Mrs. Sun quickly asked, "Are you saying we should tell Claire… everything?""Yes," Ashley said solemnly. "It's time to make her aware of Charlie's current situation, that he can't keep looking behind his back all the time. If she leaves him—even briefly, it would definitely be in everyone's interest."Mrs. Sun nodded and asked, "Well, how should we tell Claire? And we'd need to be persuasive… Should I go?""No," Ashley refused solemnly right then. "To society, you're merely a missing person who vanished years ago. Even if you showed up suddenly in front of Claire and told her such things, she might not necessarily believe you."Mrs. Sun tilted her head in thought. "Well, who would be the right person for the job?""If there is anyone up to task, it'd be Stephen Thompson," Ashley replied. "If it's the Wades or the Ackers… Well, they can be persuasive, but Charlie will get upset if he finds out. We shouldn't let our own family play the villains here, so we just have to ask Stephen t

The night skies of Eastcliff were bright but exceedingly cold.Charlie lay in bed, tossing and turning, losing his sleep.The past, present, and future kept overlapping in his mind, leaving his thoughts a mess.-Meanwhile, in the temple on top of Mount Pantro, thousands of miles away, a woman as beautiful as a painting was seated on the garden armchair, gazing up at the boundless stars.Even though she was long past fifty, there were barely any wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.Naturally, it was Ashley Acker, Charlie's mother.The elderly but robust Mrs. Sun hurried into the garden just then, bowing her head respectfully as she said, "Ma'am. Stephen Thompson's man reported from the Wades' residence that your father-in-law… had a discussion with your son earlier.""Oh, and what about?" Ashley asked in curiosity."About Ms. Golding, Ma'am," Mrs. Sun replied.Ashley smiled tenderly. "Oh, Quinn… And regarding what, specifically?"As Mrs. Sun told Ashley everything, Ashley wa

Nodding, Charlie said, "I'll tell her when I see her and ask her if she'd like to visit.""Good!" Jeremiah laughed cheerfully. "Well, it's dinner in this house tomorrow… Oh, and since Quinn is coming, why not invite her parents too?"Charlie was at once uneasy. "What are you up to, Gramps?"Jeremiah chuckled. "Nothing. It's been a while since we've all had dinner together, and there's no problem with inviting friends over for dinner, right?"Charlie sighed in exasperation. "It's your call, but I think you should call Mr. Golding personally if you want to invite him over. I'd rather not have to play messenger.""Sure thing!" Jeremiah nodded without hesitation. "Once you pick Quinn up from the airport, go visit Yule and his wife, and I'll call him in the afternoon to invite him over. I'm sure he won't refuse.""Alright," Charlie nodded and stayed silent.He was completely on the back foot, and anything he said would be used against him.So, he simply stopped talking.Jeremiah th

Jeremiah's earnest talk only left Charlie in despair.He had never considered the issue before in-depth—it was just not necessary to make that choice at this time, and there was no ideal solution.But Jeremiah was right about one thing.If Charlie did succeed in taking down Fleur Griffin and the Qing Eliminating Society, he could make his triumphant return to the fold of the Wade family.Then, he would make it known to the world that the son of Curtis Wade and Ashley Acker lives.But when that day came, what would he tell Claire?She would find out—it was just a matter of time, and the thought left Charlie weary.Lies beget more lies, and he had been lying from the start. Not only did he lie to Claire about who he was, but he had also lied about many other things, including about his parents.Other matters aside, he was the one who had had Elaine thrown in prison for stealing his debit card and wiring all his savings to her own account. While Claire had been worrying, he had be

Pausing, Jeremiah continued, "When that happens, how much flak do you think they would give Ms. Wilson? And the legions of fans who admire Quinn so zealously, who are eager to see you tie the knot with her. Have you considered the idea that they would mob her? And run their mouths in her presence?"Charlie really couldn't argue against Jeremiah, because his grandfather was right.Claire simply wasn't a celebrity like Quinn and didn't have legions of fans like Quinn.Over the years in show business, Quinn had had no scandals or rumors affecting her. Everyone knew that she was the only daughter of a millionaire family, and that she wasn't working in showbiz for fame or the money, but to seek her lost fiancé.It was such a refreshing change that countless people quickly became her fans, and one might even say that there was no one else like her in showbiz. Naturally, there were other celebrities who had worked in show business for decades without scandals, too, but they would often

Charlie was stunned speechless. "Yule's entire family?!"After a while, he asked, "But why make such a decision? It's so unfair to Quinn, and I am not worthy enough for them to go that far…"Jeremiah sighed wryly. "I don't get it myself. I've even tried reasoning with Yule, but he insists that he has made up his mind and even asked me to talk to you about it. What more can I say?"Charlie remained flustered. "I mean, this just isn't the solution! Have they not considered how terrible the backlash would be for Quinn if word spreads? Even when she retires from showbiz, her influence will remain for sure—both the public and the media will be watching!"Jeremiah shook his head. "Don't worry about that. Yule has already thought of a solution. Years ago, he bought a private island in the Maldives, which he planned to develop as a resort. But now, he's planning to cancel those plans and simply use it as a private residence."Once Quinn gets pregnant, Yule will bring his wife and Quinn ov
