As soon as Jeremiah said this, the entire audience gaped in astonishment!
Curtis's son... wasn't that Charlie?!
In reality, back when Jeremiah had asked Stephen to purchase the Emgrand Group in Aurous Hill and give i t to Charlie, even extending an invitation to welcome Charlie back to the family, everyone knew that Charlie was still alive.
Apart from Jeremiah, everyone else was very wary of Charlie and even repelled him, fearing that he would return to Eastcliff and compete with them for the Wade family's inheritance and power.
Fortunately, Charlie had refused Stephen's request and did not return to the Wade family, so everyone had been relieved and gradually put their guards down.
However, even if Charlie decided not to return, everyone was still very agitated by the fact that Jeremiah had spent hundreds of billions on buying him the Emgrand Group. 8
Although the Wade family's assets exceeded a trillion dollars, they were a very large family.
Jeremiah had four sons and two daughters.
In addition to the untimely death of Curtis, his second son, the other three sons had a total of thirteen offsprings-seven sons and six daughters.
Although Jeremiah's two daughters were married, they held important positions in the Wade family's financial empire, so even if the inheritance was evenly distributed, it would be impossible for them to inherit 100 billion per person, given the large number o f heirs.
Therefore, many of the family members were envious when they found out that Charlie had obtained the Emgrand Group by himself. 9
