Shawn was finally relieved and relaxed when he saw that Charlie seemed to have a crush on his daughter.
The fish had already opened its mouth, and the rest would depend on when he bit the hook.
After having a satisfying meal, Shawn said, "Mr. Wade, I still have something to do at the company in the afternoon, so I will not be accompanying you. Let Marianne accompany you to have a good time going around Hong Kong."
Charlie nodded and said casually, "Mr.
Long, feel free to go ahead and get busy if you have something to do. It’s good enough for me to have Miss Long accompany me."
Shawn nodded in satisfaction and instructed his daughter, "Marianne, be sure to be a good host and entertain Mr. Wade on my behalf ."
Marianne was also unambiguous as she asked directly, "When will you arrange for the donation of the fifty million Hong Kong dollars that you promised me?"
Shawn casually replied, "I will ask the finance department to transfer the money to your foundation’s bank account within three days as long as you are obedient."
Marianne nodded and said, "Mr. Wade is here as a witness, so you'd better keep your word."
"Of course!" Shawn said with a serious expression, "When have I ever failed to keep my word?”
When Charlie heard this, he suddenly felt a little disgusted.
Charlie did not know how many times Shawn had failed to keep his word in his life, but he knew that Shawn had broken his promise to his father after his father had passed away.
However, Marianne did not know this. So, she was relieved when she heard Shawn say this, and she said, "Alright, then!"
Charlie looked at Shawn, and he was tempted to ask him if he remembered Curtis as well as the agreement between him and Curtis.
However, after thinking about it carefully, if he were to ask Shawn this question now, Shawn would definitely guess that the reason why he had come to Hong Kong this time round was because of Janus, and not because he was here to discuss the collaboration with him.
It would also be likely that Shawn would think of his father as a result of this, and Shawn would then be able to deduce his identity from the fact that his last name was also Wade, coupled with his resemblance to his father.
