Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 341

Kendall knew her body very well. She also knew that she could get up. If her body wasn't in pain, she could get up. Moreover, it was Rick who would be drinking with Avery, not her. There wasn't a big difference between sitting there or lying on the hospital bed.

So she nodded when Rick asked her. When they arrived at Avery's house, they realized that there were a lot of people there.

Charlotte and Shane were both wearing earphones. One was sleeping with earphones, while the other was monitoring the foreign stock market. Because of the time difference, Shane would normally look at foreign stocks at night.

If he wanted to get the latest information, the best way was to stay up late. Otherwise, everything would have been outdated when he woke up the next morning.

Peter and Zoe were sitting opposite them. Rick and Kendall had seen the two of them before, but there was one man that Rick hadn't.

"This is..."

"A new staff I recruited. He was having dinner with me, so I figured I would bring him over," Peter explained.

Rick nodded. He looked around for a while and asked, "I don't see Avery. Where is he?"

"He went to the wine cellar to get some wine," Peter explained again and paused. "He seems to be in a terrible mood today. I tried to find out why but realized that Avery had deleted all the information about him in Brine before I did, so..."

Rick glanced at Kendall, who was next to him. If he guessed right, the reason Avery asked him to bring Kendall here when there were so many people around him was probably because of something related to Kendall's father or brother.

Moments later.

Avery walked out of the basement. He put the sparkling wine on the coffee table. By using one of his magic tricks, he took out a lemon from nowhere. Then, he picked up a knife and carefully cut the lemon. His eyes on the lemon as if it were a piece of treasure. Other than Rick, Kendall could also notice that he was behaving out of character.

Which sound person would cut a lemon until their eyes turned red? It wasn't even an onion.

Rick and Kendall sat down on the sofa. He placed a thermos cup in her hands and said, "You can't drink alcohol. Drink some water. I'll ask Avery for it."

"Okay."

Kendall nodded obediently.

Rick walked to Avery's side and patted him on the shoulder. "What's wrong with you?"

Avery turned around and was about to push him away, but he didn't realize that he was holding a knife. Rick's pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately stepped back. His finger blocked the knife as he stepped back once again.

The knife created a wound on his finger.

"Mr. Jane!"

Zoe immediately stood up.

This incident caused Shane's eyes to shift to the two of them. Charlotte, who was sleeping, opened her eyes too.

For a moment, the whole living room was quiet.

"I'm sorry." Avery continued to cut the lemon.

Rick knew that he wouldn't get an answer if he kept asking Avery now. He got up, casually took a napkin to wipe his finger, and then chose to sit beside Shane.

Shane took off his earphones and said, "We found out something today. Caleb did something to Irena that year..." "Do you have any evidence?" "There's a witness." Shane paused and added, "He even thrashed the witness."

Charlotte, on the other side, yawned and took off her earphones at the same time. "And you all are probably familiar with the witness. It's Abril Medina. In order to make her speak, we only gave her a hard time. We didn't threaten her to death."

Kendall also looked up all of a sudden. "What?"

"During that time, your brother kidnapped more than one woman and locked them up in a house. And then..." Charlotte didn't finish her sentence.

What could a young and strong man do by locking up so many women? What else could he do?

If it was not for some messed- up scientific experiment, it could only be a sex dungeon.

That was why...

Irena and Avery's younger sister couldn't endure the trauma and committed suicide.

"That beast!" Rick gnashed his teeth in anger.

"How could my brother... No, that's exactly what he would do." Kendall didn't even try to explain for his brother.

Before she came to Brine and was still at home, her brother and father had treated her very well. They always bought her delicious food and drinks. But now, she realized that they treated her so well only because they wanted to exploit her in the future.
