    Chapter 248 The Follow-up of the


    Past


    As the only heir of the Smith Group, Joe could always be described as noble in front of others. But now,


    his cor had been rudely torn open, his suit was wrinkled, and his eyes were full of confusion and


    helplessness.


    If others saw him like this, they would suspect that the Smith Group was on the verge of bankruptcy.

    Charlotte pursed her lips. “What happened to you?”


    Joe looked up at Charlotte. Her clear eyes were full of doubts, confusion, and even inquiry.


    But there was no care in her eyes.


    Once upon a time, even if he frowned, Mia would ask about it for a long time. But when she became


    Charlotte, all kinds of things that Mia would do disappeared.


    All of this was his own fault.


    “I…” Joe’s voice was hoarse, and his eyes fell on her arm.


    There was only an eye-catching scar left on the ce where the birthmark should have been.


    “What happened to the sear on your arm?” Joe’s throat seemed to have been rubbed by a piece of


    sandpaper, and there was a faint smell of blood.


    Charlotte looked at her arm in shock. The scar had followed her for so many years that she sometimes


    forgot its existence. But there was nothing she couldn’t say. “I encountered something when I was a


    child…”


    As she spoke, Charlotte suddenly understood.


    She looked at Joc curiously. “You know?”


    Joe abruptly raised his head. “What should I know?”


    His eyes were so terrible that Charlotte frowned. “Do you know that Wendy is not the person you are


    looking for?”


    It was as if a heavy hammer had struck his heart. Joe was in so much pain that he almost curled up his


    body, but he still stared at her. “When did you find out that she’s not the person I’m looking for?”


    “I went to see Stacy for the kidnapping case before, and she said that.” Charlotte’s expression


    gradually became indifferent.


    She had once offered her heart to Joe, but he had dismissed it.


    She thought that Joe really loved Wendy, butter on, she found out that everything she had suffered in


    the past was all because of a ridiculous reason.


    What was even more ridiculous was that the person who should have been repaid was actually her.


    Except for the word ‘ridiculous’, she couldn’t think of any other words to describe it.


    “I…” Joe opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.


    Charlotte looked indifferent. She pointed to the scar on her arm and said, “Not long after you left, one of


    the kidnappers came back. When they found out that you were missing, they wanted to get some


    information from me. At that time, I didn’t say anything. They took out a dagger and wanted to threaten


    me but identally scratched me. I cried so hard. They were worried that you would find others for


    help ande back, so they threw me into the mountains.”


    Speaking of this experience, Charlotte still had a lingering fear.


    If she had been found by the policeter, she would not be standing here now.
