My Second Husband novel Chapter 614

In the detention room.

Charlie sat inside, staring blankly and in confusion at the red marks on his hand.

After leaving it for a night without treatment, the marks had already started to bruise and turn purplish-blue.

Just when he was deep in his thoughts, the door opened and Amos strode in.

"Charlie!"

"Sir!" Charlie hurriedly stood up with a hint of joy in his eyes. But very quickly, that trace of happiness turned into raw guilt.

"I'm sorry, sir. I have committed a grave mistake. Please punish me!"

Amos didn't say a word and sat down opposite Charlie.

"I want to know what happened."

Charlie had followed him for many years, and Amos knew him very well. His performance was the most outstanding in the organization since the very beginning.

Later on, he was promoted and followed beside Amos for many years. He was very careful and had never made any huge mistakes.

What happened this time was too unexpected.

Charlie took a deep breath and seemed to have made up his mind.

"Sir, if I were to say that I was framed, would you believe me?"

Without hesitation, Amos nodded and said, "I believe you."

Charlie immediately glanced at Amos with gratitude. This was the person he had sworn to follow for his entire life. He had indeed made the correct decision in the first place.

With that being said, Charlie stretched his hand out, exposing the purple mark on the back of his hand.

"Things were so hasty yesterday that I didn't notice that the back of my hand was hit by something. Now that everything was over, I realized that something was wrong. At that time, I saw that they were about to fight, and my first thought was to protect Miss Granger and Mr. Holt!"

Amos pondered for a moment and replied, "I understand. I will ask someone to investigate..."

Charlie was taken aback and said, "Sir, it's dangerous. I don't have any enemies since I've been staying in the organization since young. The person who did this must be coming for you. Don't be impulsive."

"It's alright, I have my own plans. However, I may need to trouble you for some time..."

"I'll be fine!"

"Okay!"

Amos got up and patted Charlie on the shoulder, then turned around and left. Harley came quickly to greet him once he was outside.

"Amos, what happened?"

"Hah..." Amos chuckled, "Do you believe that Charlie will do such a thing?"

"Of course I don't believe it!" Harley shook his head and frowned, "Charlie has always been quite careful and calm whenever he's given a mission. Unless you really wanted him to kill Tyler, then it's impossible..."

"I don't believe it either! However, the party involved did it very discreetly. We don't have evidence to prove Charlie's innocence for now."

Harley frowned, "Isn't it obvious? It must be someone from the Nolan family. At that time, the scene was so chaotic, and only the people from the Nolan family had a chance to sabotage us!"

Amos agreed, "The Nolan family is at a dead end, so they must have wanted to drag us down as well..."

"Fabian is a b*stard!" Harley gritted his teeth and cursed, "He'd better not fall into my hands, or I won't let him go!"

Amos was quiet. He was worried about Eudora. If the Nolan family was already plotting against him, would Eudora be next?

Thinking of this, he waved to Harley and said, "I'll leave first!"

It was late by the time he arrived home. Amos went to the Holt manor first, but it was still the same as it was in the morning.

It was extraordinarily lonely in the dark of the night.

The courtyard was also silent and desolate. There was no trace of the shadow of the person he wanted to see.

After a while, Amos drove back.

Sugar Bun had already fallen asleep, but Juju was still on the sofa, rubbing her eyes to keep herself awake. Before Amos walked over, he heard Wesley consoling her in a soft voice.

'Go to bed first. Your dad will be back soon." Juju shook her head stubbornly, "No, I want to wait for Daddy to come back."
