Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 433

It was not easy to find Zander. But when they did, they realized that he was already dead.

He was very generous. Every day, he would go to the restaurant and invite a few of his friends to eat and drink together. Sometimes, he would drink for an entire day. It was not surprising that such a person would die. He was only in his fifties, but he was all skin and bones. He looked like a dead person in his pictures.

Halfway through, there were no more clues.

"Just what could happen at the age of 12..." Charlotte was racking her brains.

If they didn't investigate this matter thoroughly, it would be almost impossible for Shane to regain his memory.

"Honestly, I think he's doing pretty good now," Avery said as he pointed his head at the door. "Look. He's having so much fun."

Charlotte looked in the direction he was pointing at. Braden and Rick were indeed enjoying themselves. Not only were they teasing Shane, but they were also calling each other funny names. The two of them had obviously been bullied by Shane very often. Otherwise, they wouldn't have treated him like this. Not to mention Braden, but even Rick was playing with him like that. It just showed how amusing it was to play with Shane.

Charlotte massaged her temples and said, "It's up to you all then. Just pray that he will not be able to recover his memories for the rest of his life and that he will not remember the things that happened recently either."

"It's a good time to have fun." Avery burst into laughter. He sounded pretty optimistic.

He was optimistic, but Charlotte was not. She took out her phone and read the message that Peter had sent her. Suddenly, an article caught her eyes. Her finger hovered over the message and lightly tapped on the blue link. An article popped out.

A fire.

Charlotte elbowed Avery's arm and said, "Hey, look at this. Do you know this person who died in the fire?"

Avery turned and looked over with cold eyes. "Of course I know him. He's my brother that I've never seen before. If he hadn't died young and my family didn't think that I was too weak, my sister wouldn't have been born. Why are you asking this kind of question?" "The fire. Your brother died in a fire."

"And?"

"It was exactly on Shane's 12th birthday."

Avery froze for a moment. But then, he felt that it was impossible, so he waved it off and said, "If Shane knew my brother, then why did he pretend not to know me at that time? He knew my brother, but didn't know me? It doesn't make sense."

"That's why I have to confirm two things now. The first thing is that whether Shane knew about this. The second thing is that the fire seemed to happen at a restaurant during that time, and Shane might be having a birthday party there. If he happened to be in the same building with Shane, then..."

Charlotte didn't say anything else. She immediately walked towards Shane.

However, Avery still did not think that it made sense.

If Shane knew his brother, why did he pretend that he didn't know him and everything about the Hart Family?

Moreover, at that time, his brother was about 15 years old. Why did he come to Brine alone?

Charlotte walked over to Rick and said, "Rick."

Rick was talking about economics with Shane. As soon as he saw her coming, he immediately moved aside. "Looking for him?"

"No, I want to ask you, did Shane tell you which point of twelve years old he's at? Such as his birthday or the period after Children's Day and so on."

"He did mention that. Shane said that it would be his birthday in three days. When he heard Avery's name, he even asked us if Avery is related to Augustus. We're all very curious about who Augustus is, but Avery is always talking with you, so we didn't ask."

"Augustus is Avery's brother. He died in a fire on Shane's 12th birthday. It seems like we have a guide now."

"Then, what kind of relationship do they have? This Avery... No, do you think Augustus and Shane are business partners?" Charlotte pondered.

"They were only children. There's no way they were partnering with each other. When I was 15, I had no idea what trade was. I only finished learning all the theories when I was 17." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"What if the two of them are geniuses? Just like... Freddie?"

Rick's eyes found Freddie in the crowd.

He was very young, but he was brainy.

Apart from economics, he even knew a little about political affairs. Even if he was influenced by his family, it was impossible for him to know so much at the age of eight. The only explanation was that he was too smart. After all, he could speak four languages. Even Rick couldn't do that now.

Talent was a scary thing.

"Shane didn't even show that side of him..." Rick massaged his temples and said, "We actually got to know him better after he reverted to 12. Can you believe that Shane knew Augustus back then, but Avery had no idea about that?"

Charlotte's eyes turned cold as she said, "We still have to respect him no matter what. We only know this because we want to help him recover his memories."

Shane, who was on the other side of the room, suddenly stopped playing. He glanced at Charlotte and then lowered his head with a chuckle.

"Daddy, what are you laughing at?" Sheryl asked innocently.

"I'm kind of happy." Shane stretched his arms and legs as he asked, "Your mom... is she very good to us?"

"That's for sure. However, mommy was very angry with you before, and she even ran away from home. Daddy, now that you've turned into a 12-year-old, I'm really afraid that mommy will throw us away and leave us alone."

Ran away from home?

Shane was deep in thought. Based on Charlotte's character, she shouldn't have done such a thing.

Coupled with what she had just told Rick, he had every reason to suspect that he wasn't always honest with the people around him after he grew up.

"I'm going to investigate the matter about Augustus. Please help me keep an eye on him and the children," said Charlotte.

"No worries."

"One more thing, Rick. If it's possible, you should settle down with Kendall as soon as possible and then start planning for your trip. We might have to speed up our amalgamation. With Shane being like this... I'm afraid that someone might try to find a chance to ruin it."

"I was just thinking about that. We also have to see what Nathan, Avery, and Braden think. But I don't think they will stay."

"Let me do it. You all can decide on your own."

"I didn't expect that in the end, the core of all our dreams is actually..." Rick frowned, his heart aching.

Charlotte laughed and said, "It's not strange. I don't have any opinions about dreams, love, or family. What I want is to see people around me happy. I don't have any demands. Since both of you have something that you want, I might as well support you, am I right?"

"I'm too tired."

"Then, should I allow this property to fall into the hands of others like you all did? It's okay if it's a man of ambition, but what if it's a bad person?"

Rick was silent.

Charlotte patted him on the shoulder and said, "I enjoy doing this. Didn't I come back in the end after running away from Shane? Although I didn't contact you, the company and Sheryl are more

important in my heart. It's not so bad for me to take care of the company and the child in the future. As for Shane..."

She wanted him to play the piano.

She wanted to make Shane play the piano no matter what.

Rick didn't say anything else and watched Charlotte leave.

"Hey."

Kendall walked closer to him and said with an unhappy face, "Do you have to be so affectionate when you look at Charlotte? Don't try to steal Shane's wife when you see him like this. What about me? I'm all alone."

"Why would I? I have you already." Rick smiled and pulled her into his arms. "I just think that it must be hard for her."
