Lord Wade readily agreed, stating, “The doctor has always advised me against drinking, but today I must indulge in a few drinks!”


    A crowd gathered around the three elderly men as they entered the vi. Therge dining table in the restaurant was alreadyden with an abundance of food. An Qishan guided Lord Wade to sit beside him, then rose to pour a ss of wine for both of them. He also encouraged several children and Charlie Wade, saying, “You should all join me tonight for a couple of drinks.”


    Upon hearing this, Charlie Wade stood up and poured wine for his three uncles, his aunt, and Li Yalin.


    With a sense of guilt, An Qishan raised his wine ss and addressed Lord Wade: “Brother Wade, the An family has neglected you greatly over the years. We have made many mistakes, and I sincerely apologize to you on behalf of the An family. Please don’t hold it against us!”


    Lord Wade understood An Qishan’s sentiments. He was aware that the An family had been resentful towards him for years. He recalled a significant overseas meeting where he encountered Hom, a junior member of the family, who had shown him no respect.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    However, Lord Wade had always dealt with people fairly. He recognized that the An family’s dissatisfaction stemmed from the loss of Lydia (Ava), Charlie’s mother, after her marriage into the Wade family. Even the most reasonable individuals could harbor resentment, especially when it came to Lydia, the eldest daughter of the An family and their shining star. Her untimely death was a profound loss that affected her loving parents and her siblings, who idolized her.<fnab7c> Get full chapters from fin?novel</fnab7c>


    Thus, he raised his ss and spoke earnestly: “In my life, I have harbored hatred towards many, and I have med numerous people, but the An family is not among them. The events surrounding Lydia (Ava) and Bruce urred in Aurous Hill, and it is the duty of the Wade family to protect their own. It is only natural for you to ce me on me.”


    He continued, “Had Bruce’s tragedy urred in the United States and I remained unaware of the details, I would certainly have med the An family.” As these words left his lips, a wave of loneliness washed over Lord Wade, and he murmured, “All these years, I have traveled far and wide, yet I have not returned to Aurous Hill. This is my first visit since Bruce and Lydia (Ava) wereid to rest.”


    An Qishan responded with sadness, sighing and nodding, “Indeed! I once couldn’t bear to hear the name Aurous Hill. However, when I realized that Charlie had been living here for so long, my feelings about Aurous Hill began to soften.”


    Lord Wade nodded and remarked, “Thanks to Charlie, I finally learned who was responsible for the deaths of Bruce and Lydia (Ava).”


    Suddenly, a thought struck Lord Wade, and he turned to An Qishan: “Charlie has grown incredibly powerful; perhaps we will witness him eliminate that despicable Qinghui!”


    An Qishan replied seriously, “The moment I recognized Charlie’s potential, I made amitment. The sole mission of the An family now is to support Charlie in eradicating the Poqing Society and avenging Bruce and Lydia (Ava). We are willing to sacrifice everything for this cause!”


    Lord Wade agreed, stating, “The same goes for the Wade family. I have already passed leadership of the Wade family to Charlie. Now, he leads everything. If we can eliminate the Poqing Society, what does it matter if the Wade family goes bankrupt?”


    An Qishan concurred, saying, “Brother Wade is correct. Revenge is what the An family desires most at this moment. All the An family’s resources are at Charlie’s disposal. Between our two families and Charlie’s exceptional talents, eliminating the Poqing Society will be a walk in the park!”


    As he spoke, he looked at Charlie Wade sincerely and added, “Charlie, if my grandfather does not live to see the day you eradicate the Poqing Society, please make sure to visit my grave and tell me the news when everything is settled!”


    Charlie Wade, who had remained quiet until now, replied, “Grandpa, rest assured, you will witness the downfall of the Poqing Society! Soon, I will take the initiative against them. I will dismantle their power piece by piece and confront Sara myself. Once everything is resolved, we will visit Yeling Mountain together and share this good news with my parents. They will be pleased to know it in the afterlife!”
