Charlie said that he would come over at night because of other reasons. Jordan and Kathleen would arrive in New York at night, hence, Charlie planned to bring the two of them to the Fox family and end this matter.
Xavion would never understand the deep meaning behind Charlie's meaningful words, but he could not be bothered to think about it either.
All he had in his mind was how to make them stay. He could not allow them to leave, otherwise, all their efforts would be in vain.
Besides, the kidnapper had not given them much time, and time was ticking.
As he thought of that, he could only swallow his pride and apologize, "Please don’t be angry. I hope you can forgive my rudeness earlier."
Then, he turned to Charlie and said against his will, “Mr. Wade, I'm sorry for offending you earlier. Please don't mind me!”
Charlie ridiculed, "I did not expect a privileged man like Mr. Xavion to easily bend to the will of others, which is truly impressive."
Xavion knew Charlie was mocking him. However, he did not dare to say anything further and simply nodded.
"Mr. Wade, I’m so sorry. What happened earlier was just a misunderstanding. I hope we can turn the page after clearing the misunderstanding. What do you think?"
Charlie said smiling, "Okay. If you want to turn the page first, let’s turn it over. Maybe you can find a suitable time and turn the page again. I'll be waiting for you whenever you want to turn the pages again."
Xavion did not expect Charlie to speak to him in such a satirical manner. Charlie showed zero respect for him and did not take him seriously. If he could afford it, he would have ordered his men to beat Charlie to death.
However, he had to hold back his anger considering that there were more important things for the afternoon meeting.
Xavion then voluntarily led Charlie and Quinn through the manor's gate.
Three Rolls Royce cars were waiting inside the gate, and Xavion informed the two, “Our family has a rule that forbids any outsider's car from entering. Please take another car to the villa."
Spencer saw Charlie and Quinn come in together, and his eyes narrowed slightly as he studied them carefully.
Xavion introduced Spencer to them, "Let me introduce you to my father and the head of the Fox family, Spencer Fox."
Quinn gave Spencer a gentle nod as a greeting. Meanwhile, Charlie went straight to the point and asked, "What's the point of you all trying to do this?"
Spencer faintly said, "Young man, I invited Miss Golding today for a casual meal and to inquire about some personal matters. If you don’t mind, please go out and wait for us."
"Should I go out and wait?" Charlie said with a half-smile and directly took a seat across from Spencer.
Finally, he arched his brow and said, "If I leave, how are you going to find out the whereabouts of your grandson, Homer?"
