The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

After saying that, she could not help but answer her own question, "The odds are that this should be the case!"

Vera's guess was correct.

After Stephen arranged for Charlie to be placed in the orphanage, he gave Charlie a new identity. Although his new identity was still Charlie Wade, it was no longer the Charlie of the Wade family from Eastcliff. Instead, he was a boy with no parents and was adopted by Aurous Hill Welfare Institute.

His household registration was placed on the collective household registration of the Aurous Hill Welfare Institute, which was the case for all children adopted by the orphanage.

Therefore, he naturally had a new identification number that belonged to Aurous Hill.

This way, neither the Wade nor the Acker families would be able to find him anymore, and the only person who could find him was Stephen.

The old man said, "If someone changed his identity, this previous information would not reveal any details then. You have to know his new identity's name and identification number to find out his information."

Vera frowned and said, "If someone helped him settle down in a foreign place and get a foreign account and identity, his actual encrypted identity would not be his identity before his disappearance but his new identity after his disappearance."

As Vera said this, she added, "I understand now... Someone hid Charlie's whereabouts after he disappeared twenty years ago, got him anew identity, and hid the information of his new identity so the previous Charlie would have disappeared at the age of eight. Then, a new Charlie would appear in a new place, and no one else would be able to find him aside from the person who encrypted his

information in the first place."

The old man hesitated momentarily but still spoke up and said, "Miss, it's still not a hundred percent certain that the Charlie you're looking for is this person! What if this missing Charlie simply resembles the person you're looking for? Wouldn't this speculation be misleading, then? After all, a child's features wouldn't be fully matured, and it's normal for them to resemble others. It's likely for a child's appearance to develop in a very different direction after adolescence."

Vera nodded and said seriously, "You have a point. Although my intuition tells me that the Charlie I'm looking for should be the same person who disappeared twenty years ago, I cannot simply rety too much on my intuition for this kind of thing! It's indeed a little hasty for me to confirm the truth based on the resemblance from a childhood photo."

As she thought of this, she blinked as if she had remembered something and said with a smile, "By the way, can you help me to retrieve Curtis and Ashley's file information?"noveldrama

The old man said, "I can retrieve Curtis' information but not Ashley's because she's a citizen of the United States. The investigation will only find some official files of her and Curtis after they married and stayed in Oskia."

"That's fine." Vera said, "I just need a photo of the two of them."

"That wouldn't be a problem." The old man hurriedly retrieved Curtis and Ashley's information from the system.

When Vera saw the handsome black and white photo in Curtis's file, her tightly knitted brows instantly relaxed!

She could not help but clapped her hands in excitement as she laughed and said, "Haha! My intuition was right! It's really him! The Charlie I'm looking for looks almost exactly the same as Curtis!"
