After hearing the old master's words, Clayton admitted in embarrassment, "Father, you've previously talked about having an arranged marriage with Schulz family. You wanted Sophie as Wade family's daughter-in-law, but you did not select a suitable groom." Jeremiah chipped in, "Didn't we agree on it last time? The son of Curtis is the best candidate." "But Stephen previously mentioned that Curtis' son did not want to cback to the family. I think he might even hate us," replied Clayton. 2 Jeremiah waved his hand. "It's not up to you orto determine whether or not the kid hates us." Caleb, who was by his side, quickly asked, "Father, are you saying you'd want to look for Curtis' son and ask him to return to the family?" 3 Jeremiah nodded. "Indeed. It's on my mind, but I'm unsure how I should persuade him." s Clayton suddenly felt threatened, tremendous pressure bearing down on him. He quickly interjected, "Father, Curtis' son has been away from hfor so many years! He is uncontrollable! Please think this over!" 5 Jeremiah waved his hand in dismissal. "Stop trying to persuade me. When I asked Stephen to buy Emgrand Group as a gift for him, I had already decided. Sooner or later, I would've to let him back into the family.

We are totally outnumbered, compared to the countless branches of Schulz family, and we can't a grown man live outside of the family any longer." 8 Clayton held his breath and calmly asked. "What if he is not willing to cback, father?" 1 Jeremiah said solemnly, "People change. If he's not willing to cback today, maybe he will cback tomorrow. If not tomorrow, then perhaps a year later, or two, or three? Or maybe even ten years later? There will definitely ca day where he will change his mind, and his will to stay away weakens with time." Clayton, Caleb, and Chronos, who were silently listening, cursed unhappily at the back of their minds. 5 One thing they feared most was the dissolution of the family property.
Be it ten thousand or a trillion dollars, when split between one, two, or even three people, the amount each would get at the end would be very different.
Initially, Emgrand Group's purchase for Charlie, which had cost the family ten billion dollars in addition to a billion dollars cash, had already gotten everyone riled up. 10 After all, when the old master passed away, these eleven billion dollars were supposed to be split into three equal portions for the three sons' families when the family property division occurred. Each of them would be able to get their hands on at least three hundred million dollars. Now, it might have all gone down the drain. 7 As such, they were all anxious about Charlie coming back to Wade family.
Jeremiah didn't look at any of his sons or grandchildren; instead, he looked toward Carmen, his own daughter. 3 He then sighed, his chest drooping heavily. "Carmen, the new year is almost here." Carmen hurriedly got to her feet and asked, "Father, don't hesitate to givean order. I will do my best to fulfill it."

If he has the heart to, then immediately invite him over for the new year." 4 Carmen nodded. "Yes, Father. I'll head over there tomorrow."
V As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something she wanted to ask for a while. "Father, Charlie actually married. If he's willing to chome, should we allow him to bring his wife back to see you too?" 2
Jeremiah waved his hand and replied, his voice dripping with disgust. "Such a low and rugged girl from a low-class family from a el m low glass town. How can she even compare to our Wade family's stature? If Charlie were to return, the first thing he must do is to divorce this woman. We'll then arrange for him to meet up with Sophie, and let's see how it progresses from there." 7 "Alright!" Carmen nodded. "I'll see what Charlie thinks about coming back first, before slowly raising this plan to him." Jeremiah smiled, contented. "Then this matter shall be entrusted to you!" X
