The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Anyway, his battle with Shawn would begin the moment Janus came out of the airport customs in the afternoon. So, there was nothing wrong with having Shawn's wife around to witness it. However, Charlie did not want Marianne to tag along.

After all, after getting along with Charlie over the past two days, he had gotten to know Marianne better. He did not want her to have to personally witness his conflict with her own father.

What's more, Charlie had been concealing something when he came to Hong Kong and approached Shawn this time. So, he too did not want to tear off his disguise in front of Marianne. According to his plan, he would no longer have any further contact with Shawn and the Long family after dealing with all the problems properly at the airport. His intersection with Marianne would also come to an end after this meal. Marianne did not know what Charlie was thinking. She had originally hoped that she would be able to go together with them, and it did not matter who they were picking up. The most important thing was that she would be with Charlie. However, when she heard that Charlie did not want her to tag along, she could only nod and say, "I have to go back to Tsim Sha Tsui after lunch, so I will not be able to go along with you guys."

"That's fine." Shawn did not feel that anything was amiss, so he simply smiled and said, "If Mr. Wade's friend is also willing to stay at our house, we can prepare a family dinner at home in the evening. You can join us then." Marianne hurriedly asked Charlie, "Mr.noveldrama

Wade, do you still want to go to the food street at night?"

Charlie did not give her a clear answer. Instead, he said, "Let's see how the situation goes in the afternoon."

"Okay." Marianne also knew that since a guest was coming and might even be staying in her house, her plan to go to the food street with Charlie alone might have to be postponed. So, she said, "I will wait for your news in the afternoon, then." "Okay."

1:00 pm.

After eating, Charlie and Shawn's family of three walked out of the restaurant together.

Shawn said to Jenna, "Honey, you should ride in a car by yourself. I'll take a car with Mr. Wade."

Jenna agreed without hesitation, "Okay, I'll ride in the car in front."

At this time, Charlie said to Marianne," Miss Marianne, pay attention to your safety on the road."

Marianne nodded and then smiled faintly at Charlie as she said, "Mr. Wade, remember to give me a reply in the afternoon."

"No problem."

Charlie suddenly felt a little upset and reluctant in his heart after seeing Marianne get into her Tesla.

Regardless of whether he was

leaving Hong Kong after settling bis business here today, Marianne

would learn of the true purpose of his visit to Hong Kong after this matter was over.

When the time comes, Marianne would definitely be very

disappointed in him, and she would definitely think that he had simply been putting on an act or was intentionally deceiving her over the past two days.

Charlie sincerely did not want her to get hurt because of his actions.

However, he also knew very well that it would be an impossible task for him to solve Janus's troubles completely this time without hurting Marianne.

No matter what the relationship

between Marianne and her father

was, he had deceived her first, and

this alone would definitely

disappoint her and hurt her feelings.

At this moment, Charlie somewhat regretted his decision to accept Shawn's invitation to stay at his house.

If he had not stayed at the Long Mansion, he would not have had any interactions with Marianne.

Now that things had already come to this stage, it was impossible for him to choose again even if he regretted it...
