Jason had always been interested in Claire, and he knew about Charlie’s existence, but he had never met him before. 5
When he finally realized that the man standing in front of his was none other than Claire’s husband, Jason looked at Charlie before pretending to ask him curiously, "I wonder what you are doing now, Charlie?’’ 3
Charlie simply replied, "I am a vagrant now.” 1
There was a flash of disdain in Jason's eyes as soon a s he heard Charlie’s words. Truth be told, he had already had a good impression of Claire when she was still working for the Wilson Group. He had deliberately looked for Claire when he heard that she had already started her own business. Therefore, he was the one who had intentionally thrown out the order for the refurbishment of the convention and exhibition center before inviting Claire over here today. 3
At this time, Jason felt as though he had to show off his status in front of Charlie. Therefore, he looked at Charlie before he smiled and said, "Charlie, I don't think you should be here today. All of the people who came to participate in the auto show today are all famous and wealthy people from Aurous Hill. Aren't you afraid that you will embarrass Claire by showing u p here today?" 5
The expression on Claire's face changed immediately a
s soon as she heard Jason's words because she did not expect Jason to ridicule Charlie. Consequently, Claire naturally felt a little uneasy at this time.
However, before Claire could say anything, Charlie's eyes turned cold before he replied indifferently, "Do you really think that this auto show is that great? I would not even be here today if it weren’t because of m year." 3
"Your car? Do you even know your own place?" Jessica asked as she stared at Charlie with a contemptuous expression on her face. "Don't you know that all the luxury cars on display here today are worth at least a few million dollars each?! I don't think you can even afford to buy one of the wheels here!" 2
Jason laughed before he said haughtily and arrogantly, "Charlie, I understand people like you. You are just a regular live-in son-in-law who is living off your wife and her parents. So, are you hoping that Claire will buy you a car so that you will be able to lift your head high?" 1
