Lydia (Ava), known as Charlie’s mom, understood deeply that the joys and sorrows of people often fail to resonate with one another.


    When individuals find themselves in simr circumstances, they may share in both joy and sorrow. However, if one person reaches a goal first, those left behind can feel increasingly isted.


    For instance, if Gao Youruo from high school had faced the college entrance examination alongside her peers, the shared experience would have provided a sense offort. But if others awaited their university eptance while only one managed to board the train to work in the south at the end of August, that person, despite feeling happy for his friends, would inevitably battle loneliness and despair.


    This individual would not only lose the chance to study but also the emotional sce thates from shared experiences.


    Lydia (Ava) had been burdened by two pressing concerns for two decades. One was how, in the future, she would exin to her son the time she had missed from his life. The other revolved around how to address her father-inw, Lord Wade, and exin that his son Bruce was long gone while she remained alive.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    The thought of this brought her pain. The solitude she endured for twenty years felt anything but fortunate; it was a continuous source of suffering.


    Most agonizing was the inability to see her only son for two decades, a torment that felt inhumane.


    Noticing Lydia (Ava)’s sorrowful expression, Sister Sun quickly offered words offort: “Madam, let’s not dwell on these thoughts right now. It’s a positive development that Mr. Wade and your father have reconciled. Besides, resolving the Po Qing Society might take many years. Why worry about what lies ahead?”


    Lydia (Ava) nodded lightly and replied, “Although the Po Qing Society has lost four earls, it hasn’t significantly impacted the organization. Charlie will face even more challenges ahead. Last time, Lin Wan’er mentioned he approached the Rothschild family for a cutting-edge AI model. I believe he aims to take the initiative.”


    Sister Sun inquired, “Madam, should we share some of our insights with the young master?”


    Lydia (Ava) contemted for a moment before waving her hand and responding, “Let Charlie proceed at his own pace. We don’t have extensive knowledge about the Po Qing Society. Providing him with our limited clues might lead to confusion and disrupt his judgment. We’ll keep a watchful eye on him. If he heads to a ce we’re familiar with, we can then decide whether to offer him any information.”


    As she spoke, Lydia (Ava) added with a hint of self-deprecation, “In reality, over the years, we haven’t created any significant troubles for the Po Qing Society. The disparity in our strengths is vast. It’s fortunate that they haven’t discovered us. If Charlie hadn’t had such luck, I might have been forced to hide from Sara indefinitely. Lin Wan’er and I have shared simr experiences; however, her ordealsted far longer than mine—she hid from Sara for over three hundred years, while I’ve managed for just twenty.”


    Sister Sun nodded in understanding, saying, “Madam, the young master is making remarkable progress. I believe it’s only a matter of time before he dismantles the entire Po Qing Society and eliminates Sara.”


    Lydia (Ava) responded with a somber tone, “For Lin Wan’er and me, Sara represents our greatest adversary, but for Charlie, she is merely the beginning. His most significant challenge lies ahead in the Ten Thousand Mountains…”


    …


    Meanwhile, Charlie Wade, in Aurous Hill, and his mother Lydia (Ava) in distant Putuo Mountain, both found themselves awake throughout the night.


    When ire awoke, she noticed Charlie lying beside her with his eyes open and instinctively asked, “Hubby, when did you wake up?”<fnb2e6> This text is hosted at f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fnb2e6>


    Charlie, lost in thought, hadn’t realized ire had awakened. He snapped back to reality at her voice and quickly replied, “I just woke up a little while ago and am still a bit dazed.”


    ire expressed concern, asking, “Didn’t you sleep wellst night?”


    “Not really,” Charlie smiled and admitted, “I might have gotten up a bit too early. I had some drinks with my clientsst night, and my mind hasn’t cleared yet.”
