When Jasmine heard Nanako's question, she said seriously, "I actually know very little about Master Wade's past. I met him for the first tlast year in one of our family's antique stores. At that time, Master Wade was not famous in Aurous Hill, and he was just a live-in son-in-law with a very low status in his family." As she spoke of this, Jasmine then spoke up, "But although Master Wade is very young, he had mastered an antique restoration technique that had already been long lost. This really madefeel very shocked. At that time, I felt that this man should have sunknown story." Nanako nodded. "There are indeed many shocking things about Charlie-kun, but what I want to know the most is about Charlie-kun's childhood. For instance, where exactly he cfrom, and how he ended up becoming an orphan. Was he abandoned by his parents after he was born, did he lose his parents after he was born, or whether he only becan orphan after he lost his parents at a certain point in time?" Jasmine frowned and thought for a long time. She shook her head and said, "This... To be honest, I'm really not too sure about all these things." Nanako then analyzed once again, "Jasmine, look. Quinn Golding said that her childhood sweetheart went missing when she was about five or six years old. If we were to compare and reverse things according to Quinn Golding and Charlie-kun's age, Charlie-kun should be about seven to eight years old back then. Quinn Golding is a native of Eastcliff, and so, there is a very simple and dialectical logic behind this matter. If Charlie-kun is a native of Aurous Hill, he would not have had any interactions with Quinn Golding at all when he was young. So, he would naturally not be Quinn Golding's prince charming, then. This will prove that our intuition was all wrong." "However, based on the slogic, if Charlie-kun is not a native of Aurous Hill, the possibility of this matter will be greatly increased!" "If Charlie-kun is indeed Quinn Golding's prince charming, this proves that Charlie-kun should have been a native of Eastcliff when he was a child.
Moreover, he would have been around seven to eight years old when he cto Aurous Hill." 2 Jasmine nodded in agreement as she said, "According to this reasoning, if Master Wade also happened to enter the orphanage when he was seven or eight years old, the timeline would basically be consistent and can be matched up." 2 "Yes." Nanako hurriedly said, "Jasmine, you have connections and relationships in Aurous Hill. So, can you get someone to check the records at the Aurous Hill Welfare Institute, then?" Jasmine thought about it and said, "It would not be a big problem to check the records, but will Master Wade have any misunderstanding toward us if he finds out that we're investigating him? After all, Master Wade has a wide network of people in Aurous Hill. I'm afraid that he will find out about it as soon as I get someone to check and look into this matter on my end." "That is indeed the case..." Nanako thought about it before she hurriedly said, "By the way, Jasmine, didn't you tell Charlie-kun's wife that you wanted to collaborate with her on sprojects?" 3 "Yes." Jasmine nodded. "Why?" Nanako hurriedly said, "Then, you only need to look for an opportunity to ask her how old Charlie-kun was when he entered the orphanage. As long as you ask her the question in a subtle manner, she should not be suspicious. That way, we will also be able to find out the truth about our doubts, then!" Jasmine immediately agreed and said, "In that case, I'll ask Mrs. Wade to meet up withfor a chat at the group tomorrow!" 2 After she was done speaking, Jasmine looked at Nanako in confusion as she asked her, "But... Nanako, what do you think is the significance of us doing all this?" Nanako said seriously, "Jasmine, the significance of this matter tois because I love Charlie-kun deeply and unreservedly. So, I cannot help but find myself wanting to learn more about Charlie-kun's past. I also know that this idea of mine is very selfish, but I just can't seem to control myself..." Jasmine sighed faintly and murmured, "Who is not like that? I also want to know what kind of person Master Wade, who has repeatedly savedwhen I was in distress and has keptcaptivated and enchanted, really is..." After saying that, Jasmine's tone was even more firm and determined as she spoke up, "I'll try to find sclues tomorrow!" ***
Early in the morning the next day
Charlie and Claire woke up one after the other, washed up, and headed downstairs for breakfast. 2
According to their routine these days, Charlie would drive Claire to work of after eating. However, the location her work might be uncertain. It could be the company, it could be the construction site of Emgrand Group, or it could even be the old mansion that Helen had just bought over. 5 X
