The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5900

Upon seeing this sentence, Vera immediately said, “Queens should be Queens, New York City. So, this photo was indeed taken in Queens. As for ‘Cole’, it seems the person in the photo with your father has the last name Cole, and he's of Oskian descent. It’s just that we don’t know his full name.”

“You're right…” Charlie nodded gently as he continued furrowing his brows.

He murmured, “I have a feeling that this man with the last name Cole seems familiar, but no matter how hard I try, I just can't remember where I've seen him before.”

Vera hastened to say, “Don't worry, Young Master. The feeling of familiarity must come from somewhere in your memory. It's just that your memory of that person might not be very deep, or you may have only had a very brief encounter with him. So, don't worry. If you think carefully, you'll surely remember some clues.”

With that said, she asked Charlie, “Apart from finding this person familiar, are there any other strange or familiar clues for you?”

Charlie kept rubbing his nose bridge and said, “As for other clues, I feel that just from looking at this photo alone, this man with the last name Cole does not only seem somewhat familiar, but there's also a certain point about him that feels particularly familiar. It feels like déjà vu, but I just can't grasp specific clues in my mind.”

Vera comforted him and said, “Don't worry, Young Master. Let's go through it step by step. First, let’s talk about Mr. Cole’s clothes and appearance. Are there any distinctive details?”

Charlie looked at the photograph and said, “My father seems to be wearing a bomber jacket that was popular in the late 20th century, whereas the person next to him is wearing a regular woolen coat. Those were probably normal clothing back in the days…”

Vera then asked, “What about Queens? Your parents lived in the United States for many years. Did they ever talk to you about Queens, or did they ever take you there?”

Charlie pondered for a moment and replied, “As far as I remember, whenever I went to the United States with my parents or when my mother went back to visit relatives, we always stayed on Long Island. Besides Long Island, we usually went to Manhattan more often. I don't have any clear impression of Queens.”

He added, “Even if it’s this antique shop, I only learned about it from my uncle a few days ago. My parents never mentioned it to me before…”

At this point, Charlie's expression suddenly froze.

Vera didn't notice the change in Charlie's expression but kept staring at the photo and said, “Or perhaps we can ask your father's former subordinates to see if they recognize this person?”

As he spoke, Charlie looked at Vera, still with an expression of shock, as he said, “Do you remember that I told you about my father-in-law pretending to be knowledgeable and insisting on going to an antique shop to broaden his horizons, only to accidentally break a jade vase there?”

Vera replied without hesitation, “Of course! You found the Apocalyptic Book in the debris of that vase. How could I forget such an important thing?!”

Charlie nodded, then pointed to the man standing next to his father in the photo, murmuring, “He… He was the manager of that antique shop at that time!”

Vera's eyes widened suddenly, her voice trembling as she exclaimed, “What?! Are you saying that this man, who took a photo with your father over twenty years ago in New York, is currently working in an antique shop in Aurous Hill, and he's the one who handed the jade vase containing the Apocalyptic Book to your father-in-law?!”

Charlie nodded firmly, “Yes, I'm sure! This man’s name is Raymond Cole, and the antique shop in Aurous Hill is called Vintage Deluxe, which belongs to the Moores in Aurous Hill. Vintage Deluxe wasn't doing well at that time. Within the vast industry of the Moores, it was just a marginal business. The person in charge of Vintage Deluxe is Jasmine, the current head of the Moores, and Raymond was the manager of Vintage Deluxe at that time…”

At this point, Charlie felt that his back was already soaked.
