Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 265

Charlotte had been waiting in the private room. Even if she had food to eat, it was still very boring. Although she liked to eat, she was not a foodie. The thought of eating could not completely suppress her restless heart.

She waited a little longer.

Shane still didn't come back.

She had no choice but to leave the private room with Cole to look for Shane.

As she went downstairs, she ran into a man and a woman going upstairs.

"Too bad about Rick's younger sister. The knife was stabbed right into the lungs. It must have been done by a professional assassin, right?" the woman asked.

"It must be. But isn't his sister abroad? Is she back?"

"How am I supposed to know? I'm only here to see if I can get any inside information on the Jane Corporation. I never thought something like this would happen. It's really difficult being rich."

It sounded like the two of them were reporters.

The more Charlotte thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. The sister the female reporter mentioned wasn't Anne, wasn't it?

"Let's hurry up," she said to Cole.

"Miss Charlotte, if the victim is Miss Anne, Mr. Fuller will definitely call me and get me to stop you from going downstairs."

What Cole said was reasonable.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

This was Shane's personality. He didn't like her to get involved in dangerous matters, although she felt that it didn't matter so much and was not something to worry about.

Soon, Charlotte and Cole squeezed into the crowd together. The facial features of the person lying on the ice-cold floor tiles were far different from that of Anne's. Even though she was covered in a large amount of blood, Charlotte could still differentiate her best friend from a stranger.

Charlotte let out a sigh of relief. "It's alright now. Let's look for Shane and Avery."

"Why don't you call him?" Cole asked with a smile.

"That's right, I almost forgot I can call him. I must be stupid..." Charlotte picked up her phone.

Cole couldn't help but laugh.

He didn't know if Miss Charlotte was stupid or not, but he knew that something else must have happened if Mr. Fuller didn't go back upstairs after finding out that it wasn't Anne.

He wouldn't necessarily pick up the phone.

Charlotte called him three times, but Shane still didn't answer. She could only give up looking for him.

She glanced at the corpse. It caused all the hair on her arms to stand on end. Charlotte immediately turned her gaze away and left the crowd, intent on finding Shane.

"Cole, did you see the body just now?"

"What did you notice?" Cole asked in reply.

"Well, I found that she was stabbed in the lung. Obviously, this wasn't an impulsive murder. The blood around has different colors, which shows that, at the beginning, the amount of blood was very

small. Later, she suddenly lost a lot of blood. That is to say, she had been injured for a long time, and only began to bleed freely when she walked to the center. This murderer seems very polite."

As she spoke, Charlotte stopped in her tracks and looked toward the center of the room.

The place she was standing right now was facing the center of the stairs, where she could see the whole space clearly.

The ceiling's crystal chandelier was the only source of light. The first floor was lit up, but the second and third floors, which were set back, were a little dark. She had just been in the private room on the second floor and had noticed that there were no lights in the room.

That was to say, the crystal chandelier was the only source of light. The huge light was enough.

After all, this was not that kind of event.

And the woman who died was lying right under the crystal chandelier.

From the ceiling to the ground, there were at least ten meters. It was about five stories worth of space.

"Not only was it a professional assassin, but they also know a lot about this place. They deliberately chose to kill today. In that case, we'd better find Shane quickly and then leave this place." The more Charlotte analyzed the situation, the more worried she became.

She couldn't be a detective. She only analyzed so much purely out of fear.

Cole wanted to find Shane as well, but he and Miss Charlotte couldn't do anything if Mr. Fuller didn't answer his phone.

"But, I still remember Avery saying that Shane wants me here to watch a show. Cole, do you know about this?" Charlotte asked again.

"I know. That's what he told me. I also don't understand why he came." "So I think this murder case is within his expectation. Now that we can't find him, we'd better leave here first."

Cole didn't understand. "Why?"

Logically speaking, staying in the private room was the best choice.

"No reason. I just feel that it is not safe to stay here. Cole, we can't get in touch with him anyway. If he wants to find us, he will call us."

"Alright, if you say so, Miss Charlotte. I will..."

Before Cole could even finish speaking, they heard another scream.

Right after that, the entire hall was thrown into chaos. Countless people walked towards the source of the noise.

The word "blood" was particularly attentioncatching. It seemed that someone had said that there was blood. For a moment, the people surrounding the corpse vanished.

Charlotte felt that this scene was both panicinducing and terrifying.

Sometimes, you can see all kinds of hellish scenarios on earth. It could be as serious as to involve national security, or as mundane to only involve two people.

Cole was also shocked by this ironic scenario. He bowed and said, "Miss Charlotte, as Mr. Fuller's assistant, let me escort you back now."

Charlotte didn't say anything. She looked at the crowd for a moment before leaving the hotel with Cole.

The moment the two of them left, they received word from Shane. He asked them to wait at the door for him and Avery.

"Looks like it was the right choice to leave," said Charlotte.

Cole nodded. He was a little impressed by Miss Charlotte's sixth sense.

Soon, Shane's car stopped at the door.

Cole was the first to open the door. After he escorted Charlotte into the car, he went to the driver's seat and opened the door. "Mr. Fuller, let me drive."

Shane unbuckled his seat belt and sat down next to Charlotte. He gave up the driver's seat to Cole and said, "Go to the office."

"What? Do you want to go to the office at this hour?" Cole was stunned.

It was already 8:30.

"Why don't you come to my apartment? It's quiet there. It's also where I work so you can use my

database," Avery suggested from the front passenger seat.

"Sure."

"The address is..."

While Avery told Cole the address, Charlotte asked in a soft voice only Shane could hear, "Did you find out anything?"

"Two people died. One is Mielle Jane, and the other is her bodyguard."

Her bodyguard?

Charlotte frowned, "How could this happen?"

"Mielle's bodyguard slept with her once before." Shane was quite straightforward.

"This..."

Charlotte wanted to complain that the Jane family were a mess. But, after she thought about it, her best friend Anne was also from the Jane family, so she really couldn't complain.

At that moment, Avery finished giving his address and turned to look at Charlotte. "In any case, this Mielle must have some complicated relationships. I have been investigating with Shane for a while. We think this was set up by the Stevens family."

"Why the Stevens family?" "Because right after Mielle's death, her shares were directly returned to Rick. In other words, Rick had been competing with Mielle among their generation. And Mielle is a girl, so she doesn't have Rick's advantages. Even so, she has a lot of say abroad. Besides, this was Rick's event."

However, Charlotte felt that there was something wrong with this logic. "If this is Rick's event, why would he murder his own cousin during it?"

"So we need to go back and investigate," Avery said.

However, they definitely did have assassins in River City. There were only foreign mercenaries up for hire.

Under these circumstances, whether it was the Stevens family or the Jane family, they all knew this was going to happen regardless of who did it. Otherwise, with the other party's influence internationally, it was impossible to hire a killer.

Mielle Jane had obviously been murdered under the cooperation of both families.

Murdered under the cooperation of the Stevens and Jane families.

Charlotte let out a bitter laugh. Mielle's death had truly been unjust.

"Did you guys see the corpses?" Avery suddenly asked Charlotte.
