The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Vera was a girl with a withdrawn personality and a bit of aloofness.

She did not like to interact with people, and she liked to stay at home alone to read books, drink tea, write calligraphy, paint, and burn incense to tell fortunes.

Logan's manor really surprised her. She thought of how she had been running around for days and simply wanted to have a good rest here for a while and slowly regain her slow and leisurely pace of life.

Moreover, she had already decided not to contact Charlie before school started, so it was the best plan for her to practice self-cultivation here and occasionally visit some famous places here in Aurous Hill.

So, she came up with a list and asked Madam Marilyn to help her purchase the items on the list. There were a hundred ancient books, seal incense made out of ten different materials, tea leaves from five different origins, and various pens, inks, paper, and inkstones.

When Madam Marilyn got the list, she asked Vera with some doubts, "Miss Lavor, I can understand everything else, but do you have any requirements for the one hundred ancient books? For example, the title of the book, the author, and so forth?"

"No." Vera smiled slightly and said, "You just have to go to the antique market in Aurous Hill and find some real ancient books for me. No matter what kind of books they are, you can buy them as long as they are ancient books and still can be read. As for the money, your master can just pay for them."

Madam Marilyn was secretly surprised. People who read physical books these days were rare. How could there still be anyone who liked to read ancient books?

Ancient books were also antiques, and buying a hundred antiques at once was certainly not a small sum of money.

However, her professional ethics always told her to do things according to her duties, and she never asked questions that should not be asked.

So, she said, "Okay, Miss Lavor. I'll go and prepare later!"

At noon, Vera had a sumptuous lunch with Logan and his wife on the first floor of Scarlet Pinnacle Manor.

Not long after they had dinner, Emmett, who was travel-worn, rushed over from Eastcliff.

Although Logan sent someone to pick Emmett up from the airport in advance, he was still surprised when he saw Emmett arriving alone, and he blurted out, "Emmett, you... you didn't even bring a bodyguard with you?!"

Emmett said,

d without hesitation, "I

came to Aurous Hill to meet Miss Vera, so naturally should bring asz few people as possible! Miss Vera's status and situation are special, so I have to minimize the risk as much as possible."

Logan said, "How could they agree to let you come here alone? They would send someone to follow you even if you force them not to do so with a pistol, right?"

Emmett smiled and said, "Don't

mention it. Heally took out my pistol to force them not to follow me, but didn't point my pistol at them. I pointed it at myself. I told them that I only had another six months to live anyway, so if they did not let me leave, I would shoot myself and kill myself in advance."

Logan asked in surprise, "Who told you that you could only live for six more months? I think that you seem to be in good spirits, and it would not be a big problem for you to live for another five to ten years!"

Emmett smiled helplessly and glanced at Vera.

Logan suddenly came to a realization and asked Vera, "Miss, did you calculate this?"noveldrama

"Yes." Vera nodded and said, "But it's not absolute, and there is still a turning point."

Logan hurriedly asked, "Miss, the turning point you're talking about is..."

Vera said indifferently. "I don't know the exact details, but there is a chance for

Emmett to find this turning point as long as he stays in Aurous Hill."

Having said that, Vera added, "This visit to Aurous Hill is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me. Whether I will be able to avenge my father's murder will depend entirely on this time. I'm afraid I

won't have another chance in the

future if I don't succeed this time."

Logan was slightly taken aback and asked, "Miss, do you have a way to eradicate

the Qing Eliminating Society?"
