Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 259

Zoe sighed. She took out a pocket mirror from her bag and looked at her frowning self in it. She had to admit that she really couldn't understand what Charlotte and Peter were thinking.

"I won't lie to you. I really don't understand, so..."

"I thought you understood when you asked him if he wanted a ride." Peter heartlessly made fun of his crush. "I didn't expect your IQ to be so low."

Zoe was not angry. She just said, "I'm willing to hear your detailed explanation."

Her reaction made Peter have a better impression of her. Zoe was not incapable. How could she be if she was Shane's secretary? She was always calm and kept a low profile.

Peter liked this character of hers.

He cleared his throat and said, "According to Ms. Emerson's style and habit from before, she wanted you to meet Avery and exchange information as soon as possible for the sake of efficiency. This is also the way Mr. Fuller works. This way, she can achieve the highest efficiency. Besides, she has a good relationship with Avery, so she doesn't have to worry about being impolite."

Zoe nodded, because she understood this part.

"So based on this, Ms. Emerson asking you to convey that they have something more important to talk about tomorrow is very illogical. There must be a reason if something is abnormal. Avery will definitely guess that is true. Ms. Emerson's purpose is to make him guess the truth."

"Guess the truth?"

"With one night as a buffer, Mr. Hart will not do irreparable damage impulsively." At a red light, Peter looked at Zoe beside him. "You are usually very smart, why are you so confused at such a critical

moment?"

"I really didn't think too much about it." Zoe was impatient. She had been Shane's secretary for so long. There was no way she didn't understand such things.

However, she didn't expect that Charlotte would use this kind of method.

"You think that Ms. Emerson is familiar enough with Mr. Hart that she doesn't have to be so deliberate?"

"Yes, that's right."

"It's precisely because they're too familiar with each other that they have to do this." "Why?" Zoe was puzzled.

"Ms. Emerson knows Mr. Hart. She knows that he will definitely be impulsive, so she wants him to use tonight to think through what he can do and their consequences."

Zoe finally understood.

Charlotte's thought processes were so meticulous.

She originally thought that Charlotte wanted her to follow Peter because she wanted to play matchmaker and get them both together.

It seemed that Zoe had been too judgemental.

In fact, Charlotte was telling her that Peter complemented her. But at the same time, Peter might not be unsuitable for her.

The next day.

Charlotte got up, brushed her teeth, and walked out of the bedroom in a daze. She immediately saw Shane drinking tea in front of the French window.

He was frowning and seemed to have something on his mind. He was not using his usual mug, but rather a very tasteful glass. Because there was ice in it, the tea had already cooled down.

"I'm going to see Avery," Charlotte greeted him.

Shane turned around and nodded at her.

When she looked at him head-on, Shane looked even more downcast. Charlotte's heartstrings pulled as she walked forward with a bit of worry, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

"Then..."

"You can go."

Charlotte was still worried about Shane. On the way to the meeting with Avery, she asked Cole for information. He said that Raina went to see Christopher and was then driven out by him. Someone from the Fuller family had come forward to support Christopher and even invested in NC Company.

As Charlotte listened, she could only feel angry. "But Shane started his own business back then!"

"Miss Charlotte, you don't understand. Mr. Fuller has been a genius since he was a child. In addition, he has a father like Theodore. He is the best in the entire family, in the main and other branches."

"Therefore, those people have always hated him and thought that if it weren't for him, they could have taken more of the Fuller Group's funds. Mr. Fuller wanted to give up NC Company because he

wanted to start another business and completely break off from the Fuller family."

"Why is that?" Charlotte asked.

"He guessed that Christopher was sent by someone in Fuller family, but he didn't expect that he was his brother..."

Charlotte couldn't help but feel sorry for Shane from the bottom of her heart.

When she arrived at the place, she was still in a daze. All she could think about was Shane's gloomy expression.

As Cole had said, he should have been favored.

"Hello, why are you so absent- minded when meeting me?" Avery reached out his hand and waved it in front of her.

"Sorry, before I came... Forget it, let's not talk about me. I want to talk about the Stevens family with you. Of course, I'm not sure if it's true or not. You need to investigate it yourself."

Avery had already prepared himself. He picked up the teapot and poured tea for himself and Charlotte, "The flower tea here is good."

"Kendall has an older brother called Caleb. He fell in love with your younger sister a few years ago, and their father Ryland fell in love with your girlfriend. They were brought to the Stevens residence, and then..."

Charlotte didn't finish her sentence.

What else could happen when two women were taken to a stranger's home?

Avery's expression changed. However, he only clenched his fists and continued smiling as he looked at Charlotte, "And then?"

"They promised to commit suicide together. I don't know why your girlfriend died but your sister didn't. So the key to this matter lies with your sister."

"She lost her memory, and now she is disabled. Her life has been ruined, and the key lies with her?"

"Yes, with your younger sister's relationship with Caleb."

Avery had thought of countless reasons why Charlotte had come looking for him.

He had never expected this.

He thought his heart was strong enough.

He even thought that maybe Charlotte was trying to scare him. She wanted to tell him this matter should not be enough to bother him.

Until this moment, he felt like a fool and a madman.

Avery lifted the cup of tea with reddened eyes. But when the cup reached his lips, the drink in the cup was much reduced. His hands were trembling

very much.

"That's not necessarily true, so I hope you can investigate it some more. But on my end, there's only..."

"I have cooperated with Peter. If he can find the information, then it cannot be false. At worst, his investigation might obtain information that's slightly more superficial than what I found. He's a skilled hacker." Avery drank his tea.

This was the first time Charlotte saw Avery crying.

His eyes were red, and the tear marks formed a transparent waterfall on his face. Tears flowed down his chin and slid into the teacup in front of him.

"Avery, if this is true, your sister..."

"She deserved to die." Avery shouted lowly, "She deserves to die. Irena liked her so much. She deserves to die!"

Charlotte was speechless.

Avery took a deep breath, but his expression became more ferocious. "I am not Shane. I can't act fine after being betrayed by my closest friend. I just want to go back and kill her to avenge Irena!" "Calm down, even if your sister really has a problem, it's still the Stevens family that should be blamed."

Avery was stunned.

Then he burst out laughing.

Everyone in the cafe turned to look at him.

One braver man muttered, "What a nutjob."

Avery directly picked up a teacup and threw it at the person's table. The porcelain teacup broke into pieces in an instant.

The man said irritably, "What do you think you're doing, you piece of sh*t? This is a public place. You still have..."

Before he could finish his words, Avery rushed to him like a wild animal. He used his fists and kicks to teach him a lesson.

Charlotte didn't stop him. First, because it was useless to stop him. Second, she should leave it to the authorities. If Avery was locked up in the police department, maybe he would calm down.

Avery took out his wallet and threw a stack of money on the floor. He said, "Don't make a fuss. Take the money and get out of here."

The money on the floor must have amounted to at least a few tens of thousands of dollars.

Charlotte sighed and grabbed his shoulder, "Avery, go back to your seat and calm down." NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Avery looked at the person on the ground coldly and turned to sit back down.
