Chapter 70 First Confrontation
“Watch out!”
1/4
As soon as Jack reminded him, the little boy fell to the ground.
Joe frowned slightly and stepped forward to lift the little boy up. For some reason, the child in front of him always gave him a familiar feeling, but he was very sure that he had never seen this child before.
“Where are your parents?” Joe asked with a dark expression.
The little boy shook his head blankly.
Joe became cold all of a sudden. He had nothing to do with this child, but he was very angry with the boy’s parents’ dereliction of duty.
Without hesitation, he carried the child into his car.
“Mr. Smith?” Jack looked at Joe in surprise. When did Mr. Smith become a warm-hearted citizen? “We don’t know where
the child comes from. Isn’t it better to send him to the police station?” Jack asked.
Joe glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.
Ben, who pretended to get lost, was secretly observing Joe. When he saw this, he couldn’t help but frown.

He was forced to plan this scene today. Since Anna knew that
their father was still alive, she had been clamoring to see Joe.
However, Ben was afraid that she would expose themselves,
so he had to promise to take a look for her.
Looking at the handsome and aloof Joe, Ben curled his l*ps.
Jack had no choice but to order the driver to drive while reporting today’s schedule to Joe. “This morning, we are going to the city hall with Miss Clinton to talk about the land with Mr. Brown. If there are no problems, we can sign the contract today.”
Joe acknowledged in a low voice. His gaze remained fixed on the little boy beside him.
Miss Clinton?!
Ben was shocked. He tried his best to keep a straight face, but his heart was in a panic!
He knew that his mommy seemed to be cooperating with Joe recently but didn’t know that they were going to meet today! If
w him, wouldn’t he be exposed?
In a panic, he remembered that every time Anna made trouble, she would do the same thing, which was acting like
she was sick!

He covered his stomach with his little hand and cried out in
pain.
Joe had been keeping an eye on him, immediately lifted him onto his lap, and frowned. “What’s wrong?”
Ben had never lied before, so he was so anxious that his face turned red. After a long while, he said, “My stomach hurts.”
“Turn around and go to the hospital,” Joe ordered the driver without hesitation. With a cold face, he asked, “Can you bear it?”
Ben was in a panic and was thinking about how to cover up his lie, so he didn’t hear what Joe said at all.
Looking at Ben, whose face was flushed, and unable to speak, Joe thought his stomach was too painful for him to speak.
He hesitated for a moment and put his hand on Ben. “Where does it hurt?”
Sensing the big hand on his belly, Ben blushed. He lowered his head and mumbled a few words without saying anything.
Joe should have been very impatient with this but still put his hand on Ben with a dark face and said nothing.
The driver soon drove to the hospital, but Ben was unwilling to
get out of the car. “My stomach doesn’t hurt anymore. I don’t need to go to the hospital.”
Joe snorted coldly, his face expressionless. “Your face was red from the pain just now!”
“No!” Ben turned his head. “I don’t need to go to the hospital.”
Joe gave him a meaningful look, then suddenly reached out and pulled him under his arm. “Let’s go.”
Ben was stunned. He had been doted on since he was a child, and this was the first time someone had carried him away like this!
