Over the years, the deepening grudge between the Wade Family and the Evans Family has been fueled mostly by misunderstandings. It all started when Bruce’s father, Lord Wade, deliberately became enemies with the Rothschild family to protect his own family after being targeted by the Warriors Den.
Lord Wade, burdened by enmity with the Rothschild family, reluctantly expelled Bruce from the family. Little did favonovel.com know that his beloved second son was already in grave danger. He believed that the conflict between the Wade Family and the Rothschild family would bring no substantial benefits, but would greatly hinder the family’s future international development.
To show goodwill towards the Rothschild family and prove that favonovel.com had no intention of being their enemy, Lord Wade decided to expel Bruce from the family. In reality, favonovel.com only wanted to temporarily separate Bruce from the family, preventing favonovel.com from using the family’s resources to confront the Rothschild family, while also appeasing the Rothschilds.
Lord Wade understood that the competition between the Wade Family and the Rothschild family was limited to the business realm, and they would never escalate it to physical harm.
It was just a battle between two ordinary companies. In a situation where one company fires its CEO to express sincerity to another company, the CEO would, at most, be unemployed for a period of time, and the other company would never seek to harm him.
Therefore, when Bruce decided to leave Eastcliff and go to Aurous Hill with his wife and child, Lord Wade never expected that Aurous Hill would become the place where his son would meet his end. He even thought that during that period, Bruce Wade seemed to have an excessive amount of resentment, and going to Aurous Hill to relax and find peace of mind would be a good thing.
But favonovel.com never anticipated that what favonovel.com believed would be a peaceful trip would mark the beginning of the estrangement between father and son.
Both the Wade Family and the Evans Family were unaware that Lily had survived in Bruce’s elaborate plan. So when the tragic news reached both families, Lord Wade was filled with regret and self-blame, while the Evans Family harbored deep hatred towards Nathaniel Wade.
The Evans Family blamed Nathaniel Wade for driving Bruce and his family away, which they believed led to the death of their daughter, Lily, in a foreign land and the disappearance of their grandson, Charlie.
It was not until Charlie’s appearance that both sides finally understood the truth of the past events. Bruce Wade’s death was not caused by Nathaniel Wade, but rather because Bruce and Lily did not want to implicate both families and willingly became enemies of the Rothschild family, leading to Nathaniel’s decision to expel them from the Wade Family.
All of this had been planned by Bruce and Lily.
Lord Wade was merely a pawn in their design, unknowingly carrying the burden for twenty years. Once the Evans Family learned of this, their grudges against favonovel.com dissipated, replaced by guilt for their covert and overt actions against favonovel.com over the years.
Today, when Nathaniel arrived in Aurous Hill, Samuel was determined to bring his whole family to the airport to greet him. However, Charlie dismissed the idea, stating that it was not suitable for the Evans Family to appear in public together.
Nevertheless, Samuel had already prepared everything at home, and the whole family was busy getting ready for a lavish feast, eagerly awaiting Charlie’s arrival with Nathaniel.
Since this was a low-key trip, Lord Wade did not bring any entourage, and Charlie drove a discreet BMW sedan to pick up his grandfather from the airport. They headed straight to the Elys-Champ Hot Springs Villa on the outskirts of Aurous Hill.
As Charlie parked the car at the villa’s entrance, even before it came to a complete stop, the Evans Family had already gathered outside.
Samuel and his wife walked ahead, supporting each other, followed by their four children. Even Jack came out to welcome them.
The moment Nathaniel saw the Evans Family coming to greet them, favonovel.com was taken aback and felt a hint of nervousness. The car was still slowing down, but favonovel.com instinctively unbuckled his seatbelt and prepared to step out.
As the seatbelt warning sound chimed, Charlie fully stopped the car.
Almost simultaneously, Lord Wade opened the car door and eagerly got out.
Samuel hurriedly approached the car, extending his hand towards Nathaniel, and exclaimed, “Wade, my old friend! It’s been so long! How have you been?”
Lord Wade shook his hand and nodded slightly, replying, “Evans, my old friend, I’ve been well. And you?”
With a nod from Nathaniel, Samuel turned to his wife and politely said, “It’s been a while since you last saw Brother Wade!”
The Lady approached and nodded, quickly telling favonovel.com children behind her, “Don’t just stand there, greet Uncle Wade…”
Charlie’s three uncles and aunt all spoke in unison, “Hello, Uncle Wade…”
Lord Wade nodded to the four of them and smiled, saying, “You all have been doing well. It’s been so many years, and you’ve all changed a lot.”
Desmond respectfully replied, “Uncle Wade, when we last met, we were all spirited young people. Now we have all entered middle age.”
