Chapter 2019

Charlie did not expect that Elaine’s judgment of Loreen could be so accurate. In fact, when Loreen had just arrived at the Emgrand Group, Charlie had already guessed her motive. The Thomas family must have heard that the Wade family had arranged an offspring in Aurous Hills and had also bought the Emgrand Group to give to the other party, so the Thomas family thought that this was a good opportunity to take the first step to arrange Loreen over. Originally, Charlie planned to just not allow Loreen to contact him in the Emgrand Group, so that she would not be able to find him for a long time and believed that she would leave Aurous Hills before long. But who would have thought that Loreen would coincidentally fall in love with him. From the moment she confessed to Charlie, Charlie knew in his heart that this woman would be impossible to shake off for a while. On this side, Claire heard her mother say that Loreen came to Aurous Hills and actually had other plans, so she couldn’t help but laugh, “Mom, where were you thinking, she just came to work, how could she have any other plans.” Elaine said with a smile on her face, “Then let me ask you, if your family had a hundred billion dollars, would you take a job that pays several million a year?” Claire thought about it and said, “People might just want to be an independent woman ah, or they might just want to work on their own in the workplace, or maybe it’s simply because of sentiment.” “Emotions?!” Elaine waved her hand and said seriously, “Oh daughter, you don’t understand! In this world, the poor may really have some so-called sentimentality, but the rich definitely don’t!” Saying that, Elaine added with a certainty, “This group of rich people, all of them are profitless guys, all of their energy is focused on making money, and they can’t wait to waste time to utilize and create a little value, so there’s no way they will run to a small place to waste time!” “The only explanation is that they’re interested in something in this small place, and it’s not possible, ah, our Aurous Hills is still hiding some great treasure of great value!”

Claire said helplessly, “Mom, it was quite a simple thing, how could it be so mysterious as you said…” Elaine said in a serious manner, “Don’t believe it yet! When I was little, I heard from my grandmother that their old home was in a mountain nest, and they didn’t see many outsiders all year round, and rich people didn’t even go to them, but from a certain year on, every year there would be a few rich people who would go to them and donate money to build temples, some to land temples, some to temples, saying that their gods there were very spiritual…” “The people in the mountains were all very puzzled and thought, " I haven't heard that we have any very spiritual gods here. If we did, how could we be so poor and eat the last meal without the next one? " It's not logical, is it?” Claire nodded, “It’s indeed a bit strange, then?” Elaine said: “And then it’s been like this for years, dozens of temples of all sizes have been built, but we’re still poor as hell, until a big detective from Eastcliff investigated the case all the way to the mountains, and everyone realized that the rich people, who came to the mountains to donate temples, were trying to steal a big tomb from the Ming Dynasty!” “Huh? Tomb raiding?” Claire said awkwardly, “Mom, you’ve read too many novels, haven’t you? Where are all those fictional grave robbers!” Elaine said seriously, “Do you think the grave robbers in the novels are mysterious? I’m telling you, there are a lot more grave robbers in reality than what’s described in fiction!” Saying that, Elaine pushed up her sleeves and gestured with her hands in excitement, “I’m telling you, that big tomb is under that mountain behind your grandmother’s house, but the people in the village have never known about it! During those years, various grave robbers used the name of donating to build a temple to drill dozens of holes underneath the temple, and they were about to hollow out the bottom of a mountain!”
