Chapter 493: Chapter 493



Upon receiving the photos, Wade remained utterly unfazed.

“What did you tell them?” he asked.

The owner answered honestly. Although he spoke at length, there were few valuable clues to be gleaned.

Did Katherine and Shawn think that uncovering his mother would lead them to him? Absurd.

“Convey everything you just shared with me to the Potter family, verbatim,” Wade instructed.

“Yes, sir. And the remuneration for this transaction is…?”

“Two hundred thousand, transferred to your account as before.” Two hundred thousand could buy this entire newspaper stand.

“Got it!”

The call concluded, and Wade emitted a chilling laugh.

As he lived overseas, burdened by a multitude of daily responsibilities and drained from caring for the child, he had little time to contend with Shawn and Katherine. It was far better to entrust the matter to the Potter family, who also sought to locate his mother.

Chris approached, concern etched on his face.

“Wade, Ryland has been crying incessantly.”

Wade replied, “Alright. I’ll take care of it.”

Chris didn’t know how to soothe the inconsolable child. He lacked practical experience and didn’t possess the physical prowess that Wade had. Despite his diligent efforts, he was unable to pacify Ryland, but in Wade’s adept hands, the child gradually calmed, and tranquility returned to the atmosphere.

“You’re amazing, Wade.”

Wade discerned the underlying frustration in Chris’ voice and offered a reassuring gesture of comfort.

“Just practical experience. When Mom was frequently absent, I took care of you. It was always a matter of hunger or thirst, easily discernible.”

“Speaking of which, it’s been ages since we last saw Mom.” Chris was suddenly overtaken by a surge of nostalgia. Being in a foreign land intensified his yearning for the people and familiar comforts of home.

“Wade, is Mom doing well now?”

Wade’s eyes darkened.

“Yes, she’s doing well.”

After finally lulling Ryland to sleep, Wade summoned Chris into the study.

“Take them.” He motioned to a collection of documents spread across the desk.

Chris picked them up, astonished to discover they were new identity papers. Wade had meticulously orchestrated an entirely new identity for him in this place.

“Wade, what is this?”

Wade clasped his hands together, falling into a contemplative silence for a moment.

“I promised you that you would lead a new life. Now, the time has come for you to forge your own path.”

Chris was stunned.

“Wade, are you driving me out?”
