The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Following this line of thought, Kathleen became more and more alarmed.

She hurriedly sat up from the bathtub as panic struck her. Flustered, she whispered to herself, "Mr. Larson is a six-star martial artist. If he can't see any cultivation in Charlie, then there are only two possibilities. Either Charlie has no cultivation at all, or he must be above a six-star martial artist!" "If he's above a six-star martial artist, he might not necessarily be a seven-star martial artist. There might be no limit!"

"If Mr. Larson has really been killed or is under Charlie's control, then Charlie's cultivation level would have already reached the Dark Realm, just as Master

Yant said!

"He was also the one who chose the place we ate tonight. He chose such a remote place deliberately! Did he really do that just to let me taste the local specialties?"

"Coincidentally, there was only a problem with the surveillance cameras around the location that he chose and thus, no valuable information was found!"

"Plus, Charlie wasn't with me the entire time. He went out to answer a phone call halfway through the meal! If he's a Dark Realm expert, then the time he supposedly spent answered the call should be sufficient for him to make a move on Mr. Larson!"

As she thought of this, Kathleen felt her heartbeat suddenly accelerating twice its usual rate. It beat so rapidly, it even caused a sharp pain in her chest!

She knew very well that if her guess was right, it would prove that everything Charlie did to her was just a show or a deliberate attempt to confuse her.

Kathleen's panic rose.

There was only one possibility as to why Charlie would put on a show in front of her. Charlie had already seen through her! He knew her true motives, so he wanted to beat her at her own game.

If Charlie really saw through her, then it proved that her mission in Aurous Hill was a complete failure.

Not only would her plan to find the Rejuvenating Pill fail, but her grandfather's plan to participate in the auction would also be affected if Charlie found out her true identity,

If that was the case, wouldn't she end up

being a sinner in her grandfather's eyes?!

The thought drove Kathleen into anxiety. She felt like she was an ant in a hot pot.

Her utmost fear was Charlie discovering not only her true motives, but also her identity as Kathleen Fox.

If that was the case, she would be completely powerless and helpless!

If Charlie only perceived her motives but hadn't found out her true identity, there would still be a silver lining.

After all, Kathleen and her

grandfather originally intended to

use this as a double insurance approach. Even if this path was blocked, at the very least, it wouldn't affect her grandfather's right to participate in the auction.

As long as Charlie was unaware of her true identity, she wouldn't follow her grandfather to participate in this auction. Just like that, she could just isolate one risk.

As Kathleen thought of this, she picked up her cell phone

immediately and called her

grandfather. As soon as the call was connected, she said hurriedly, "Grandpa, I'm at the risk of being exposed. I won't be contacting you anymore until the end of the auction. You don't need to contact me, either. Bring another person to accompany you to the venue when you come to the auction in a few days' time. I won't be participating."

Jordan was shocked. "What's going on? Did something unexpected happen again?"

"No," Kathleen said truthfully, "I'm afraid my identity might have been exposed to the owner of the Rejuvenating Pill. I suspect he's the

disappearance. I might have

angered him. If I let him find out about our relationship, I fear it would affect your participation in the auction."
