Stephen quickly said, "Mr. Charlie, I have an idea. Would you like to hear it?"
Charlie replied, "Of course. Fire away."
Stephen started, "Mr. Charlie, if you want to make those in Eastcliff who have failed your father pay, you must first take the Wade family firmly into your hands, and then make a detailed and complete plan to swipe at them one by one!" 8
Charlie asked, "If I had the Wade family in my hands, which family do you think I should strike first?"
"The Schulz!" Stephen replied without any hesitation.
"The Schulz family is the most powerful and wealthiest at the moment. Destroying them is equivalent to achieving half of your goal. Besides, the people who slandered your father behind his back were all assembled by the Schulz family. They had formed a group called the Anti-Wade Alliance where the Schulz family was the leader." 7
"Anti-Wade Alliance?" Charlie sneered, "What a name!
I won't stop pursuing the Schulz family then, I swear!” 5
Stephen said, "By the way, today, Lord Wade called a meeting with all the family members. They talked about you and the Schulz family." 4 "Oh?" Charlie frowned and asked, "What did they talk
about?"
Stephen looked at Quinn hesitantly and continued, "I'll be honest. Since Old Master Lennard helped the Wade family repair Mount Wintry, Lord Wade has been waiting for the Wade family to soar toward success for the second time. Now that the old master has left, he has put that hope on you. He wants you to come back and marry the daughter of the Schulz family." 6
"The Schulz family?!” Charlie and Quinn shouted in unison, both shocked and bewildered.
"Yes, the Schulz family!" Stephen sighed and said," Sophie Schulz is very pampered and valued in the Schulz family. Whoever marries her will surely get a lot of resources from the Schulz family, so Lord Wade wanted you to come back, and he asked me to persuade you." 5
With that, he glanced at Quinn again and said awkwardly, "Lord Wade also said that if the Schulz family does not agree, Miss Golding is a perfect candidate..." i
Quinn blushed in embarrassment.
Unmoved, Charlie said in a cold voice, "When my father was accused and defamed, instead of providing us shelter and protection, he kicked us out of the family. Now, he dares to ask me to help the Wade family to soar toward success?! Dream on!" 5
Stephen nodded and said, "Yes, I agree that Lord Wade has gone too far this time, but you don’t have to be
annoyed by it. Instead, see it as the opportunity to beat him at his own game. You can agree to his terms by fulfilling the wedding arrangement with Miss Golding, then take the opportunity to ask him for more resources from the Wade family. It would be even better if you become the next patriarch of the family. I t would unquestionably increase your chances of winning when you deal with the Schulz family in the future!”
