The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family



At this moment, Kathleen felt that all of her plans and rhythm had instantly been disrupted by Charlie's sudden invitation.

She did not even know what Charlie's purpose was.

Was it just that he simply wanted to invite her to participate in the auction, or had he detected her motives long ago and so, he was deliberately taking advantage of the situation?

Hence, she suddenly did not know how to react for a while.

Just as she was at a loss for words, Charlie then asked a follow-up question, "Miss Jane, are you not interested in this kind of auction? In truth, you don't have to worry too much. I'm not helping the auction to

attract customers, but I just think that this auction might be more interesting and so, I wanted to invite you, as a guest who came from afar, to come over and enjoy it. You could also kill some boredom and pass time there."

As Charlie spoke, he laughed and said," After all, I am also married. It would be more or less inappropriate if I invited you out to watch a movie. However, it does not matter if you are not interested, Miss Jane. You don't have to feel any psychological burden."

Charlie's words eased Kathleen's nervousness a lot, and she hurriedly said," No, no, I am still quite interested in this kind of occasion."

As she spoke, in order not to show that she knew something about this auction, she even pretended to be curious and asked, "M

r. Wade, may I ask what is this auction that you're referring to all about?"

Charlie knew that Kathleen was acting and so, he casually laughed and said, "Most of them are some antiques, painting, and calligraphy. Other than that, there is also a rather niche medicine with very miraculous effects. I wonder if Miss Jane would be willing to come?"

Kathleen felt very conflicted in her heart. This was because her grandfather had already brought Jarvis into Shangri-La with him and so, Kathleen was originally mentally prepared to not be able to participate in this auction.

However, now that a VIP seat was suddenly available, she naturally wanted to go in and see what it was like.

However, Kathleen was worried that she would bump into some acquaintances if she went.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Other than that, Old Master Lennard would recognize her, and if she were to meet Old Master Lennard in front of Charlie, she really did not know how to explain her way out of the situation.

As Kathleen thought of this, she

realized that she still had to take the big picture into account and that she should not expose her true identity in front of Charlie before the auction started.

So, she said to Charlie, "Mr. Wade, I am quite interested in the auction, but I'm still somewhat uncomfortable with making public appearances..."

Charlie smiled and said, "You don't

have to worry about this, Miss Jane.

As a VIP, you can choose to sit in the VIP seats in the first row, or you can choose to sit in the VIP private room on the second floor. If you'd like to maintain a low profile, you can sit in the VIP private room, then."

Kathleen relaxed a little. In that case, the only person that she would need to worry about was Old Master Kennard.

So, she asked curiously, "Mr. Wade, how many VIPs are there in total at this auction that you are talking about? Will the other VIPs be sitting in the private room too, then?"

Charlie knew what she was worried

about and he immediately said, "Miss Jane, you don't have to worry. There are only four VIPS in total this time, and you are the fourth. Aside from you, all the other VIPS will be sitting in the first row, and you will not have any interactions with them if you choose the private room."

Kathleen was relieved. In that case, she basically had nothing to worry about.

So, she smiled and said, "That's great! I don't like showing my face in public, but I'd like to experience more of this world! This arrangement is really good!"

After saying that, Kathleen deliberately asked, "By the way, Mr. Wade, are you the one holding this auction?"
