Sebastian Thompson heard the news released by Daniel Marshall, but he did not inform his sister, fearing it would unsettle her and cause harm. He could secretly approach Joseph Charles on his own.
If he found the person, he could deal with it himself, without soiling his sister's hands. He was determined to protect his sister and Matthew Marshall, as they were the hope for the resurgence of the Thompson family.
Being cautious about Daniel releasing this news at this time, Sebastian Thompson was afraid it was a trap. He was also worried that Daniel would persistently attack his sister with malicious slander.
Back then, Joseph Charles had received a substantial sum of money and had sworn that he would never reappear in their lives.
Such amount of money should be enough to sustain Joseph Charles for his lifetime. If the damn guy was not greedy, he should have had the wit to change his appearance and lie low, hiding far away without anyone knowing his whereabouts.
