Kathleen and Claire chatted for a long time in the executive lounge.
During this period, Kathleen modified her story slightly, which made everything seem incomparably natural and smooth to Claire.
According to Kathleen, she and her grandfather went to Aurous Hill at the beginning because her father’s physical condition was deteriorating. Someone introduced the genius doctor, Anthony Simmons, to her grandfather, so they flew to Aurous Hill immediately.
After arriving in Aurous Hill, Kathleen used the alias, Kylie Jane, to keep a low profile. She had already chosen this identity when she entered Oskia, so this also made Claire realize that Kathleen did not come up with a fake name just to deceive her.
Kathleen then told Claire that she and her grandfather found Anthony to treat her grandfather after arriving in Aurous Hill, and he really managed to cure her grandfather’s illness. But at that time, her eldest uncle took advantage of her grandfather’s absence in the United States and used a ruse to seize the position as the head of the family from her grandfather and began hunting her and her grandfather down.
At the same time, she also heard that Charlie was a very powerful Feng Shui master in Aurous Hill. So, she found Charlie and tried to get out of her situation. Charlie gave her some advice, and she and her grandfather managed to escape.
It was also then that she left without saying goodbye to Claire and disappeared from Aurous Hill to not drag Claire into this matter.
After that, Kathleen told Claire that the reason why she could become the head of the Fox family was that Charlie changed her Feng Shui and fate, which allowed her to return to New York with her grandfather and successfully reclaim the position as the head of the Fox family when the Fox family was in a huge crisis.
Kathleen did not need to explain the rest of the matter to Claire as she already knew the story from the news on television.
Kathleen cleverly concealed her true purpose in coming to Aurous Hill and used Anthony as a perfect substitute. She then used Charlie’s identity as a Feng Shui master to maximize the aspect of Feng Shui, thus successfully fooling Claire into firmly believing her story.
When Claire heard that Kathleen was actually hunted by her eldest uncle and nearly died, she could not help but feel a little ashamed. She felt embarrassed because she had been depressed when Kathleen left without saying goodbye to her, but Kathleen was actually doing so in order not to get Claire involved when she encountered a big crisis.
Claire also felt very proud of her husband at this time.
Claire did not speak. She walked forward, hugged Charlie gently, and sobbed, saying, “Honey, Kathleen… Kathleen’s life is really not easy…”
“Well…” Charlie was stunned momentarily, then quickly guessed what was happening. He patted her back gently and comforted her, “Honey, as the saying goes, ‘the one who wants to wear the crown must bear its weight’. As a human being, one must suffer a bit. Otherwise, she won’t know how to cherish what she has at all.”
Claire sighed and said with a little self-reproach, “I understand that one has to take responsibility. If Miss Fox was just a girl from an ordinary family, she naturally would not need to go through so many dangers and tribulations then, but she is the head of a trillion-dollar family. I didn't know she had to go through so many ups and downs at this height, and I even thought that she deliberately used a fake identity to come and experience life in Aurous Hill and simply disappeared without a word when she had had enough fun.”
Charlie laughed and said, “You know the truth of the matter now, so you don’t have to dwell on it too much. This is the best outcome for her now. The two of you could finally talk about these misunderstandings and become friends again. Isn’t this pretty perfect?”
“Yes…” Claire felt that Charlie’s words made sense, and she nodded gently.
After that, she looked at Charlie and said with admiration, “But Honey, you’re really amazing too! Kathleen could go from being hunted down by her eldest uncle to becoming the head of the Fox family in one fell swoop, just because of a few adjustments to her Feng Shui. This is really too amazing!”
