At this moment, Claire Wilson felt her entire worldview had been turned upside down.
She never imagined that Charlie wade was not only the young master of the Wade family from Eastcliff, but that his background was shrouded in such immense tragedy and conspiracy.
The Wade family of Eastcliff was already one of the most prominent families in the country, and Charlie wade’s parents were among the most renowned figures in the Chinese community, both domestically and internationally, back in their day. Yet even people like them couldn’t stand against the enemies lurking in the shadows, to the point that they had to arrange for Charlie wade to be sent to an orphanage under a false identity to ensure his safety. Just how colossal must the enemies behind him be?
At this point, Claire Wilson had no time to dwell on the fact that Charlie wade had deceived her for so many years. She asked anxiously, “Is that organisation still hunting Charlie wade to this day?”
“Indeed!” Stephen Thompson nodded gravely, saying solemnly, “If they knew the young master was still alive, they would stop at nothing to hunt him down.”
Claire Wilson instinctively clenched her fists, saying angrily, “Charlie wade was just a child back then. What kind of deep grudge could they have against a child? He’s already suffered so much growing up, why won’t they let him go?”
Stephen Thompson shook his head with a bitter smile, “Madam Wade, many people in this world don’t care about reason. For all these years, their goal has been to erase the young master and his parents from existence, to cut the grass and pull out the roots, that’s what they’ve relentlessly pursued.”
There was another reason Stephen Thompson couldn’t share with anyone: Wu Fiona had always suspected that the woman who died alongside Bruce wade at the hands of Jaro bo was not An Chengqi herself.
For years, Wu Fiona never gave up searching for Charlie wade, monitoring the An family, and even attempting to wipe out the An family in New York, all to lure Charlie wade’s mother, An Chengqi, out of hiding.
If Wu Fiona knew Charlie wade was still alive, she would undoubtedly do everything in her power to assassinate him, because she knew that as long as An Chengqi was alive, the moment she found Charlie wade and was about to kill him, An Chengqi would surely appear!
At this moment, Claire Wilson looked at Stephen Thompson and asked, “So why did Butler Stephen seek me out? Was it to tell me these secrets? Did Charlie wade send you?”
“No,” Stephen Thompson said solemnly, “I came to see Madam Wade today without the young master’s knowledge. I’m here to ask Madam Wade for a favour, one that might be difficult, but I earnestly beg you not to refuse.”
Claire Wilson hurriedly said, “You don’t need to be so polite. If there’s anything I can do for Charlie wade, no matter the cost, I’m willing to bear it.”
Stephen Thompson took a deep breath, then looked into Claire Wilson’s eyes and said very seriously, “Madam Wade, I hope you can temporarily disappear from the young master’s world.”
“Disappear?” Claire Wilson asked, shocked, “Why should I disappear? Even if I can’t help him seek revenge, I can still support him by his side.”
Stephen Thompson slowly shook his head, saying very seriously, “Madam Wade, you don’t know how terrifying the young master’s enemies truly are. As long as you remain by his side, he will never be able to fully face his enemies without restraint. And the moment his enemies find him, you and your family will become his burden.”
Claire Wilson furrowed her brows, asking in confusion, “No matter how powerful these people are, can they be above the law? Can’t Charlie wade report this to the police? Can’t he seek legal protection?”