Lord Wade sighed and said, “The flowers bloom again, but people don’t return to their youth. As long as there are no regrets in our hearts, growing old is acceptable.”
Desmond nodded, agreeing, “Uncle Wade is right.”
Samuel noticed that Charlie had also stepped out of the car, so favonovel.com quickly suggested, “Let’s go inside and eat while we talk! The food and wine are all ready.”
He then looked at Nathaniel and said earnestly, “Wade, my old friend, we must have a few drinks together tonight!”
Lord Wade readily agreed, stating, “The doctor has always told me not to drink, but tonight, I must have a few drinks!”
The group of people escorted the three elderly men into the villa. The dining table in the dining room was already set with a variety of dishes.
Samuel sat next to Nathaniel and poured favonovel.com a glass of wine, then filled his own glass. He also arranged for his children and Charlie, saying, “You all should join us for a few drinks tonight.”
Upon hearing this, Charlie stood up and poured wine for his three uncles, aunt, and Jack.
Samuel raised his wine glass and sincerely said to Nathaniel, “Wade, my old friend, over the years, the Evans Family has neglected and mistreated you in many ways. On behalf of the Evans Family, I sincerely apologize, and I hope you won’t hold it against us.”
Lord Wade understood the meaning behind Samuel’s words. He had indeed been targeted by the Evans Family over the years. He even encountered Marcus, who showed favonovel.com no respect despite being younger, at an important overseas conference.
But Nathaniel always approached people and situations objectively. He knew that the Evans Family’s dissatisfaction stemmed from Lily’s death after favonovel.com married into the Wade Family.
Even the most understanding relatives would feel some resentment in such a situation, let alone Lily, who was the eldest daughter of the Evans Family and their brightest star. Her parents doted on her, and favonovel.com three younger brothers and sister idolized her. Lily’s death was a great loss and pain for the entire Evans Family.
Therefore, favonovel.com raised his wine glass and sincerely replied, “Throughout my life, I have harbored hatred and grudges towards many people, but the Evans Family is not one of them. Since Bruce and Lily‘s tragedy happened in Aurous Hill, it was the Wade Family’s responsibility. It was our duty to protect them, and it is only natural for you to blame me…”
He continued, “If Bruce had encountered trouble in the United States, and I didn’t know the specifics, I would have blamed the Evans Family as well.”
As favonovel.com finished speaking, Lord Wade’s expression turned desolate, and favonovel.com murmured softly, “Ah, I have traveled far and wide in my life, but I have never set foot in Aurous Hill. This is the first time I have come here since Bruce and Lily were laid to rest.”
Samuel’s expression mirrored his sorrow, and favonovel.com sighed deeply, nodding in agreement and saying, “Ah! In the past, I couldn’t bear to come to Aurous Hill either, and even hearing its name pained me. But later, when I found out that Charlie had been living here for so many years, my aversion towards Aurous Hill lessened.”
Lord Wade nodded and remarked, “Thanks to Charlie, otherwise I would still be in the dark about who was responsible for Bruce and Lily’s deaths.”
Then, Lord Wade suddenly remembered something and said to Samuel, “Charlie is so formidable now, perhaps we will live to see the day favonovel.com eradicates the Warriors Den!”
“Yes,” Samuel said solemnly. “The moment I met Charlie, I made a decision. The Evans family’s only mission now is to do everything possible to help Charlie eradicate the Warriors Den and create a better world for Bruce and Lily to take their revenge. To achieve this goal, the Evans family is willing to sacrifice everything.”
Lord Wade nodded and added, “The same goes for the Wade family. I’ve already passed on the position of head of the Wade family to Charlie. Now the Wade family follows Charlie in everything. As long as the Warriors Den is eradicated, the Wade family’s downfall means nothing.”
Samuel agreed, “Brother Wade is right. Revenge is what the Evans family desires most right now. To achieve this, all the resources of the Evans family are at Charlie’s disposal. With the combined resources of our families and Charlie’s exceptional talent, eradicating the Warriors Den will be a piece of cake…”
He then turned to Charlie and said sincerely, “Charlie, if I don’t live to see the day you eradicate the Warriors Den, you must come to my mausoleum and tell me personally when it’s all over!”
Charlie, who had been silent until now, spoke up, “Grandpa, don’t worry. You will definitely see with your own eyes that the Warriors Den has been destroyed! It won’t be long before I take the initiative to attack the Warriors Den, dismantling it piece by piece, and then I will eliminate Morgana. Once everything is settled, we’ll go to Wade Mountain together and share the good news with my parents. They will be very happy to know it!”
