Chapter 1388
However, this feeling of indignation in his heart was fleeting.
This was because he knew that Stephen and Mrs. Lewis only did this for his own good.
If they did not deliberately protect him like this, he probably would have already died more than ten
years ago.
In order to protect him, Stephen did not hesitate to rece the entire Aurous Hill Welfare Institute
with the Wade family’s own subordinates. This was already enough to prove Stephen’s dedication
and loyalty toward him.
As he thought about this, Charlie hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Mrs. Lewis and help
her up as he said gratefully, "Mrs. Lewis, you don''t have to apologize to me, let alone ask me for my
forgiveness. Both you and Mr. Thompson are my benefactors. I should thank you for risking your life
to protect me and ensure my safety."
Mrs. Lewis waved her hand in a hurry before she said, "Young Master, you are too polite. This is
what we should do."
Charlie sighed and said, "Mrs. Lewis, I am still feeling a little confused now. I have to call Mr.
Thompson now so that I can sort all of these clues out. I wille
back to look for you after I have already figured everything out." 2
Mrs. Lewis quickly replied, "Okay, Young Master!"
Charlie had a very uncertain look in his eyes as he replied in a flustered manner, "I will leave first
then, Mrs. Lewis."
Mrs. Lewis hurriedly replied, "Young Master, let me see you off!"
Charlie waved his hand and said, "No need. I will leave myself."
After that, Charlie looked at Mrs. Lewis respectfully before he bowed slightly toward her. Then, he
turned around and left the office.
Charlie pushed his motorcycle as he walked out of the orphanage in despair. 1
At this time, in the dean’s office on the fourth floor of the orphanage, a middle-aged man in his fifties
looked out the window through the curtain gap. After that, he turned around and looked at a gray-
haired old man who was sitting in front of the desk as he said respectfully, "Mr. Thompson, the
young master has already left."
It was the dean of the Aurous Hill Welfare Institute who was speaking.
The gray-haired old man sitting at the desk was Stephen Thompson, the steward of the Wade
family. 2
As soon as he heard that Charlie had already left,
Stephen nodded slightly as he sighed and said, "I have already thought of all the possibilities, but I
would have never expected the young master to invite the youngdy of the Golding family to
be his spokesperson. As soon as I heard of this news, I immediately rushed here from
Eastcliff, but I was still toote...”
The dean asked him, "Mr. Thompson, there is something that I do not understand."
"Speak up."
The dean asked suspiciously, "Emma does not know anything about this at all. So, why did you ask
her to memorize and recite those lines to lie to the young master?" 9Owned by N?velDrama.Org.
After he spoke, he asked again, "In the beginning, I proposed for us to choose a suitable woman
amongst all the reliable servants working for the Wade family t oe and take care of the young
master, but you disagreed with my suggestion. You insisted on hiring a volunteer from society who
does not know anything at all. That was the reason why I decided to recruit Emma to work for the
orphanage. She is the only employee in the entire orphanage who has been kept i n the dark and
does not know anything at all. So, why do you have to ask her to lie to Charlie now? If you did not
tell her anything about this matter, she would not know anything at all. Therefore, no matter what
the young master asks, it would be impossible for him to get any information out of her. Moreover,
the young master naturally would not be able to see through her
since she does not know anything at all!" 6
Stephen replied emotionally, "The reason why I did not agree with your proposal to get one of the
subordinates who worked for the Wade family to take care of the young master was because I am
afraid that the other party would identally expose herself when she interacts andmunicates
with the young master day to day. I was afraid that the young master would see right through her."
"Just think about it. This person would have to take care of the young master for ten years. What if
she identally slipped up and called him ''Young Master ''? What if she identally talked in her
dreams when she was taking a nap one day? What should we do then? The young master was only
eight years old at that time. I definitely cannot allow him to find out that everything around him had
been arranged by someone else!" 5
"It is because of this very reason that I wanted someone who did not know him at all to take care of
him personally. This is the only way to ensure that he can live the life of an ordinary orphan. This is
also the reason why I did not dare to give him any more care even when my heart was breaking
when I saw that he was not eating well, dressing well, or doing well during those years. I did not
even dare to ask you to intervene when he was being excluded, isted, and humiliated by the
other children in the orphanage..."
As he spoke of this, Stephen sighed as he said, "If I did not see how badly the young master
wanted to treat
Emma''s illness, I really would not have known how else I would be able to convince the young
master to ept the gift from the old man." 6 "What should we do now?" The dean replied
nervously, "Since the young master has already heard everything from Emma, he will definitely
contact you immediately to find a way to discover the identity of the person who killed his parents
back then. He might even decide to return to Eastcliff. What if someone from the Wade family finds
his existence unfavorable t o them and decides to do something to the young master then?" 4
Stephen replied indifferently, "The young master has a title in Aurous Hill. He is known as the True
Dragon o n earth. The young master did note up with this title on his own. The title was
spontaneously given to him by the top and reputable figures from Aurous Hill. This proves that the
young master is by no means a person with no particr talent at all. He is not someone that an
ordinary person could deal with if they wanted to." 6
After that, Stephen said in a deep voice, "Although Lord Wade''s health has not been very good, he
can still pull through for a few more years. I originally did not n for the young master to return to
Eastcliff so soon. However, I never would have dreamt that he would run into the youngdy from
the Golding family ..." 2
"Both the father and daughter from the Golding family have been looking for the young master for
so many years now. Once they cross paths with him, they will inevitably tell him everything that has
happened. By then, the young master will naturally know that there was some sort of maniption
behind this entire matter. The facts have already proved that my guess was right. So, since things
have already turned out this way, why should we bother hiding the truth from the young master
anymore? After all, he has always been the closest to Emma ever since he was a child. If those
words came out from her mouth, it would have a greater effect on himpared to if those words
came from me. This is the only way to stir the young master and encourage him to return to
Eastcliff, and return to the Wade family to turn things upside down!" 8
As he spoke of this, Stephen was already tearing as he trembled and said, "I am ipetent, and I
was not able to exact revenge on behalf of the second master for this blood feud. Now, I will let the
young master personally exact revenge for the second master and the second mistress’s blood
feud! This way, even if I were to die, I would be able to die contentedly!"
