He had always thought that Charlotte was kept in the dark, but he didn't expect that she had known about it long ago and even communicated with David in advance.
"But why did you suddenly bring this up?" Charlotte frowned. David had been out of the country for so long...
Then, Joe told Charlotte about the threats from Sandra.
Charlotte sneered, "It seems like she really sees me as a thorn in her side."
Although Sandra was from a distant branch of the Faulkner Family, she had been very active in the family for years. There were even rumors that Huxley might groom Sandra as the heir to the family.
She probably never dreamed that, just as victory seemed within her grasp, there would suddenly be an unexpected turn of events. She couldn't have imagined that the legitimate heir, Congreve, would turn out to have a biological daughter.
Billions of dollars in family assets disappeared right before her eyes. It was unimaginable for anyone to accept.
"With me around, she won't have a chance to harm you," Joe suddenly held Charlotte's hand and pulled her into his arms with a strong grip.
He lowered his eyes slightly and met Charlotte's gaze in his arms. "Since this matter is already settled... should we do something else..."
Without waiting for Charlotte to speak, he kissed her passionately.
In the misty hot spring pool, Charlotte clung tightly to Joe's body. She felt like the spring water in the pool, drifting with the flow, following Joe's every movement.
In the end, Charlotte didn't even know how she had fallen asleep...
The next morning, Charlotte woke up in the sunlight.
