Chapter 759 Confrontation in the Black Market
He indifferently stared at Selina, âMy one hundred million dollars wasnât meant
to allow her presence in your auction.â
âOne hundred million dollars?â Martha looked at Joe in shock, âYou⦠and
sheâ¦?â
Joe subtly exchanged glances with Selina, nodded to Martha, and said, âYeah, I
gave her one hundred million dollars to check the surveillance. I didnât expectâ¦â
Martha was completely stunned, shifting her gaze to Charlotte, lost in thought.
Selina pulled out a silver handgun, pointing it at Joe, âEven if it was me, what
can you do?â
At this point, Hope stepped forward, grabbed the muzzle of Selinaâs gun, and
calmly said, âIt was probably a misunderstanding by one of the subordinates.
Let it go.â
Selina looked him up and down and put away her gun.
She walked to the door and patted Dylanâs shoulder, âGet these people out of
here immediately.â
Dylan nodded expressionlessly, looking at the waiters behind them.
In the end, Joe and the others were âescortedâ out of the black market.
Joe looked at Hope, âThank you for just now.â
Hope sighed softly and patted Joeâs shoulder, âItâs fine. Since you are Marthaâs
child, I will naturally take good care of you.â
Joe lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on Charlotteâs face, without expressing
any opinions.
They returned to their home country as fast as they could, accompanied by
Martha and Hope.
According to the two of them, they happened to find Charlotte and wanted to
see how she was doing.
Moreover, Martha had finally remembered Joe and wanted to see if she could
remember more.
âIf you want to regain your memory, perhaps staying with the Pitman family will
be more helpful,â Joe said to Martha after getting off the plane.
Martha looked puzzled, about to refuse, when Joe said, âIâve already informed
Grandpa and Grandma about your return from the dead, and they were very shockedâ¦â Before he could finish, two elderly people with tears streaming down their faces came over and hugged Martha clumsily. Seeing her parents in tears, Marthaâs heart softened, and she hugged the two old people and started crying.
Joe greeted them and left the airport with Charlotte.
Charlotte, feeling uncomfortable, had fallen asleep on the plane. When they
landed, Joe refused Marthaâs suggestion to wake her up and carried her to the
car.
Only when she was in the car did Charlotte wake up.
She looked around, her brows furrowed as she retreated into a corner.
Seeing her like this, Joe felt a deep ache in his heart.
Suppressing his own emotions, he asked softly, âAre you still feeling unwell?â
Charlotte carefully assessed how she felt; there was no longer the intense pain
she had been experiencing.
She shook her head, âIt doesnât hurt anymore.â
She looked out the window and suddenly asked, âWhere are we going?â
âWeâre going home,â Joe was interrupted by Charlotte, âDo I own a house? Can
I live alone?â
âWhy?â Joe frowned, âIs there something about me that makes you
uncomfortable, orâ¦â
His eyes met Charlotteâs clear eyes, and he swallowed the rest of his words.
