Charlie was aware that Stephen had once been his father’s most trusted confidant, implying meticulous plans made in the past. Despite his years with the Wade family, he’d devoted more energy to fulfilling his father’s directives.

Considering Felix’s likely inclusion in his father’s scheme, it stood to reason that Stephen had some knowledge of him.

Thus, Charlie turned to Maria, stating, “I haven’t delved into the specifics with Butler Thompson before. It seems today I’ll have to.”

In that moment, Charlie’s mind raced with strategies to unearth the truth. Every facet of the past, each arrangement his father had set in motion, whether it was through subtle influence on Stephen First, Charlie resolved to uncover it all.

Turning to Maria, he declared, “I’ll seek out Butler Thompson now.”

Maria inquired, “Young Master, may I accompany you?”

Without hesitation, Charlie affirmed, “Certainly!”

Together, they ventured from his parents chamber, hopeful of rendezvousing with Stephen to unravel the enigma.

Upon reaching the grand hall, Lord Wade, the elderly patriarch, sat sipping tea in solitude.

Observing Charlie’s emergence, he queried with intrigue, “Charlie, have you made headway sorting through your parents effects?”

“Still in progress,” Charlie affirmed, then inquired, “Grandpa, where might Butler Thompson be?”

Perplexed, Lord Wade responded, “He mentioned an urgent matter and departed to attend to it. Are you in search of him?”

Jagoan nodded, affirming, “Yes. If he’s unavailable, I’ll reach out to him.”
