After all, although this heir to the Turmann family was handsome, he was exceedingly indifferent to the
ladies.
He could never remember their names, and only because she was closest to Aunt Merry that she could
barely consider herself acquainted with him.
When Vera thought of this, she could not maintain her smile any longer.
She looked at the two people walking away, and Carlisle turned sideways to speak to that woman, and
the smile on his face was extremely gentle! ‘Carlisle have never treated a woman like this before!'
Vera stared fiercely at Nicole's back, and many girls too noticed the mood was off as they looked at
Vera with some fear.She was the most talented among them, and the one Merry doted on the most.She
may look very sweet and naive, but she was very difficult to get along with.
It was only with Carlisle that she was gentle and considerate.
How could Vera just watch as Carlisle walked away like that? As she looked at his back, her fingers
had already balled into a fist, yet her voice was still sweet as ever.
"Carlisle, wait a moment.I have something to speak with you!"
She lifted her long skirt and trotted over.
Looking at the somewhat puzzled Carlisle and the beautiful Nicole behind him, a look of jealously
flashed across her eyes.
‘How can a woman have such a vixen-like appearance? She must have seduced Carlisle by some
unscrupulous means!' She did not say anything but instead gave Nicole a hostile look as if trying to
silently voice her displeasure.
Nicole looked at her unfriendly face and gently raised her eyebrow as she said.
"Carl, go ahead and talk.I'll head down first."
Carl tried to stop Nicole as he looked irritably at Vera, who had stopped him but yet did not speak.His
voice was somewhat icy.
"Well, out with it then."
Vera gave Carlisle an incredulous look. She did not expect Carlisle, who had always attached much
importance to family affairs, to have such an attitude.
Even though she would always resort to this excuse, no matter how busy he was, he would talk to her
patiently.
'He would have never been like this, being so indifferent just after a few words!'
‘It must be that woman! She purposefully said that to Carlisle to make him impatient with her!'
‘Also, what right does she have to call Carlisle, Carl? That's something only a very close person could
call him, and even I dare not call him that!"
Thinking of this, Vera's eyes reddened a little, but looking at Carlisle's face, she dared not say much
else but instead quickly asked.
"Carlisle, will you be attending the Mobile Armor Tournament this time?"
The Mobile Armor Tournament was a yearly competition held by the Turmann family to select a prodigy
of mechanical engineering.
As Carlisle was twenty this year, and as a male of the Turmann family, he could very well be the next
master of the house.
So, by right, he should be attending this tournament not only to showcase his talents but to also win
fame and glory for the family.
After all, the Turmann family had been severely hobbled in secret, and many other families were eyeing
them as if waiting for the great tree to fall.
Carlisle obviously knew this.He looked at the anticipant Vera and nodded as he said.
"I will be participating as well."
Vera's eyes visibly lit up as she looked at Carlisle and said excitedly.
"Really? I'm eighteen this year, so I can finally join the Mobile Armor Tournament as well.It seems like I
can team up with you this time, Carlisle!"
