    As soon as Jeremiah said this, the entire audience gaped in astonishment!

    Curtis''s son... wasn''t that Charlie?!


    In reality, back when Jeremiah had asked Stephen to purchase the Emgrand Group in Aurous Hill


    and give i t to Charlie, even extending an invitation to wee Charlie back to the family, everyone


    knew that Charlie was still alive.


    Apart from Jeremiah, everyone else was very wary of Charlie and even repelled him, fearing that he


    would return to Eastcliff andpete with them for the Wade family''s inheritance and power.


    Fortunately, Charlie had refused Stephen''s request and did not return to the Wade family, so


    everyone had been relieved and gradually put their guards down.


    However, even if Charlie decided not to return, everyone was still very agitated by the fact that


    Jeremiah had spent hundreds of billions on buying him the Emgrand Group. 8


    Although the Wade family''s assets exceeded a trillion dors, they were a veryrge family.


    Jeremiah had four sons and two daughters.


    In addition to the untimely death of Curtis, his second son, the other three sons had a total of


    thirteen offsprings-seven sons and six daughters.


    Although Jeremiah''s two daughters were married, they held important positions in the Wade family''s


    financial empire, so even if the inheritance was evenly distributed, it would be impossible for them to


    inherit 100 billion per person, given therge number o f heirs.


    Therefore, many of the family members were envious when they found out that Charlie had


    obtained the Emgrand Group by himself. 9


    At that time, many of them had objected to this action, strongly protesting against Jeremiah''s biased


    approach, but he insisted on doing so, citing the fact that the family had owed too much to Curtis


    and his family. 5


    Although they were dissatisfied by Jeremiah''s action and reasons, they reluctantly epted the


    oue since Charlie did not n to return to Eastcliff to fight for the inheritance.


    In everyone''s opinion, it was better for Charlie to stay beyond their perimeter and be an outcast on


    his own like he always was. At least there would be one less obstacle in theirpetition for the


    Wade family’s patriarch battle.


    However, now that Jeremiah had proposed to let Charliee back and even wanted him to marry


    the descendant of the Schulz family, it would be like putting the cat near the goldfish bowl.


    Thus, yton started in an agitated voice, "Father! Curtis''s son has been wandering beyond our


    reach for so many years. He has not received a high-end education, nor has he experienced the


    training and cultivation from the family. He is an uncivilized hillbilly! Do you want to turn our family


    into aughingstock by letting him marry Sophie Schulz?! In fact, as I recall, he is already married in


    Aurous Hill!" 11


    "That''s right, Father!" Caleb started with urgency in his voice. "From kindergarten to high school, all


    of our Wade family members have attended one of the top private schools in the country! We


    furthered our studies at prestigious universities abroad! We have received top-notch education from


    a young age,bining the best of Western and Eastern education! We’re not only learning the


    standard curriculum sybus, but we also learn about business management and administration,


    multiplenguages, aristocratic education, horsemanship, golf, and so on! Curtis''s son grew up in


    an orphanage and never even went to college. How do you expect the young miss of the Schulz


    family to look up to this kind of worthless man?" 7


    Everyone started nodding and chanting in agreement.


    At this moment, Stephen stepped forward and said with a nk expression, "Mr. Charlie has been


    to college, but he was not enrolled in the four-year program. Moreover, from my countless


    interactions with him, I find that he has the demeanor and courage of Mr. Curtis. He is indeed an


    impressive man!" s


    Felix chided sternly, "Stephen, there is no ce for you to voice your opinion here! Look around


    you. We are all Wade family members, and you are just a servant. Shut your mouth!” 7


    Stephen did not flicker to his criticism. "Although I a m not one of you, I’ll always remember that Mr.


    Curtis was the one who gave me my life and the opportunity for me to stand here. So, I have long


    vowed that I will dedicate my life to the Wade family forever. Every word I say is with a clear


    conscience." 7


    Hugh said coldly, “Did you think we don’t know you? You''re not loyal to the Wade family, you''re only


    loyal t o my uncle. That''s why you tried so hard to hide Charlie from us and even tricked grandpa


    into buying him the Emgrand Group. Now, you want to trick grandpa into getting him back to


    Eastcliff! I think your selfish intention is actually to help Charlie to be the head of our family,


    right?” s


    With that, everyone''s expression shifted instantly!
