NOVPUBChapter 1212: 544 Shuwei (First Watch)_1 Chapter 1212: 544 Shuwei (First Watch)_1 Charlotte Aria slowly sipped her tea, her tone indifferent, “Do you hope to be handed over to the police by Loretta, or do you want to stay and work at the Arias?
The choice is yours.”
“The police?
He would call the police for a small matter like this?
Cousin, do you know he has a woman?
It was that woman who knocked me out.” Seraphine Moore rubbed the back of her head in frustration.
Catherine Liam was mentally exhausted, “You don’t know, something big happened at the Arias last night, not only the police…”
Catherine Liam didn’t know how to explain, she was not a fool, if Seraphine Moore had been taken away by the police, they would have brought her out by now. 𝒏𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
“In any case, just stay at the Arias for a while, you will visibly be a servaant, but I will not make you work.”
“Thank you, cousin.” Seraphine Moore knew when to stop; she couldn’t insist any further.
...
It was also good to stay at the Arias – Being within reach, she would always find another opportunity to fight.
Catherine Liam arranged a room for Seraphine Moore to rest, then led Charlotte Aria aside.
“Where did you find her?”
“Loretta told me.”
Catherine Liam frowned, “Will she be so kind-hearted?
I don’t know what evil scheme she has.”
Catherine Liam had the title but the real power was in the hands of that girl Loretta.
She must get the power back before my son’s wedding.
“Oh, right, I must find an opportunity to put that girl in her place, to show her what it means to be humble.
She’s from a small place, but she dares to dream about lofty status.
My son was fooled by her; he even lost his soul.
Now, he couldn’t even protect his own life.
I’m curious to see how the Cooks deal with her now.”
“Mother,” Charlotte Aria reminded her, “Aubree is my aunt’s daughter and grandmother’s granddaughter.
Please stop saying such things.”
“Are you stupid?” Catherine Liam tapped her head with her finger.
“Your grandmother is biased.
Now her own grandchild is back, of course she would be more biased!
I’m telling you, your grandmother has many precious things.
We can’t let that girl take advantage.”
Catherine Liam looked at the Quadrangle Courtyard in front of her, with an ambitious gleam in her eyes.
She had it appraised, this Quadrangle Courtyard was worth a fortune.
Having become accustomed to living here, she did not want to move.
“Whatever grandmother has, she can give it to whoever she wants.”
Lowering her voice and looking around, Catherine Liam said mysteriously, “I’m telling you, forget about the Quadrangle Courtyard and your grandmother’s antique collection.
What’s really valuable in the Aria is not these; it’s the hidden treasure.”
Charlotte narrowed her eyes, “Hidden treasure?”
“Mother, you mean the treasure of Kannon Hayley?” Charlotte Aria laughed, “That’s a ridiculous rumour, I can’t believe you fell for it.”
She had heard the rumours vividly, but Charlotte Aria had been living in the Aria family for many years, and she knew every corner of it.
It was totally impossible.
“Don’t dismiss it yet.
A rumour wouldn’t rise from nowhere.
Kannon Hayley is a notorious corrupt official in history.
He would have amassed a great fortune from the people.
He lost his wife and children when he fled.
Even if he had more than ten hands, he couldn’t take all the treasures.
It must be hidden somewhere under this ground.
It is said to be so rich that it could rival a country.
During the most chaotic time, this house was seized.
The government sent people to search but they couldn’t find anything.
Afraid of being criticized, so they returned the house to your great-grandfather.
I heard from your father that he was watched every day during his childhood.
It’s suspicious.
I suspect that only your grandmother knows where the entrance to the treasure is.
After all, before Kannon Hayley, this manor had always belonged to the Murong family.”
“Moreover, I’m telling you, why did Virginia Frost kidnap Vanessa Aria, and use a fake to pretend?
I thought about it all last night and I couldn’t figure out her motive.
She had no dispute with the Arias, but then I understood it later, it’s absolutely for the treasure.
But the fake was too stupid, and the old lady was too smart.
She never really trusted the other one.
I bet the old lady absolutely knows where the treasure is.”
The tone of Catherine Liam was firm, it was not a matter of whether there was a treasure, but where the treasure was.
Charlotte Aria glanced at Catherine Liam unconsciously.
She has to admit, although her mother could be careless at times, she became incredibly alert when it comes to self-interest.
“That girl’s origins are unknown, who knows if she is another fake.
In short, she definitely cannot benefit.
You must pay more attention, try to act dutiful in front of the old lady, so she won’t replace you with the new girl.
Understand?”
