When Shawn heard Charlie’s words, he really felt like slapping himself on the spot, and he could not help but curse to himself, ‘Wow! I’m really asking for it! Why did I have to ask him for the name of the restaurant?!’Jenna had an even more embarrassed expression, and she was also panicking a little at this time.It was already bad enough that Charlie was mentioning roast goose, but he just had to mention Campbell Roast directly! Wasn’t this a direct slap in the face for both Shawn and herself?!When Marianne, who was sitting opposite Charlie, saw the stunned expressions on Shawn and Jenna’s faces, she suddenly could not hold back her laughter, and she laughed out loud.Shawn turned around to glare at Marianne immediately and asked angrily, “What’s so funny?!”Marianne shrugged and said, “It wasn’t funny at first, but both of your reactions are simply too hilarious. Mr. Wade simply wanted to eat roast goose, so why are you both reacting so strongly to it?”Shawn said angrily, “
Charlie’s sudden laughter caused both Shawn and Jenna to look shocked and angry at the same time.Only then did they understand that the reason why Charlie kept mentioning roast goose was not because he missed the taste of roast goose as he had said, but it was because he was deliberately teasing them the whole time!However, Marianne was not surprised at all. Instead, she was amused by Charlie’s sudden change, and the both of them laughed heartily as they faced each other. The expression on Shawn’s face also became uglier with their laughter. A moment later, he slammed the table violently, looked at Charlie, and shouted angrily, “Mr. Wade! I’ve been treating you with courtesy, and I’ve regarded you as our distinguished guest from the moment we met, but why are you deliberately humiliating me?!”Charlie was not nervous at all, and he laughed lightly as he said, “Humiliate you? What do you mean by that, Mr. Long? You cannot possibly stop me from laughing even though this is your
Therefore, he did not dare to continue arguing with Charlie on this issue.After all, he still intended to catch Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group, which was a big fish to him. So, it would be best for him not to turn against Charlie. He would have to pretend that he did not know about this matter as long as Charlie did not make it clear that he was laughing at him for being cuckolded.So, he quickly changed his expression and laughed as he said, “So, that’s the case, Mr. Wade. It seems as though I’ve misunderstood you. I’ll drink a cup of wine as punishment, then!”Having said that, he picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in the glass in one go.Charlie nodded with a smile on his face as he said, “I really did not expect that a mere roast goose would make Mr. Long so unhappy. If that’s the case, we don’t need to eat roast goose tonight.” Shawn did not expect that Charlie would still be mentioning roast goose at this time. So, he could only force a smile and say, “Okay, then
Shawn was finally relieved and relaxed when he saw that Charlie seemed to have a crush on his daughter.The fish had already opened its mouth, and the rest would depend on when he bit the hook.After having a satisfying meal, Shawn said, “Mr. Wade, I still have something to do at the company in the afternoon, so I will not be accompanying you. Let Marianne accompany you to have a good time going around Hong Kong.”Charlie nodded and said casually, “Mr. Long, feel free to go ahead and get busy if you have something to do. It’s good enough for me to have Miss Long accompany me.” Shawn nodded in satisfaction and instructed his daughter, “Marianne, be sure to be a good host and entertain Mr. Wade on my behalf.” Marianne was also unambiguous as she asked directly, “When will you arrange for the donation of the fifty million Hong Kong dollars that you promised me?” Shawn casually replied, “I will ask the finance department to transfer the money to your foundation’s bank account with
Charlie casually took over the box, carried it, and left the villa with Marianne.After arriving in the yard, Marianne walked directly toward a normal version of the Tesla Model 3.This was Tesla’s cheapest entry-level sedan which looked completely out of place in a yard filled with Rolls-Royces and Maybachs. Charlie did not expect that Marianne would actually drive an electric car that was just more than two hundred thousand Oskian dollars. So, he could not help but feel a little surprised. Marianne could also see the look of surprise in Charlie’s eyes. So, she spoke up and said, “Mr. Wade, my car is a little simple. I hope that you do not mind it.”“No.” Charlie waved his hand and smiled as he said, “I’m not particular about cars. Not to mention four-wheeled electric cars, but I would also be fine even if it was a two-wheeled electric vehicle.”Marianne nodded and said a little coldly, “That’s good. Please help me put the things in the car trunk, Mr. Wade.”“Okay.” Charlie r
Tsim Sha Shui was one of the busiest and most prosperous commercial centers as well as a shopping paradise in Hong Kong.According to Marianne, she and her classmates had been doing a charity sale to raise funds in the central area of Tsim Sha Shui commercial center over the past few days. According to everyone’s original division of labor, she was supposed to come back tomorrow. It just so happened that Shawn had called her to go home from school at noon, and since she had agreed to bring Charlie around in the afternoon, she simply brought the things that she had prepared for the charity sale to send over on her way.Moreover, Marianne really did not know where to bring Charlie. She had spent most of her time at home and school, and she had no other recreational activities other than doing some charity. So, she was also at a loss now that she was supposed to act as Charlie’s tour guide. Therefore, she decided to get busy with her own affairs first, and she brought Charlie along wi
When he had suddenly bumped into Marianne just now, he had thought that God was really helping him and that this was just a good way for him to put on an act without showing any signs.However, he never would have thought that Marianne would not appreciate it.She even managed to push him into a dead end with just a few words. Now, it was difficult for him to go back on his words. If he did not want to embarrass himself, he could only honestly cash in the donation of ten million Hong Kong dollars. Furthermore, he could only make an anonymous donation, according to Marianne. When Marianne saw his embarrassed expression, she then said indifferently, “It does not matter if you regret it and want to go back on your word, Dillion. You can just pretend that I did not say anything.”As soon as Dillion heard this, he blurted out without hesitation, “No! Absolutely not! How could I, Dillion Brown, go back on my words?! Isn’t it just ten million Hong Kong dollars? I will transfer the mone
Marianne’s first reaction when Charlie grabbed her hand was as if she had been electrocuted. She wanted to break free, but Charlie’s grip was strong, and Marianne simply could not pull her hand away at all.Moreover, she did not dare to blatantly pull her hand away. This was because she was afraid that Dillion would see through their act immediately. If that happened, she would only end up worse off than when she had been trying to gain an advantage. So, she could only suppress her anger and say to Charlie, “You’d better do as you say!”After saying that, she said to Charlie, “Let’s go!” Dillion’s face was pale as he blurted out and asked, “Marianne! Who is this guy?!”Marianne felt very irritated because Charlie was still holding on to her hand, so she said angrily, “Didn’t you hear what I said just now? He’s my fiancé!”“How can that be possible?!” Dillion spoke angrily as if someone had offended him greatly, “My father just had dinner with Uncle Long last week, and Uncle L
