    Throughout the years, the tension between the Wade family and the An family primarily stemmed from escting misunderstandings.


    Initially, Charlie Wade’s father, Bruce, became a target of the Poqing Society. In an effort to protect his family, he made a conscious decision to oppose the Rothschild family.


    This enmity ced immense pressure on the Wade family, ultimatelypelling Lord Wade to expel Bruce from the family.


    At first, Lord Wade was unaware that his cherished second son was in grave danger. He believed that the Wade family stood to gain nothing by opposing the Rothschilds and that such hostility would severely hinder the family’s future international endeavors.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    To demonstrate goodwill to the Rothschild family and convey hisck of intent to be their adversary, Lord Wade decided to remove Bruce from their home.


    In his heart, he thought that expelling Bruce was merely a temporary measure; this way, Bruce would be unable to utilize the Wade family’s resources against the Rothschild family, while also appeasing the Rothschilds.


    Lord Wade believed that the rtionship between the Wade and Rothschild families was merely one ofmercial rivalry, and he assumed it would never escte into a serious conflict that could lead to harm.


    To put it another way, this was akin to apetitive scenario between two standardpanies. To show sincerity, the chairman might dismiss the CEO; in such instances, the dismissed CEO would simply face unemployment for a while, without the concern of being assassinated by the rivalpany.


    Thus, when Bruce decided to leave Eastcliff with his family for Aurous Hill, Lord Wade did not foresee that Aurous Hill would be the final resting ce for his son. In fact, he thought Bruce was perhaps overreacting and that a trip to Aurous Hill could serve as a chance for rxation and personal growth.


    Little did he know that what he envisioned as a peaceful getaway would mark the beginning of an estrangement between father and son.


    Neither the Wade family nor the An family realized that Lydia (Ava), Charlie’s mother, had survived Bruce’s careful nning. When the tragic news reached both families, Lord Wade expressed deep regret,menting his decision, while the An family harbored resentment toward him.


    The An family believed that Lord Wade’s expulsion of Bruce and his family directly led to the death of their daughter, Lydia (Ava), abroad, and the disappearance of their grandson, Charlie Wade. It wasn’t until Charlie appeared that both families grasped the truth. In reality, Bruce’s death was not a result of Lord Wade’s actions; rather, Bruce and Lydia (Ava) chose to oppose the Rothschild family to protect both families, which led to their expulsion from the Wade household.<fndb79> Th?s chapter is updated by fι?dnοvel</fndb79>


    This entire scenario was orchestrated by Bruce and Lydia (Ava). Lord Wade was merely a pawn in their borate n, a role he unwittingly yed for two decades. Once the An family became aware of this, their resentment towards Lord Wade dissipated.


    In truth, after discovering the full story, the An family not only ceased their animosity towards Lord Wade but also felt guilty for holding a grudge against him for so many years.


    On this day, Lord Wade arrived in Aurous Hill. An Qishan was determined to gather his entire family to wee him at the airport, but Charlie Wade chose to forgo this n, citing the need for discretion regarding the An family’s collective appearance.


    Nevertheless, even though An Qishan did not attend the airport, he had ensured that his wife and children prepared extensively at home. The family had organized avish dinner, eagerly awaiting Charlie Wade’s return with Lord Wade.


    As this was intended to be a low-profile visit, Lord Wade traveled without any entourage. Charlie Wade drove an unassuming BMW sedan to collect his grandfather from the airport, and together they headed straight to the Champs Elysees Hot Spring Vi located in the suburbs.
