Chapter 396


    Chapter 396 Engagement?


    In addition, additional 30 million dors was all he had at present. He was still unwilling to give up and


    wanted to get the


    ind.


    Charlotte frowned when he couldn’t see her.


    Why was Derek so persistent about this ind? He didn’t even hesitate to lower himself to look for Joe


    to buy it privately.


    But Joe still shook his head. “Sorry, I don’t want to sell it.”


    Derek didn’t expect him to be so stubborn. His face darkened as he said, “Mr. Smith, do you believe the


    news about the


    mine? If not…”


    Joe nced at him indifferently. “Why are you here, Mr. Clinton?”


    Derek was shocked. He knew that Joe was mocking him for being here for the mine as well.


    “I see.” Derek looked at him meaningfully. “Sometimes, it’s better to have one more friend than one


    more enemy.”


    Joe’s expression didn’t change. “Send him away.”

    After Jack sent him out, Charlotte hurriedly escaped from his arms and looked at him with a frown.


    “Next time, I won’t


    need your help.”


    Joe yed along and said, “I’ll think of a way to help you next time.”


    The aggressiveness in his eyes made Charlotte understand that this man was still the same Mr. Smith,


    even though he


    had restrained his hostility.


    Afterpleting the formalities, Charlotte and Joe left the auction house.


    Enter title…


    Unexpectedly, she saw the femalepanion who had been with Derek crying on the side of the road.


    Derek also ran out


    of the venue and hugged her to say something. The femalepanion slowly calmed down.


    Back at the hotel, Charlotte and Sharon learned about the amount of money Derek spent at the


    auction. In addition, he


    was willing to spend 380 million dors on the ind, which was almost 450 million dors in total.


    But Derek had nopany under his name.


    Charlotte remembered that Old Mr. Clinton once wanted to give him twopanies, but he firmly


    refused. Derek said that


    his father had passed away, and he wanted to keep Clinton Group and the Clinton Family safe.


    Charlotte knew that Old Mr. Clinton didn’t say anything at that time, but he still secretly prepared a lot of


    good things for


    him.


    Could it be that Old Mr. Clinton had given him something?


    “I always feel that there is something wrong with it. Let’s check it out.” Charlotte looked at Sharon.


    Sharon also felt that something was wrong and nodded.


    But before the results came out, Charlotte received a message from Catherine, saying that Derek was


    getting engaged


    and asked her to go back to the house.


    An engagement?


    Could it be the femalepanion from that day?


    Charlotte thought for a moment and decided to go back and have a look.


    The next day, when Charlotte told Joe about this, Joe frowned. “You didn’t run away, did you?”


    “What?” Charlotte looked at Joe in disbelief. She didn’t expect him to say this to her.


    Noticing her surprise, Joe curled his lips and said, “I thought my actions yesterday had made you


    unhappy. It doesn’t


    seem like it.”


    Charlotte was speechless.


    It was time for her to get on the ne and send him a message.


    Seeing that Charlotte was speechless, Joe handed her a business card. “I was just joking with you. If


    you need anything,


    you can look for him. This is the business manager of Smith Group abroad. I’ll tell him that you have full


    authority.”


    “No need.” Charlotte shook her head. She didn’t want to owe Joe any favors. “There’s nothing I can’t


    handle in the Clinton


    Family for the time being.”
