Charlotte and the little girl chatted outside for a while. Suddenly, a worker came over and knelt down in front of her without a word.
Both Charlotte and the little girl were scared by his actions. She immediately hid behind Charlotte and grabbed her sleeves. "Ms. Emerson..."
"Sir, what can I do for you?" Charlotte was very calm as she looked at the worker.
"My brother died. In that car. I went to the police station and asked. They said that it was an accident but I saw the tires of the car. There were bullet holes in them!"
Trace of bullet holes.
Charlotte's eyes widened.
"Ms. Emerson, I'm not asking you of anything but weren't Mr. Fuller and his assistant in the car? That guy must be aiming for Mr. Fuller..."
Charlotte was silent for a long time before sighing helplessly. She reached out and tried to help him out but the man refused so she could only withdraw her hand. She held the little girl's hand and said, "Let's go."
The workers reluctantly took a step forward but in the end, his eyes darkened and he didn't try to stop them any further.
"Ms. Emerson, are we going to ignore him?"
"There's nothing we can do about him," Charlotte replied.
The little girl turned around to look at the man but finally she left with Charlotte.
However, even though that was the case, Charlotte did not forget about this matter. She immediately told Shane to see how he would handle and react to it.
But Shane just said, "Wait."
Again?
What were they waiting for?
Charlotte was completely at a loss.
Two days passed in a blink of an eye. Peter was already able to get out of bed. He could walk but half of his eye was still swollen. Even so, the first thing he did was pick up his computer and work on the sofa.
Squeak-
Charlotte pushed open the door with a document in her hand. "Peter."
"I'm here." Peter looked up at her.
One half of his eye was swollen while the other half of his eye was bright and clear. Charlotte covered her mouth and laughed, "You look quite handsome like this."
Peter scratched the back of her head and said, "Miss Charlotte, stop making fun of me. What can I do for you?"
"This." Charlotte placed the document in front of him. "Help me upload this onto the orphanage website. I have to go to the police station with Shane right now so I can only ask for you and Zoe's help."
"Okay, don't worry." Peter took it.
The information said that the girl's name was... None?
Peter was stunned. "Doesn't she have a name?"
Charlotte shook her head. "The workers only said that they usually call her Olive, and the 'father' who brought her here and she herself also said so. I've asked for her real name but she said it was in the past. It's good, the adoptive parents can name her anything they want."
"That's convenient." That was all Peter could say.
A girl who was willing to give up her name. It seemed like her past life must be an unhappy one.
Soon, Charlotte and Shane arrived at the police station. After giving their statements and seeing the evidence, an officer wearing a black jacket brought the both of them into a private room.
"Someone tried to release this news online but I stopped it. I want to ask... Was it your idea or..." "It's none of my business," Shane said bluntly.
The officer breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'm relieved. I'll ask them to block all related posts now."
Shane nodded, but his eyes fell on one piece of evidence. "Were the aspergillus fungus natural or planted by someone else?"
"Mr. Fuller, aspergillus requires very harsh conditions to grow. Furthermore, if there were aspergillus present in the upstream, people downstream would've died a long time ago," the official said thoughtfully without giving a clear answer.
"Okay."
"Also, our forensic experts confirmed one of the people in the car had a knife. It was likely he tried to kill you but failed."
There were two groups of people after him?
