The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Marianne had just arrived at the main entrance of Scarlet Pinnacle Manor.

She never expected that Logan would have such a magnificent manor in this kind of place.

Although many wealthy people's mansions were also built on the mountains in Hong Kong, no one could own a whole mountain by himself. The villas on Steerlain Island were nothing compared to his exclusive villa.

The car drove into the manor and stopped outside the grand entrance of the main building of the one-story compound.

This place was like a hotel, designed with a wide porch to park three cars side by side. Logan and his wife held hands as they walked out of the main hall to welcome her.

As soon as Marianne got out of the car, she saw the elderly couple smiling brightly as they walked out. She hurried forward to greet them and said respectfully, "Grandpa, Grandma, it's been a long time, but you two are still in such good health!"

Logan smiled and said, “Marianne, we haven't seen each other for so many years and you've turned into such a beautiful and elegant young lady!"

Marianne smiled and said, "Grandpa, I'm afraid I'm already an old lady."

The elderly lady who was aside stepped forward and took Marianne's hand as she said dotingly, "Marianne, you're beginning to look more and more like your mother. The last time I saw you was when your grandfather passed away. You haven't been to Singapore or Malaysia to visit me."

Lady Carrick was very fond of Marianne's mother. In the early years when Marianne's grandfather was still around, the two families would often meet for gatherings. Marianne's mother was gentle, virtuous, sensible, and elegant, so Lady Carrick, who did not have any daughters, truly adored her.

Marianne often met with the Carrick family when she was young, and Lady Carrick doted on her very much. Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, Lady Carrick felt a little more emotional when she felt as if she could see Marianne's mother in her.

Marianne said with some embarrassment, "Grandma, I haven't left Hong Kong much over the past few years because of my studies and some other reasons, so I haven't been able to visit you. Please don't hold it against me..."

Lady Carrick replied earnestly, "I

understand. When your mother passed away, Logan was accompanying me to see a doctor in the United States, so we couldn't see her off for the last time. I feetvery ashamed and sorry whenever I think about it even after all these years." swnovel

Ever since her mother's death, apart from her own sister, Marianne had rarely experienced any family affection. She also could not rely on her father, so she had naturally alienated all her other relatives.

However, she did not expect that Lady Carrick would feel ashamed because she had been unable to go to Hong Kong to attend her mother's funeral back then. She felt a lump in her throat, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

Although Logan and his wife had been unable to attend her mother's funeral back then, several descendants of the Carrick family had rushed over to attend the funeral. It was already impeccable for the juniors from the Carrick family to attend a late generation's funeral.

As Marianne thought of this, she also felt a little ashamed and said to Lady Carrick, “Grandma, please don't say that. My mother was your junior, and she definitely would not want you to exhaust yourself by running around because of her affairs..."

With that said, she also said frankly, "I've also kept to myself ever since my mother passed away. I haven't been able to see you, and I haven't called you much. I really feel bad about it...”

When Lady Carrick saw that

Marianne was in a somewhat sad

mood, she patted the back of Marianne's hand and comforted her, "Well, it's all in the past. When you come to work at Aurous University in the future, you have to come over often. I'll be here with Logan for the time being." swnovel

"Okay!" Marianne agreed without hesitation, "I'll definitely come to see you often when the time comes!"

Logan then spoke up, "Marianne, let's go in and talk. My cousin's granddaughter has just completed the admission procedures at Aurous University. She will be starting her freshman year. I will introduce you to her later. She will be a freshman at the university, and you will be a lecturer there in the future. I hope that you can help me to take good care of her." swnovel

Marianne asked in surprise, "Grandpa, your cousin's granddaughter is going to study at Aurous University?"

"Yes." Logan said with a smile, "The two of us came to Aurous Hill this time not just to look around but also to help her complete the admission procedures. I didn't expect you to come to Aurous University to apply for a job too. What a coincidence!"noveldrama

As he spoke, Logan saw Vera walking over from the hall, so he smiled and said to Marianne, "She's here!"
