Although his trick was seen through by Barret, Joe didn't feel very depressed.
Because this trick was for Nicole. As long as she didn't see through it, everything was fine.
Since Chad had successfully lurked into the "enemy", he would continuously have an insight into Nicole's every move, so that Joe would take back the initiative.
Besides, hearing Barret's tone just now, he wouldn't tell her the truth at all, so what else did he have to worry about? Quicken the pace to earn money was the most important thing.
The thought of this made Joe smug again.
A person shouldn't get dizzy with success. Joe was thinking about how to make money from the Andrew Family, but he completely forgot that there were not many of those who pretended to be stupid on the surface but were actually very smart.
