The Amazing Son in Law The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Late at night, a cargo ship embarked from Bohai Bay, carrying Stephen toward Tahiti in the South Pacific.

Stephen stood at the ship’s stern, gazing at the receding lights of the port in the night, a swirl of emotions in his heart.

Although he was Charlie’s father’s confidant, twenty years ago, Bruce had given him two specific tasks.

One was to ensure Charlie’s safety should anything happen to him, and the other was to strictly adhere to the security plan and follow Lily’s directives.

Over the years, while Stephen had served as the Wade family’s butler, he had, in reality, been following Lily’s instructions in all matters.

For more than a decade, even Lord Wade remained oblivious to whether his grandson, Charlie, was alive or deceased. This was because, prior to Bruce’s tragic accident, he hadn’t specified when Stephen should inform Lord Wade about Charlie’s wellbeing. Lily had been the mastermind behind the scenes, orchestrating everything. Only when Lily deemed the time was right did she instruct Stephen to disclose Charlie’s situation to Lord Wade.

Lord Wade grappled with a sense of unworthiness toward his son and daughter-in-law.

Moreover, his grandson had faced a troubled fate. To compensate for Charlie, he had acquired Emgrand Group and bestowed upon Stephen a 10-billion-dollar black card to deliver to Charlie. Subsequently, the events that unfolded became common knowledge.

Though Stephen felt reluctant to leave Eastcliff abruptly, he understood that a temporary departure was the best course for now. The only regret he carried was not bidding Charlie farewell.

At that very moment, Charlie lay alone in the guest room of the old Wade family estate, restlessly shifting and turning.

Stephen’s unannounced departure urged Charlie to dig deeper into the matter. Stephen wasn’t working for his grandfather, nor was he working for his father. If Stephen had been serving his father’s interests, he wouldn’t have left today.

In fact, he would have aided Charlie in unraveling the mystery surrounding Cole’s identity and whereabouts.

After all, Cole was likely a friend of his father’s, and Stephen had been his father’s loyal subordinate. There was no need for secrets between them.

The only conclusion was that Jagoan was actually serving a third party, one unknown to Jagoan.

The mysterious third party had no intention of letting Jagoan uncover their existence through Jagoan. That’s why they vanished suddenly, leaving Jagoan with no clues or avenues to follow up on.
