Early the next morning, Charlotte proposed to see Martha again.
Joe was a little surprised. He thought that Charlotte had known that he had gone to see Martha last night.
But Charlotte's next words made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"I just don't want her to think that she can use the video to control me, and... why should I let her be proud?"
As she said this, Charlotte carefully glanced at Joe. After all, she was talking about his mother. If Joe didn't agree with her doing this...
Charlotte thought for a moment, but she still insisted.
Joe curled his lips into a smile. "Yeah. I'll go with you."
To Charlotte's surprise, Joe agreed very quickly, far beyond her imagination.
After the two of them got into the car, Charlotte looked hesitantly at Joe. "Won't you be angry? After all, she's your mother."
"My mother passed away in a car accident more than a decade ago. Now... I will ensure her a worry-free life for the rest of her days." Joe's expression gradually turned cold.
Charlotte understood what he meant. He would no longer recognize Martha as his mother. As for a worry-free life... It was hard to say where she could have a worry-free life.
The two of them went to the detention center again. Martha, who had been tortured last night, was now in low spirits. When she saw Joe and Charlotte coming together, she shivered subconsciously, and then a hint of expectation rose in her eyes.
