“That’s wonderful!” Lord Wade beamed with joy.


    He had always been fond of Stefanie sun, having watched her grow up. During the years when charlie Wade was missing, even after he had given up hope of finding his grandson, Stefanie sun never did. She had been a little girl back then, yet her devotion and unwavering loyalty touched his heart deeply.


    More importantly, when the Ten Thousand Dragons Pce attacked Yeling Mountain, the Sun family knew the Wade family was powerless to resist, yet they still stood firmly by their side. That kind of loyalty was truly priceless.


    The old man knew he couldn’t make decisions for charlie Wade, but if he could, he would have already arranged for him to marry Stefanie sun without hesitation.


    At the Sun residence, charlie Wade gifted the sun couple two Rejuvenation Pills. This gesture left them feeling too embarrassed to bring up the engagement in front of the old man, which, in turn, eased the pressure on charlie Wade and allowed him to feel more at ease.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Meanwhile, Aunt Cynthia Wade carefully prepared the tea set and tea leaves, personally brewing a pot of top-quality Jin Jun Mei tea for everyone.


    As they sipped their tea and chatted, the conversation never veered toward the engagement.


    Beyond his concerns about the marriage arrangement, the old man was also deeply interested in thetest developments regarding the Poqing Society.


    Turning to charlie Wade, he asked for updates on the situation.


    charlie Wade gave a brief summary before suddenly thinking of Stephen Thompson. He asked, “Grandpa, has there been any news about Butler Tang recently?”<fn0f2b> For more chapters visit FιndＮovel</fn0f2b>


    “None at all,” Lord Wade sighed. “Since that day, Si Hai seems to have vanished without a trace. I’ve tried every possible way to locate him, but there’s been no news.”


    charlie Wade felt a pang of regret and said thoughtfully, “I don’t know what secret Stephen Thompson is hiding that would force him to leave without saying goodbye. But I believe, without a doubt, that he harbors no ill will toward me or the Wade family.”


    Orrin sun frowned in confusion. “Why would Sihai leave? Logically speaking, charlie needs support now more than ever. He’s served the Wade family for years, knows its affairs inside and out, and has managed its business with great skill. I admire both his ability and character. If he had stayed by charlie’s side as a right-hand man, he would have been invaluable. There’s really no reason for him to disappear so suddenly and sopletely.”


    charlie Wade nodded, deep in thought. “I’ve always had a feeling that, despite his years of dedicated service to the Wade family, Stephen Thompson wasn’t actually working for the Wade family directly.”


    Orrin sun raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “charlie, what do you mean by that? Have you discovered something?”


    charlie Wade exined, “My father’s photo album appeared out of nowhere before. I believe Stephen Thompson deliberately ced it there for me to find, as a way of leading me toward certain clues. And right after that, he disappeared. If he had truly been working for the Wade family, there would have been no need for him to vanish. If he was loyal to my father, then it’s unlikely my father could have foreseen events 20 years in the future. Someone must have given him a specific order—one that led him to act this way.”


    Orrin sun asked skeptically, “If Butler Tang had other motives and managed to hide them for so many years, why wouldn’t he just continue doing so? By disappearing without a word, isn’t he essentially exposing himself?”


    charlie Wade sighed.


    There were certain things he couldn’t exin to Orrin sun in too much detail.


    For instance, Orrin sun was unaware of his ability to imnt psychological suggestions—an ability that could alter a person’s mindset and even reshape their self-perception.


    The real reason Stephen Thompson vanished right after the appearance of the photo album was that he feared charlie Wade would uncover the truth by pressing further. Knowing he couldn’t resist charlie Wade’s psychological influence, he chose to disappear entirely, eliminating any risk of exposure.


    At that moment, Lord Wade turned to charlie Wade and asked, “charlie, do you think we should arrange for people worldwide to search for Stephen Thompson’s whereabouts? Hongqiao, now that you also have an AI model,bining both resources should make tracking him down much easier.”


    charlie Wade waved his hand dismissively. “Forget it. I know Stephen Thompson means me no harm. If he has secrets he believes I shouldn’t uncover, there’s no need for me to force the issue.”
