Fled With CEO’s Twin Babies by Sherri Roman Chapter 396

Chapter 396 Engagement?
In addition, additional 30 million dollars was all he had at present. He was still unwilling to give up and wanted to get the
island.
Charlotte frowned when he couldn’t see her.
Why was Derek so persistent about this island? He didn’t even hesitate to lower himself to look for Joe to buy it privately.
But Joe still shook his head. “Sorry, I don’t want to sell it.”
Derek didn’t expect him to be so stubborn. His face darkened as he said, “Mr. Smith, do you believe the news about the
mine? If not…”
Joe glanced at him indifferently. “Why are you here, Mr. Clinton?”
Derek was shocked. He knew that Joe was mocking him for being here for the mine as well.
“I see.” Derek looked at him meaningfully. “Sometimes, it’s better to have one more friend than one more enemy.”
Joe’s expression didn’t change. “Send him away.”
After Jack sent him out, Charlotte hurriedly escaped from his arms and looked at him with a frown. “Next time, I won’t
need your help.”
Joe played along and said, “I’ll think of a way to help you next time.”
The aggressiveness in his eyes made Charlotte understand that this man was still the same Mr. Smith, even though he
had restrained his hostility.
After completing the formalities, Charlotte and Joe left the auction house.
Enter title…
Unexpectedly, she saw the female companion who had been with Derek crying on the side of the road. Derek also ran out
of the venue and hugged her to say something. The female companion slowly calmed down.
Back at the hotel, Charlotte and Sharon learned about the amount of money Derek spent at the auction. In addition, he
was willing to spend 380 million dollars on the island, which was almost 450 million dollars in total.
But Derek had no company under his name.
Charlotte remembered that Old Mr. Clinton once wanted to give him two companies, but he firmly refused. Derek said that
his father had pa*sed away, and he wanted to keep Clinton Group and the Clinton Family safe.
Charlotte knew that Old Mr. Clinton didn’t say anything at that time, but he still secretly prepared a lot of good things for
him.
Could it be that Old Mr. Clinton had given him something?
“I always feel that there is something wrong with it. Let’s ch*ck it out.” Charlotte looked at Sharon.
Sharon also felt that something was wrong and nodded.
But before the results came out, Charlotte received a message from Catherine, saying that Derek was getting engaged
and asked her to go back to the house.
An engagement?
Could it be the female companion from that day?
Charlotte thought for a moment and decided to go back and have a look.
The next day, when Charlotte told Joe about this, Joe frowned. “You didn’t run away, did you?”
“What?” Charlotte looked at Joe in disbelief. She didn’t expect him to say this to her.
Noticing her surprise, Joe curled his l*ps and said, “I thought my actions yesterday had made you unhappy. It doesn’t
seem like it.”
Charlotte was speechless.
It was time for her to get on the plane and send him a message.
Seeing that Charlotte was speechless, Joe handed her a business card. “I was just joking with you. If you need anything,
you can look for him. This is the business manager of Smith Group abroad. I’ll tell him that you have full authority.”
“No need.” Charlotte shook her head. She didn’t want to owe Joe any favors. “There’s nothing I can’t handle in the Clinton
Family for the time being.”
