Keagan handed the phone to Maria, who smiled and said, “I wouldn’t dare to take the word noble.”
Larry, on the other end of the call, asked in surprise, “Miss… Miss? Is that you?”
Maria confirmed that it was indeed favonovel.com and then got straight to the point, “I have some personal matters to attend to and I came to ask Keagan for help. I plan to go to Aurous Hill and may need to stay there for a while. Do you have a house there where I can stay?”
Larry responded quickly, “Yes! Yes! Yes, of course! I have a hilltop villa in Purple Mountain, inside the forest park in Aurous Hill. It’s not open to the public and I have a few cars and a helicopter there that are all taken care of. I’ll make the arrangements for you right away.”
Maria didn’t mince words and said, “Okay, go ahead and make the arrangements. I’ll arrive in the afternoon.”
Larry responded, “Sure, Miss! I’ll take care of it immediately!”
Maria added, “By the way, tell your subordinates that I’m your distant granddaughter and that I’m going to college in Aurous Hill. That’s why you’re lending me your house for a while.”
Larry responded, “Of course, Miss…”
Maria then asked, “I really want to study at a university in Aurous Hill. Do you have any connections there?”
Larry replied, “Yes, I do. I donated 500 million to Aurous Hill University and half of the new campus was built with my donation back then. If you don’t mind, I can arrange for you to study at Aurous Hill University, which is the best university in the province. It would be my pleasure.”
Maria exclaimed, “Great! Then let’s go there!”
She then remembered something and asked Larry, “By the way, where are you living right now?”
Larry answered, “I’m currently in Singapore. I’ve been living in Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia for all these years and, as I’m old, I don’t travel far anymore.”
Maria thought for a moment and said, “Then it would be difficult for you to arrange a Malaysian identity for me and let me go to Aurous Hill to study under the identity of a Malaysian student.”
Larry subconsciously said, “Miss, wouldn’t it be better to have a Singaporean identity?”
Maria replied, “Singapore? No, I don’t want to go there. The country is too small, too tightly managed, and it would be inconvenient to hide and easily exposed. I have to go there personally and then fly an open trip to China, so I need a new identity.”
Larry said, “Okay, I’ll prepare a Malaysian identity for you.”
Maria added, “Just find a suitable family from your distant relatives to put me in and then submit the information to Aurous Hill University. Have them send me a letter of acceptance.”
Larry responded, “Of course, Miss. What name do you want to use?”
Maria smiled and said, “If I can find a family with the surname Clark, then I’ll call myself Cathy Clark. If not, Maria is fine.”
Larry said, “No problem. I’ll arrange it right away.”
Maria said, “Then I won’t go to Aurous Hill today. I’ll go to Malaysia first.”
