Charlie's heart raced with worry about his grandparents and wife. The looming threat of the Warriors Den had put him on high alert, but Maria's warning had intensified his concern. It seemed a formidable battle awaited him. But Charlie was no stranger to fierce struggles.
Ever since he miraculously survived at the tender age of eight, he understood that every day of his existence was hard earned. What truly frightened him was the thought of both his grandparents and his wife being in danger simultaneously, leaving him torn and unable to protect them all.
As he pondered this dilemma, his mind fixed on finding a way to remove Claire from Aurous Hill as a precautionary measure. If Claire wasn't in Aurous Hill, he could focus solely on safeguarding his grandparents without distraction. But he couldn't fathom a foolproof plan to convince Claire to leave without raising suspicions.
Originally, he had concocted a scheme involving Elaine winning a grand prize by sheer accident. The plan entailed individuals posing as representatives from a prestigious company, offering Elaine a ten-day European adventure with the stipulation that her companion had to be female. That way, if Elaine wanted to go, she could only choose Claire to accompany her.
However, upon reflection, Charlie realized that Claire had been consumed with her recent studies in the United States and had developed ambitious career aspirations. Asking her to embark on a ten-day trip might not yield the desired outcome.
