Charlotte refused the invitation from Sonsini to stay with them. She took Joe to an apartment downtown.
Opening the apartment door, Joe was stunned.
Although the apartment was clean, it could be seen that the decoration inside was very old. It didn't look like a house that had been bought in recent years.
"This is my mother's apartment," Charlotte explained to Joe as she walked in. "After my mother left, Grandpa kept this apartment and passed it to me."
Charlotte had never really seen Judy before. She could only see a little of Judy in the furnishings of this apartment.
Joe understood how Charlotte felt. He walked to her side and held her shoulders. "Charlotte, no matter what decision you make, I will support you."
Charlotte was silent. She didn't know if her mother would feel relieved if she knew the truth.
It was getting dark. Charlotte glanced at the layout of the apartment and was stunned.
There was only one master bedroom in the apartment, and the other rooms had been changed into a cloakroom and study. This meant that Joe had no place to sleep...
Charlotte glanced at the apartment with embarrassment and said hesitantly, "Joe, I call the driver to take you to your apartment."
Looking at Charlotte's slightly uneasy expression, Joe curled his lips, "I've sold the apartment."
"What?" Charlotte looked at Joe in disbelief. She did not believe that Joe would sell his apartment so easily.
However, Joe looked innocent and insisted that the apartment had been sold.
"Well, I'll ask the driver to send you to the hotel, okay?" Charlotte asked again.
Joe shrugged. "I'm allergic to hotels. I'm not used to staying there."
Hearing this, Charlotte would be a fool if she still didn't realize that there was something fishy.
