Everyone on the scene was shocked when Charlie unlocked the Aston Martin ONE-77 with the smart bracelet key. 1
They could only exclaim in their hearts: The Aston Martin ONE-77 actually belonged to Charlie!
Jason was also dumbfounded at this time. What was happening?! 1
Wasn't Charlie just a broke son-in-law?
How could he possibly afford to buy such an expensive car?!
Jessica was also stunned. "This... this is unbelievable. How could this man possibly afford to buy an Aston Martin ONE-77 when he was such a poor and useless man?”
Then, Charlie led Claire to the passenger seat before smiling and saying, “My dear wife, why don't you get into the car? I will take you for a spin!”
Claire looked at Charlie with a confused expression on her face as she asked, "Charlie, is this car really yours?"
Charlie nodded. "Of course. The key is already in my hand. Why would I lie to you?" 4
After saying that, Charlie quickly whispered into her ear, "Wife, to be honest, Graham lent this car to me so
that I can experience driving this car for a short while. I deliberately pretended that this car belonged to me because Jason was provoking me earlier! Please do not expose me in front of him!" 4
Truth be told, Charlie was not very interested in these two cars because he felt that they were too showy. Moreover, if Douglas had not told him that his wife was here today, he would not even have bothered to come here to collect these cars. 5
Besides, Charlie understood his wife's personality.
She would never want to drive such a showy car out o n a daily basis. 4
That was the reason why he made up that lie. After taking his wife on a drive in this car so that she could experience it for herself, he would hand the two cars over to Luke for safekeeping. 2
When Claire found out the truth, she was instantly relieved. 4
She was really afraid that Charlie would continue giving Feng Shui advice to rich people because she was afraid that he would eventually get into trouble, 7
Since someone else was just lending him the car so that he could experience it, she did not need to worry too much.
