“Take your mother, Ms. ine, for example. She went missing for a while—I’m sure you remember that?”


    ire nodded. “I remember. My mom said she got tricked into a pyramid scheme.”


    “Not quite,” Stephen Thompson shook his head. “She stole the young master’s bank card. That card contained 10 billion RMB—money our master entrusted to the young master through me. Once your mother figured out the password, she transferred the entire bnce to her own ount. To avoid exposing his identity, the young master imed it was a fake card made by a scam gang, which eased your mother’s suspicion. Left with no choice, he let the police detain her for a few days. But unexpectedly, your grandmother and cousin were in the same cell, and they ended up injuring your mother.”


    When ire heard this, she hesitated for a moment, then quickly realized—this did sound like something her mother would do. If she saw a bank card with billions, she’d absolutely take it without hesitation.


    With that realization, a wave of shame swept over her.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    It turned out that not only had she and her parents relied on charlie Wade’s silent protection all along—they had also repeatedly dragged him into trouble.


    charlie Wade carries a deep blood feud, and not only is his family unable to help him—they distract and even hinder him.<fndab4> Readplete version only at find~novel</fndab4>


    As soon as this thought crossed her mind, ire understood why Stephen Thompson wanted her to leave charlie Wade.


    His family couldn’t support him and could only make matters worse. In that sense, leaving him would actually be a way to help. At the very least, they wouldn’t burden or distract him any longer.


    By now, tears were streaming down her face—tears of heartache, shame, and, most of all, reluctance.


    She felt heartache because of charlie Wade’s tragic fate and the hardship he had endured for so many years;


    She felt shame because she realized she hadn’t truly fulfilled the role and duties of a good wife. She hadn’t shared her husband’s burdens—instead, she often needed his help in secret, while her parents constantly created trouble for him.


    As for the reluctance, it came from the painful realization that—for charlie Wade’s safety and the path he must take for revenge—she could no longer stay and be a liability.


    So she asked Stephen Thompson, “How do you want me to leave charlie Wade? Should I pretend to know nothing and ask for a divorce? Or should I just leave without saying goodbye?”


    Stephen Thompson quickly responded, “Of course, leave without saying goodbye. If you file for divorce, it will deal a heavy emotional blow to the young master. It could disrupt his cultivation and his mental state.”


    ire then asked, “If I leave without a word, will hee looking for me?”


    Stephen Thompson replied, “Don’t worry. I once left without saying goodbye myself. At the time, I feared the young master would find me, so I went somewherepletely off his radar—a private ind in Tahiti. It’s practically isted from the world. But rest assured, the environment is beautiful and the facilities are modern. We’ll provide everything necessary to ensure that you and your parents can live there peacefully andfortably.”


    ire gave a bitter smile. “It seems you’ve been nning this for quite some time.”


    She let out a long sigh and asked again, “Will I ever have the chance to see charlie Wade again in the future?”


    Stephen Thompson said reassuringly, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Wade…”
