Chapter 392 That's My Cousin

"Did Wesley admit it?" At this time, Charlotte had dried her hair and changed into a set of casual daily clothes.

Joe also relaxed a little. "Yes, she admitted that she is the illegitimate daughter of Brian and is willing to help us deal with Brian and Linda." He was not worried that Wesley would lie to him. If she did not cherish this opportunity, he had many ways to make her regret it.

Charlotte was stunned. "You don't have to..."

"Just take it as compensation?" Joe interrupted her. "Besides, with Ben and Anna around, the Clinton Family has long regarded us as one." "You don't have to do this." Charlotte knew that Joe was just looking for an excuse to help her. She didn't want him to be involved in these matters. Joe curled his lips into a rare smile. "What can you do to me if I want to stand behind you?"

At this point, if Charlotte continued to refuse, she would be ungrateful. She could only nod and say, "Then I'll leave Wesley to you."

In any case, Wesley had never intended to ask him for help from the very beginning, so she could just pretend that she didn't know.

Sure enough, she did not see Wesley the next day.

Now that the cooperation with H country had been settled, Charlotte thought about it and flew to S country in advance.

The auction would be held in a few days. She was indeed very interested in that island. If the price was suitable, she planned to buy it, but she didn't intend to let Joe give it to her.

Joe had no objection to this. The group of people left without saying a word. In less than half a day, they stepped on the land of S country.

But she never thought that she would meet her cousin, Derek Clinton, at the airport.

Derek was the only child left behind by his deceased uncle. He was also the favorite child of Old Mr. Clinton besides Charlotte. However, Charlotte always had a bad feeling about this seemingly gentle and generous cousin, so they did not get too close.

The moment she saw him, Charlotte lowered her head and hid behind Joe.

Although Joe didn't know what was going on, he reacted very quickly and covered Charlotte.

Fortunately, Derek seemed to have something urgent to deal with and did not notice her presence. He left the airport in a hurry.

It was not until he disappeared that Charlotte walked out from behind Joe.

Realizing what she had just done, Charlotte immediately distanced herself from him. "I'm sorry."

"It's alright." Seeing that she wanted nothing more than to widen the distance between the two of them, Joe lowered his gaze and hid the disappointment in his eyes. "That man just now was..." Charlotte didn't hide it from Joe. "That's my cousin. In fact, I don't need to hide from him. I just don't want to have anything to do with him."

When she was in the Clinton Family, she had little contact with Derek, and he rarely took the initiative to appear in front of her.

Joe understood and went straight to the point. "Do you think he's dangerous to you?"

"There's no evidence, but we still have to keep a respectful distance." After Charlotte gave a brief explanation, Joe did not continue to ask, "Let's go."

Charlotte nodded. Sure enough, when she walked out of the airport, she did not see Derek again. He should have left first.
