The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

"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 Hill to study."

Charlie asked again, "Why did you choose the Department of Archeology?"

Vera said, "I came here not to learn anything but just to hide my identity and ensure my own safety, so I chose archeology from some subjects at Aurous University. I like porcelain, antiques, calligraphy, and painting. Archeology is the only subject that interests me among the many majors at Aurous University. Charlie was doubtful. He shook the ring in his hand and asked her, "What's so special about this ring?"

Vera shook her head and said, "I don't know what's special about it. This ring is a relic that my father left to me. Before he left, he asked me to keep it safe and told me never to let it fall into the hands of others."

Charlie asked her deliberately, "Why did you give this ring to me, then?"

Vera reacted very quickly and said with a blank look, "You must be mistaken. It's impossible for me to give my father's relic to anyone as it means a lot to me."

Charlie frowned and asked, "Who is your father? What does he do? What is his name, where was he born, and where did he die?"

Vera said, "My father's name is Elijah Lavor. He was born in Eastcliff, and he died in Yorkshire Hill. I don't know what he does, but I only know that he's a martial

artist and has always been an enemy of the Qing Eliminating Society."

Charlie asked, "Why is he an enemy of the Qing Eliminating Society?"

Vera said blankly, "I don't know either..."

Charlie stared at Vera and continued to ask, "Have you seen me since you came to Aurous Hill?"

Vera shook her head and said, "I haven't seen you before."

Charlie said coldly, "Do you know that your ring will vibrate when it's close to you, then?"

Vera looked confused and said, "I... I

didn't know that... This ring has never left my side since my father gave it to me. I didn't know that it will vibrate when it leaves my side and comes close to me..."

Charlie snorted coldly, "When the ring vibrated for the first time, I was driving away from Aurous University. You should have been nearby at that time! What were you doing at Aurous University at the time?"

Vera said, "I've only been to Aurous University once before today. I went there with my grandfather to settle all the admission procedures. I went to meet Mr. Laverick, who is the director of Admissions at Aurous University.”

Charlie thought of how the ring had vibrated for the second time in the underground parking lot at Thompson First and asked, "Have you been to Thompson First?"

Vera said truthfully, "I've been there once."

Charlie asked, "What did you do there?"

Vera said, "The granddaughter of an old friend of my grandfather lives in Thompson First. I went there once because my grandfather's driver wanted to pick my grandfather's friend's granddaughter up at Thompson First for dinner, so I followed him there..." noveldrama

Charlie asked again, "Who is your grandfather's old friend's granddaughter?"

Vera said, “She's a lecturer at Aurous University and has just signed an

employment contract with Aurous University."

Charlie wanted to verify if Vera was telling the truth, so he asked her, "What is her name?"

Vera said without hesitation, "Her name is Marianne Long!"
