Vera expected that Charlie would certainly come back from the moment he left.
Therefore, she could not relax for a moment and pretended to be calm as she unpacked her personal belongings.
When Charlie returned to the dormitory, the door was still open. He opened the door directly and said coldly, “Vera Lavor, what is your purpose in coming to Aurous Hill?”
Charlie’s sudden question startled Vera, who was unpacking her things, but this startled action was something she had practiced countless times.
Vera exclaimed at the right time, then turned around and looked at Charlie nervously as she asked with extreme vigilance, “Who… Who are you?!”
Charlie sneered and asked her, “You chased me all the way here but you’re still asking who I am? Aren’t you being too fake?”
Vera showed even more fear, and she could not help but take a step back as she said nervously, “Who… Who are you? How did you know about the name Vera Lavor?!”
Charlie sneered and said, “What? You’re still pretending? Here, let me show you something!”
As he spoke, he took out the ring that was vibrating in his pocket. Vera cooperated as well and showed an even more surprised expression as she blurted out, “Why do you have this ring?! Give it back to me!”
She then rushed forward and tried to snatch the ring from Charlie’s hand.
Charlie frowned. Judging from Vera’s performance, it seemed that this girl really did not remember him. She did not remember that he had met her before, she did not remember that he had saved her, and she did not remember that she had taken the initiative to give him the ring.
However, Charlie did not dare to come to this conclusion, so he raised the ring high and said coldly, “You were the one who gave this ring to me. Are you refusing to admit it or do you really not remember it?”
Vera blurted out angrily, “Impossible! This ring is a relic that my father left to me! I’ve always regarded it as a treasure, and there is absolutely no way I would have given it to you! You must have stolen it from me! Tell me, are you a member of the Qing Eliminating Society?!”
Charlie was even more confused when he heard her mention the Qing Eliminating Society directly as soon as she spoke up.
He was also a little confused as to whether this girl’s series of performances were real or fake.
