Chapter 1390
"However, I was afraid that there would be someone in the Wade family who would try to harm you.
After all, Lord Wade is already old. If he were to bring you back t o the Wade family and expose you
to the other members of the Wade family, he might not be able to protect youprehensively.
Thus, I decided on my own to settle you down in Aurous Hill before I proceeded topletely
conceal and hide your identity and information from everyone else. I also did not let Yule from the
Golding family know about your whereabouts when he came looking for you back then." 7
Charlie asked again, "Why did youe and find me t o ask me to go back to the Wade family
some time ago, then?" i
Stephen replied earnestly, "Young Master, to tell you the truth, Lord Wade''s health has been getting
worse and worse over the past two years. However, he is very dissatisfied with the current situation
and status quo o f the current heirs of the Wade family. Therefore, he is very unwilling to hand over
the Wade family to them. When I told Lord Wade that you were still alive, he was naturally very
excited. So, he wanted to train you to be an heir. He gave you the Emgrand Group and the ten
billion dors just for you to practice. In the future, when you are willing to go back to the Wade
family, there is a high chance that Lord Wade will
hand over the responsibility of taking care of the trillions of dors of wealth and assets owned by
the Wade family over to you." 11
Charlie replied lightly, "I understand now, Mr. Thompson. I have caused you so much trouble
because of this matter for so many years." 1
Stephen hurriedly said, "Young Master, I would not dare to say that! Your father has been very kind
and gracious toward me, and I owe him a great debt of gratitude. Don''t mention this trivial matter. I
will not hesitate at all even if I have to offer or sacrifice my life for you!" 1
Charlie was deeply moved, and he said, "I am not interested in the Wade family’s assets. However,
when the time is right, I will definitely investigate and look into the hidden circumstances of my
parents'' murder i n the past. When the timees, I will settle the score with those who are
involved in this matter, and I will make sure that they pay for their crimes with their lives." 5
Stephen was very excited, and he trembled as he said, "Young Master, I will be able to die
contentedly now after hearing these words from you! You are now known as the Supreme One in
Newton and the True Dragon on earth! I believe that with your strength and capability, you will
unmistakably be able to exact revenge on behalf of the second master and second mistress!"
At this point, Stephen had already started tearing.
In the past, before Stephen became the steward of the Wade family, he was an assistant who was
always following Charlie''s father around. A few of his scoundrel friends had set their sights on him
because he was earning a good and lucrative ie. They had deceived him and tricked him into
going to Macau, and he had lost all of his money at the gambling table.
Stephen had degenerated and turned into a gambling addict. He began borrowing money from loan
sharks everywhere just so he could go to the casinos in Macau to make aeback and win back
all of his money. As a result, the more he gambled, the deeper h e fell into his addiction.
In the end, Stephen not only lost everything he had, but he was also chased by the loan sharks. Out
of desperation, Stephen even bet both of his hands in the casino. Unexpectedly, Stephen had lost
the bet for both of his hands in the casino as well. 1
ording to the rules in the casinos in Macau, no matter what you bet on, if you lost, you would
have to ept your loss and fulfill the bet no matter what it was. This was also the reason why
there were many gambling addicts with no hands or legs who were begging on the corner of the
street by the casino to make a living. 5
Even if that was the case, these gambling addicts would still be as frugal as they could as they were
saving the little money they had so that they could enter the casino to continue gambling. Their lives
had
been utterly destroyed and ruined. 3
The Stephen from back then had nearly fallen into a pit at this point in his life. 1
Later, it was Charlie’s father who had paid tens of millions of dors to redeem him from the casino
in good condition without any harm or damage done to him. After that, he forced Stephen to take an
oath never to gamble again.
To ensure that he would quit gamblingpletely and live a decent life, Charlie''s father had
specially promoted Stephen and made Stephen his personal steward. Charlie’s father would bring
Stephen everywhere with him at all times, and he would never allow him to gamble at all. 6

Ever since then, Stephen hade to his senses, and he assisted Charlie''s father wholeheartedly,
always staying by Charlie''s father''s side. He did not only try his best to share Charlie''s father''s
burdens and worries, but he also learned and gained a lot of valuable management and
development experience from Charlie''s father. Within a few years, he had be the most capable
servant working for the Wade family.
After that, Stephen had gained Lord Wade’s appreciation and acknowledgment. Lord Wade had
wanted to make Stephen the steward of the entire Wade family. However, Stephen turned down his
offer. In the end, Charlie''s father was the one who had forced Stephen to take on the job.
Based on Charlie''s father''s words, Stephen had already reached the peak of his abilities and
capabilities, thus, Stephen should no longer be limited to working as his personal steward. Instead,
he should be given a broader development opportunity, i
In his opinion, the steward of the entire Wade family was the highest position the upper-ss family
could give to an outsider. If Stephen could gain this position, it was guaranteed that he would be
able to enjoy a glorious and wealthy life. Charlie’s father did not want Stephen to give up on this
golden opportunity because of him.
Although Stephen was no longer Charlie''s father''s personal steward, he became even more loyal
toward Charlie''s father, and he even regarded him as his lifelong role model and support.
It was a pity that Charlie''s father had left this world early. This was also Stephen''s greatest regret
and remorse in life. 6
He had always felt that Charlie''s parents would not have died if he was still Charlie’s father’s
personal steward back then.
He might have even been able to block a few shots for them at the most critical moment. That way,
they would have had a higher chance of survival...
