Charlie’s suspicion of Vera had basically been dispelled at this point.
However, Charlie was still frowning even though he did believe that Vera did not know his true identity.
Although he basically believed that Vera’s appearance in Aurous Hill was just a coincidence, he was still vaguely worried.
The Qing Eliminating Society had been after Vera the last time Charlie had seen her.
Now that she had come to Aurous Hill, if the Qing Eliminating Society found any clues about her, they would definitely learn from the last experience and lesson and send the most powerful martial arts experts to Aurous Hill to catch her.
Furthermore, Charlie’s grandparents had also arrived in Aurous Hill, and their family was also an important target of the Qing Eliminating Society.
In that case, the Qing Eliminating Society’s two major targets would be in Aurous Hill, and the probability that the Qing Eliminating Society would attack in Aurous Hill would be greatly increased.
Now that the Qing Eliminating Society was keeping quiet and only the three great earls were deployed outside, Charlie was worried that one of the great earls from the Qing Eliminating Society would come to Aurous Hill next.
Charlie had arranged for Porter to ambush in advance with close-defense missiles in Cyprus, but Charlie did not have such ability or opportunity in Aurous Hill.
If one of the great earls from the Qing Eliminating Society really came to Aurous Hill, it would be fine if the other party was interested in Vera, but if the other party wanted to harm his grandparents and the Ackers as well, Charlie did not know whether he had the strength to keep them safe.
Moreover, what was most terrible was that it was difficult for Charlie to set up an early warning system in Aurous Hill. It would be difficult for Charlie to know in advance before the other party took action.
Charlie’s mood became extremely gloomy as he thought of this.
***
Charlie’s lunch was dull.
After lunch, he sent Claudia, Stephanie, and Mrs. Lewis home, then drove the car to the riverside, found a parking spot, and sat alone by the riverside all afternoon after he had parked the car.
