Chapter 159 Only by Setting A Long Line Can We Catch A Big Fish
Charlotte raised her eyebrows indifferently. “What woman? I don’t understand what Mr. Patrick is talking about.”
Although she said so in her mouth, the expression on her face didn’t seem like she didn’t know anything at all.
Patrick looked gloomy. He couldn’t believe he had been playing tricks for so many years, but he had been fooled by a woman.
He said fiercely, “Good, very good! I, Patrick Pope, have been in the business for so many years, but I have never suffered such a loss.”
“You flatter me.”
In the face of the fierce momentum of Patrick, Charlotte was calm. “You don’t have to be so angry, Mr. Patrick. Thanks to the person you found who was familiar with me in the past…”
After saying those meaningful words, she swaggered away.
She didn’t expect Joe to get into the same car as her.
“Is this why you talked nonsense at the door last time?” Joe asked in a deep voice.
Charlotte didn’t hide it from him and told him everything about Mrs. Vega, but she didn’t tell him that she had anything to do
with Wendy
“After discovering that there was something wrong with her, I asked Frank to make a fake bidding document and put it in the study. As expected, she took it away.”
Joe raised his eyebrows. “The last sentence you said that on purpose to Patrick.”
“Of course.” Charlotte chuckled. “Only by setting a long line can we catch a big fish. If we don’t push the fish too hard, how can it jump out of the water?”
Joe looked at Charlotte quietly.
In his impression, Charlotte always had a gentle smile on her face as she cooked at home and waited for him. No matter what his reaction was, she would tolerate everything.
Even if he had always looked down on her, she would never be
angry.
The only time she was angry was when they divorced.
Now, she was full of confidence and didn’t show any mercy when dealing with people. She was like a pearl covered with dust that had finally been brushed away and began to shine.
“The Pope family won’t let it go so easily. Why don’t you let the child stay at my place for the time being?” Joe suggested, hiding the emotions in his eyes.
Charlotte refused without hesitation. “Mr. Smith is newlywed, so the two children won’t disturb you.”
To let Ben and Anna live with Wendy was no different from sending a sheep into a tiger’s den.
Joe frowned. “You’re that hostile to her?”
Charlotte suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Joc in disbelief.
She had thought that Joe had returned to normal. However, it would appear that it was all an illusion.
“I’m here. Goodbye, Mr. Smith.”
Seeing that they had arrived at the villa, Charlotte got out of the car without hesitation.
In the car, Joe’s face darkened.
After a while, Jack asked Joe, “Mr. Smith, shall we go?”
“Yes.” Looking at Charlotte’s back, Joe felt anxious.
Back in the villa, Ben and Anna surrounded Charlotte for the first time. Carefully, Ben saw the injury on Charlotte’s ankle at a glance. He squatted at the foot of her and looked up at her. “Mom, you are injured! Are you in pain?”
Seeing that Ben wrinkled his little white face, Charlotte’s heart was about to melt due to his cuteness. How could she remember the pain?
She shook her head. “I’m fine.”
At this time, Mr. River and Mrs. River also cam
