The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Jordan blurted out, "Are you sure? Could that man really have the strength of a Dark Realm expert?!"

Kathleen said, "I don't have any direct evidence, but after analyzing it, that's very likely. I think that it'd be better to be cautious. No matter what, we shouldn't affect your bid for the Rejuvenating Pill in any way."

Jordan thought about it for a moment before finally saying, "Kathleen, I think you should come back as soon as possible.

Since there's already the risk of you being exposed, there's no point for you to continue staying in Aurous Hill anymore. It'd only increase the risk."

He added, "Return first. When the auction is held, I'll have Master Yant accompany me there. At that time, we'll go to Aurous Hill to participate in the auction openly and honestly. I believe others who participate in the auction will probably bring a martial arts expert as their companion. Even if that man truly is really powerful, he wouldn't make a move on them, would he?"

Kathleen said, "If he really is the mastermind, he certainly wouldn't attack the auction's participants. That would be equivalent to him destroying his own signage. Why don't you ask Master Yant to accompany you here, then?"

Jordan asked, "What about you? When will you be coming back?"

Kathleen thought for a moment. "I'd rather not go back yet."

Jordan asked hurriedly, "Kathleen, things have already come to this point! What are you still doing there? It's very dangerous!"

Kathleen explained, "Grandpa. Based on what I've learnt about this man in the past few days, he's very low-key. He definitely won't appear at the auction in person. It's very likely that the Rejuvenating Pill will sell for a sky-high price, but no one in this world will know who he is. As for me, it wasn't easy for me to find him. If I got scared and left so easily, wouldn't I be wasting a good opportunity for nothing?!"

Jordan tried to persuade his granddaughter.. "Kathleen, the other party might have already figured you out by now. What good opportunity would you have by staying there?"

Kathleen replied seriously, "Grandpa, he didn't make a move on me. This proves that he doesn't hate me that much.

Perhaps he's simply trying to make me back out. I don't think that I will be in any danger."

Kathleen paused briefly before continuing," think that he's feeling a little discontented or disgusted with me now. As long as I can use my methods to lessen the

ye

dissatisfaction he has for me then I still have a chance."

Immediately after that, Kathleen said sincerely, "Grandpa, just leave me be and let me operate things on my own."

Kathleen wasn't trying to be a hero.

After carefully analyzing all of the many elements involved, she came to the conclusion that it was unlikely for Charlie to attack her.

She pondered to herself, 'If Charlie

Wade really did reach the Dark

life,

met

Realm and wanted to take my he wouldn't have gone through so much hassle. He could've just made a move on me and solved the problem once and for all.'

'But he didn't. He chose to play along and even took me to the suburbs for dinner. He probably thought that it wouldn't be too much trouble. Even after dealing with Mr. Larson, he didn't turn against me or have a fall out with me. This proves that he really doesn't want to do anything to me.'

'Perhaps, he simply wants me to be more sensible and go away on my own...'

As Kathleen thought of this, a strong desire to win surged in her heart.

The more Charlie wanted her to leave, the more she refused!

What's more, this would be her last chance to prove herself to her grandfather. If she didn't seize the opportunity, then there would be absolutely no way for her to turn things around for her family in the future! She gave herself a little pep talk and encouragement. 'People say that money comes from danger. I must seize the opportunity!'
