Chapter 784 Shadows of the Black Car
Coming out of CAL Restaurant, Joe’s sharp gaze immediately pierced
towards a black car parked at the street corner. He subtly exchanged a look
with his b*dyguard, who immediately understood and left.
Charlotte, noticing the b*dyguard leaving, frowned and asked, “What’s going
on?”
Joe took her hand, “It’s nothing, let’s get in the car.”
Just as the car door opened, a scream came from the street corner.
Charlotte looked over and saw the b*dyguard pulling a man out of the black
car parked there. The man seemed to be crying for help, but unfortunately,
this was CAL Restaurant’s turf, and when they realized it was Joe’s
b*dyguard, they immediately backed off.
Finally, the b*dyguard dragged the man away, disappearing around the
corner.
“That car has been secretly following us since we left the villa, until just now,”
Joe said, a glint of fierceness flashing in his eyes, but he didn’t show it in front
of Charlotte.
Back at the villa, Sir Smith came out to greet them with two little kids, “How
did it go?”
Looking at the hopeful eyes of the old man and the two young ones, Charlotte
felt warmth flood her heart. Joe took Charlotte’s hand and told them what
Dorothy had said.
Sir Smith breathed a sigh of relief.
His heart had been lifted ever since Charlotte was taken away, and now that
she was back, he was not expecting her to lose her memory.
In his eyes, Joe and Charlotte had come a long way to be where they are
today and should not face such hardships again.
Now that they finally saw a glimmer of hope, it was indeed good news.
Joe nodded, “Don’t let this get out.”
He hasn’t forgotten that there’s still Smollett to deal with.
After listening to Dorothy today, Joe understood why Smollett took the risk to
appear beside Charlotte.
On the one hand, he was confident in his abilities; on the other hand, he was
worried that the effects of Nusparin would metabolize too quickly, allowing
Charlotte to regain her memory.
Sir Smith thought of Martha and sighed deeply.
When the Smith family and the Pitman family had married, it was because the
Pitman family was simple and Martha was innocent.
But he never thought that so many years later, Martha would become what
she was now.
He patted Joe’s shoulder heavily, sighed deeply, and said, “You… she is your
mother after all.”
Joe lowered his eyes and pressed his l*ps, not responding.
Soon, the b*dyguard reported back with the investigation results.
The person secretly following them was a private detective, allegedly hired by
a middle-aged man to track them and report on their whereabouts.
As for the middle-aged man, the private detective also sensed that he was
not the real employer, but he was just doing his job for money and had no
intention of further investigation.
After hearing the b*dyguard’s report, Joe sneered.
They had perfectly concealed themselves, even hiring a private detective to
do the tracking.
Just then, Mr. River announced, “Ms. Martha is here.”
Joe immediately hid the joy on his face, and Sir Smith also went upstairs with
Ben and Anna.
Martha walked in quickly. Her first reaction was to look around, and a trace of
disappointment flashed in her eyes when she didn’t see Ben and Anna.
“I heard Ben and Anna are back; why haven’t I seen them?” Martha said with
a gentle smile, wanting to sit next to Charlotte.
