Chapter 2019


    Charlie never expected ine to be able to judge Loreen so urately.


    In truth, Charlie had already guessed her true motive when Loreen initially arrived at the Emgrand


    Group.


    It had to be because the Thomas family had heard the news that the Wade family had arranged for


    a descendant to be in Aurous Hill, and they had even bought the Emgrand Group as a gift for that


    descendant. Therefore, the Thomas family must have felt that this was the perfect opportunity for


    them to get ahead of everyone else. This was the reason why they arranged for Loreen to work in


    the Emgrand Group.


    Charlie had initially nned to prevent Loreen from being able to contact him during her time in the


    Emgrand Group. If that was the case, if she failed to encounter him even after a long time, Charlie


    believed that she would certainly leave Aurous Hill soon.


    However, who would have expected Loreen to fall in love with Charlie instead?


    Therefore, from the moment Loreen had confessed her love to Charlie, he already knew that it


    would be impossible for him to shake this woman off for a very long time.


    When ire heard her mother saying that Loreen


    must have other ns for staying in Aurous Hill for such a long time, she could not help but smile as


    she said, "Mom, what are you thinking of? She is just here because of work. She does not have any


    other ns or intentions!” 6


    ine gave an artificial smile as she said, “Let me ask you a question, then. If your family has a


    hundred billion dors, would you work for a job that pays you an annual sry of several million


    dors a year?" i


    ire thought for a while before she said, "Perhaps she simply wants to be an independent woman,


    or perhaps she simply wants to work hard to build up her career in her workce. It might also be


    purely because of her own feelings.”


    "Feelings?!" ine waved her hand before she said solemnly, "Oh, my dear daughter! You don''t


    understand! In this world, the pauper might have a little of these so-called feelings, but the rich


    people definitely do not have it!"


    As she continued, ine spoke with certainty as she said, “These rich people are always doing


    everything because of profit and interest. All of their energy is focused on making even more


    money. So, it ispletely impossible for them toe and waste their time in a small ce like


    this!"


    "The only possible exnation is that they have already taken a fancy to something in this small


    ce. Perhaps there might even be a valuable treasure hidden in Aurous Hill!"


    ire replied helplessly, "Mom! This is actually a very simple thing, but how did you manage to


    make it seem so mysterious..." 1


    ine replied solemnly, "You should believe me!


    When I was young, I heard my grandma say that their hometown was located deep in a mountain.


    They would only see a few outsiders around the mountain throughout the year. The rich people


    would never go there at all. However, there was one year when several wealthy people started


    going there to donate money to build some temples, and some would even donatend and


    temples because they said that the spirits and deities there were very efficacious..." 1


    "The people living in the mountains were all very puzzled because they had never heard that the


    deities and spirits there were efficacious at all. If there were truly real Gods on the mountain, how


    could they possibly be so poor to the point that they would always have to worry about putting food


    on the table for their next meal, then? This was not logical at all, right?" 3


    ire nodded as she said, "It does seem a little strange. What happened next?"


    ine replied, "After that, this continued for several years, and dozens ofrge and small temples


    had already been built, but the people on the mountain were still extremely poor. It was only when a


    great detective from Eastcliff came all the way to the mountain to investigate the case that everyone


    finally realized that the reason why those rich people came t o the mountain to make donations to


    build a temple was because they wanted to get to an ancient tomb!"

    "Ahh?! Tomb robbers?!" ire replied embarrassedly, " Mom, have you been reading too many


    novels? Where can you find so many tomb robbers that you see in novels here in real life?!"


    ine replied seriously, "Do you think that the tomb robbers that you see in novels are really


    incredible? Let me tell you, there are more tomb robbers in realitypared to what is usually


    described in novels!" 3


    Having said that, ine rolled up her sleeves before she gestured excitedly with her hands as she


    said, " Let me tell you, the tomb was just under the mountain behind my grandmother''s house!


    However, the vigers living on the mountain did not know about it at all. During those few years, all


    sorts of tomb robbers used the excuse of giving donations to build a temple t o build dozens of


    tunnels below the temple, and they nearly hollowed out the entire bottom of the mountain!”
