Chapter 107 You’re a Bad Person
Joe raised an eyebrow. “Special?”
Anna seemed to want to say more but suddenly recalled something her brother had mentioned. She
took a few steps.
back.
“I won’t talk to you. You’re a bad person,” Anna turned her head away from him.
Joe’s expression darkened instantly. “Your mother is portraying me this way to you?”
“You’re not allowed to say bad things about my mommy!” Anna was instantly infuriated when she heard
him criticizing Charlotte. Like a little firecracker, she charged toward Joe, her
small fist pounding on his leg.
“What my brother said is right. You’re a bad person! I never want to talk to you again!”
The commotion drew Charlotte’s attention. She rushed over to hug Anna tightly and glared at Joe.
“What did you do to her?”
Joe couldn’t help but laugh in exasperation.
The child called him a bad person, and her mother looked at

level of condemnation?
Just as he was about to speak, a call from Wendy came in.
His expression darkened, and he saw both Charlotte and Anna turn their heads away simultaneously,
refusing to look
at him.
Joe suppressed his smile, grabbed his phone, and moved to
the side.
“Joe…” Wendy’s voice carried a tone of extreme grievance, “Today is the day of our engagement
banquet! How much longer do you want to leave me alone here?”
Joe looked back at Charlotte and Anna, his voice slightly
subdued. “I’ll come back as soon as the results are out.”
With a touch of probing, Wendy asked, “Couldn’t Charlotte stay there alone? Why did it have to be you
accompany her?”
“If I had known it would come to this, I would have rather
never met you back then,” Wendy cried out.
After a moment of silence, Joe replied calmly, “I understand. I’ll
be back soon.”
This was the first time he felt annoyance when Wendy brought
up their past.
Joe walked up to Anna and looked down at her from a higher position. “What your brother said is all
false. I’m not a bad
person.”
After saying this, he glanced deeply at Charlotte before turning to leave.
As he reached the elevator lobby, he ran into the head nurse
rushing over with a thermos box in hand. She was speaking to someone next to her as she hurriedly
walked by, “This child has Rh-negative blood type. Be extremely cautious during the blood transfusion.
If anything goes wrong, the dean won’t
spare you.”
Joe’s steps faltered slightly, but he didn’t dwell on it and drove

Initially, the absence of Sir Smith from the engagement banquet had already sparked quite a few
speculations. Now, with Joe leaving without a word, Wendy faced explicit taunts, especially from those
who had always disapproved of her
actions.
Wendy was almost driven to madness by their sarcastic remarks and was about to confront them when
Joe returned.
She hurried over to Joe’s side, her voice laced with grievances, “Joe, just because you left with them,
I…”
Joe cast a faint glance at those people. Instantly, they walked away with awkward expressions, leaving
only Wendy, who remained displeased.
“Is that all you’re going to do? Let them go like that?” Wendy looked incredulously at Joe. “I am now
Mrs. Smith. Their covert insubordination is a direct affront to the Smith Group…”
“They wouldn’t dare.” Joe looked calmly at Wendy. “I remember you used to advise me not to care
about those people.”
Previously, owing to the Charlotte incident, there were individuals who gossiped about them. Wendy
consistently persuaded Joe to remain composed, saying that those people were merely driven by
momentary curiosity. Now, with the situation altered, her attitude had taken a stark turn.
