When Vera saw the result of the hexagram pointing at Charlie, she suddenly felt extremely nervous again.She was well aware of Charlie’s strength and knew that most people could not pose any threat to his safety. Therefore, the person who could put him in a dangerous situation must have superior strength. She could not help but secretly wonder, ‘Could it be that the other great earls from Qing Eliminating Society are coming to Aurous Hill? That must be it! Otherwise, Charlie wouldn’t have reminded me to pay attention to my safety!’As Vera thought of this, she subconsciously took out her cell phone and wanted to call Charlie. However, she did not know what to say after picking up her cell phone.After all, she had been playing dumb in front of Charlie, and she had finally managed to get him to let his guard down in front of her. If she took the initiative to warn him at this time, he would definitely be suspicious of her again. After considering it carefully, Vera still felt tha
This was a logical and reasonable explanation. Sometimes, one would need a hundred lies in order to explain a single lie. This was because it was difficult for liars to consistently remain logical, so their lies would always get discovered. However, Vera was an extremely smart girl, and she had already gone through her lies to ensure that it was consistent, logical, and closed-loop. Therefore, Charlie did not notice any abnormalities after listening to her. He felt that Vera should only be wanting to draw up a divination for him out of her good intentions. As he thought about this, he did not hide it anymore and told Vera his date of birth.When Vera heard Charlie’s date of birth, she could not help but feel relieved because his date of birth was the same as his birthday that she knew from the information she had of him.It seemed that Charlie really trusted her. Therefore, she said, “Charlie, I will help you to draw up a divination now, and I will let you know the result as so
In Charlie’s opinion, although the Qing Eliminating Society was probably targeting his grandparents’ family, since Vera said that he would be facing danger, it meant that he would have to go through a fierce battle. Charlie was not afraid. He knew that every day he lived was earned ever since the day he had survived at the age of eight.What he was most afraid of was in the event that his grandparents’ family and his wife, Claire, encountered danger at the same time. He would not be able to protect all of them on his own at the same time.As he thought of this, the first idea that came to his mind was to quickly find a way to let Claire leave Aurous Hill first.If Claire was not in Aurous Hill, Charlie would really be left without any worries, and he would be able to concentrate on protecting his grandparents’ family in Aurous Hill.However, Charlie could not come up with the best method to make Claire leave Aurous Hill without any doubts.The first idea that he had was to give
Kathleen quickly asked him, “Have… Have you been reunited with Lord Acker and Lady Acker?”Charlie sighed and said helplessly, “Not yet, but I’m afraid that I will not be able to hide my identity from them anymore if they are really in danger this time.”Kathleen asked nervously, “Mr. Wade, do you need any help? If necessary, I will gather all my subordinates to head to Aurous Hill as soon as possible!”Charlie said calmly, “No need. The current situation in Aurous Hill is extremely complicated, and it will be even more chaotic if there are even more people around. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be thinking of a way to let Claire leave Aurous Hill first.”With that said, Charlie asked Kathleen, “Miss Fox, can you help me think of a way to let Claire head to the United States and stay there for a period of time? The sooner, the better.”Kathleen agreed without hesitation and said, “No problem! Please rest assured, Mr. Wade, I will call Claire right away!”Charlie said, “Thank you, Miss Fox
Although Claire had a soft personality, she had always been committed to being a strong career woman. Charlie’s words moved her as well.How could a woman take her husband with her as a companion all the time when she went out to work? That would not only make her look incompetent, but it would make her husband look useless as well.In addition, Charlie’s last sentence was also on point. Claire and Kathleen were good friends. Claire could not bring her husband with her at all times when interacting with Kathleen either, otherwise, Kathleen would definitely find it strange. As Claire thought of this, she could only nod and say to Charlie apologetically, “Honey, if that’s the case, I’ll have to go by myself. You have to take care of yourself when I am not in Aurous Hill. Please help me take care of my parents as well.”“You can rest assured.” Charlie then asked with a smile, “By the way, Honey, you haven’t given a clear reply to Miss Fox yet, right?”Claire nodded and said, “I to
Claire stopped refusing when Kathleen said that there was no time at all and the loss incurred by her company might exceed ten million US dollars daily. Kathleen reminded her again, “By the way, Claire, you don’t have to bring too much luggage with you. I have everything you need here, be it daily necessities or anything that you need for work. You can stay in my room at my house after you come here. You can use anything I have if you need anything, so you should pack lightly this time. The simpler, the better.”“Okay.”Claire did not dare to delay at all because Kathleen described her situation to be extremely urgent. She hung up the phone and returned to the bedroom with Charlie and started packing her luggage. Although Kathleen had already told Claire to travel light, Claire still packed all her necessary personal belongings as much as possible to avoid causing any trouble or inconvenience to Kathleen in the United States. Kathleen quickly made the arrangements for the busin
Charlie and Claire had already gotten up at dawn the next day. They got ready by six o’clock in the morning and drove to the airport before Jacob and Elaine woke up.This was Claire’s first time traveling so far alone in so many years after she and Charlie had gotten married. Although both of them were reluctant to say goodbye to each other, they knew that they could not avoid this temporary farewell. Charlie wanted to ensure Claire’s safety. He was certain that Kathleen would definitely be able to take good care of Claire if he sent Claire to her. Claire felt that she had to help Kathleen solve her urgent matter, so she could only be separated from her husband temporarily. As they were saying goodbye at the airport, Claire’s eyes were red, and she hugged Charlie gently as she murmured, “Honey, I don’t know how long I will be in the United States this time, so I will have to leave everything at home to you…”Charlie stroked her back and comforted her, “You don’t have to worry a
However, his heart which had been beating for one hundred and fifty-six years seemed to be beating at an infrequent speed for no reason. His heart would beat rapidly at moments and slowly at others, like a rollercoaster, which made him feel terrified. Mr. Chardon knew that this abnormal behavior was because he was nervous. Although he had never felt so nervous for so many years, he could still clearly remember that he would feel this way every now and then when he felt nervous in the past. This was a habit he had formed from his childhood to youth. Mr. Chardon could not help but recall his life-long journey. His childhood was during the miserable era of the war. He had never had enough to eat, had not had enough clothes to wear, and would always be surrounded by fierce and evil people. When he was young, the country was ineffective and in complete chaos. There were internal and external troubles, and the people were in dire straits. Mr. Chardon could not count the number of t
