Chapter 595 David Is Back “That assistant of hers…” Charlotte frowned as she watched the assistant who was following Sandra. Joe covered Charlotte’s eyes with his hand, his voice low, “Don’t look at other men. He was one of Sandra’s lovers, and being her assistant was just a front.” Yesterday, Sandra had been drugged, but not her assistant. He was just accustomed to such behavior. Shortly after Sandra left, the trending topics about them were cleared completely. Numerous tech bloggers analyzed the photos, trying to prove that they were staged. Then, the official account of the Smith Group released a post with the surveillance video from the parking lot that had been muted. It demonstrated that there was no physical contact between the two throughout the whole incident. Public opinion quickly rebounded. The criticism that had been directed at Joe for being unfaithful and a playboy was now turned against Sandra.
Sandra’s positive image had yet to surface, which prevented angry netizens from exposing her identity. Under Joe’s insistence, the Roland Group also replaced a business representative to negotiate with the Smith Group, and everything seemed to be gradually returning to normal. However, Charlotte knew that Sandra wouldn’t easily let this big loss slide. After the trending event, she disappeared from the public eye, and nobody knew where she had gone. On this day, Joe had a business meeting with the representatives from Roland Group, so Charlotte planned to pick up Ben and Anna from school.
Just as she arrived at the kindergarten gate, a familiar figure blocked her way. Charlotte impatiently raised her head, her face showing a hint of surprise. “David?” Enter title… David smiled and hugged Charlotte, only releasing her after a while. “How have you been?” Charlotte hadn’t fully recovered from her shock and simply nodded before taking a closer look at David. Over a year, David had slimmed down a bit. The frivolous and careless look in his eyes had faded away, replaced by a sense of maturity and stability. This was probably what his parents had hoped for the most. “You’re back. What about the child…” Charlotte glanced behind him but didn’t see Danny. David smiled and explained, “Danny’s condition has completely recovered. The doctor allowed him to return to school, and my parents took him to choose a school today.” Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief, genuinely happy for David. While the Lily incident was regrettable, Danny’s recovery was indeed a fortunate event. Silence fell between the two of them. Over a year of separation had added a layer of unfamiliarity, increasing the distance between them. “Since it’s a coincidence, why don’t we have dinner together?” David smiled and suggested to Charlotte. Charlotte thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Coincidentally, at this moment, Ben and Anna were also done with school, and the three children rushed happily toward David. “Mr. Johnson!” Anna was the first to run over and tightly hugged David. David smiled warmly as he embraced her and let out a sigh, “Little princess has grown up.” Ben walked up to David, who then lifted him over his head with a grin. “Why don’t you recognize me after not seeing me for a little over a year?” Only then did Ben call out softly, “Mr. Johnson.”
David’s gaze shifted to the figure of Peter, who was standing not far away, and he appeared somewhat surprised. “And who is this?” “This is my little brother!” Anna replied loudly, pulling Peter with her towards David. “This is Mr. Johnson! You can call him, and he’ll be really nice to you!”
