Actually, after Neil and Pedro formed an alliance, they spent some time
discussing the password to the treasure map.
However, they were slower than Joe. So, when they went to find the treasure
with great interest, they got nothing.
âCan I come with you in the afternoon?â Dennis looked at Ben and Anna
eagerly. Fearing that Ben and Anna would disagree, he quickly raised his
hand and said, âI promise to only go with you and wonât share your
treasures.â
Ben and Anna quickly turned to look at Charlotte and Joe. They also knew
that they were in a competition and couldnât let anyone join them casually.
But Joe and Charlotte were not worried that Dennis would do something.
Charlotte smiled gently at Dennis, saying, âAs long as your Dad and Mom
agree, we have no problem with it.â
Dennis quickly cheered and ran out of the room.
Unfortunately, his wish wasnât granted because Pedro rejected him
righteously and promised to take him to find the treasure in person.
Not long after Dennis left, Charlotteâs room door was knocked again.
When Charlotte opened the door and saw Max, who was a little embarrassed,
she was surprised. âMr. Dickson, how can I help you?â
Max raised his head and cracked a wide smile at her. âI have heard about
your deeds but have never had time to chat with you. Would you mind if I
come over now?â
Charlotte didnât expect his visit, but she didnât intend to embarrass him. She nodded quickly. âOf course not.â
She didnât know whether it was her misunderstanding, but she thought Max seemed to be a little too enthusiastic toward her.
As soon as he entered the room, Maxâs eyes fell upon the unwrapped gift
boxes on the table, and a trace of envy flashed.
âYou actually found so many treasures. Youâre really amazing!â Max
marveled.
Max smiled at Charlotte. Although his tone was exaggerated, it was not
annoying at all. Charlotte lowered her head and smiled, âWeâre just lucky.â
Not far away, Joe coldly looked at the two smiling at each other, and his face
was terrifyingly gloomy.
The netizens happened to watch that.
[Mr. Smith must be jealous.]
[See how Mr. Smith looks at him. He could cleave Mr. Dickson in half with
nothing but a dark look. Mr. Dickson still got time to run away!]
[Itâs too late. Mr. Smith has already come over!]
âWell⦠Iâ¦â Max was hesitant to speak. Before he could finish his sentence,
he saw a figure standing in front of him and Charlotte.
Stunned, he looked at the man in surprise. âMr. Smith?â
Max thought that Joe was aloof to outsiders, and he didnât expect that Joe
would take the initiative to chat with him. So, he was happy.
Max didnât notice Joeâs strange expression, but Charlotte could clearly see it.
She knew Joe didnât want Max to get too close to her, so he deliberately stood
between them.
If it were someone else, he might have misunderstood because of Joeâs
behavior. But fortunately, Max had no such thoughts.
Instead, he was very excited.
âMr. Smith, actually, I have admired you for a long time. I didnât expect that I
would have the opportunity to talk to you face to face now. Itâs reallyâ¦â
Max couldnât contain his excitement. He looked at Joe, his eyes twinkling, and
the admiration in his eyes was sincere.
Joe never saw that coming.
Originally, he just couldnât stand Max smiling too brightly at Charlotte, but he
didnât expect Maxâs real target to be himself.
âCan I join you?â Max asked cautiously.
