Chapter 1557


    As soon as anyone mentioned Curtis’s great name, all the middle-aged men from wealthy and


    powerful families in Eastcliff could only sigh. 4


    This was because for these wealthy and powerful families, no amount of wealth was as important


    as a powerful and capable male offspring who would be able to bring the family to greater heights!

    The business industry was just like a battlefield. Sometimes, a slight deviation might easily lead to


    the annihtion of an entire army, and they would be facing evesting perdition then. Hence, this


    was the reason why many wealthy and powerful families would face endless ups and downs in the


    game, and many of them even chose to retreat from the historical arena. 3


    If a family wanted to be prosperous, the amount of money or assets that they had in their hands


    was not important. What mattered the most was whether their descendants could continue


    producing talented and capable heirs. 6


    The fact that the Wade family was extremely prosperous today was inseparable from the solid


    foundation that Curtis hadid down for the Wade family twenty years ago.


    Therefore, everyone could only remember Curtis as the brightest moon deep down in their hearts. 5


    Charlie never expected that both the brothers, Adrian and Rogan, would get down on one knee as


    soon as they heard his father''s name. As he could see clearly that they were not being hypocritical


    but were indeed filled with respect for his father, his anger toward these two men was slightly


    relieved.


    At this time, Adrian turned around and looked at his son, Wrigley, and his nephew, Wilhelm, and he


    said," Why aren''t both of you kneeling and confessing to your own mistakes in front of Curtis’s


    son?" 6


    Wrigley already understood everything that was happening in front of him.


    Although he had not heard too many rumors about Curtis, he could already guess that Charlie was


    a direct descendant of the Wade family. 3


    Although the Golding family was one of the top three families in Eastcliff, alongside the Wade family,


    the differences between the two families were still extremely vast.


    Some people had even jokingly imed that the so-called top three Eastcliff families were actually


    nothing more than two dragons ying with a pearl. 7


    The two dragons were none other than the Wade family and the Schulz family, whereas the Golding


    family was nothing more than a pearl. 6


    The Wade family''s strength was several times strongerpared to that of the Golding family.


    Even if Yule, Adrian, and Rogan were tied up as one, they were still nothing in front of the Wade


    family. 3


    What''s more, Yule, who was the head of the family, was actually currently on Charlie''s side. 6


    This simply meant that Adrian and Rogan were not only facing the Wade family, but they were also


    directly confronting half of the Golding family!


    After all, their eldest brother, Yule, seemed to havepletely recovered from his illness now. If he


    were t o deal with them, even Adrian and Rogan could not afford to defeat him alone. So, how could


    they possibly afford to confront the Wade family, then? 4


    Therefore, Wrigley did not dare to be slow in action. H e hurriedly came forward to his father''s side


    in two to three steps. After that, he knelt on one knee before he said piously, "Mr. Wade, please


    forgive me for my ignorance. I did not know any better!" 4


    Even though Wilhelm was not as smart as Wrigley, he did not dare to ask any more questions at


    this time. H e simply came forward and knelt on the ground as he followed in his cousin’s steps and


    said respectfully, "M r. Wade, please forgive me for my ignorance because I did not know my ce!"


    Charlie nodded slightly before he said coldly, "I will not hold it against you for insulting me earlier


    because of the respect you hold for my father."


    As soon as they heard this, the four of them immediately heaved a huge sigh of relief.


    Charlie immediately continued, "However, both of you brothers colluded and worked hand-in-hand


    to try and seize Uncle Golding''s assets. You also intentionally released news that Uncle Golding


    was critically ill because you wanted to win over the other directors and try to usurp his position as


    chairman of the board. I want both of you to give Uncle Golding a perfect and clear solution to this


    matter. Otherwise, I will not let you off!” 2


    Adrian already understood that his n to take over his brother''s position had already failed


    completely. 3


    He knew that he would never be able to defeat his own elder brother and that he had already lost all


    of the loyalty and support from the other members of the board. It would be simply impossible for


    him to fight and go against his elder brother based on his third brother and his own capability and


    strength. In fact, it would be nothing more than a dream. The best solution right now was for him to


    acknowledge his own mistake and strive to return to the state they were in before this.


    Thus, he immediately looked at Yule as he said sincerely, "Elder Brother, this is all my fault. I acted


    recklessly because I was blinded by greed. I admit that I was wrong, and I hope that you will punish


    me a s you deem fit. From today onward, I will get rid of all my attempts to take over your position,


    and I will serve and assist you wholeheartedly in the management of the Golding Group!"
