“No.” Kathleen said, “We haven’t known each other for long. Just a month or two.”Marianne was shocked and asked her, “You’ve only known Charlie for a month or two, so why do you know him so well, then?!”Kathleen smiled in a self-deprecating manner and said, “Well, who asked me to be a smart aleck? I had to find out everything about him, and the deeper I looked into him, the deeper I got caught in it.”Having said that, Kathleen smiled and said, “Sometimes, being too smart is not a good thing. I was also sad for a whole day like you are now when I found out that he likes Nanako.”Marianne was even more puzzled, and she asked, “Miss Fox, how did you know that?”Kathleen laughed and said, “Based on reasoning.”Having said that, Kathleen said, “First of all, as far as I know, Nanako was seriously injured after she competed in Aurous Hill. The media once said that her life was in danger, and even if she pulled through and survived, she might have to be bedridden for the rest of her
Marianne did not expect that the birthday gift that Charlie had casually given her would be so expensive. It was so expensive that even Lord Fox could only get half of the pill from Charlie!As she thought of this, she suddenly had mixed feelings in her heart.At this moment, she felt a girl-like joy in her heart as well as the trepidation of receiving something so valuable without merit. However, she did not expect that Kathleen’s next sentence would leave her even more speechless.Kathleen struggled and hesitated for a long time before she looked at Marianne and asked in an extremely serious manner, “Miss Long, do you intend to sell this Healing Pill? I am willing to pay you ten billion US dollars if you plan to sell it!” There were not many people who knew of the actual value of the Rejuvenating Pill as well as the Healing Pill better than Kathleen herself. Needless to say, the Rejuvenating Pill was a divine medicine that could be sold for three hundred billion US dollars
Having said that, she reached out her hand and pointed at the small wooden box in Marianne’s hand as she instructed, “Miss Long, it’d be better for you to put this pill away. This pill is worth a lot of money, so you should try not to let others know about it.”“Okay...” Marianne nodded and then kept the small wooden box away safely. She then immediately remembered something and hurriedly asked Kathleen, “By the way, Miss Fox, why do you know so many things about Charlie? It seems like you know him very well.” Kathleen smiled in a self-deprecating manner and said, “I secretly investigated him when I was in Aurous Hill before this, and coupled with some of my own reasoning skills, I was then able to sort out a lot of things.”Marianne could not help but exclaim, “Miss Fox, you’re really smart! I wouldn’t have thought of this if it was me...”“Smart...” Kathleen smiled and shook her head. “It’s useless to be too smart.”Having said that, Kathleen’s expression suddenly froze as if s
After Charlie had bought the cell phone case, the episode related to the cell phone seemed to be over. However, Charlie still could not understand why Marianne would burst into tears because of her cell phone.At this time, the vendors at the food street showed extremely hospitable qualities and filled their table with a variety of delicious food.So, the three of them tacitly put the incident behind them as they chatted while they ate.Halfway through the meal, Marianne looked up at Charlie and asked him, “Mr. Wade, when will you be going back?”Charlie casually said, “Tomorrow night. I wonder if your father has solved the problem in regard to the villa next door? If it’s solved, I can also go back after Uncle Janus’s family moves in tomorrow.”Marianne felt a little disappointed, and she could not help but ask, “Mr. Wade, aren’t you planning to stay a few more days in Hong Kong?”“No.” Charlie smiled slightly and said, “My wife is waiting for me in the United States, so I canno
Kathleen drove the car out of the parking lot after saying goodbye, but Marianne was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she turned on her cell phone and typed a sentence, ‘How many universities are there in Aurous Hill?’ into the search engine on her cell phone. Very soon, the search engine presented a list of all the universities in Aurous Hill.Marianne glanced at the list. In the list, the university with the best strength and reputation was Aurous University.So, she opened Aurous University’s official website and found Aurous University’s recruitment page on the official website. She carefully read the words on the website and finally found a recruitment category that was particularly suitable for her. This category was called the Outstanding Talent Introduction Program. There were two schemes for this talent introduction program. The first scheme was for well-known scholars with a certain reputation worldwide. This was a very high requirement, and Marianne, who had yet t
Meanwhile, in Campbell Mansion. This was an old mansion located in Sham Shui Po in Hong Kong, and the actual usable area for this mansion was only just over thirty square meters. In Hong Kong, where every inch of land was precious, there were not many people who could own a house that was more than thirty square meters. Back then, in Kowloon Walled City, countless families with five or even eight family members were all crammed into a small room of less than ten square meters. In comparison, this mansion in Sham Shui Po owned by the Campbell family was already considered to have escaped the title of living in a slum. Janus had grown up here when he was young. When his father had made a fortune by selling roast goose, his family had then moved to the bustling city center of Hong Kong.Later, Janus had then become a well-known professional manager in Hong Kong, and he had also earned a good income when he had helped Shawn make a lot of money. The Campbell family’s house in the c
Daryl hurriedly refused and said, “Janus, this is your own hard-earned money! How could I possibly accept this? Besides that, my income is quite stable now, and I don’t need to pay high medical bills anymore in the future as Mom has already recovered. You can keep this money for yourself!”Janus smiled and said, “You can only buy a car at most with so little money in Hong Kong. I am not capable, and I have limited abilities. You can accept this money from me without any worries. I am all alone, and I don’t need much money, so it’s useless for me to keep this money to myself. If Young Master Wade looks up to me, I will be satisfied if he can manage my food and accommodation for me. If Young Master Wade does not have a use for me, I will simply start up a roast goose restaurant in Sham Shui Po, and I will ask you for some capital when the time comes. You can treat it as if you’re holding onto this money on my behalf first, then.”The old lady also spoke up at this time and said, “Daryl
Janus was a little puzzled, but he still said very politely, “Mr. Long, there is really no need for you to make amends with me. I have never blamed you from the beginning to the end. I am already very satisfied and content that you have allowed me to come back and reunite with my family!”Shawn turned around and stretched out his hand toward Jenna, who was next to him.Jenna hurriedly took out a document file from her Hermes handbag and handed it over to Shawn. Shawn then took the document file and said to Janus in a flattering manner, “Janus, this is the title deed for Halbert Mansion which is next to my villa. I bought this property in the afternoon, and this property will be yours from now on. This is just a small token from me!”Janus looked at Shawn in astonishment. The first thought that came to his mind was that Shawn had absolutely no reason to do this. First of all, it was very unlikely for Shawn to want to compensate him.Secondly, even if Shawn really wanted to compe
