Ashley and Curtis’s only son, Charlie, had gone missing twenty years ago as well.
Everyone felt as if they had been blindly searching for twenty years worldwide, and this time, it felt as if they had finally grasped something.
Christian blurted out impatiently, “Tell us about the entry times of these sixteen people in detail!”
Azure hastily responded, “Among these sixteen people, fourteen joined at the end of winter in February twenty years ago, and their previous dean, Killian Caito, joined in the fall in November twenty years ago. Aside from these fifteen people, the latest entry was a female worker who joined in winter in December twenty years ago. It will be twenty years in another three months.”
Lady Acker suddenly had an extremely horrified expression. She burst into tears and sobbed as she said, “Ashley and Curtis left Eastcliff and came to Aurous Hill in March twenty years ago. They met with their accident at the end of October, and Charlie disappeared at the end of October as well.”
Keith stood up excitedly and said somewhat incoherently, “This must be Curtis’s arrangement! He has always been good at making preparations in advance. Those fourteen people arrived earlier than him and Ashley, which proves that he hadn't set out yet but had already started making arrangements in Aurous Hill in advance!”
He continued with even more excitement, trembling as he said, “He must have known that his and Ashley’s arrival in Aurous Hill was fraught with danger, so he planted his people in the welfare institute in advance. After he and Ashley met with an accident, the other side undoubtedly used methods rehearsed countless times in advance to place Charlie in this welfare institute! For so many years, so many people have come to Aurous Hill, searching for Charlie, but no one would have thought that he was living in Aurous Hill, right under their noses all this while!”
At this point, he sighed emotionally and said, “Who would have thought that Charlie, whom everyone was searching all over for, was actually arranged into a seemingly normal welfare institute like this? This move not only deceived everyone looking for Charlie but probably also kept Charlie himself in the dark for a very long time!”
After saying that, he sighed deeply, “Ashley, oh Ashley, why didn’t you tell me that you left an escape route for Charlie in advance twenty years ago? Do you really not trust me at all?”
Just as Keith was sighing, a sudden exclamation came from outside the window, “There’s an assassin! Hurry, protect Lord Acker and Lady Acker!”
As soon as the voice fell, the clear and melodious sound of a sword could be heard around the villa. In an instant, multiple people screamed, and the smell of blood enveloped the entire villa from all sides!
Merlin felt his heart skip a beat as he thought in horror, ‘The formidable opponent Mr. Wade mentioned is really here!”
