The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 65

Claire was very curious about the series of strange events that had happened today. 1

First was the car racing incident. Why was Charlie’s BMW 520 twice as fast as Clinton's 540?

Second, the ancient painting that was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars!

Third, how and why did Charlie know the people of the underworld? Not to mention how polite and respectful they were towards him. 5

On their way home, Charlie provided some explanation about the whole string of events.

Firstly, the BMW 520 was a test drive car that was modified by the showroom in order to make buyers mistakenly believe that the model was very powerful.

Claire didn't know much about cars, so she believed him.

Secondly, he explained about the painting when they were at the restaurant. He had bought it at a low price from an acquaintance out of courtesy and he gave it to Douglas as a gift as a token of affection.

However, the matter about Scarface was a bit tricky. H e had to find a solid and believable explanation to disclose their connection since Claire saw it firsthand how diligent Scarface was towards him. 2

Lastly, he could only claim that Scarface's brother was a relative of a friend that they had met at a gathering before. He recognized him at the restaurant, so he showed respect on behalf of the mutual friend. 2

Initially, Claire felt something was off and didn't want to buy it, but since Charlie was very serious and earnest, she knew that that was all the answers she was going to get and so, decided to stop questioning him. 2

Meanwhile, Loreen had been observing Charlie all along. The more she watched him, the more she felt that Charlie was not that simple of a person, so she decided to keep an eye on him to find out his secrets! 2
