Chapter 6320
Charlie was unsure why his mother had come to that conclusion back then, but he found himself agreeing with Maria’s perspective. One way to discern the essence of things is through clues, while another method involves understanding the underlying logic. The former was epitomized by Jack, while the latter had previously embodied Maria, though Charlie now understood that his mother also belonged to this category.

However, at the time, Stanford dismissed her judgment, concluding that this once-renowned figure in finance and the Internet had inexplicably turned to metaphysics, evaluating that her strategic value to the United States had diminished.
