Yule did not ask anyone else to follow him. He got up by himself and went out to the entrance.

As soon as he saw Stephen, he hurriedly stepped forward and shook hands with him as he smiled and said, "Stephen! It has already been a while! You're here in Eastcliff, but you don't come to see me often!" Stephen said respectfully, "Chairman Golding! I've been very busy lately. I've not visited you in a while, and your complexion is getting better and better!"

Yule nodded and laughed as he said, "It's all thanks to Charlie. Otherwise, you would have to visit me at my grave already."

"Yes!" Stephen nodded heavily and spoke up, "To this day, Young Master Charlie's abilities are already unfathomable!"

Yule sighed. He was still holding onto Stephen's hand as he said seriously, "Stephen, it's all thanks to you for secretly protecting Charlie for so many years. I, Yule Golding, will never forget your kindness in this lifetime!" 2 Stephen bowed sincerely and with humility as he said, "Chairman Golding, you're too kind... This is all within my duty. Master Curtis had shown me such grace and kindness, so even though it is naturally the right thing for me to do, I would do it even at the expense of my own life!"

Yule said resolutely, "Stephen, you are really a sentimental and righteous man! My brother Curtis did not misjudge you back then!"

Stephen smiled faintly and said respectfully," Chairman Golding, if you want to talk about being sentimental and righteous, I think that you are much more sentimental and righteous as compared to me!"

Yule sighed and said, "Sigh! Stephen! It is precisely because we are both sentimental and righteous people that you have to come and see me more often! Both of us were by Curtis's side back then, and we have both received his kindness and favor. We both have shared common experiences and topics, so we should often drink together to reminisce."

As he spoke, Yule then spoke frankly, "Stephen, to tell you the truth, you've always been a friend in my heart, and I believe that Curtis has always regarded you as a friend too!"

When Stephen heard these words, he could not help but feel extremely moved deep in his heart, and his eyes flushed red.

Back then, although he was always following Curtis around and would often come into contact with Yule, he had felt that he was Curtis' subordinate, whereas Yule was Curtis' brother.

Therefore, he had always felt that his status was much lower as compared to Yule.

Thus, Stephen had not dared to take the initiative to contact Yule after Curtis' death because he felt that it might seem as though he was trying to make friends with someone who was obviously of a higher social position as compared to him. 3 However, when he saw that Yule was truly speaking from the bottom of his heart, he said earnestly, "Okay, Chairman Golding! As long as you do not think that I am a bother, I will definitely come and replace you for a drink often in the future!" 2

Yule nodded repeatedly. "It's a done deal! You can come anytime as long as I am in Eastcliff!"

"Okay!" Stephen agreed. After that, he asked, "By the way, Chairman Golding, is Young Master Charlie ready? He has to arrive at the Wade family's old mansion before 9.30 am. The representatives from the Wade family's collateral family will be arriving one after the other after 9.30 am. It will be a crucial day for the young master today."

Upon hearing this, Yule raised his brows slightly. He looked at Stephen and asked seriously, "Stephen, you've been secretly protecting Charlie for so many years. This is the day that you've been waiting for, right?" "Yes!" Stephen said firmly, "Chairman Golding, I'm going to be honest with you. After I personally enshrined Master Curtis back then, I, Stephen Thompson, have only been living for two things!"

"The first is to witness Young Master Charlie taking over the Wade family!"

"The second is to witness Young Master Charlie avenging Master Curtis and the mistress!"

When Yule heard this, he clasped his hand tightly with Stephen again as he said with great determination, "Stephen! I think exactly the same way as you do!"

Stephen was startled for a moment.

After that, he could not help but sigh and say, "Chairman Golding, my only worry is that Young Master Charlie has always wanted to draw a clear line with the Wade family. If h e has always been thinking that way, he will probably feel disdain, and he will not have any intentions of taking over the Wade family at all."

Yule laughed out loud and said, "Stephen, you can rest assured! I drank for a few hours with Charlie

yesterday, and I told him all about et

Curtis' situation back then. He has thoroughly understood Curtis legacy, and he has also decided that he would have to become the head

of the Wade family!"

Stephen was extremely surprised as he said," Seriously?! That... That is really great news, then! Based on Young Master Charlie's strength and capabilities, I believe that given time, he will definitely become the head of the Wade family!" 5
