The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5783

“Later on, I also thought, instead of constantly running, it might be better to just leave the ring to Fleur so that she would stop pursuing me and let me live out the rest of my life peacefully. Upon second thoughts, Fleur was the one who murdered my father. If I compromised and begged for mercy from her, what's the difference between me and Sanguine, who let the Qing dynasty in? We would both be traitors, then.”

After saying this, Vera said, “After understanding all this, I decided that no matter how difficult it is, I must survive. No matter how hard it is, I cannot compromise and give in to Fleur. As long as I can survive, I will definitely outlive Fleur. At that time, I will have the last laugh.”

Charlie said firmly, “Don't worry, you will definitely outlive her.”

Vera nodded earnestly and said, “I'm sure you will outlive me, Young Master. After I die, please bother to bury my ashes next to my parents. My life will be complete then.”

Charlie said seriously, “Don't worry, if I can find the recipe for the Infinite Pill and the specific refining method, I will make you live like the legendary Marcius Stark, to a thousand years.”

Vera sighed and shook her head subconsciously, “Living for four hundred years is already very difficult. I dare not nor do I want to think about living for a thousand years. Even if you really manage to refine the Infinite Pill, I don’t want to take it anymore…”

When Charlie heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Vera from his peripheral vision. When he saw her serious expression that was filled with a hint of melancholy, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He knew that Vera must have suffered a lot in the past three hundred years, much more than many people could imagine or have seen. People often say that those who lived long endured more hardships than ordinary people walked in their lifetime, but for Vera, the hardships she endured were probably more than what many people heard or saw.

So, he comforted her, “If Fleur is gone, living wouldn't be so difficult anymore.”

Vera shook her head repeatedly. “Even then, I don't want to live for five hundred more years. I’ve already lived long enough.”

After that, she took out her cell phone and checked the status of Fleur's flight, smiling as she said, “Fleur just took off from Melbourne, and the second part of her journey hasn't changed. Her destination is still Mandalay, Myanmar.”

Charlie nodded and asked her, “How likely do you think she'll come to Stoneridge?”

Vera said, “One hundred percent.”

Charlie asked, “How can you be so sure?”

Vera smiled and explained, “Fleur is extremely arrogant. From what I know about her, since my father repeatedly rejected her kindness back then, she must still hold a grudge against him after all these years. Since she chose to pass through Myanmar this time, she will definitely come to Stoneridge!”
