The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

Meanwhile, Charlie and Kathleen had already left the hotel and were on their way to Steerlain Island.

Kathleen knew that Charlie hoped that she would give a speech to endorse Shawn at the housewarming ceremony today. She was a little puzzled, and after holding onto the doubts in her heart along the way, she could not help but ask, "Mr. Wade, I cannot figure out why you want me to endorse Shawn today?"

Charlie looked at Kathleen, smiled slightly, and said, "You're the smartest woman I've ever met. Don't you understand our ancestors' method to deal with someone harshly before offering them something by way of consolation?"

Kathleen laughed faintly and said, "I understood the strategy of tempering justice with mercy ever since I was very young, but I feel that you have already taught Shawn a good lesson and that he will definitely act more honestly from now on. There is absolutely no need to give him any consolation anymore. What's more, you're not giving him a simple consolation. With the size of the Fox family, if I were to endorse him, you would basically be giving him a huge reward."

Charlie was slightly startled. After that, he smiled somewhat unnaturally and said, "I hadn't thought much about this. I just felt that it wouldn't be that bad to encourage him because his performance so far has been pretty good."

Kathleen looked at Charlie and then smiled as she said, "In truth, you know that the reason why you're being so benevolent to him and even giving him such a generous gift is mainly because of Miss Marianne, right?"

Charlie was somewhat embarrassed at first, but he then felt that there was no need for him to hide too much in front of Kathleen. So, he simply nodded and admitted, "There is indeed a reason for this. I guess I feel a little guilty because I hid many things from her before." Kathleen nodded and smiled as she said," Miss Marianne actually likes you very much. She was very sad when she found out that you were already married. She wasn't crying like that at the food street last night because she had dropped her cell phone. It was because she suddenly could not accept it when she heard that you were already married."

Charlie asked in surprise, "She told you that?"

How could she cry like that because of a cell phone?
