The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5225

As soon as Vera thought of this, she looked at Marianne again, and she suddenly smiled as she teased, “Marianne, I don’t think you’re here to look for a job after coming to Aurous Hill all the way from Hong Kong!”

Marianne asked in surprise, “Why do you say that?”

Vera laughed and said, “It feels more like you’ve come to pursue your sweetheart despite all odds.”

Vera’s seemingly teasing words touched the depths of Marianne’s heart. She was instantly flustered and hurriedly tried to cover up as she said, “How... How could that be? I’ve never been to Aurous Hill, and I don’t have any acquaintances here, let alone a sweetheart.”

Although Marianne was in a hurry to hide her true feelings, Vera had already captured the panic in her expression.

It was this slight change that made Vera even more certain that her judgment was definitely correct.

Coupled with Marianne’s identity, who else aside from Charlie could make a rich young lady such as Marianne put everything aside to come all the way from Hong Kong to Aurous Hill?

However, Vera understood human nature very well. She knew that she should stop in moderation now that she had already made Marianne feel flustered. After all, as the saying went, one should not pursue a desperate foe.

So, Vera changed the topic immediately, smiled, and said, “Marianne, I was just deliberately messing with you because you’re so pretty.”

Marianne was relieved when Vera stopped questioning her. She was already feeling a little guilty, and she was afraid that people might really notice something abnormal.

In her opinion, although she loved Charlie deeply, he was still a married man. Even if she had come all the way to Aurous Hill for him, she must never let anyone know about her feelings, so she could never let anyone discover any clues.

Logan was horrified when he saw Vera’s innocent and pleasant appearance in front of Marianne. He could not help but think, ‘Miss has never behaved this way before. She’s testing Marianne on purpose, right? It’s a pity Marianne can’t tell at all.”

Lady Carrick, who was aside, then went along with the topic they had just talked about and sighed as she said, “Marianne, you’re not young anymore and it’s time for you to find a boyfriend and plan your marriage. The best time for a woman to get married is between the ages of eighteen to twenty-eight years old. It will be too late if you have any regrets after delaying it.”

Marianne stammered and said, “Lady Carrick, I just graduated and I’ll be looking for a job soon, so I don’t have time to look for a boyfriend. I’ll think about it after everything has settled down.”

Lady Carrick nodded and sighed. “I’m just afraid that you will waste too much of your youth.”

With that said, she asked again, “What kind of men do you like? I will help you to find one later!”
