Maria was a girl with a withdrawn personality and aloofness.
She didn’t enjoy interpersonal communication and preferred to stay at home alone.
She liked to read books, drink tea, write calligraphy, draw pictures, and burn incense to tell fortunes.
When she saw Larry’s mansion, she was surprised.
After all the running around she had done for days, she just wanted to take a good rest there and
regained her slow pace of life.
Furthermore, Maria had decided not to contact Charlie before school starts.
Therefore, during this period, it was the best plan for her to practice self-cultivation at Larry’s mansion,
and occasionally visited the places of interest in Aurous Hill in disguise.
To that end, Maria made a series of lists and asked Sister Michelle to help purchase them.
The list included a hundred ancient books, seal incense made of ten different materials, tea leaves
from five different origins, and various pens, inks, papers, and inkstones.
When Sister Michelle saw the list, she asked Maria with doubt, “Miss, I can understand everything else,
but these one hundred ancient books, do you have any requirements? For example, the title of the
book, the author, and other related things…”
Maria smiled slightly and replied, “No.
Just go to the city’s Antiques Market and find some real ancient books.
No matter what kind of books, as long as they are ancient books and can still be read, you can buy
them.
As for the money, just let me know.”
Sister Michelle was secretly surprised.
These days, not many people read physical books, so why would anyone want to read ancient books?
Ancient books were also antiques, and buying a hundred of them at once was definitely not a small
sum.
However, her professional ethics always told her to do her duties without asking questions that
shouldn’t be asked.
So, she said, “Okay, Miss, I’ll get them ready later!”
At noon, Maria, Larry, and his wife had a sumptuous lunch on the first floor of the Villa.
Not long after dinner, the travel-worn Keagan joined them.
Although Larry sent someone to greet him at the airport in advance, when Keagan arrived, Larry was
surprised to see that Keagan was alone and blurted out, “Keagan, you… Why didn’t you bring a
bodyguard?”
Keagan replied without hesitation, “I came to Aurous Hill to see Miss.
Naturally, I should bring as few people as possible!”
He added, “Miss’s status is special and the situation is also special.
I have to minimize the risk as much as possible.”
Larry said, “But you came alone here, how can they agree? Even if you forced them with a gun,
wouldn’t they have sent someone to follow you?”
Keagan replied with a smile, “I didn’t point the gun at them, I pointed it at myself.
I told them that I only have half a year to live, and if they didn’t let me leave the city, I would take my
own life.
They agreed to let me come alone.”
Larry was surprised and asked, “Who said you can only live for half a year? I think you’re in good
health and it shouldn’t be a problem for you to live another five to ten years.”
Keagan smiled helplessly and glanced at Maria.
Larry then realized and quickly asked Maria, “Miss, did you figure this out?”
Maria nodded and said, “Yes, but it’s not absolute.
Things can change.
I don’t know the details, but as long as he stays in Aurous Hill, there’s a chance of finding a turning
point.”
