When Kathleen heard this, she instantly understood that Marianne was not crying because her cell phone had fallen. So, she said to Charlie, “Oh, Mr. Wade, you still don’t understand women. We are not as tough as boys, so you cannot simply come up with solutions. You have to help us solve the problem directly. I saw someone setting up a stall at the entrance of the mall opposite which is selling some cell phone accessories. Why don’t you hurry up and buy a cell phone case for Miss Marianne according to the model of her cell phone, then?”As soon as Charlie heard this, he then said without any hesitation, “Okay, you can accompany Miss Marianne first. I’ll go and buy it.”Upon saying that, Charlie got up and ran out.Once Charlie was far away, Kathleen held Marianne’s hand and smiled as she asked, “Did you just find out about Mr. Wade’s marriage? It’s okay. I already knew.”Marianne trembled and then looked up at Kathleen as she nodded lightly and said aggrievedly, “He never told me
Kathleen’s words really shocked Marianne deeply.She never expected that Kathleen, who was the head of the Fox family, could fall in love with a married man so calmly and emotionally.Moreover, it was not difficult to even hear a hint of humble feeling in her words at all.She suddenly admired Kathleen’s calmness. She felt that she was truly a thousand miles behind compared to Kathleen.However, she was still puzzled, so she asked Kathleen, “Miss Fox, since Charlie is already married, aren’t you worried that there will be no results in the future if you still continue loving him so much?”Kathleen smiled and said indifferently, “Emotions cannot be stopped. It’s just like some things where you can control yourself not to eat, but you cannot control the feeling of you wanting to eat.”After saying that, Kathleen stared at Marianne and joked, “By the way, you also know that he is married, so can you manage not to have any good feelings for him from now on, then? Please teach me how
“That’s fair. That’s fair indeed.” Marianne could not help but repeat herself.Then, she suddenly seemed to figure something out as she said, “Miss Fox, you’re right. It’s not wrong to fall in love with someone else, but it is most important to be open and honest...”Kathleen nodded and smiled as she asked, “So, how are you feeling now? Do you still feel that you’re wrong now?”Marianne pursed his lips and said softly, “I still feel that I’m wrong, but I feel much better now...”Kathleen sighed softly and smiled as she said, “Oh, if you feel that you’re wrong and cannot control how much you like Charlie, you will just have to adjust your mentality because you have too many competitors, and each of them are all incredibly powerful. I can’t even rank here as a member of the Fox family.”With that being said, Kathleen asked her, “Do you know why Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group seems to be a joint venture between the Ito family from Japan and the Schulz family from Oskia but Charlie i
Kathleen’s joke frightened Marianne, and she became flustered as she quickly waved her hand and said, “I-I dare not... My sister is still studying...”Kathleen smiled and said, “Can’t she fall in love if she’s still studying? Aren’t you also a doctoral student? You have not graduated, right?”Marianne hurriedly said, “That’s... That’s not what I meant...”When Kathleen saw Marianne’s flustered appearance, she smiled and said, “We’ll put the matter related to your younger sister aside first, but let me ask you something else. Do you know Quinn Golding?”“The celebrity, Quinn Golding?!” Marianne subconsciously blurted out, “She’s my idol!”Having said that, she suddenly thought of something and asked in horror, “Does Quinn also like Charlie?!”Kathleen raised her brows and smiled as she said, “Quinn is different compared to us. She has a marriage contract with Charlie. Their family had already betrothed them when they were still young. Quinn searched hard for Charlie for so many ye
“No.” Kathleen said, “We haven’t known each other for long. Just a month or two.”Marianne was shocked and asked her, “You’ve only known Charlie for a month or two, so why do you know him so well, then?!”Kathleen smiled in a self-deprecating manner and said, “Well, who asked me to be a smart aleck? I had to find out everything about him, and the deeper I looked into him, the deeper I got caught in it.”Having said that, Kathleen smiled and said, “Sometimes, being too smart is not a good thing. I was also sad for a whole day like you are now when I found out that he likes Nanako.”Marianne was even more puzzled, and she asked, “Miss Fox, how did you know that?”Kathleen laughed and said, “Based on reasoning.”Having said that, Kathleen said, “First of all, as far as I know, Nanako was seriously injured after she competed in Aurous Hill. The media once said that her life was in danger, and even if she pulled through and survived, she might have to be bedridden for the rest of her
Marianne did not expect that the birthday gift that Charlie had casually given her would be so expensive. It was so expensive that even Lord Fox could only get half of the pill from Charlie!As she thought of this, she suddenly had mixed feelings in her heart.At this moment, she felt a girl-like joy in her heart as well as the trepidation of receiving something so valuable without merit. However, she did not expect that Kathleen’s next sentence would leave her even more speechless.Kathleen struggled and hesitated for a long time before she looked at Marianne and asked in an extremely serious manner, “Miss Long, do you intend to sell this Healing Pill? I am willing to pay you ten billion US dollars if you plan to sell it!” There were not many people who knew of the actual value of the Rejuvenating Pill as well as the Healing Pill better than Kathleen herself. Needless to say, the Rejuvenating Pill was a divine medicine that could be sold for three hundred billion US dollars
Having said that, she reached out her hand and pointed at the small wooden box in Marianne’s hand as she instructed, “Miss Long, it’d be better for you to put this pill away. This pill is worth a lot of money, so you should try not to let others know about it.”“Okay...” Marianne nodded and then kept the small wooden box away safely. She then immediately remembered something and hurriedly asked Kathleen, “By the way, Miss Fox, why do you know so many things about Charlie? It seems like you know him very well.” Kathleen smiled in a self-deprecating manner and said, “I secretly investigated him when I was in Aurous Hill before this, and coupled with some of my own reasoning skills, I was then able to sort out a lot of things.”Marianne could not help but exclaim, “Miss Fox, you’re really smart! I wouldn’t have thought of this if it was me...”“Smart...” Kathleen smiled and shook her head. “It’s useless to be too smart.”Having said that, Kathleen’s expression suddenly froze as if s
After Charlie had bought the cell phone case, the episode related to the cell phone seemed to be over. However, Charlie still could not understand why Marianne would burst into tears because of her cell phone.At this time, the vendors at the food street showed extremely hospitable qualities and filled their table with a variety of delicious food.So, the three of them tacitly put the incident behind them as they chatted while they ate.Halfway through the meal, Marianne looked up at Charlie and asked him, “Mr. Wade, when will you be going back?”Charlie casually said, “Tomorrow night. I wonder if your father has solved the problem in regard to the villa next door? If it’s solved, I can also go back after Uncle Janus’s family moves in tomorrow.”Marianne felt a little disappointed, and she could not help but ask, “Mr. Wade, aren’t you planning to stay a few more days in Hong Kong?”“No.” Charlie smiled slightly and said, “My wife is waiting for me in the United States, so I canno
