Chapter 375 - Lauriels Suspicion (1/2)
Nicolae was very impressed by his father's amazing abilities with medicine and poisons. These are skills far more valuable than money. Nicolae could imagine how many pharmaceutical companies would be willing to pay dearly to get his father's knowledge.
”You have to teach me ... or at least, let me make an encyclopedia based on your knowledge ... That kind of knowledge should be passed on ...” Nicolae said admiringly.
That's when Aleksis took her hands off of her eyes and exclaimed happily, ”Of course! Uncle Rory has taught me and my younger brothers about medicinal plants for the past dozen years. But unfortunately, I'm not talented with medicine.”
Nicolae subconsciously covered his upper body from Aleksis' sight. He shrieked. ”You peeked!”
Grumpily Aleksis rolled her eyes and moved out of the room. She waved as she went to the door, ”Then I'll play with Little Prince Siegfried.”
Terry and Lauriel looked at each other with a knowing look. They knew the history of Aleksis and Prince Siegfried and why she named her dog Little Prince Siegfried.
They also knew how Aleksis had been obsessed with the man for the past eight years and even asked to study for a year in Singapore so she could look for him.
Lauriel seemed to think for a moment, then then asked Terry. ”Is there any news?”
Terry understood the meaning of Lauriel's question. Lauriel wanted to know if Aleksis had met the person she was looking for. Although Terry knew the answer, he had promised Aleksis that he would not tell Lauriel.
He would let Aleksis tell her godfather herself, because after all. Aleksis was an adult woman and Terry would not interfere in her life if he was not asked to.
Finally he just shrugged. Lauriel sighed to see it.
”I was the one who encouraged her to continue studying here for a year so that she knows what it is like to live like an ordinary human, before she is introduced to the outside world ...” Lauriel shook his head slowly, ”But for some reason now I'm starting to worry.”
”Introduce her to the outside world? What do you mean, Father?” Nicolae asked curiously.
”The three children of Caspar Schneider and also Terry have not been introduced to the members of the Alchemists. We hold a meeting every 10 years and usually new members will be brought in and introduced.
However, Caspar is very protective over his children, especially since the past events where Aleksis was kidnapped and poisoned by some bad people. He did not want to introduce his children to the world yet, so Aleksis and her younger siblings never attended clan meetings.
They live peacefully away from the crowd, but of course, in a few years, when the three are grown up and are able to protect themselves, Caspar will introduce them. They will take over the Schneider Group from Kurt Van Der Ven. That is why she must start getting used to meeting people and understanding how ordinary people lived.”
”Wow ...” Nicolae's admiration for Aleksis became even greater. The girl was apparently being prepared to take over the Schneider Group from her father's confidants. He knew how massive the family business was, and so Nicolae was very impressed. It was really not easy to lead such a large and influential group.
