That night, after Marianne had settled the newly purchased household necessities, she returned to Scarlet Pinnacle Manor with Madam Marilyn.
Both Logan and his wife were also very happy when they learned that Marianne had been hired. He asked the servants to organize an elaborate celebration feast at home as a celebration for Marianne.
To Logan’s surprise, Vera, who never liked such festivities, also joined in happily.
At the dinner table, Logan said to Marianne, “Marianne, if you have nothing to do when you come to Aurous Hill to work in the future, you can come and live at Scarlet Pinnacle Manor and ask Marilyn to arrange a big room for you!”
Marianne hurriedly said, “Lord Carrick, Madam Marilyn accompanied me to buy a house in Aurous Hill in the afternoon, and the university will also provide me with an apartment in the future.”
Logan said in surprise, “You already bought a house? It’s safer for you to live here, and it’d be more convenient for you to live here with Marilyn and the others taking care of you.”
Lady Carrick, who was aside, also agreed, “That’s right, Marianne. You can save yourself a lot of trouble if you live here. You probably don’t have many relatives and friends here in Aurous Hill aside from us, and it’s quite worrying for a girl to live outside by herself.”
Marianne explained, “The security at the neighborhood where I bought the house is quite good. Besides, the law and order in Oskia is much better than in Hong Kong, and no one knows of my identity here, so there shouldn’t be any danger.”
Logan knew that she had already made up her mind, so he nodded and said, “You’ll be living permanently in Aurous Hill in the future, so don’t hesitate to ask us if you need any help. You can also look for Marilyn even if we are not here.”
Having said that, he added, “I’ll transfer some more manpower from Malaysia over the next few days so that I can respond quickly if there’s anything.”
Vera did not have much manpower at the moment, and after the exposure in Northern Europe, she only had one loyal subordinate left who hadn't arrived in Oskia yet. The rest were existences such as Emmett and Logan.
In order to ensure Vera’s safety, Logan and Emmett had reached a consensus to secretly dispatch troops to Aurous Hill to ensure Vera’s safety.
For Logan, since Marianne was like his granddaughter, he had to take good care of her in the future.
