Faced with this proposal, Catherine seemed a little hesitant.
After a while, she shook her head.
"Catherine." Oliver looked at her with a look of pity in his eyes: "Your mother died of overwork from too many part-time jobs. He needs to be a little more capable. Can this be done?"
As if he realized that this was not a good thing to say, Oliver looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, Catherine. But please think about it again. Really, if you think about it, come to us and leave next week at the latest."
"Okay, I'm going back first, Oliver."
Catherine said goodbye to Oliver and walked out of the courtyard.
She glanced back at the courtyard, turned and left.
"Hey, Catherine, come and play." On the road, a little boy holding a ball called to her.
But she looked preoccupied and continued walking as if she hadn't heard him.
When he arrived outside the house, he vaguely saw Steve with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, discussing something with his father Bobby in the house.
"Bobby, I heard McGlenn say at the bar last night that someone seemed to be offering five thousand to buy your daughter. Is it true? Or if I add some more money, sell it to me?"
"That's all nonsense. Do you believe it? It's only five thousand. For such little money, I might as well sell it to a human trafficker."
Catherine, who was standing outside the door, froze. She gently took the key out of the keyhole, squatted under the window and listened carefully.
"How do you get this thing?"
"Hey hey hey." Steve let out a mean laugh: "Why don't you just go to her room at night? Remember, remember to pay back the money next week on Sunday."
"sure."
Hearing that the two were about to go out, Catherine quickly hid in another corner.
After the two left, she returned to the room.
Picking up the photo of her mother on the desk, Catherine's eyes were a little moist.
That frozen smile is so sweet.
The bedroom door was open, and the sound of the TV in the living room came to my ears: "According to our exclusive report, a criminal gang that kidnapped and trafficked children in Texas was successfully captured..."
Catherine's gaze suddenly looked outside.
…
The scene changes.
Still Catherine's room.
The room was dark, and the faint moonlight shone from the window, reflecting on the desk.
Catherine sat up from the bed and took out an object that looked like a fruit knife from under the pillow.
Holding the fruit knife, she seemed to feel much calmer.
Put the knife under your pillow and go back to sleep.
He said he was sleeping, but he still didn't close his eyes and looked at the wooden door of the bedroom.
Crack.
There was a soft sound from the wooden door, as if someone pushed it.
Catherine put her hand under the pillow and did not move.
The sound of a key being inserted into the keyhole came, as if someone was opening the door.
Catherine's eyes couldn't help but tremble.
Click.
The door opened slightly, and Catherine's trembling increased. .
The moonlight did not cover the door, and a dark shadow could be vaguely seen entering.
Seeing the black shadow seeming to be taking out something, Catherine suddenly burst out in anger!
The light in the room was mixed, so I stabbed him randomly.
Catherine put on her shoes and ran out the door.
…
The screen turns again.
Looking around, it feels a bit similar to Catherine's boudoir, but without the fiery red furniture.
She quietly opened the door a crack and looked into the bedroom next to her.
Mr. and Mrs. Oliver stood in the corridor, whispering.
"how's it going?"
"Bobby died in the bedroom. Besides Catherine, there was another person's fingerprints at the scene. That person was a loan shark, I think his name was Steve. The police couldn't find him anywhere, and they have issued a wanted warrant."
"Oh, that's it." The woman was a little worried and rubbed her forehead: "This child Catherine is so pitiful."
"My dear, listen to me. Before Bobby died, he was holding a music box as a birthday gift. Catherine is also suspected."
"Are you crazy, Oliver!" Ms. Oliver felt a little unreasonable and lowered her voice: "She is just a little girl, how could she do this?"
"but… "
Before Mr. Oliver could finish speaking, he was interrupted: "Nothing to worry about. Remember, don't mention this matter again. Also, have you settled your identity?"
"Don't worry, from now on, she will be our daughter."
"Remember, her name is Catherine Oliver now, not Catherine Bobby, don't call her wrong!"
The scene stopped abruptly, and the scene ended.
Ronan was lying on the bed in the small hotel, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Unexpectedly, Catherine still had such a miserable childhood.
As for calling the police or something, he didn't even know where Poppy lived, so it wasn't easy to file a case.
This case involving a murder has not affected Catherine after so many years, which shows that Mr. Oliver has some tricks.
Steve, who engages in private lending in the virtual world, is probably a scapegoat.
The main difficulty with the whole secret was that Catherine was too strict with her words.
Starting from the investigation of her life experience, we may also be able to find a strategy.
Lao Guangyin was not involved in this whole process. Maybe he learned about it when he joined the old association
"Uh-huh."
Holding his waist, Ronan sat up from the bed.
He added a few free attribute points available for distribution to the spirit.
Not only because the skill of charm is linked to the level of mental power.
More importantly, he wanted to see what skills could be activated with 15 points of mental power.
In terms of strength, there are powerful skill blessings, so I can take a break for the time being.
After adding points, he clicked on personal attributes.

"Um?"
Ronan noticed that there was an exclamation point icon after the level, and clicked on it.
warn
When the protagonist reaches level 5, the novice protection mode ends

Number of reads remaining: 69
The limit on the number of times you save and load files will be lifted after entering the first scene.
Ronan stared at the red font and twitched the corner of his mouth.
This is the rhythm to force him out of Novice Village!
Seeing the remaining times, his smile was a little bitter.
Apart from being able to get past Alice's concubine and reading a lot of files, there aren't actually many files used for strategy.
The most read ones are those learning archives...
Such as chemistry, physics, mathematics, Chinese and so on.
Feeling as if he was being watched by something, Ronan stopped in time and clicked on his personal attributes.
"Opening Catherine Oliver's Treasure Chest."
The exclusive treasure chest has been opened
Obtain passive talent: Occultism lv1

If you already have occult lv1, upgrade to lv2
Ronan's eyes lit up when he heard the notification sound of mysticism upgrade.
He thought he could dig out clues only by going to the Holy Assembly, but he didn't expect to complete the upgrade after conquering Catherine.
Taking out the parchment fragment (14), Ronan looked at it carefully.
Those blurry and almost indistinguishable characters gradually became clear...
"His robe and hair are both yellow."
