Early the next morning, Charlotte proposed to see Martha again.
Joe was a little surprised. He thought that Charlotte had known that he had
gone to see Martha last night.
But Charlotteâs next words made him breathe a sigh of relief.
âI just donât want her to think that she can use the video to control me, andâ¦
why should I let her be proud?â
As she said this, Charlotte carefully glanced at Joe. After all, she was talking
about his mother. If Joe didnât agree with her doing thisâ¦
Charlotte thought for a moment, but she still insisted.
Joe curled his lips into a smile. âYeah. Iâll go with you.â
Enter titleâ¦
To Charlotteâs surprise, Joe agreed very quickly, far beyond her imagination.
After the two of them got into the car, Charlotte looked hesitantly at Joe.
âWonât you be angry? After all, sheâs your mother.â
âMy mother passed away in a car accident more than a decade ago. Now⦠I
will ensure her a worry-free life for the rest of her days.â Joeâs expression
gradually turned cold.
Charlotte understood what he meant. He would no longer recognize Martha
as his mother. As for a worry-free life⦠It was hard to say where she could
have a worry-free life.
The two of them went to the detention center again. Martha, who had been
tortured last night, was now in low spirits. When she saw Joe and Charlotte
coming together, she shivered subconsciously, and then a hint of expectation
rose in her eyes.
Could it be that they had changed their minds?
But what Joe said next completely shattered her fantasy. âIâm here to
accompany her.â
Martha looked at Charlotte. She knew that no woman could escape the threat
of the sex video. Given that society was the most demanding towards
women, could Charlotte possibly be an exception?
âIâm here to tell you that your conspiracy will never succeed. Not only will I not
persuade Joe to save you, but I will also ask the lawyer to add this to the
lawsuit,â Charlotte looked at Martha calmly and spoke.
âAre you crazy?â Martha stood up excitedly.
If this was added to the lawsuit by the lawyer, not only would her punishment
be aggravated, but Charlotteâs reputation would also be completely ruined.
What was the benefit for her?
Perhaps because she was too shocked, Martha unconsciously asked this
question.
Charlotte sneered, âOf course, thereâs no benefit. But Iâm the victim in this
matter. Why should I accept your threats again and again? Women should
never be bound by such things, let alone submit to someone like you.â
At this time, Joe also walked up to Charlotte and put his arm around her
shoulder without hesitation. He looked at Martha coldly, âIâve watched the
video. I wonât give up on her because of this. Unfortunately, your plan failed.â
Even Joeâs questions and threats last night werenât as shocking as the two of
them coming together to say those words in front of her today.
Martha widened her eyes in disbelief. She stared at Charlotte and said
viciously, âDo you believe a few sweet words from a man? You have seen the
content of the video. Even if he doesnât mind now, he will come to his senses
one day, feel that you are dirty, then he will hate you, and abandon you!â
As she spoke, Martha slammed her hand heavily on the glass wall, showing her anger.
However, Charlotte still looked at her calmly.
