When she thought about the magical pill that Joe had given to her secretly, she could feel a warm current surging through her heart.
She would never be able to forget Joe’s kindness and generosity toward her.
At this time, Aurora, the hot and spicy pepper of the Quinton family was also having insomnia as she thought about Joe.
After her father had received the two magical pills from Joe, he had immediately given one of the pills to her as soon as they had gotten home. After that, Graham had told her to hide the precious pill well.
Therefore, Aurora kept the pill close to her, and her body temperature and fragrance were already imprinted on the pill.
Aurora was filled with happiness when she thought about the fact that this pill was given to her by Joe.
Meanwhile, Joe, the man behind all of this, was currently lying on the floor next to his wife’s bed as he had a really good night’s sleep as someone’s son-in-law.

Claire headed to her studio early the next morning.
After so many days of preparation, her studio was finally complete and officially ready to open.
Joe offered to help her many times, but she wanted to build up her own business with her own two hands.
Joe completely understood her feelings. After leaving the Wilson family, Claire had been thinking about how she could finally prove herself so that the Wilson family would not be able to look down on them.
At this time, Joe was neatly dressed as he headed out to the market to buy some groceries. After putting his hand into his pocket, he was suddenly reminded of all the gifts that everyone had given to him last night.
Two smart bracelet keys for luxury sports cars, a pair of antique wine glasses, and a cheque for one hundred million dollars.
Since the antique wine glasses were placed in a relatively large sandalwood box, Joe placed the box inside his closet. Initially, he had thought of placing the smart bracelet keys and the cash cheque for one hundred million dollars into his closet, but he had given up on the idea after some consideration.
This was because he knew that his mother-in-law would come into their bedroom and look around when she had nothing better to do. The last time Graham had given him the jade bracelet, Elaine had taken it and worn it herself even before Claire had had the chance to do so.
If his mother-in-law were to find out about the one hundred million dollars cash cheque and the smart bracelet key for the two luxury sports cars, she would unquestionably try to claim it for herself.
Most importantly, Joe would not know how to explain himself if she found out about it.
The one hundred million dollars cheque would be enough to scare her to death three times.
Therefore, Joe decided to bring the smart bracelet keys and the cheque with him as he headed to the vegetable market.
As he was making his way to the market, Graham made a phone call to him before asking, “Mr. Smith, did you like the sports car I gave you?”
“Ohh…” Joe replied, “I have not seen it yet.”
Graham quickly responded, “The car is at the Aurous Hill Convention and Exhibition Center. If it is not convenient for you to go there, I can get someone to send the car to your house instead.”
Joe replied, “No, please do not send it to my house. I will make time to check it out at the exhibition center.”
The neighborhood that Joe was currently living in was very ordinary, and each of the houses there was worth only two to three million dollars. There would certainly be a huge commotion if there were two sports cars that were worth more than forty million dollars each parked in the neighborhood.
Therefore, Joe felt that he should park the sports cars in the villa at Thompson First instead since he would not need to worry as they had a private basement parking in the villa.
After arriving at the vegetable market, Joe received a phone call from Douglas, his good friend from university. Douglas asked him over the phone, “Joe, where are you?”
Joe replied, “I am shopping in the vegetable market. What’s wrong, Douglas? Do you need my help?”
Douglas was a little hesitant as he said, “Well, I came to the Aurous International Auto Show today…”
Joe knew that Douglas was a fan of cars, and cars were one of his favorite things in this world. When he was still in college, he had saved up a month of his living expenses just so that he could go out of town to watch the auto show.
Joe smiled before he asked, “Did you go there to see cars again?”
“Yes.” Douglas replied before he said, “This time, there are several world-class limited edition sports cars on display. It would be a rare opportunity for me to take a look at the cars.”
After that, Douglas continued speaking, “Oh, by the way, I did not call you to tell you about cars.”
Joe replied, “Why are you looking for me, then?”
Douglas hesitated for a moment before he said, “Well, I was just walking around the exhibition hall when I saw your wife.”
“My wife?” Joe asked in surprise. “Why did she go to the auto show?”
“I do not know either,” Douglas replied immediately. “She was with another man. That’s the reason why I decided to call you to ask whether you knew about this.”
Joe frowned immediately.
Why was Claire at the auto show with another man?
Why hadn’t she told him about it?
Although both of them did not communicate much, they would tell each other about their daily plans. However, Claire did not tell him that she was going to the auto show with another man. Was she hiding something from him?
Even though Joe was the young master of the Smith family and even though he was well respected by many wealthy and powerful men in Aurous Hill, he still lacked confidence in his relationship with Claire.
He was also worried that Claire would succumb to temptation. After keeping silent for a moment, Joe quickly said, “Thank you for informing me, Douglas.”
