Stephen Thompson smiled and asked, “Does Madam wade know why?”


    ire replied with a confused expression, “I don’t know… maybe my grandfather admired him a lot, or really liked him? He never told me the exact reason. He only said that if I married charlie, he would never harm me.”


    Stephen Thompson nodded and said with a smile, “If I’m not mistaken, your grandfather’s name was WILSON Deyin, correct? Though ‘De’ means virtue, in this case it’s actually a homophone for ‘getting’ or ‘gain.’ His parents likely gave him that name in the hope that he would escape poverty and live a prosperous life, isn’t that right?”


    ire stared at him in surprise and asked, “How… how do you know that?”


    Stephen Thompson smiled faintly, avoiding her question, and instead asked, “Then, do you know what your grandfather did for a living when he was young?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    ire thought for a moment and said, “He used to say that in his youth, he was a servant in a very wealthy family in Eastcliff. Later, that family gave him a generous severance, and he returned to Aurous Hill to start his own business.”


    Stephen Thompson nodded. “That’s right—your grandfather didn’t lie. And the wealthy family he worked for was none other than the Wade family of Eastcliff.”


    “What?!” ire was stunned. “My grandfather… was a servant of the Wade family?!”


    Stephen Thompson replied, “While the term ‘house ve’ doesn’t sound very nice, it didn’t mean actual very—it referred to a lifelong servant, deeply loyal to the family.”<fna0bd> Find the newest release on f?ndnovel</fna0bd>


    Then, with a slight smile, he added, “But yes, your grandfather truly was a servant of the Wade family.”


    ire felt her breath quicken and asked urgently, “Then… then is charlie really the young master of the Wade family?! Did my grandfather recognize his identity and that’s why he wanted me to marry him?”


    Stephen Thompson nodded solemnly and said, “Yes. Your husband charlie is indeed the young master of the Wade family. His father is bruce Wade, the second son of the Wade family, and his mother is An Chengxi of the prominent An family in the United States.”


    “Ah?! Is that really true?!” ire felt lightheaded. She had been married to charlie for so long, yet only now was she learning the truth about his identity—from someone else.


    Tears welled up in her eyes, and she choked out, “But… but why didn’t he tell me? No matter who he is, he should have at least told me the truth…”


    Stephen Thompson shook his head and replied, “He couldn’t tell you.”


    Then, he asked, “Do you know why the young master spent ten years in an orphanage?”


    “Why?!” ire asked, confused. “If he’s the Wade family’s young master, surely they could’ve given him the best life. Why would they leave him alone in an orphanage for so long?”


    Stephen Thompson answered seriously, “Because the young master not only carries deep hatred, but also bears a deadly curse.”


    At this point, Stephen Thompson grew visibly emotional. “The young master’s parents were the pride of the Chinese people—exceptional in every way. But back then, they offended an ancient and sinister organization. That group has a history spanning over 300 years, and its reach extends across the world. The young master’s parents were killed by them.”


    “And ever since, the organization has sought to eliminate their bloodline—to kill the young master as well.”


    “Fortunately, the young master’s father was cautious. He foresaw his likely demise at the hands of this enemy and arranged a safe escape for his son.”


    “He was the one who arranged for the young master to live in an orphanage. During those ten years, the organization was actively searching for him. But they never imagined he had remained in Aurous Hill—the very city where his parents were killed!”


    “His father once said, ‘The most dangerous ce is often the safest. The ce no one would suspect is often the best ce to hide!’”
