The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5664

“I hastily settled my father down temporarily, and he gave me an unknown pill, instructing me to take it obediently without asking any questions.”

“I didn't know the effects of this pill, but I couldn't defy my father's orders. So, I took the pill. After taking it, my father told me what pill it was and its effects.”

As she spoke, her eyes reddened, and she said in a soft voice, “As for why my father didn't take it himself but gave me the Eternal Pill, it was because he said he didn't want to witness the day when he, as a father, had to watch me grow old and slowly die before him. My father also said that if there was a pill that allowed a father to live on, watching his daughter gradually age and die, that pill is not an elixir but a poison.”

“My father said he had to die before me to be at peace, and since I was still young, unmarried, and had no worries, after taking the Eternal Pill, I could live well for five hundred years.”

Charlie suddenly thought of something and blurted out, “You said you're over three hundred years old, so your children…”

Vera glared at Charlie and said indignantly, “Young Master, even though I've lived for over three hundred years, I'm still a pure young girl, and I’ve never been married. Moreover, I've been hunted for so many years, and I change locations and identities every so often. How could I have children?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. My bad,” Charlie quickly apologized.

Vera sighed and said softly, “My father specifically instructed me that if I didn't want to have too many attachments in the first four hundred years, I must remain single…”

Charlie asked curiously, “Why?”

Vera explained, “Because the Eternal Pill will not make me age in the first four hundred years. It will only make me gradually grow old at a certain point in time, only in the last one hundred years.”

Vera wiped her tears with her sleeves, then sobbed as she continued, “After burying my father, I left home and began over three hundred years of fleeing…”

Charlie exclaimed, “You've been hunted for over three hundred years?! By whom? The Qing Eliminating Society?”

Vera’s expression became complicated as she said, “In fact, the Qing Eliminating Society was co-founded by my father and his sworn brother and close friend, Flynn Wiley. They founded the Qing Eliminating Society to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore peace. However, the Qing Eliminating Society changed completely after my father's death. It has no connection with its original purpose at all. The one hunting me is the later Qing Eliminating Society and its leader, named the British Lord.”

Charlie blurted out, “Is Flynn Wiley the leader of the later Qing Eliminating Society?”

Vera shook her head, “No, the leader of the later Qing Eliminating Society is Flynn Wiley’s sister, Fleur Wiley.”
