In truth, Charlie had already long known that Jaime had been pursuing Quinn.
However, he did not want to interfere with Jaime because of the principle of 'freedom to love'. He did not even have this thought even though Isaac had suggested for him to intervene before this.
Charlie felt that everyone had the right to like others and be liked by others in return.
As long as a person liked another person in a fair and square manner, no one had the right to interfere.
However, Jaime's mistake was that he did not figure this out clearly himself.
Before he had even pursued Quinn properly, he had already regarded Quinn as his personal belonging.
When Jaime found out that Charlie had driven Quinn t o the venue, his first thought was to do everything that he possibly could in order to investigate and find out Charlie's identity. He had targeted Charlie, even investigating Charlie's wife’s car license plate, which was a complete violation of the basic principle of' freedom to love’. 5
Therefore, Jaime's decision was also the key to Charlie's determination to punish him.
It was also because of this that Charlie had given him a psychological hint. 4
A psychological hint was a very powerful brainwashing function, and Charlie used Reiki as a medium so that this psychological hint was even more solid. 4
Charlie also knew very well that if he merely reached a verbal agreement with Jaime, Jaime would certainly go back on his words immediately after he left this place. Perhaps, he might even think of escaping.
Even if Jaime had been truly forced to grovel all the way to Jordan Temple, it was very likely that Jaime would try everything possible and even resort to tricks to get out of it.
Moreover, Charlie could not constantly be keeping an eye on him. Therefore, the only solution was for Charlie to give Jaime a strong psychological hint so that Jaime would adhere to Charlie's strict requirements.
After this psychological hint had been given, Jaime would be like Kian, who would have to have an extra meal every other hour. No one would be able to stop him, and no one would be able to make him give up on his own requirements.
In that case, he would be strict with himself to take three steps and one grovel all the way. If Jaime were t o even take one step less or make one less grovel, he would never be able to forgive himself. 1
