After they left the airport, Charlie drove Claire's BMW and sent Loreen back to the Shangri-La first.
On the way back, Claire wanted to invite Loreen to stay in their villa again. However, Loreen refused to do so. 9
Although Loreen would be able to get closer to Charlie i f she stayed in the villa at Thompson First, she was afraid of Elaine and Jacob. Both of them were really scary and could change a person's view when they started fighting with one another. It was really awkward to sight such a scene from the standpoint of a bystander. 6
Besides that, Loreen always felt as though there was still a ticking time bomb in the Wilson family.
That time bomb was none other than Jacob’s first love, Matilda. 4
Elaine did not know anything about Matilda, and yet she could already have such intense fights and arguments with Jacob. If she found out about her, then there would certainly be even more drama at their house.
Therefore, she felt that she should not stay in the villa at Thompson First so that she would not have to feel s o awkward. It would be nice for her to stay at Shangri-La.
Although it was a little lonely to stay at the hotel by herself, she would still have absolute freedom without any movement restraint. Even if her room was in a mess, she could just leave the hotel room in the morning and return to a clean and spotless room later at night. 6
So, she was not willing to go back to the villa at Thompson First anymore.
After sending Loreen home, Charlie and Claire headed home together. Claire asked with concern, "Charlie, have you already checked out and dealt with the Feng Shui matters in Miss Golding's house?" 2
"Yes." Charlie smiled as he said, "Their whole family was very satisfied and gave a five-star rating."
Feeling relieved, Claire said, "It is great that they are satisfied with your services. That way, we can also feel a little more relieved to take their money then."
After that, she asked Charlie again, "You bought so many things from Hermes. You must have spent a lot 0 f money there, right?"
