Although Charlie was speaking vaguely, he was actually pointing these two people out.
Even though Charlie did not say anything about Jenna's specific deeds, the couple coincidentally thought of Jenna’s elopement with Janus.
For so many years, this incident had been Jenna's weakness in front of Shawn, and this was also the source of Shawn's deepest pain.
Charlie was implicitly pointing to this fact, which in turn made these two people feel extremely uncomfortable.
The reason why Charlie had said this was also completely intentional.
He simply wanted to see how much patience Shawn would have in front of him.
He was merely provoking Shawn a little bit for now. If Shawn could endure it, there would be bigger provocations waiting for him later.
It would be great if Shawn could lose his temper in front of him now.
After all, Charlie had flown all the way here from the United States this time to specifically teach him how to behave.
Moreover, what Charlie was best at was using something as a pretext to make a fuss. Even if Shawn accidentally stepped on Charlie's foot, Charlie would use this reason to exploit him.
However, how could Shawn have known that Charlie was not a God of Wealth who was here for collaboration but instead, he was an unlucky star who was here to deal with him?!
At this time, Shawn suppressed his anger at being exposed by Charlie, and he simply smiled as he said to Charlie, "Mr. Wade, you've come a long way, and the journey must have been very tiring. I've prepared a welcome banquet for you at my house. We can go there directly now if you do not mind."
Charlie nodded and said lightly, "I'll accept your invitation politely, then."
Shawn laughed and made an inviting gesture. After that, he wrapped his arm around Charlie's back and said enthusiastically, "Come, Mr. Wade. This way please!"
There was a convoy of several Rolls-Royces neatly parked by the roadside outside the entrance of the airport exit.
Shawn then led Charlie to the Rolls-Royce in the middle and said to his wife, "Jenna, you will take the car in front. Mr. Wade and I will take this car."
Jenna could only nod, turn around, and walk to the Rolls-Royce in front. After that, the bodyguard opened the car door for her, and she bent down and got into the car.
Shawn took the initiative to open the back door for Charlie and then smiled as he said, "After you, Mr. Wade!"
