The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Charlie's sudden laughter caused both Shawn and Jenna to look shocked and angry at the same time.noveldrama

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 house, right?"

Shawn's face was flushed red as he said, "I invited you to my house to discuss a collaboration with you, not for you to take advantage of this opportunity to make fun of me! You're being too rude!"

Charlie said innocently, "What do you mean by that, Mr. Long? The reason why I was laughing just now was because Miss Long kept trying to make me laugh. We are both young people, and I wanted to laugh along with her when she laughed. What's wrong with that?" Shawn said angrily, "But you obviously know what roast goose really means! Isn't what you said just now an admission that you were doing it on purpose?"

Charlie had a bewildered expression as he said, "Roast goose is roast goose. What else can it mean aside from being edible? The reason why I said that just now is because I thought Miss Long was teasing me intentionally to see if I could hold back my laughter. So, I wanted to play along with her as this could also enhance our mutual understanding."

Having said that, Charlie looked at Marianne very seriously and said, "It's my honor to make a beautiful girl like Miss Long laugh. I might be overestimating myself, but isn't there an ancient saying that a man should seek a woman's affection when courting a woman? Of course, I wanted to express myself a little when I saw Miss Long. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Marianne's expression instantly became a little unnatural as soon as Charlie said these words.

She did not expect that Charlie would suddenly talk about her, and in addition to being a little flirtatious, Charlie seemed to be serious when he said these words. Shawn was also a little confused at this time.

He really could not figure out whether Charlie was making fun of him or whether he was trying to please his daughter.

If it was the former, he certainly would not tolerate it with his temper, and he would have to settle the score with Charlie.

Otherwise how could he be worthy

of his current status and position? What's more, his wife was sitting opposite him, so wouldn't he be embarrassed if he were to let Charlie ridicule him in front of her?

However, if it was the latter, then this whole thing would be going exactly as he had expected.

This was because his original intention had been to use his cold and arrogant daughter to capture Charlie's attention.

That way, he would be able to strike when the iron was hot and finalize his collaboration with Charlie.

After the collaboration was finalized, with his daughter's character, she would definitely not give Charlie any opportunity to take advantage of her, That way, he would be the winner who had the last laugh.

Onlookers would say that the use of this tactic was gaining something without any payout.

However, in Shawn's opinion, he was clearly a lure master as he tried to use tricks to stimulate and lure Charlie in using bait.

When ordinary people went fishing,

they would also prepare a variety of

baits and nesting materials in addition to fishing gear, as they would try every means possible get thefish in the water to open their mouths. Many rookies would use ten catties of nesting materials in order to catch half a catty of fish.

However, lure masters were different. Lure masters only needed to use artificial bait. The fish would get caught after eating the artificial bait, and the bait could be used continuously after the fish was removed. As long as the technology was good, it could be reused indefinitely without any additional costs.
