous support.


    Yet, it was only today that Charlie realized Stephen was not truly working for the Wade family or for him. Naturally, this revtion stung.


    What troubled Charlie most now was the possibility of other individuals around him operating like Stephen, and he feared that a mysterious figure had been strategically nting spies in his vicinity.


    Isaac Cameron and Don Albert were among the first he had connected with after reiming his identity as the young master of the Wade family, and both had earned his trust. If either of them werepromised, it would be a significant blow to Charlie.


    After a little over ten minutes, Isaac Cameron and Don Albert, who had been practicing martial arts, jogged to Charlie’s vi.


    Upon entering, Isaac Cameron respectfully greeted him, saying, “Master, when did you return? Why didn’t you let us know?”


    Don Albert quickly added, “Yes, Master Wade! If you had informed us, we could have picked you up at the airport!”


    Charlie smiled slightly, waving his hand dismissively. “I’m only here for a day and will be leaving tonight, so I didn’t notify anyone.”


    Curious, Isaac Cameron asked, “Master, where are you heading off to in such a hurry?”


    “I’m going to America,” Charlie replied casually. He then inquired, “Old Isaac, how much do you know about Butler?” As he spoke, Charlie subtly channeled some spiritual energy, providing Isaac with a psychological cue to answer truthfully.


    “Butler?” Isaac Cameron didn’t sense anything unusual. He thought for a moment and replied, “Young Master, while Butler is my direct superior, there are representatives of the Wade family across various provinces and municipalities, as well as overseas. I’m just one of many spokespersons. In the past, I could only meet Butler during the annual work report meeting, so my interaction with him has been limited.”


    Charlie nodded slightly, realizing that Isaac Cameron and Stephen Thompson were not aligned.


    Using the same technique, Charlie turned to Don Albert and asked, “Don Albert, did you know Stephen Thompson before you met me?”


    “No…” Don Albert shook his head vigorously, chuckling at himself. “Master Wade, I didn’t know you before we met. I was just a young man with a bit of a reputation in Aurous Hill. I can’tpare to Mr. Isaac, let alone the chief butler of the Wade family…”
