Once upon a time, Lily had been deeply concerned about how Charlie's personality, character and life perspective would take shape as he grew up.
As a mother, she naturally aspired to provide Charlie with the finest education, a nurturing environment, and impeccable guidance. However, reality dictated that she could only silently observe as Charlie grew up alongside other children in the orphanage. She could only watch in silence as Charlie, having graduated from high school, decided to work at a construction site, and she had no power to intervene.
In those early days, Lily had also fretted about whether the environment would warp Charlie's views, whether he would become overly materialistic, or if he'd become excessively driven by profit. Fortunately, somewhere between Charlie's affluent upbringing as a Young Master and his later life as a destitute orphan, he seemed to find a balance that aligned with Lily's own values.
This balance not only allowed him to maintain a healthy perspective on life and a strong sense of justice but also spared him from the excessively rigid moral standards imposed by his father, Bruce. To some extent, it mended the gaps in Bruce's character.
Much like the traditional succession process of the Wade family's patriarchal role, the passing of the torch should wait until the elder Lord Wade chose to retire. Then, the elder Lord Wade would personally designate the heir. If other children disagreed, they would need to find a way to sway the elder Lord Wade's decision, even if it meant resorting to ruthless measures. Maybe they'd even plot to eliminate the original heir first and then seize the throne themselves.
