Was it Lord Jeremiah Wade? Or could it be his eldest uncle, Clayton, or some other member of the Wade family?
In Charlie’s opinion, Porter was about the same age as himself. So, if it was really the Wade family who had caused his parents' deaths, this must have happened a t least ten to twenty years ago.
At that time, in addition to his grandfather and uncle, there was another mainstay in the Wade family, and that was his own father, Curtis.
Therefore, Charlie could not help but secretly wonder i f Porter's enemy could be his own father?
However, Zayne would not know the answer to this question. So, it would be pointless for Charlie to ask him about it. 3
Immediately after that, Charlie suddenly thought of the Wade family's upcoming ancestor worship ceremony.
If Porter suddenly decided to seek revenge on the Wade family at this time, could it be that he had specifically chosen to seek his revenge during the ancestor worship ceremony, then?
After all, this was a grand ceremony that the Wade
family only held once every twelve years. If he had such an underlying grudge against the Wade family, it would only be logical for him to choose to exact his revenge on the Wade family on this very day.
So, Charlie asked Zayne, "Did Porter Waldron make any demands to you such as telling you which day you would have to arrive in Eastcliff?"
Zayne nodded repeatedly and said, "He did. He said that I would have to arrive in Eastcliff by April 3rd."
"April 3rd..." Charlie's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a trace of coldness in his eyes as he said," The Tomb Sweeping Festival is on April 5th.
According to what you have just said, Porter Waldron must be thinking of doing something on the day of the Tomb Sweeping Festival, then."
Charlie asked him, "Have you ever heard of a man named Porter Waldron?" 3
"Porter Waldron?" Stephen thought for a moment and said, "Young Master, I have never heard of this name before."
Porter's father, Leonardo, was not well-known in Eastcliff, and he was nothing more than a lackey who was constantly by Sheldon’s side. Moreover, when he had met with an accident, his son, Porter, was just a child. Therefore, not many people knew about him. 2
Charlie asked again, "Then, let me ask you, did the Wade family have any conflicts or contradictions with anyone with the last name Waldron about ten to twenty years ago?"
"Last name Waldron?" Stephen thought for a moment before he spoke up, "Yes! There was a man named Leonardo Waldron, a lackey who was always by Sheldon Schulz's side back then. He had some conflicts with your father because he wanted to stand up for Sheldon Schulz. Later on, he competed with your father in the business market, but he ended up losing everything, and his family went bankrupt. After that, he committed suicide by jumping off the building, and his wife subsequently committed suicide by poisoning herself..."
"Your father has always felt very guilty over this matter. Although it was Leonardo Waldron who had taken the initiative to provoke your father and although your father defeated him in an upright and righteous manner in the business market, your father still felt that he had a certain amount of responsibility for Leonardo Waldron's death..." 5
