Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 266

"Yes." Charlotte replied, "It was done by a professional assassin. It probably only needed one fatal strike. The killer's methods are very efficient and also very ritualistic. I discovered that the corpse was facing the only crystal chandelier on the ceiling. Furthermore, the location of the bloodstain on her clothes was also very strange."

"I didn't expect you to be so observant. Do you want to hear what Mr. Fuller saw?" Avery winked at her.

Of course Charlotte was curious, but she also wanted to check with Shane first. She tilted her head to look at him, hoping that he could say it himself.

Shane leaned against the back of the chair and said, "Tell her."

Charlotte curled her lips and asked, "Why didn't you tell me yourself?"

"Mr. Fuller doesn't like to talk. Didn't you know that?" Avery laughed, "Why would he do it himself if someone can do it for him?"

"You have a lot to say, don't you?"

"Alright, I won't talk so much. Let me tell you what Mr. Fuller found in simple terms. In addition to those points, Mr. Fuller also found that the pool of blood was spreading. That is to say, Mielle was first injured. Then, she dripped blood as she walked. That's why we suspect that there were two killers."

Charlotte was shocked. She really didn't hadn't seen that. If she had...

She would have run away immediately. That place was too dangerous. She could have easily become the killer's third victim.

Avery continued, "Mr. Fuller suspects that Mielle was injured in another room before she was assassinated in the hall. That is to say, these two killers don't know each other. We went to Mielle's room just now. Guess who we met there?"

"Rick," Charlotte replied.

"You got it in one. It was Rick. And when we just arrived on the first floor, Rick was accompanied by Kendall. We went to Mielle's room, but we didn't see Kendall, only Rick. However, Rick didn't know that we would go there. After Mr. Fuller saw him, he brought me away."

The inside of the car was silent.

The truth had already been revealed. It was only up to her whether to believe it or not.

Whether she would remember their past relationship or condemn him internally.

As Charlotte thought about this, she couldn't help but grab onto the hem of her skirt. The emotions in her heart were incomparably complicated.

She didn't believe that Rick would do such a thing, but she had a natural trust in Shane. If Shane said that there would be an earthquake in the next second, she would believe it without hesitation, let alone such a valid speculation.

Shane opened the window a little. "Don't feel down."

"Rick is a very good person." She knew that her words were particularly powerless.

"I know."

For some reason, Charlotte's mood got a little better.

Soon, Cole arrived at Avery's home.

Although it was called his home, it was more like a large office. There were five huge screens, three processors, and a huge operating terminal. The only resting place was a sofa that could barely count as a bed.

Avery sat in front of the operating terminal and skillfully tapped the keyboard. After a bit of typing, he opened the drawer next to him and took out a pair of goggles.

Then he typed some more. The machine made coffee automatically, and a robot brought a prepared sandwich and pizza to the coffee table.

"Is your home built on future technology?" Charlotte looked at all this curiously.

She had somehow gotten used to these kinds of things.

After all, Shane's also wanted to deal with science and technology. She needed to learn a few things.

These things seemed like science fiction, but in reality, they were already very common in some places. It was just that Avery seemed to be more intelligent in these things.

"I like this kind of stuff, so I can easily talk to Mr. Fuller." Avery pointed at the cake. "Have a taste. My database keeps updating recently. I don't know what flavor is better."

"I'll try it." Charlotte picked up a small piece of cake, took a bite, and complimented. "It tastes good."

"That's why I asked Mr. Fuller about it. When this is done, I'm going to open a new department in his company to sell cakes made by robots."

It seemed like a good idea.

Charlotte had a feeling that the cake would definitely be sold out.

After they had some cake and coffee, Shane and Avery formally started work, while Charlotte stood beside Avery and learned some programming skills. However, she had no foundation so she could only learn some basics and not harder skills.

One o'clock in the morning.

While Charlotte was drinking a second cup of coffee, Peter suddenly came online. "Ms. Emerson, are you still working with Mr. Fuller and Mr. Hart?"

"Yes, we're working at Avery's apartment. Do you want to come over?"

"I just woke up. I'm coming now."

He just woke up at one in the morning?

It didn't seem like there was a problem there. She had heard before that hackers were active at night and slept in the day, like bats.

Very quickly, Peter rushed to Avery's apartment and took over Charlotte's position. After all, compared to Charlotte, he was more suitable to stay by Avery's side.

As soon as Charlotte was released, she began to feel sleepy. She brought out the shipping routes software developed by Peter to study the shipping routes of the Jane and Stevens families. She liked learning more about her enemy.

"Why aren't you sleeping? Why did you come here?" Avery asked the robot to get Peter a cup of coffee and circled his neck with interest.

They looked like a pair of passionate lovers.

Peter did not avoid him, and his tone was the same as usual. "I just woke up.¹'

"Just woke up? At one o'clock in the morning?"

"What's wrong? That's my usual hour."

Avery was about to say that this was amnesia, but he noticed that was an obvious scar on the back of Peter's head. "Did you get hurt?"

Although he hadn't been disgusted by Avery before, once Peter heard him mention the word 'hurt', he prickled. He stared at Avery vigilantly while brushing down his hair.

Avery was amused by his reaction. "Hey, I'm just concerned about you."

"It's none of your business," Peter replied coldly.

When Charlotte heard the noise, she raised her head and said, "Avery, don't bully Mr. Fuller's employee. He values Peter very much. He had already sent Peter to me before he lost NC Company."

Avery was getting more and more interested in Peter. It was because Peter liked Zoe, which showed that they had similar tastes. The other reason was that Peter did not have good equipment, but his skills were almost as good as

Avery's.

In so many years, he had never met anyone whose skills could be compared with his. Peter was the first one.

"Oh, I'm just worried about him. There's a scar on his head," Avery said innocently.

The muscles all over Peter's body suddenly tightened.

"What's the matter then?" Charlotte did not even turn her head around. "Everyone has a story. Don't be too curious about it."

Peter suddenly relaxed, but the lights in his eyes flashed. He looked gratefully at Charlotte. His lips trembled for a long time before he finally said, "I, I was beaten by my father. He is dead, so I am fine now."

When he heard this, Avery was stunned and held Peter in his arms, "Sorry, I didn't know about this. How about this? If anyone bullies you in the future, you can tell me." Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

"I won't let anyone bully me anymore."

"Hey, kid, you're really..." Avery praised, "I like you."

"Work," Shane said coldly.

It was fine. Everyone doted on Peter. However, when he thought about it, he realized that, although Peter was cute and sunny, he had a sad past. It really made people want to care for him.

Avery sat back in front of the operating terminal and continued investigating. As he investigated, his expression suddenly changed. "Mr. Fuller, I've found some information on the assassin. It's about the same as what you guessed."

Shane put down the pen and walked behind Avery. He looked at the face on the screen, and the atmosphere around him became dark and gloomy.

It was him.
