Chapter 762 Ties of the Black Market
The person on the other end of the phone was Selina.
The moment Charlotte appeared in the black market, Selina sensed
something was wrong.
Instead of acting rashly, she took the initiative to contact Joe.
At that time, Joe had just received a call from Martha and quickly figured out
the situation.
Martha and Hope had bribed people in the black market to quietly send
Charlotte in and stage a rescue act.
By the time Selina realized what was happening, the person who had bribed
Charlotte had already âdied accidentally,â leaving no evidence.
Joe decided to collaborate with Selina to turn the tables on Martha and Hope,
making them think he truly believed them.
âThank you for today,â Joe paused before thanking Selina.
She chuckled, âIf it werenât for your deep love for your wife, I wouldnât have
helped you.â
There are too many scumbags in this world, so when she encounters
someone truly devoted, why wouldnât she lend a hand?
âIf they make any other moves in the future, please let me know right away.â
Selina agreed without hesitation, âAs long as the money is right, I can do
anything for you.â
After hanging up the phone, Joe went downstairs.
Ben and Anna were already gone.
Joe was somewhat surprised; Charlotte had just returned, so how could they
just leave her?
Noticing his confusion, Charlotte explained, âThey probably sensed my
awkwardness and made an excuse to go upstairs and make gifts for me.â
Suddenly having two such big kids, Charlotte didnât know how to interact with
them and had no recollection of the past they talked about.
She couldnât bear to disappoint the children, so she just nodded and agreed.
Perhaps because of this, Ben and Anna took the initiative to find an excuse to go upstairs.
After hearing Charlotteâs words, Joe looked at her seriously and said, âWe are
all your family; we can accept you whether youâre good or bad. You donât
have to force yourself to look happy; they will understand.â
âBut they are just two childrenâ¦â Charlotte frowned, not knowing how she used to interact with the two children. But she knew that if her own mother suddenly became a stranger to her, she would be very sad.
Joe was silent for a moment before softly reassuring her, âEverything will get
better.â
When it was time to sleep, guided by Mrs. River, Charlotte came to her own
room and saw Joe leaving with a pillow.
She belatedly realized that as Joeâs wife, she should be sleeping with him.
But nowâ¦
âIâm in the next room; if you need anything, just call out for me,â Joe said
proactively.
Hearing him say that, Charlotte could only nod silently.
Upon opening the door to the master bedroom, she found everything in the
room unfamiliar.
Maybe her past self had always lived here, but now she felt nothing but
unfamiliarity.
After taking a shower, she lay in bed, staring at the ceiling.
She thought it would be hard to fall asleep, given that she hadnât had a good
nightâs sleep for days.
