The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

That night, after Marianne had settled the newly purchased household necessities, she returned to Scarlet Pinnacle Manor with Madam Marilyn.

Both Logan and his wife were also very happy when they learned that Marianne had been hired. He asked the servants to organize an elaborate celebration feast at home as a celebration for Marianne.

To Logan's surprise, Vera, who never liked such festivities, also joined in happily.

At the dinner table, Logan said to Marianne, "Marianne, if you have nothing to do when you come to Aurous Hill to work in the future, you can come and live at Scarlet Pinnacle Manor and ask Marilyn to arrange a big room for you!"

Marianne hurriedly said, "Lord Carrick, Madam Marilyn accompanied me to buy a house in Aurous Hill in the afternoon, and the university will also provide me with an apartment in the future."

Logan said in surprise, "You already bought a house? It's safer for you to live here, and it'd be more convenient for you to live here with Marilyn and the others taking care of you."

Lady Carrick, who was aside, also agreed, "That's right, Marianne. You can save yourself a lot of trouble if you live here. You probably don't have many relatives and friends here in Aurous Hill aside from us, and it's quite worrying for a girl to live outside by herself."

Marianne explained, "The security at the neighborhood where I bought the house is quite good. Besides, the law and order in Oskia is much better than in Hong Kong, and no one knows of my identity here, so there shouldn't be any danger."

Logan knew that she had already made up her mind, so he nodded and said, "You'll be living permanently in Aurous Hill in the future, so don't hesitate to ask us if you need any help. You can also look for Marilyn even if we are not here." Having said that, he added, “I'll transfer some more manpower from Malaysia over the next few days so that I can respond quickly if there's anything."

Vera did not have much manpower at the moment, and after the exposure in Northern Europe, she only had one loyal subordinate left who hadn't arrived in Oskia yet. The rest were existences such as Emmett and Logan.

In order to ensure Vera's safety, Logan and Emmett had reached a consensus to secretly dispatch troops to Aurous Hill to ensure Vera's safety.

For Logan, since Marianne was like his granddaughter, he had to take good care of her in the future.

Although Marianne felt that she would not be in any danger, she still said to Logan gratefully, "Thank you, Lord Carrick!"

At this time, Vera, who was aside, asked curiously, "Miss Marianne, where did you buy your house?"

Marianne said, "I bought a house at Thompson First in Aurous Hill. It's not far away from the university and is only ten minutes away by car."noveldrama

Vera was taken aback for a moment and muttered, "Thompson First..."

Vera knew of Charlie's address ever since she had found out about his other

identity in Aurous Hill. She did not expect that Marianne would also buy a house in the same neighborhood.

However, she was not that surprised

after thinking about it. After all,

Marianne had come here for Charlie,

so it was

normal for her to buy a

house in the neighborhood where Charlie lived at.

P

Marianne thought that Vera was curious about her newly bought house, so she smiled and said, "Veron, if you're interested, I can show you around my apartment. Although the apartment is not very big, the river view is not too bad."

Vera smiled and said, "Miss Marianne, I'll go with you after school starts. I've been feeling rather lazy and homely lately, so I don't want to go anywhere."

Vera did not dare to go to Thompson First.

After all, it was too close to Charlie.

Even though she had come to Aurous Hill because of Charlie, he was also the

person she was most afraid of seeing before university started.

When Vera declined her invite, Marianne did not think much about it and simply smiled as she said, "I

can

also reserve a room for you if you don't want to come back here Occasionally after university starts."

"Okay." Vera said with a smile, "It's a deal, then."
