At this moment, at the abandoned warehouse at the outskirts of the city. 3
Carmen, who had previously been afraid to reveal her own identity, could not be bothered about that anymore. 1
When she saw that Donald did not believe her, she hurriedly blurted out, "Mr. Webb, I am truly the eldest daughter of the Wade family from Eastcliff. As for the fact you have just mentioned about Charlie growing u p in the orphanage, I do not deny it at all. In fact, Charlie's situation is very special. His father was Curtis Wade-the famous and reputable Curtis Wade from back then. You must have heard of him before, right?"

At that time, Donald had still been in Sudbury. So, he never had the opportunity to meet Curtis in person. H e had only heard about Curtis's many good deeds. 6
So, how could he possibly know if Charlie and Curtis looked alike?!
At this time, Carmen had no choice but to say, "You already saw my identification card just now. My name is Carmen Wade. I am a native of Eastcliff. My last name is Wade. I have two elder brothers and two
