NovelEnglishAs soon as Jeremiah said this, the entire audience gaped in astonishment! Curtis's son... wasn't that Charlie?! In reality, back when Jeremiah had asked Stephen to purchase the Emgrand Group in Aurous Hill and give it to Charlie, even extending an invitation to welcCharlie back to the family, everyone knew that Charlie was still alive.
Apart from Jeremiah, everyone else was very wary of Charlie and even repelled him, fearing that he would return to Eastcliff and compete with them for the Wade family's inheritance and power.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFortunately, Charlie had refused Stephen's request and did not return to the Wade family, so everyone had been relieved and gradually put their guards down.
However, even if Charlie decided not to return, everyone was still very agitated by the fact that Jeremiah had spent hundreds of billions on buying him the Emgrand Group. 8 Although the Wade family's assets exceeded a trillion dollars, they were a very large family.
Jeremiah had four sons and two daughters.
In addition to the untimely death of Curtis, his second son, the other three sons had a total of thirteen offsprings- seven sons and six daughters.
Although Jeremiah's two daughters were married, they held important positions in the Wade family's financial empire, so even if the inheritance was evenly distributed, it would be impossible for them to inherit 100 billion per person, given the large number of heirs.
Therefore, many of the family members were envious when they found out that Charlie had obtained the Emgrand Group by himself. 9 At that time, many of them had objected to this action, strongly protesting against Jeremiah's biased approach, but he insisted on doing so, citing the fact that the family had owed too much to Curtis and his family. 5 Although they were dissatisfied by Jeremiah's action and reasons, they reluctantly accepted the outcsince Charlie did not plan to return to Eastcliff to fight for the inheritance.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn everyone's opinion, it was better for Charlie to stay beyond their perimeter and be an outcast on his own like he always was. At least there would be one less obstacle in their competition for the Wade family's patriarch battle.
However, now that Jeremiah had proposed to let Charlie cback and even wanted him to marry the descendant of the Schulz family, it would be like putting the cat near the goldfish bowl.
Thus, Clayton started in an agitated voice, "Father! Curtis's son has been wandering beyond our reach for so many years. He has not received a high-end education, nor has he experienced the training and cultivation from the family. He is an uncivilized hillbilly! Do you want to turn our family into a laughingstock by letting him marry Sophie Schulz?! In fact, as I recall, he is already married in Aurous Hill!" 11 "That's right, Father!" Caleb started with urgency in his voice. "From kindergarten to high school, all of our Wade family members have attended one of the top private schools in the country! We furthered our studies at prestigious universities abroad! We have received top-notch education from a young age, combining the best of Western and Eastern education! We're not only learning the standard curriculum syllabus, but we also learn about business management and administration, multiple languages, aristocratic education, horsemanship, golf, and so on! Curtis's son grew up in an orphanage and never even went to college. How do you expect the young miss of the Schulz family to look up to this kind of worthless man?" 7 Everyone started nodding and chanting in agreement.
At this moment, Stephen stepped forward and said with a blank expression, "Mr. Charlie has been to college, but he was not enrolled in the four-year program. Moreover, from my countless interactions with him, I find that he has the demeanor and courage of Mr. Curtis. He is indeed an impressive man!" s Felix chided sternly, "Stephen, there is no place for you to voice your opinion here! Look around you. We are all Wade family members, and you are just a servant. Shut your mouth!" 7
Stephen did not flicker to his t criticism. "Although I am not one of you, I'll always remember that Mr Curtis was the one who gavemy life and the opportunity forto stand here. So, I have long vowed that I will dedicate my life to the Wade family forever. Every word I say is with a clear conscience." 7
Hugh said coldly, "Did you think we don't know you? You're not loyal to the Wade family, you're only loyal to my uncle. That's why you tried so hard to hide Charlie from us and even tricked grandpa into buying him the Emgrand Group. Now, you want to trick grandpa into getting him back to Eastcliff!
