When Kathleen heard that Lady Acker wanted to see Charlie, she hurriedly said, “I’m sorry, Lady Acker. Your benefactor’s whereabouts are uncertain. He simply gave me the pill this time and left after telling me he had a lot of other important things to do.”
Strictly speaking, Kathleen was not lying.
This was because Charlie’s whereabouts were indeed uncertain, especially during this recent period of time when he had traveled from Canada to the United States, Hong Kong, and then to Mexico. Kathleen also did not know his specific plan.
Moreover, it was indeed true that Charlie had left the Fox family’s freezing center.
He had rushed back to Shangri-La to prepare for the arrival of the Ito family and Yashita.
When Lady Acker heard Kathleen saying that their benefactor had already left, she was very disappointed and said, “Our benefactor saved our family that day, and he has saved Merlin now. We can never repay him for his great kindness even in a few lifetimes, yet he is not even giving us any chance to repay him...”
Kathleen consoled her and said, “Lady Acker, not to mention you, but I too owe a great favor to my benefactor since a long time ago and have not had the opportunity to repay him yet. So, I can only do my best for him now.”
Christian took advantage of this opportunity to ask, “Miss Fox, when Lord Fox suddenly fell ill at the auction in Aurous Hill and your uncle seized the opportunity to seize power, Lord Fox suddenly took a turn for the better, and the two of you were then able to return to New York and even regain control of the Fox family. If my guess is correct, this matter was also because of our benefactor’s help, right?”
“That’s right.” Kathleen did not hide anything and simply nodded as she said, “If it weren’t for my benefactor, my grandfather wouldn’t have survived in Aurous Hill. The two of us also wouldn’t have been able to escape my uncle’s pursuit.”
Christian’s eyes lit up as he said, “In that case, the benefactor who saved us that day is actually the benefactor who rescued you in Aurous Hill. In other words, he is the true boss behind the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill and may even be the real owner of the Rejuvenating Pill, right?”
