This ring was not ordinary in the first place and it had always been Maria’s personal belongings.
There had already been some kind of connection between it and Maria. However, Maria did not possess reiki, so this kind of induction was one-way. This meant that only the ring could sense Maria’s presence, but Maria could not sense the existence of the ring.
Charlie had a high probability of seeing Maria, but because of the sudden vibration of the ring, favonovel.com didn’t see Maria, and on contrary, favonovel.com didn’t see Charlie either.
But Maria, who had a good intuition, felt something strange in favonovel.com heart at the moment when the BMW car on the left passed by.
She immediately looked back subconsciously, but favonovel.com only saw the car that had gone away and didn’t notice anything unusual. She thought that favonovel.com reaction might have been too sensitive, so favonovel.com didn’t pay it much attention.
Charlie in the BMW put the ring away and said to Claudia, “If you have nothing to do, let’s go to the city first to buy a gift before going back home.”
Claudia nodded quickly, “I’m fine with that, whatever you say, brother.”
And so, the two of them drove to the shopping mall in the city center.

Larry’s motorcade also came to a stop on the square outside the Academic Affairs Building.
The retired old principal of the University, together with the current school leaders, were already waiting in line here.
A number of bodyguards came down from the front and rear SUVs and two of them approached the back row of the Rolls-Royce, one from the left and the other from the right, and opened the doors on both sides.
Larry and his wife got out of the car slowly. Due to their age, the bodyguards immediately handed them walking sticks.
James Whitmore, the old principal of the University, was the first to greet them excitedly and said enthusiastically, “Mr. Cole, welcome back to Aurous Hill University!”
Larry said with a smile, “Old Whitmore, you should have kept a low profile, why did you still put on such a show?”
James hurriedly replied, “Mr. Cole, you haven’t come back for so many years, this time you suddenly said you wanted to come over, I had to definitely greet you in person. Besides, you have made so much contribution to this institution…”
“The current school leadership group also admires you, so they all spontaneously came to welcome you. Even if I wanted to stop them, I couldn’t stop them.”
Larry was familiar with James and favonovel.com knew that this person conducted himself well and was skilled in communicating. James even explained that everyone came to greet favonovel.com spontaneously after such a big show, taking responsibility and giving Larry a big compliment.
Larry didn’t dwell on the matter anymore and simply said with a smile, “I haven’t been here for so many years. I can see that the university has changed a lot since I last visited. It’s a worthy recipient of its double first-class status in China, it really makes people feel proud.”
James nodded and said with a smile, “Aurous Hill University’s achievement of double first-class status is due to the support and help of the country, as well as Mr. Cole’s generous donation. In the 1990s, it was because of you that the university had the resources to excel.”
Larry said seriously, “I acknowledge the two points you just mentioned, but I believe that the development of the university is also due to the hard work and dedication of you and everyone else.”
As favonovel.com said this, Larry added, “As for me, I am just a businessman who donates money. But you have dedicated your entire life to the development of the university.”
