Chapter 437 Staying in Sun House for the Time being
Charlotte had thought that the people waiting outside the villa would automatically give up when they didn’t see her for a long
time, but she had underestimated the temptation of two million dollars.
Those people waited outside the villa for three days, but they showed no signs of dispersing. There were even more and more
people waiting outside.
People were waiting outside not only the villa but also Horizon Group and other properties under her name.
However, these people just wandered around nearby and didn’t take any drastic action. Even if Charlotte wanted to call the
police, the police could do nothing to them.
Charlotte, who couldn’t go to the company, had to stay in the Sun House to deal with official business, which was not a big deal.
The only thing that puzzled her was that Joe, who used to be so busy that he wished there were 48 hours a day, seemed to be
very free. As long as she appeared in the study, he would soon appear.
Charlotte held it in for a while. Finally, one day, she stopped Jack, who was about to send documents to Joe, and asked, “Aren’t
you busy in the company recently? How come your boss stays at home every day?”
Jack, who was forced to work overtime every late at night, showed a professional smile and said, “The company’s business has
been going well recently, and there is nothing that needs the boss to deal with in person. And for the boss, the safety of you and
the children is the most important thing.”
Charlotte glanced at him and said, “I heard that you quarreled with Mandy recently. I’d better not let her send the documents to
me.”
“Miss Clinton!” Jack suddenly looked up at her with a pitiful look on his face and said, “Please understand me, a poor worker!”
Jack had always been an elite, but he suddenly showed such an expression in front of her. Charlotte couldn’t help laughing and
said, “Okay, I see.”
At this moment, Jack’s cell phone suddenly rang. When he saw the caller ID, his face changed slightly. He made an apologetic
gesture to Charlotte and quickly walked to the side.
Charlotte didn’t mean to pry into his privacy. When she was about to leave, she accidentally heard Jack say in a cold voice, “You
should know that even if you were near the Sun House, Mr. Smith wouldn’t let you in.”
Charlotte glanced at the expression of Jack and thought of what he said, and soon guessed who was calling.
It was Wendy.
She hadn’t caused any trouble since returning to the country. She rarely showed up in public except for the interview at the
airport, as if she had really repented.
But Charlotte didn’t believe it.
Jack whispered a few words to the other party before hanging up the phone in a hurry.
He raised his head and happened to see Charlotte’s slightly inquiring expression. He suddenly looked a little embarrassed.
Charlotte didn’t intend to continue asking. She just waved at him and went downstairs.
Because of the reward notice, Ben and Anna didn’t go to kindergarten recently. They were playing chess with Sir Smith
downstairs.
Of course, Anna and Sir Smith were playing chess mainly, while Ben sat by and watched. Every time Anna was about to lose,
Ben would pull her sleeve secretly and Anna would change the position of the chess piece immediately.
Sir Smith always glanced at Ben when Anna changed the direction of the chess piece. Obviously, the children’s petty actions had
not been hidden from him.
Charlotte smiled silently.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise at the door, and a sharp female voice said, “I just came back to visit Grandpa. Why
don’t you let me in?”
Hearing this familiar voice, Charlotte looked in the direction of the voice.
Sure enough, Wendy, who was carrying a gift, had a dispute with Daniel at the door.
