The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Marianne was relieved when she heard Shawn's words.

She could not help but mutter, "Dad, why didn't you tell me in advance that Mr. and Mrs. Carrick are here? That way, I could have prepared some gifts for them in advance. It's inappropriate for me to visit them empty-handed now..."

Shawn smiled and said, "As far as your personality is concerned, if I told you about it, you definitely would not want to go. You would surely say that you're simply going for an interview and it's better not to bother others. You would also instruct me not to tell anyone about this. I'm your father, so don't I know you well enough?"

Marianne was speechless for a moment. She felt that what her father had said was reasonable. It was usually difficult for her to get along with her father because of her personality, so if her father had told her about it, they would probably have ended up arguing.

So, she said, "Okay, I'll visit Mr. and Mrs. Carrick first, then."

Shawn said with a smile, "Good girl! Have a great meal with Mr. and Mrs. Carrick and come back early after the interview. I'll pick you up at the airport."

Marianne subconsciously replied, "No need. I drove to the airport, so I can drive back myself."

Shawn said casually, "I'll ask Miriam to drive the car back for you. It's a deal, then. Goodbye."

Shawn then hung up the phone without waiting for Marianne to agree.

Although Marianne was helpless, she also knew that with her father's temperament, once he had already decided to do something, he would find a way to achieve it no matter what it was. He was simply going to pick her up at the airport, so she did not need to reject the notion too much.

Hence, she put her cell phone away and said to Madam Marilyn, "I'm sorry, Madam Marilyn. I misunderstood you just now. I hope you won't hold it against me."

Madam Marilyn responded with a smile, "Don't worry about it, Miss Marianne."

After that, she pointed at a Rolls-Royce that was not too far away. "The car is over there. Let's go, Miss Marianne."noveldrama

"Okay.” Marianne nodded. She followed Madam Marilyn into the Rolls-Royce, and the Rolls-Royce then drove toward Scarlet Pinnacle Manor.

Along the way, Marilyn looked left and right, just like Vera had when she had first arrived in Aurous Hill.

Madam Marilyn, who was in the passenger seat, looked back at Marianne and asked with a smile, "Miss Marianne, is this your first time in Aurous Hill?"

"Yes." Marianne nodded slightly. "I've never been here before."

Madam Marilyn smiled and said, "I heard from Mr. Carrick that you're going to apply for a job at Aurous University. Can I ask you why you chose to come to Aurous Hill instead of staying in Hong Kong to develop your career when you've never been here before? Aurous Hill is quite inferior compared to Hong Kong in terms of the city's development level, after all."

What subconsciously came to Marianne's mind when she heard this question was Charlie.

She had naturally come here because of Charlie, but she still did not know what the final result would be.
