Chapter 90 Why Did You Investigate Her?
Wendy looked at Joe uneasily.
Joe patted her on the shoulder to comfort her. âIâll go upstairs with Grandpa first.â
Wendy agreed. She lowered her gaze and said, âDonât get into a conflict with Grandpa because of me. Iâm fine.â
Although she said so, her aggrieved posture was fully expressed.
Joe did not comfort her again. Instead, he looked away indifferently and thus missed the hint of resentment that flashed through the eyes of Wendy.
When he came to the study, Sir Smith asked directly, âDid y investigate Charlotte some time ago?â
you âDid she tell you?â Joe thought Charlotte was going to complain to Sir Smith, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that Charlotte herself might not know about it, so how could she tell Sir Smith?
Sir Smith snorted and said, âIsnât it normal for me to know that youâve used our familyâs manpower?
Since youâve decided to get engaged to Wendy, why are you investigating her?â
Sir Smith had always been protective of Charlotte, so Joe didnât dare to hide anything from him and told him what had happened that day.
âI investigated Charlotte just because curious about that child. I didnât mean anything else.â
Thinking of the kiss that night, Joe looked gloomy, but he didnât show it in front of Sir Smith.
âThe twins temporarily raised in her home?â Sir Smith was keenly aware that something was wrong, but he didnât say it out.
He glanced at the person downstairs and asked, âAre you sure you want to marry her?â
Joe nodded.
Sir Smith sighed and said, âItâs true that thereâs no need to rely on a marriage alliance to consolidate the position since our Smith Group has developed to this point, but itâs not suitable for her to be the mistress of the Smith Group. Donât blame me for being long-winded. Thereâs too much desire in her eyes and sheâs too ambitiousâ¦â
âI know.â Joe said expressionlessly. âSheâll only be my wife, not the mistress of the Smith Group.â
Sir Smith glanced at him and sighed. âItâs good that you understand. I wonât attend your engagement party.â
Joe looked at Sir Smith in surprise.
Without the presence of Sir Smith, Wendy would not have been accepted by everyone, let alone become the mistress of the Smith Group.
âGrandpa⦠Joe tried to persuade Sir Smith. âWhen I married Mia, you gave her enough face.â
âWho is Mia and who is she?â Sir Smith said angrily, âIâm special to Mia not only because she saved my life, but also because she has a deep affection for you and acts appropriately!â
He waved his hand and said, âDonât say anymore. Itâs my bottom line not to stop you. So you donât think about anything else.â
Joe could only leave the study.
Not long after he left, Sir Smith quietly took out his mobile phone and ordered, âFind out the kindergarten where the two children of Charlotteâs relatives attended. Iâm going to have a look.â
After that, Sir Smith hung up the phone thoughtfully.
Although Joe claimed that he had found out that the two children had nothing to do with him, Sir Smith had a strange feeling that things were not that simple.
That night, Sir Smith received the address of the twoâs kindergarten. Looking at the note, he was lost in thought.
