Therefore, even though Charlie was staring at her, she remained calm and composed and constantly had a polite and reserved smile on her face. Claudia asked her in surprise, “You’re from the Archeology Department as well?”Vera nodded and asked curiously, “That’s right! Are you from the Archeology Department too?”Claudia nodded and said, “Yes, I am…”Vera smiled and said, “What a coincidence! We are both international students, we speak Oskian dialect, and we major in Archeology!”Claudia found it very unbelievable as well and said seriously, “They told me that not many people, especially girls, signed up to major in Archeology. I was prepared to be the only girl among the freshman this year, but I didn’t expect to meet a female classmate in the same major!”Stephanie, who was aside, said with a smile, “Most importantly, the two of you are assigned to the same room in the dormitory. The two of you are really fated!”Mrs. Lewis said with a smile, “That’s right! The two of you ar
Vera expected that Charlie would certainly come back from the moment he left. Therefore, she could not relax for a moment and pretended to be calm as she unpacked her personal belongings. When Charlie returned to the dormitory, the door was still open. He opened the door directly and said coldly, “Vera Lavor, what is your purpose in coming to Aurous Hill?”Charlie’s sudden question startled Vera, who was unpacking her things, but this startled action was something she had practiced countless times. Vera exclaimed at the right time, then turned around and looked at Charlie nervously as she asked with extreme vigilance, “Who… Who are you?!”Charlie sneered and asked her, “You chased me all the way here but you’re still asking who I am? Aren’t you being too fake?”Vera showed even more fear, and she could not help but take a step back as she said nervously, “Who… Who are you? How did you know about the name Vera Lavor?!”Charlie sneered and said, “What? You’re still pretending?
“Your grandfather?” Charlie asked again, “Who is your grandfather?”Vera said, “My grandfather is Logan Carrick, the richest man in Malaysia.”“Logan Carrick?” Charlie had heard this name more than once when he transferred to Aurous University. Since Logan had donated a lot of education funds to Aurous University and helped Aurous University develop rapidly, his story was well-written into the university’s history. He did not expect Vera to be related to Logan, so he was even more surprised as he asked, “What is your real name?”Vera said without hesitation, “My real name is Vera Lavor.”Charlie asked again, “Logan’s last name is Carrick, and your last name is Lavor. How can he be your grandfather?”Vera said, “He’s a distant relative. He is my grandfather’s distant relative. I turned to him for help after I escaped from Northern Europe. I asked him to help me forge a new identity as Veron Lavor in order not to be discovered. He’s the one who arranged for me to come to Aurous Hi
“Marianne Long?!” Charlie was stunned when he heard this. He thought to himself, ‘Could it be such a coincidence that there is a female lecturer named Marianne Long?’The next second, he wondered again, ‘She should just happen to have the same name as the Marianne Long I know, right?’However, when Charlie thought about how he had met Vera again here, he felt that it was not impossible if the Marianne he knew had come to Aurous University as well.Therefore, he asked another question, “Where is the Marianne Long that you spoke about from?”Vera answered truthfully, “She’s from Hong Kong. Her father is Shawn Long, a famous wealthy businessman in Hong Kong.”“Oh…” Charlie took a deep breath.He thought to himself, ‘When did Marianne come to Aurous University to be a lecturer here?! Why did a rich heir like her from Hong Kong come to Aurous University to become a lecturer? Why didn’t she tell me that she came to Aurous Hill?’Charlie thought about how Vera actually knew Marianne an
The ring had vibrated for the second time in the underground parking lot at Thompson First. If Vera was telling the truth, it would be completely reasonable if Vera had gone to pick Marianne up to go to Logan’s house for dinner. Charlie only needed to confirm whether Marianne lived in Thompson First to confirm whether Vera was lying or not. He could not find any flaws after reviewing Vera’s answers carefully. With this in mind, he thought to himself, ‘It seems that I need to get someone to check Vera’s entry record to see when she came to Aurous Hill and whether she lied. If she really didn’t lie, all this should be just a coincidence, then.”Charlie suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind him, and a familiar voice asked from behind, “Veron, are you used to the dormitory?”Charlie could immediately tell that it was Marianne’s voice!In order to prevent Marianne from discovering Vera’s abnormal state, Charlie erased Vera’s previous memory immediately. While Vera was still in
Charlie had just accidentally asked about Marianne’s situation from Vera. However, after Marianne said it herself, he still pretended to be surprised and asked, “When did you come to work at Aurous University?”Marianne could only explain truthfully, “Well, Aurous University has an Outstanding Talent Introduction Program, so I tried applying for it. I was invited to come and attend the interview, and I passed the interview…”Marianne’s tone sounded very uneasy, like a child who had done something wrong and was discovered by her parents. Charlie knew that Marianne had most likely come to Aurous Hill because of him. However, at this time, he could only pretend to be dumbfounded, so he subconsciously said, “Although Aurous University is not as good as Hong Kong University, it is still a very good university…”Marianne nodded slightly, looked at Charlie, and stuttered as she said, “I… I think it’s pretty good as well…”Vera, who was aside, seemed to have just returned to her senses.
Charlie’s suspicion of Vera had basically been dispelled at this point.However, Charlie was still frowning even though he did believe that Vera did not know his true identity. Although he basically believed that Vera’s appearance in Aurous Hill was just a coincidence, he was still vaguely worried.The Qing Eliminating Society had been after Vera the last time Charlie had seen her.Now that she had come to Aurous Hill, if the Qing Eliminating Society found any clues about her, they would definitely learn from the last experience and lesson and send the most powerful martial arts experts to Aurous Hill to catch her.Furthermore, Charlie’s grandparents had also arrived in Aurous Hill, and their family was also an important target of the Qing Eliminating Society. In that case, the Qing Eliminating Society’s two major targets would be in Aurous Hill, and the probability that the Qing Eliminating Society would attack in Aurous Hill would be greatly increased. Now that the Qing Eli
When Marianne saw Charlie standing at the door in a daze, she could not help but ask, “Mr. Wade, what’s wrong?”Charlie regained his senses and smiled as he said, “Oh, I was preoccupied with something else. I’m sorry.”The waitress then came over and said, “Please come in.”Charlie nodded. When he followed the waiter in, he specially looked at the small bell hanging on the sliding door and was instantly inspired. If the Qing Eliminating Society were to really send a great earl to Aurous Hill in the future, he had to have a ‘bell’ that could warn him in advance.After sitting down with Marianne, Charlie took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Zachary, who sold antiques at Antique Street, asking Zachary to meet him at Champs Elys hot spring villa at noon tomorrow. Zachary had started working as an inept advisor for Albert some time ago, and he did a good job. Albert’s industries and people were reorganized and restructured, which increased his income and management gre
