The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

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 Eliminating Society was keeping quiet and only the three great earls were deployed outside, Charlie was worried that one of the great earls from the Qing Eliminating Society would come to Aurous Hill next.

Charlie had arranged for Porter to ambush in advance with close-defense missiles in Cyprus, but Charlie did not have such ability or opportunity in Aurous Hill.

If one of the great earls from the Qing Eliminating Society really came to Aurous Hill, it would be fine if the other party was interested in Vera, but if the other party wanted to harm his grandparents and the Ackers as well, Charlie did not know whether he had the strength to keep them safe.

Moreover, what was most terrible was that it was difficult for Charlie to set up an early warning system in Aurous Hill. It would be difficult for Charlie to know in advance before the other party took action.

Charlie's mood became extremely gloomy as he thought of this.

Charlie's lunch was dull.

After lunch, he sent Claudia, Stephanie, and Mrs. Lewis home, then drove the car to the riverside, found a parking spot, and sat alone by the riverside all afternoon after he had parked the car.

Charlie felt an unprecedented sense of urgency after meeting Vera today.

He had the feeling as if the enemy was approaching but he hadn't found a way to deal with the enemy yet.

Charlie drove to Aurous University at six o'clock in the evening.

Although Marianne had driven her car to the university, she left her car directly at the university. She even put on makeup carefully before leaving the university.

After the two met, Marianne was still somewhat cautious because of the sudden revelation today.

Charlie asked her, "Marianne, what would you like to eat tonight?"

Marianne said, “We can eat whatever you want. It would be best if it's something light. All my meals have been spicy and salty since I came to Aurous Hill, and I'm not used to it..." noveldrama

Charlie thought for a moment and said casually, "If you want to eat something

light, should we go for Hong Kong cuisine, then?"

"I'd rather not." Marianne smiled wryly and said, "I've tried all the Hong Kong-style restaurants since I came to Aurous Hill, but they are not very authentic."

Charlie smiled and said, “That is the disadvantage of Hong Kong cuisine. It's difficult to guarantee the taste. Those tastes that can be unified are basically pre-packed food and pre-made dishes.

With that thought in mind, Charlie said, "What about Japanese food? The taste

should be about the same as long as the ingredients are fresh.”

Marianne said without hesitation, "Okay, let's do as you say."

Therefore, Charlie drove Marianne to the entrance of a Japanese restaurant.

As he pushed the door open and

entered the restaurant, the bell hanging at the door vibrated and made a clear tinkling sound, which

caused Charlie to be stunned on the spot.

A method to deal with the current situation suddenly appeared in his mind...
