They actually didn't want Charlotte Thompson to return to Druarus, they could better take care of her if she stayed in Ashton.
But there was no use, Charlotte's stance was firm, she insisted on going.
Her doting family members have always been helpless against her wishes, and so they had no choice but to agree.
"Brother, could you help me investigate that middle-aged man's information again? Especially his connections, who he used to interact with and so forth, the more detailed the better."
Pressed for time, Charlotte stumbled out her words.
"Why do you suddenly want to investigate him again?" Henry Thompson was somewhat perplexed, not understanding the change in her behavior.
Even though she hadn't mentioned a name, Henry immediately knew who she was talking about.
After the man passed away years ago, they had promised to keep this matter buried within their hearts, never to be mentioned again.
One reason was to prevent the child from feeling inferior for being adopted.
