Chapter 249 A Call from Sir Smith
“You always… knew the boy was me?”
Joe’s voice was bitter as he used all his strength to ask this question.
“No.” Charlotte shook her head. “I didn’t know until Stacy told me…”
Joc couldn’t stand it anymore. He staggered to his feet, stared at Charlotte, and said, “I’m sorry.”
Before she could reply, he had already stumbled away.
Charlotte looked at his back and frowned. “Is Jack here?”
Frank nodded. “Jack has been waiting outside. He should be able to send Mr. Smith back safely.”
Only then did Charlotte relax. After all, Joe was her business cooperator and children’s biological father. She did not want anything to happen to him here.
In the next few days, Charlotte did not see Joe again. She thought that he had accepted the matter after the initial shock, so she did not pay any more attention to him.
The only thing that puzzled her was that Joe did not retaliate against Wendy.
Having known Joe for many years, she knew him well. He would never tolerate such deception, nor would he let Wendy go so casily.

Obviously, Joe wasn’t that sort of person.
Charlotte frowned but quickly relaxed. No matter how much Joe and Wendy pestered each other, this matter had nothing to do with her anymore.
That day, after work, Gideon went to have dinner with Charlotte to discuss the progress of the Holiday Resort Venture project.
After chatting for a while, Gideon suddenly asked, “Mr. Smith hasn’t been to the company recently. Do you know what’s going
on?”
Charlotte was stunned and shook her head. “I don’t know.”
He nodded thoughtfully. “I thought Ben and Anna would keep in touch with him.”
Speaking of this, Charlotte didn’t know what to say about Joe.
Perhaps he really wanted to be a good father and had made a lot of attempts during this period of time, but Wendy would always appear at critical moments when they met, and even the children did not have a good impression of him.
Charlotte indeed wanted to stop them from meeting, so she would not put in a good word for Joe.
As a result, their relationship became lukewarm, and the two children rarely took the initiative to contact Joe.
Charlotte did not explain in detail and just said vaguely, “The two children only care about playing every day. How can they remember him?”
Gideon curled his lips into a smile and said, “Judging from your reaction, you seem to have really walked out of the past.”
He still remembered that when he first saw Charlotte, there was always a faint sadness between her eyebrows and there seemed to be a figure in her mind.
But now, it seemed that there was no haze in Charlotte’s eyes. When she mentioned Joe, she was no longer as depressed as before. She was really relieved.
Charlotte smiled and said, “People always have to look forward.”
After dinner, Gideon thoughtfully carried her bag. Just as he was about to send her back, Charlotte received a call from Sir Smith.
Seeing the caller’s name, she was stunned.
Although Sir Smith kept in touch with her after she returned to Zyphoria, he usually called her during working time and rarely
called her at this time.
“Sir Smith?” After Charlotte answered the phone, Sir Smith said in a slightly tired voice, “Mia… do you have time to come over now?”
“Does anything happen?” Charlotte did not agree immediately but asked.
