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
Shawn had originally thought of offering this villa in exchange for a favor. After all, it was also worth hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, if it were changed into dimes and thrown into the sea, the sea level would also rise a little. Therefore, he should not give this villa to Janus just like that.However, Janus was an intelligent man, and he could see the reason at a glance. Therefore, the nature of this matter instantly changed with just one sentence. If Janus accepted the villa now, it would not be Janus who owed him a favor, but instead, it would be Shawn who owed Janus a favor.The meaning behind Janus’s words was very obvious. Even if he accepted the villa, it would just be because he was doing Shawn a favor.Otherwise, Shawn would be in big trouble if he could not explain things to Charlie. Shawn was also convinced. He knew that he was on the losing end, so he simply decided to accept it.Therefore, he sighed and said to Janus, “Janus, consider this a favo
Janus’s analogy instantly made his mother understand what was at stake. It also allowed her to be completely relieved about her son’s future safety. She heaved a sigh of relief and said, “I have nothing to worry about if that’s the case, then.”As she said that, she then asked somewhat uncertainly, “Janus, are we really going to move into the villa given by Shawn tomorrow?”Janus nodded and said seriously, “Of course we’re going. This is Young Master Wade’s arrangement, and Shawn is simply acting according to Young Master Wade’s orders. To be precise, the villa that we are going to move into tomorrow is actually a villa given by Young Master Wade.” Having said that, he looked at his mother as well as his younger siblings and said, “Steerlain Island’s villas are all very large. It will certainly be large enough for our whole family to live together. So, everyone should pack up, and we will move there first thing in the morning tomorrow.”Janus’s two younger sisters looked at eac
