Charlie, who was on the other end of the line, had just bought some fragrant aromatherapy for Mrs. Lewis, Stephanie, and Claudia, to put in their new home.
The welcome lunch was originally to celebrate the housewarming, so the housewarming gifts selected were usually some suitable souvenirs for the new home.
Aromatherapy was something that most women liked, so Charlie chose some high-end aromatherapy gifts.
He suddenly received a call from a local unfamiliar number. He did not think much about it and answered the call according to his usual habits.
Madam Marilyn’s voice sounded over the other end of the line. “Hello, Sir, I’m going out right now, so I may not be able to wait for your delivery. Please put my courier in the property center. I’ll go and pick it up when I get back.”
Charlie said casually, “Sorry, you may have called the wrong number.”
“Huh?!” Madam Marilyn exclaimed and said, “Let me see... Oh, I’m sorry, I really called the wrong number. I’m sorry to bother you!”
“It’s okay.” Charlie did not say much and then hung up the phone.
It was common to call the wrong number, and the other party’s words sounded very real, so Charlie was not suspicious at all.
At this moment, Vera was already completely certain of Charlie’s identity.
She did not expect that everything would go so smoothly after she came to Oskia from Northern Europe!
She had found out Charlie’s true identity after a trip to Eastcliff and then made the decision to come to Aurous Hill to try her luck.
She had then found out Charlie’s phone number as soon as she arrived in Aurous Hill and confirmed that Charlie was in Aurous Hill. He even had a close relationship with one of her future classmates!
Vera could not help but think of the contact address left by Claudia.
Just then, her cell phone suddenly rang, and the caller ID showed that the caller was Emmett, who was far away in Eastcliff.
So, she answered the call, and Emmett’s voice came from the other end of the line. “Miss, have you arrived in Aurous Hill?”
“Yes.” Vera smiled slightly and said, “I just arrived not long ago.”
Emmett hurriedly said, “Miss, when do you think it would be appropriate for me to go there?”
“Anytime.” Vera knew what he had in mind. The hexagram showed that he only had six months to live at most, and his only chance of survival was in Aurous Hill, so although he did not say anything, he must be very eager to find that chance of survival.
Emmett heaved a sigh of relief when he heard her say ‘anytime’ and said respectfully, “Miss, in that case, I will leave for Aurous Hill to meet you later and also meet Logan.”
