The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 1613

Charlie was not overly wary of Stephen, because based on his observation, he could tell that Stephen had no ill will toward him. In fact, it was all thanks to Stephen's secret protection that he was able to grow up safely in Aurous Hill.

Stephen had had the chance to harm him. If he had indeed held evil intentions toward him, he would have done it the first time he had a chance to, but he hadn't.

Therefore, Charlie had absolute trust in Stephen. He was also one of the few people that Charlie trusted. Thus, he was going to contact Stephen for a meetup to learn some details about the past. 6 At this moment, Stephen was at the Wade Organization. 4

In the executive conference room of the company, all the members of the Wade family were gathered there for the family meeting. 5

The one who chaired the meeting was Jeremiah Wade, Charlie's grandfather, and also the patriarch of the Wade family. 4

Nearly twenty of the Wade family members were sitting rigidly upright in the conference room. 5

At this moment, Jeremiah said with a lamenting face," Old Master Lennard left in a hurry yesterday. He went directly to the airport from Mount Wintry. I didn't

even get to see him before he left. What a pity." 4

Clayton Wade, Charlie's uncle, asked, "Father, did you ask us to come here because of Old Master Lennard's return to the United States?"

Jeremiah waved his hand and said, "Master Lennard told me a long time ago that the reason why he stayed in Eastcliff and Oskia after the construction of Mount Wintry was completed was to wait for his fatefu meeting. Now that he's gone, it must be that the meeting he was looking forward to had arrived."

Everyone nodded. One of Charlie's cousins asked," Grandpa, what is so important that you've asked us to come today?" s

The last time Lord Wade had gathered the entire Wade family for a meeting was when he had decided to move the ancestral tomb to Mount Wintry. It would be a hassle for such a large-scale meeting, as the family's business empire was too diversified and vast that all their descendants were in charge of different divisions and scattered all over the country. If it was not extremely important, there was no need to bring everyone together.

Jeremiah sighed and said, "At first, Master Lennard told me that after the dragon stranding predicament was broken, our family would have the opportunity to burst out of our restrictions and rise to another level, but I still couldn't figure out where the opportunity is, and in what form it would come." 6

Everyone exchanged confused and befuddled glances with each other for a moment.

The Wade family was the second top family in the country in terms of their current performance, second only to the Schulz family. If they were able to take their family to the next level, would it mean that they would be able to surpass the Schulz family and become the top family in the country? s

Everyone started to get a little worked up upon thinking of this.

Caleb Wade, Charlie's third uncle, said, "Father, did Master Lennard reveal any general clues about this? For example, where exactly is this opportunity going to present itself? On whom? Or from where can we find out about it?" 1

Jeremiah shook his head and said, "He only said that the precious opportunity would be bestowed upon the Wade family one day, but he didn't say anything about where, when, who, and how. He simply said that he couldn't reveal too much of natural law!" 3

Clayton pursed his lips in agitation and said, "That's too broad a scope. We can't possibly find a clue even if we wanted to." 5

Jeremiah said, "If we can't find it, we have to figure out a way to take the initiative and conduct a comprehensive search." 3

Then, he added, "I've been thinking about a question for the past two days, and that is how our family can overtake the Schulz family." "Overtake the Schulz family?"
