The Amazing son in law Chapter 7398

“charlie, you are now the patriarch of the Wade family. From now on, the family will follow your orders.”

Lord Wade naturally complied with charlie Wade’s decision.

Having already relinquished the position of patriarch, he had no objections.

Moreover, he understood that, to charlie Wade, the Wade family had become a minor concern.

After all, if charlie Wade wished, a single Rejuvenation Pill could generate wealth nearly equivalent to the entire family’s assets.

At that moment, Cynthia Wade, having composed herself and finished her makeup, hurried back.

As soon as she sat down, she silently prepared tea for everyone.

Lord Wade turned to her and said, “Cynthia, charlie plans to worship our ancestors at Yeling Mountain on Qingming Festival and take this opportunity to teach the Wade family an important lesson.”

Cynthia Wade was surprised. Ancestor worship was an annual tradition, so why was charlie Wade stirring things up this time?

However, she dared not question it and instead responded seriously, “It is only right for charlie to discipline the family. In recent years, many have gone too far. Unlike other families, we have no sense of unity.”

charlie Wade said calmly, “This time, I intend to make rewards and punishments crystal clear, balancing kindness with authority. Those who prioritize the Wade family’s interests over their own will receive more resources and benefits, along with my support in other areas. But anyone who puts personal gain above the family’s well-being will be expelled without hesitation.”

Lord Wade nodded. “Absolutely! I was too lenient before. I believed that as long as the family was prospering, it was best to let everyone enjoy the benefits without creating friction. But when powerful enemies came knocking, I realized that excessive kindness only breeds disloyalty. Sometimes, the more you accommodate your own family, the more they take advantage of you. The softer you appear, the bolder they become.”

Cynthia Wade suddenly had a moment of realization and said with shame, “Dad, you’re right. Even I used to prioritize my own interests. When my second brother provoked the Rothschild family, my eldest brother secretly convinced us to turn against him, aiming to drive him out of the family. He told us that only by severing all ties with my second brother could we shield the Wade family from retaliation. Otherwise, if a conflict broke out between the Rothschilds and the Wade family, we would all suffer tremendous losses.”

“At that time, I was only thinking of myself. Even as a daughter, I had a share in the Wade family’s assets, and I feared that any decline in our wealth would diminish my own worth…”

“Later, when Wan Pojun threatened to kill Ye Lingshan, my eldest brother and I both advocated surrendering. We believed that even if we had to give up half of our fortune, at least we could preserve the other half. In truth, we were acting out of self-interest. We feared being left with nothing and wanted to minimize our own losses…”

At this point, Cynthia Wade could no longer hold back her tears. Choking up, she said, “My biggest regret is not standing by my second brother from the start. Now that he’s gone, I want to apologize to him, but I no longer have the chance…”

Overcome with emotion, she found herself spiraling into deep regret and shame. Thinking back to the past and her current predicament, she felt nothing but sorrow.

Once her emotions took over, she couldn’t help but cry out loud.

charlie Wade observed her carefully—she was not putting on an act.

It seemed that his aunt was truly remorseful.

Recognizing one’s mistakes was, in itself, a sign of growth.
