As soon as anyone mentioned Curtis’s great name, all the middle-aged men from wealthy and powerful families in Eastcliff could only sigh. 4
This was because for these wealthy and powerful families, no amount of wealth was as important as a powerful and capable male offspring who would be able to bring the family to greater heights!
The business industry was just like a battlefield. Sometimes, a slight deviation might easily lead to the annihilation of an entire army, and they would be facing everlasting perdition then. Hence, this was the reason why many wealthy and powerful families would face endless ups and downs in the game, and many of them even chose to retreat from the historical arena. 3
If a family wanted to be prosperous, the amount of money or assets that they had in their hands was not important. What mattered the most was whether their descendants could continue producing talented and capable heirs. 6
The fact that the Wade family was extremely prosperous today was inseparable from the solid foundation that Curtis had laid down for the Wade family twenty years ago.
Therefore, everyone could only remember Curtis as the brightest moon deep down in their hearts. 5
Charlie never expected that both the brothers, Adrian and Rogan, would get down on one knee as soon as they heard his father's name. As he could see clearly that they were not being hypocritical but were indeed filled with respect for his father, his anger toward these two men was slightly relieved.
At this time, Adrian turned around and looked at his son, Wrigley, and his nephew, Wilhelm, and he said," Why aren't both of you kneeling and confessing to your own mistakes in front of Curtis’s son?" 6
Wrigley already understood everything that was happening in front of him.
Although he had not heard too many rumors about Curtis, he could already guess that Charlie was a direct descendant of the Wade family. 3
Although the Golding family was one of the top three families in Eastcliff, alongside the Wade family, the differences between the two families were still extremely vast.
Some people had even jokingly claimed that the so-called top three Eastcliff families were actually nothing more than two dragons playing with a pearl. 7
The two dragons were none other than the Wade family and the Schulz family, whereas the Golding family was nothing more than a pearl. 6
Charlie nodded slightly before he said coldly, "I will not hold it against you for insulting me earlier because of the respect you hold for my father."
As soon as they heard this, the four of them immediately heaved a huge sigh of relief.
Charlie immediately continued, "However, both of you brothers colluded and worked hand-in-hand to try and seize Uncle Golding's assets. You also intentionally released news that Uncle Golding was critically ill because you wanted to win over the other directors and try to usurp his position as chairman of the board. I want both of you to give Uncle Golding a perfect and clear solution to this matter. Otherwise, I will not let you off!” 2
Adrian already understood that his plan to take over his brother's position had already failed completely. 3
He knew that he would never be able to defeat his own elder brother and that he had already lost all of the loyalty and support from the other members of the board. It would be simply impossible for him to fight and go against his elder brother based on his third brother and his own capability and strength. In fact, it would be nothing more than a dream. The best solution right now was for him to acknowledge his own mistake and strive to return to the state they were in before this.
Thus, he immediately looked at Yule as he said sincerely, "Elder Brother, this is all my fault. I acted recklessly because I was blinded by greed. I admit that I was wrong, and I hope that you will punish me a s you deem fit. From today onward, I will get rid of all my attempts to take over your position, and I will serve and assist you wholeheartedly in the management of the Golding Group!"
