The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

When Marianne heard this, her expression immediately became a little abnormal as she stammered and said, "Why should I find out more information about him?"

Shawn looked at Marianne and smiled as he said," Marianne, you have to remember something. If you want a relationship between a man and a woman to develop well, you should not have the mentality of being vindictive and angry. If he cares for you, you have to respond better to him, and if he ignores you, you'll have to bite the bullet and take the initiative to look for him. You cannot be angry and ignore him just because you're feeling a little emotional!" Having said that, Shawn then said again, "If he does not look for you and if you don't look for him, or if you put on such a gesture if he comes looking for you, even if you are fated or were given the opportunity, it would all be in vain, then!"

Marianne instantly felt as if Shawn's words were like knives stabbing her heart, but she was a strong woman, and she continued quibbling, "Dad, I don't have any thoughts about Charlie in this regard. It's impossible for me to be in a relationship with him. What's more, how could I possibly have a relationship with a man who made my father kneel before him?!"

Shawn had a sullen expression as he said, "Oh! What's the big deal about me kneeling before him if you can really end up together with him? I'll even grovel before him!"

After that, Shawn continued, "Besides, we have to discuss the matter and seek truth from the facts. I had to kneel in front of Charlie because I had offended him, so I had to ask for his forgiveness. There's nothing else I could have done about this. To put it bluntly, this was my own fault. However, do you think that Charlie would have randomly asked me to kneel in front of him if you were to be in a relationship with him?"

Marianne frowned and said, "The reason why you're saying this is because you like Charlie for his strength."

"That's right." Shawn said calmly, "Marianne, you're my eldest child, and you are the one who made me experience the feeling of being a father for the first time. This is something that your younger siblings have no way to compare to. I'll never do anything to harm you in exchange for my interest based on this factor alone. So, no matter how strong Charlie is, I will not push you forward if you do not have feelings for him. However, the problem is that you clearly have feelings for Charlie. In that case, why don't you work hard to make it work both ways?"

Marianne panicked and said, "1-1 really don't... I've only known Charlie for a few days."

Jenna, who was aside, could not help but say,"

Marianne, you cannot even hide your thoughts from me, let alone your father."

Marianne was slightly startled, and she understood what Jenna meant in her heart.

Her father had long been experienced in this area, and this thought of hers would have long been transparent before him.

At this time, when Jenna saw that Marianne's expression was a little more relaxed, she quickly added, "Marianne, if you truly have feelings for Charlie, don't delay anything just because of today's events. Charlie will probably not be staying long. You have to go and seize the opportunity so that you will not have any regrets!"noveldrama

Marianne could not help but bite her lower lip gently, and she felt incomparably torn inside.

She was really mad at Charlie, but Charlie had also been lingering in her mind all day.

So, she subconsciously took out Kathleen's business card, looked at it for a long time, and then said to the two of them, "I'll go back to my room first."

Shawn was also relieved when he saw that Marianne seemed to have been persuaded by him, and he then said to Jenna, "I will call Lord Halbert and ask him how much he's willing to sell the villa for."

***

Meanwhile, Charlie did not accompany Janus's family to Sandy Ridge.

He felt that Janus, who had been abroad for twenty years and had finally returned home, should have a good gathering with his family.

If he, as an outsider, were to join

them, it

would not only affect theiet

family's reunion, but they would also have to walk on thin ice because of his so-called kindness.

Therefore, he asked Porter to arrange two cars, and he came forward to send Janus's family to Sandy Ridge Cemetery.

As for Charlie himself, he prepared to find Kathleen as he had already promised to take her out for dinner to thank her. So, he naturally could not break his promise. So, he called Kathleen.

At this time, Kathleen had already

checked into Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Hong Kong. When she received Charlie's call, she said, "Mr. Wade, Thave already checked into two presidential suites at Mandarin Oriental Hotel. When will you be coming over?"

Charlie said, "There's no rush. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

"Okay." Kathleen smiled and said, "Mr. Wade, what are you going to treat me?"

Charlie thought for a while and said, "The restaurant at Mandarin Oriental Hotel is said to be very upscale. Why don't we eat there?"

Kathleen smiled and said, "Mr. Wade, I heard that there are many famous snacks in Hong Kong. Why don't we go and eat something down-to-earth instead?"
