The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 4469

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 twowheeled 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 readily agreed, and he opened the passenger door and got into the car after putting the things into the car trunk.

Marianne was already waiting for him in the driver's seat at this time. She drove the Tesla out of the mansion directly after Charlie had gotten into the car.

As she drove down the mountain road along Steerlain Island, she asked Charlie,"

Mr. Wade, I wonder where you would like to go for a stroll?"

"I'm fine with anything." Charlie smiled and said, "The guest will do as the host plans. Miss Long, you can just make the arrangements at will."

Marianne nodded, glanced at Charlie, and asked, "By the way, Mr. Wade, there's a question that I've been meaning to ask you.

I wonder if it would be convenient for you?"

Charlie smiled and said, "Miss Long, do you want to ask if I am single now?"

"No." Marianne frowned slightly and said," Mr. Wade, I just wanted to ask if you knew the meaning behind roast goose since you kept mentioning it repeatedly at the dining table earlier?"

Charlie felt that Marianne seemed to have discovered something, so he shook his head and said, "I was just casually mentioning it. I don't know the meaning behind it. I wonder if Miss Long can explain it to me?"

Marianne said lightly, "My father used to have a subordinate named Janus

Campbell. Later, Janus eloped to the United States with my current stepmother, and he opened a roast goose restaurant in Oskiatown. My father has always been very sensitive about their elopement, so roast goose is also a taboo for him." Charlie said evasively, "Miss Long, with all due respect, your stepmother does not look like someone who can endure hardship."

"Indeed." Marianne said, "She usually cannot even be bothered to wash her own lingerie, and she needs several maids to be around her to serve her every day."

Having said that, Marianne could not

help but sigh as she said, "However, she could still follow Janus to open a roast goose restaurant in the

d.ne ove

United States for a few years even with this kind of pampered

personality. That is really something that I did not expect."

Charlie said casually, "Then it seems to me that her true love is Janus."

Marianne shook her head and said, "I don't know about that."

As she said that, she looked at Charlie again and asked, "Mr. Wade, you really did not know about these things?"

Charlie shrugged and said, "I know that Mrs. Long eloped with someone before. The whole of Hong Kong knows of this matter, and many big entrepreneurs would gossip about this matter after a meal. However, I haven't heard of what she did abroad after she eloped." Charlie could tell that Marianne was not an ordinary woman, so he did not want Marianne to detect his true intentions.

After all, even Shawn had only recently found out that Janus had opened a roast goose restaurant in the United States, and this incident had not been reported to the people in Hong Kong. If he admitted to knowing this matter as an outsider, it would mean that he was admitting that he was somehow related to Janus.

Marianne was a little skeptical. She felt that Charlie seemed to be mentioning roast goose intentionally at the dining table, but after hearing Charlie's explanation, she felt that there were no loopholes in his logic at all. After all, Charlie's identity was that of a senior-level assistant in Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group, and he was also from

Oskia. So, it was also unlikely for him to know about what had been going on in Oskiatown in the United States.

So, she put this matter behind her

and said to Charlie, "Mr. Wade, if you

don't have a specific place that you'd like to visit, we will head over to Tsim Sha Tsui first. My classmates and have organized a charity sale there, and I'd like to deliver the things in my car to them first."

Charlie nodded and said, "No problem."
