Chapter 97 Please Let Me Go
How could Charlotte let him do whatever he wanted to her
again?
She raised her hand and tried to hit Joe, but Joe caught her easily.
He sneered and said, “It seems that I have given you too much tolerance so that you feel that you can provoke me again and again.”
Charlotte also sneered. Before Joe could realize that something was wrong, she kicked him in the knee.
Joe took a step back in pain. Charlotte took the opportunity to escape from the chair and stood on the other side of the office.
“I won’t make the same mistake twice, and neither to a man.” Charlotte looked at him proudly. “If I remember correctly, Mr. Smith, you’re getting engaged soon. Why come to bother me – your ex-wife? Or do you want to tell me that just as your beloved wife is pregnant and the engagement party is approaching, you realized that your true love was actually me, and you don’t even hesitate to give up on Wendy, do you?”
He grabbed Charlotte by the wrist and pulled her in front of him. “Falling in love with you? Are you crazy? Mia, don’t forget that you were the one who insisted on marrying me and proposed a divorce and left without saying goodbye. But you have never been the one to make the decision between us.”
His world had always been under his control. Why could she come and go freely?
The disparity in strength between men and women made it impossible for Charlotte to break free. She could only soften her tone and say, “Joe, I already have two children with someone else, and you’re about to get engaged. Can you let me go?”
“Let you go?” Joe sneered. He bent down and whispered in the ear of Charlotte, “Let you go? On what grounds?”
Just when Charlotte thought that he would k*ss her forcefully like last time, he slowly straightened up.
Joe slowly let go of Charlotte and said lightly, “Charlotte, you can’t marry anyone without my permission.””
His slightly cold fingers swept across the back of the neck of Charlotte, making her tremble.
Please Let Me Go
With a chuckle, Joe opened the office door and turned to
leave.

Only then did Charlotte return to her chair with a solemn
expression.
“Are you all right?”
Seeing that Joe had left, Frank quickly walked in. He noticed that Charlotte did not look too good, so he asked.
Charlotte shook her head. “I’m fine.”
She just didn’t expect Joe to say that to her.
Coincidentally, David also came to see Charlotte at this time. Seeing that both she and Frank were not happy, he immediately asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? Is the Horizon Group going to close down?”
Frank looked at Charlotte hesitantly, who waved him away.
“What’s going on?”
Noticing that there was something wrong with Charlotte, David asked anxiously.
Charlotte did not repeat what Joe said. She only said that Joe
was very angry when he learned that the children were

David’s and came to question her.

David looked terrible. Frowning, he asked Charlotte, “Are you all right? Did Joe do anything to you?”
Charlotte was embarra*sed. She shook her head and said,
“I’m fine. You don’t have to worry. He just came to question me about Ben and Anna. I insisted that they were your children,
and he left.”
David said with a gloomy face, “Joe is not a person who can be
easily fooled. He must have other movements.”
David slammed his fist on the table. The more he thought
about it, the angrier he became. “He’s getting engaged. Why
did he still come to question you? Does he want to play the
same trick as before?”
