Chapter 618 What He Truly Cares About
The fact proved that I was right
What Charlie valued the most was not money, nor my sincere affection
He didn't even care about his son
In his mind, the most important thing was the image he had painstakingly cultivated for others
Though from a privileged family, he didn't rely on resources provided by his parents and achieved success step by step through his efforts
His wife passed away, but he never considered remarrying. To accomplish her unfulfilled wish,
he even devoted himself wholeheartedly to an unfamiliar industry
For the sake of his son's growth, he would personally accompany and care for him, no matter how busy he was
This was how people looked at Charlie Marilyn, almost perfect without any flaws. And it wasn't until today that I realized, a seemingly perfect person perhaps was the biggest flaw
Because you never knew what such a person was hiding, and you never knew how terrifying they could be
Even Aaron, an outstanding man, couldn't escape the rumors about his family secrets
Tabloids used to report that he was a playboy
However, there was hardly any negative news
about Charlie
If I had realized this earlier and explored those secrets about him earlier, maybe I wouldn't be trapped by his side like now
But now no use crying over spilt milk. The only option in front of me is to seize the opportunity to escape from his house
Fortunately, at that moment, I had already grasped the most important clue
When I mentioned Meiling Company, Charlie's face visibly relaxed for a moment
It was not until that moment that I realized that my true emotions could only have an effect on Charlie when expressed
What really made him make a choice was his persona
Before I could continue persuading him while he jumped into my train of thought, Charlie took the initiative
He asked, "Have you really thought it through? Divorce Morris and then tell everyone that you will live with me and become my lawful wife?"
He seemed to have a natural distrust towards everyone, but it's okay, at that moment I could see him as someone with a psychological disorder
The logic and way of thinking of a person with a mental illness were different from those of a normal person. Whether it was their paranoia or suspicion, it was all the external manifestation of the illness. I didn't need to pay too much attention to it for such behavior would not have any substantial impact on me
I kept persuading myself with such thoughts and silently forgave Charlie for everything he had done to me. After all, my top priority now was to get out of here
So I nodded and replied in agreement with his words
"Yes, I have figured it out. Instead of wasting time here, it's better to quickly resolve the issues between us. The combination of an excellent pharmaceutical researcher with the founder of one of the largest domestic cosmetics companies will bring blessings and envy from others."
I specifically mentioned the cosmetics industry
Since Charlie was most concerned about others' opinions of him and his career, I had no choice but to take advantage of this
And my guess and choice were completely right

He licked his lips and took a step forward, staring at my eyes intently with his head lowered. After confirming that I wasn't joking or playing tricks, he cracked a satisfying smile
"Great! Olive, you finally realize it. You're right
As long as we get everything nailed, we will become the most enviable family in the world!"
"But I have one condition," I immediately stated my request as Charlie's expression improved
"Although I will divorce Aaron, my daughters can't live without me. So, no matter what, I will specify visitation terms for my children in the divorce agreement between me and Aaron
Charlie, you know how influential the Morris family is. If media reported about Mr. Morris'
ex-wife cutting off contact with her own children after marrying Charlie, your image will be greatly diminished."
At first, hearing me mention my two daughters, he furrowed slightly
I knew that he expected me to completely let go of the past, but I couldn't say that. Otherwise, it would seem too fake
So I pretended to struggle in my mind and made such demands, while also bringing up the influence of the media. All these attempts were to make everything more convincing
After all, there were always ups and downs in life. A smooth journey seemed more like a drama
