The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

"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 to the Wade family and expose you to the other members of the Wade family, he might not be able to protect you comprehensively. Thus, I decided on my own to settle you down in Aurous Hill before I proceeded to completely 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 clooking for you back then." 7 Charlie asked again, "Why did you cand findto askto go back to the Wade family stago, 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 of 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 becan heir. He gave you the Emgrand Group and the ten billion dollars 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 dollars 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 tis right, I will definitely investigate and look into the hidden circumstances of my parents' murder in the past. When the tcomes, 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 SuprOne 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 becthe 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 income. 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 a comeback 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 According to the rules in the casinos in Macau, no matter what you bet on, if you lost, you would have to accept 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 dollars 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 gambling completely 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 had cto 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 becthe 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 no 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-class family could give to an outsider. 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 beceven 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...
