Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 368

"How can I trust you?"

"Give me your bank account number."

In some doubt, Christopher sent an account she rarely used. In a flash, the person transferred three million dollars to him. At the same time, he received another email. "This is a deposit. When it's done, I will give you ten times the money and additional investment. As for my identity, if you want to investigate, it's easy to find it through bank transactions. Of course, you don't need to tell me what you found even if you find it. It's meaningless."

Christopher immediately sent the news to his men and waited for the result.

Several minutes later, his men sent back some information. The money came from an overseas account belonging to a man named Caleb Stevens.

Christopher found out a lot. He knew that Charlotte had a suitor called Rick. He also knew that she and Rick had been on the verge of getting engaged. He even knew that Rick now had a girlfriend named Kendall. Furthermore, Kendall was Caleb's younger sister, the child of Ryland's

brother.

It seemed that the Stevens family wanted him to deal with Zoe. What was the relationship between the Stevens family and Zoe?

Christopher asked his men to continue to investigate and stipulated that he wanted it in his mailbox tomorrow morning.

After he finished, Christopher turned off his computer and went to lie down on his bed.

There were actually several strands of white hair in his head of pitch-black hair. There weren't many, but they were rather eye-catching.

He had never believed in the exaggerated descriptions in literature, such as getting white hair overnight. But now, lying in bed, he had an inkling of what it would feel like.

It was strange that his purpose was not to get this life-saving money, but to find a way to save Zoe.

The next day.

When Charlotte and Shane arrived at the office, Zoe immediately told them about the phone call she had received from Christopher yesterday. After all, she didn't understand what he meant.

"Christopher still has a bit of a conscience." Charlotte shook her head helplessly. "He can still tell you this even under those circumstances. It means that he didn't completely forget how good you treated him previously."

"I don't even know what I have done for him." Zoe was impatient.

She was an honest person. While she had liked Christopher, it was not necessarily true that she had done anything for him. All that she did for Christopher could also be seen as her doing it for Shane. After all, she had hidden her feelings back then and had been afraid of being discovered.

"However, what's worth thinking about is, who would get Christopher to deal with you?" Charlotte's expression was serious.

"The Stevens family."

Shane said slowly while reading his book.

Charlotte turned her head to look at him. "Why is it the Stevens family?"

"They have the money and motive. Although they have talked about cooperating with Braden, they're making other plans too. It is consistent with the usual way they do things." Shane turned a page. "As for the reason for dealing with Zoe, it should be because they want to get rid of something they can't have."

"Is it because of Irena? Irena and Avery were also dating back then. Didn't he still make a move?"

"Irena didn't live with Avery."

Shane's meaningful words made Charlotte give up on refuting him. Although it was not difficult to tell that Peter and Zoe had not reached an intimate stage, it was a fact that the two of them were living together.

Charlotte thought for a while and finally said, "Why don't you and Peter work from home? I'll find someone new to join the company as soon as possible. Once this thing with the Stevens family is over, you can come back to work. It won't be too long. It might take at most one to three months."

"I can live with this arrangement, but I don't know whether Christopher..."

"Since he told you, there are two possibilities. The first is that he refuses to cooperate with the Stevens family to protect you. The second is that he agrees to cooperate with the Stevens family and tries to kill you and Peter. But no matter which one it is, you shouldn't leave the house."

Zoe seemed to understand this, so she nodded. She said gratefully, "Ms. Emerson, thank you."
