Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 369

Avery's subordinates quickly came to the scene to deal with what happened. In the face of this disaster, Avery did not panic at all. He even took Olive to get her milkshake. When Olive was in front of the diner, Olive could not help talking to him. "Mr. Avery, is this really okay? The car just exploded, but we were here to buy milkshakes. What if the culprit rushed in and stabbed us to death? I think that's what happens in those action films. When explosions don't work, they'll use knives."

"You're still watching action movies?" Avery did not take her words to heart at all. On the one hand, he knew how to fight. On the other hand, no one would dare to assassinate them so openly. Once everything comes to light, the assassin and the person who hired them would be in danger.

To assassinate Avery, they would be risking their own life. This was not worthwhile—this was also a benefit of the rapid development of the country.

"Oh look, it's Pewdiepie. I love him." Olive tried to imitate him with a serious expression. "Hello everyone, I'm Pewdiepie. Come join me on Genshin Impact. If you join with my code, you can get a chest of gold, and several unique bonuses.

This game is explosive and you can level up easily. It's a game that isn't pay-to-play."

Avery was amused by her antics. "Not bad, not bad. Looks like our Olive has the potential to go into the entertainment industry in the future."

Our Olive.

Olive's heart felt warm for some reason when she heard these words.

After they got the milkshakes, Avery brought Olive back to the scene of the explosion. He realized that most of the surrounding people had already dispersed and the police had already arrived. The

experts were inspecting the scene and examining it.

"What's the situation now?" Avery asked his subordinate.

"Avery, this explosion was meant to cause the car to catch on fire. If you got in the car, you may not die directly, but you would have gotten burns on over 98% of your body. You probably wouldn't die, but the effect would have been gruesome," the subordinate answered respectfully. "As for Miss Olive, if she were in the car, she would have definitely died. So the culprit has already made an attempt to kill someone. You can directly hand the evidence to the authorities." "Alright." Avery pointed at the car and said, "Send the whole thing over and send someone else to keep an eye on the progress. I want to know who is so bold as to do such a thing in broad daylight."

"Yes, sir."

The police were very efficient. Through the surveillance footage, they confirmed that it was a man who put the bomb on the back door. The bomb was put on the car door so that the explosion would not be so serious. Firstly, the explosion only needed to set the car on fire. Secondly, since it was placed outside, it would harm fewer bystanders. It meant that the perpetrator did not want to cause trouble to the community. This bomb was set for Avery.

After Avery sent Olive home, he went to the police station alone.

The police pointed at the monitor and said, "Look, according to the angle you walk to the car, these are some blind spots. Only in these two places can he conclude that you entered the car and not walked forward."

Avery nodded thoughtfully. "Is it possible that he didn't want me to get on the car? Perhaps the explosion was just to scare me."

"We don't think there is such a possibility. Firstly, the range of the bomb is very small, and there was no delay on the bomb. That means that the perpetrator wants to personally confirm that you are burned or dead. Second, this person's target may not be you, but the child."

"The child?" Avery frowned.

"Yes, the reason why we are so certain is that we have found someone suspicious when we went through the suspects. You should know this person."

Olive's previous adoptive father?

Avery felt that the world was too ridiculous. He put his hands on the table and said, "Sorry, I'm not doubting you, but I want to ask if you have any evidence? You don't have to give it to me. What I mean is, please tell me if you have it."

"Yes," the policeman said decisively. "Not only does it exist, but we can even show you a high definition picture. This is not something that needs to be hidden. After all, you have the right to know all this."

"Sorry to trouble you," Avery said wearily.

Soon the police brought the photos and videos. The video was not clear, but the photos had been enhanced.

Olive's adoptive father had a remote control in his hand as he hid in the crowd. The person who looked like the person who set the bomb was standing beside him. Was this a coincidence?

Avery could not convince himself. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

He only said, "Thank you. Sorry to trouble you. I would like to handle it myself."

"Mr. Hart, we don't usually show this information to civilians. You know that we have to first determine your intentions before we can decide," the policeman said.

"My intention is to meet him and confirm this."

"That would of course be the..."

Before the policeman could finish speaking, another policeman in casual clothes hurriedly opened the door and gasped out, "Sir, the two suspects committed suicide and died. The child's adoptive mother had an emotional breakdown and had an aneurysm. She is now being treated in the hospital. Their child is currently in summer camp. Should we protect the child first?"

When he heard this, Avery had a bad feeling in his heart. This might not be a simple act of revenge. These two people might really hate Olive. Then what about the person who gave them the bomb?

Avery's mind was in a mess.

Charlotte received the news from Shane's friend at the police station. When they heard that something had happened to Avery, they passed the news to Shane. They wanted to ask him what he thought. After all, according to the rumors, Shane and Avery were partners.

"How could such a thing happen..." Charlotte looked at the picture on Shane's computer and felt viscerally uncomfortable. "How can they do this to a child? Even if they were being used by others, there must be some reason. They must really hate Olive."

But why on earth would they hate Olive?

Shane only frowned and didn't express any opinion about this.

Charlotte continued to flip through the documents. The more she read, the more uncomfortable she felt. In the end, she decided to give up and sat down on the sofa. "Are we going to intervene in this

matter?"

"Avery himself didn't tell us anything."

"Why wouldn't he tell us about such a big thing?" Even Charlotte felt that it was very strange.

"Maybe he thinks that the culprit's goal is to see whether he will contact us or not."

Charlotte felt that this speculation had the highest possibility of being true. She nodded her head in approval. "Then are we just going to wait like this?"

Shane hummed in agreement.

In theory, it was better not to be involved in this matter with Avery. However, it was related to Olive. Of her previous adoptive parents, one was dead and the other was in the hospital fighting for her life. Charlotte couldn't just leave this matter aside. But how could she best help?

Suddenly, Shane came up with an idea.

"Lottie, come here."

When she heard his command, Charlotte obediently walked to his side. Before she could stand properly before him, Shane pulled her into his embrace. Before she could react, he placed her in his lap and held her arms so she was unable to move.

"What are you doing? We're at the office. What if someone comes in and sees us?" Charlotte was so scared that her little face turned pale. It was not because she was frightened by his intimacy, but because his speed was too fast.

She had just been standing there, how did she suddenly fall into his embrace?

Shane put his lips close to his ear and said, "I can help you find a way out. But you have to give me some benefits, don't you?"

Benefits?

Charlotte's mind went blank.
