Fled With CEO’s Twin Babies by Sherri Roman novel Chapter 396

Chapter 396 Engagement?

In addition, additional 30 million dollars was all he had at present. He was still unwilling to give up and wanted to get the island.

Charlotte frowned when he couldn't see her.

Why was Derek so persistent about this island? 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 glanced 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 played 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.

After completing the formalities, Charlotte and Joe left the auction house.

Unexpectedly, she saw the female companion 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 female companion 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 dollars on the island, which was almost 450 million dollars in total.
