Chapter 4122
Emotions welled up in his chest as he lamented that fact. He asked Janus, "Uncle Janus, how did you end up in New York afterwards?"
Janus flashed Charlie a wry smile. "After Master Curtis's death, I secretly went to Aurous Hill to mourn. When I was about to return to Hong Kong, the man who wanted to kill me before happened to catch wind of his death as well. He immediately issued another order to take my life. I realized I couldn't return to Hong Kong, so I could smuggle myself from Oskia to the United States. I've been staying here ever since..."
Janus then asked Charlie, "Where have you been all these years, Young Master Wade? Mr. Golding traveled to almost every corner of the world in order to find you. He even came to the United States several times. I also helped him to look for you here, but to no avail..." Quinn added her two cents. "Brother Charlie! When my father and I came to New York to look for you, Uncle Janus was the one who welcomed us. Right here in this restaurant!"
Having said that, she looked at Janus with a smile. "I remember when I first came to your place with my dad, Uncle Janus. I was just eight years old. The last time I came here was when I was twenty years old. I'm already twenty six now, but your place still hasn't changed at all." Janus gave her a faint smile. "I'm the kind of person who finds it difficult to change after I've gotten used to something. To put it bluntly, I am just lazy."
Quinn looked at Charlie and explained, Brother Charlie. When I came to the United States with my father to look for you in the past, Uncle Janus's place would always be our first stop. Uncle Janus's roast goose tastes exceptionally good!"
Janus couldn't care less about modesty. He shot the most crucial question without beating around the bush. "Miss Golding, how and where did you find Young Master Wade?"
Charlie was the one who replied. "I've been in Aurous Hill all along, Uncle Campbell."
Janus was dumbfounded. Shocked, he stood up and exclaimed in a fluster, "How could that be?! Many people, including Mr. Golding, have gone to Aurous Hill to look for you at the beginning! But none found any clues!"
Charlie then narrated how Stephen had arranged for him to stay in the orphanage.
Janus sighed ruefully after he listened to the whole story. "I've met Stephen Thompson a few times before. I thought he was a straightforward and righteous man, albeit rather rough. I didn't expect him to be so crafty! He's amazing at hiding you! His concealment strategy is a whole nother level."
Quinn grinned. "Uncle Janus, can we talk while we eat? I'm starving!"
Janus quickly said, "Oh, dear! My bad. Yes, yes. Miss Golding and Young Master Wade, do relax. TH go to the kitchen and prepare the meal."
Having said that, he glanced at Charlie with an embarrassed look. "Young Master Wade, this little shop of mine doesn't have a lot of dishes. I'll serve my food for you to taste. You don't need to order anything!"
Charlie replied politely, "Thank you, Uncle Campbell. I must apologize for the trouble."
"It's only right for me to do so! Do have a seat and enjoy your time together. I'll be right back!"
So saying, Janus turned around and ran downstairs in a hurry.
Quinn looked at Charlie with a smile. She dropped her voice and asked in a whisper," Brother Charlie, are you confused?"
Charlie smiled faintly and nodded. "A little ... I thought you were just asking me out for a meal. I really don't know how to react..."
Quinn's smile widened. She took out her cell phone from her pocket and handed it to Charlie. "Brother Charlie, my father told me to let you listen to this when you arrive."
Charlie was surprised once more. He looked at the cell phone and saw a WhatsApp screen revealing Quinn's conversation with her father. Yule.
There was a voice message at the
bottom. Charlie took the cell phone
and was about to click play when Quinn quickly reminded him, "Brother Charlie, listen with the
earpiece mode."
Charlie nodded. He clicked play, and put the cell phone against his ear the moment the message started.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Yule's solemn voice could be heard."
Charlie, your father once told me
that the one who can win over Janus Campbel will rule the world. He is an outstanding talent that you
absolutely cannot let go! No matter
how, you must persuade him to help you!"
