Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 385

In the end, Zoe didn't change her clothes. After all, Peter didn't mind and she thought she looked good. After handling the matter, she could go on a date with Peter. It was nice to dress up, and she wore a thin coat.

This way, it was not too revealing, and she could maintain the style she was going for.

On the way.

Peter sat in the back seat with a laptop and frowned. "This guy is really sick. He claimed that the country was behind the cover-up because Mrs. Fuller Senior had access to some top secret. How could such a fool live so long? Why did he come up with a conspiracy theory instead of studying?"

"We are making peace with each other. Don't pick a fight with him because of this," Zoe reminded him.

"Don't worry, when have I dropped the ball when it comes to handling matters for Mr. Fuller?" Peter's fingers drummed against the laptop. "But I suspect that this matter will not be settled easily. Where did you plan to meet up with him?"

"It's in a cafe downtown. Don't worry, the place was chosen by me, and I've called someone in advance." Zoe said after a pause, "Mr. Fuller gave me temporary authority. I don't need to worry about security. We need to determine his motive and if this is connected to Christopher."

"Okay, I understand."

Soon, the car arrived at the coffee shop downtown.

Zoe parked the car and got out with Peter. They pushed the door open and the aroma of coffee wafted past them.

Peter took the photo of the person they were supposed to meet and scanned the room. Finally, he noticed a man wearing a hat in a corner. He looked like he was in his early twenties. His face was very pale and he looked tired.

"Is it him?" Zoe was unsure. The man in the photo looked vibrant, and the one in front of her was too gloomy.

"It's him." Peter nodded. "That's him."

Zoe looked at the photo and then at the man again. She shook her head and said, "They don't look alike."

"If you do what he does for a living, you'll age horrendously, too." Peter despised this kind of person the most, misusing his skills and disrupting society.

A shameless person.

They stood in front of the man and slid the photo to him. "Who told you to do this?"

"Give me 100,000 dollars and I'll delete the post immediately." The man didn't raise his head or look at the photo. He took out a USB flash drive. "You can use this flash drive and remove all the posts in an instant."

Peter frowned in disgust. He had thought of 10,000 possibilities why someone would do this, but he had never expected the reason to be money.

Describing him as disgusting was a compliment.

Peter was afraid there would be a virus embedded in the flash drive, so he took out a spare laptop and examined it for malware. After finding nothing, he pulled out the flash drive and switched back to his original laptop. The post was taken down in an instant.

After Peter released the document that was prepared by him, he tossed the man a cheque written for 100,000 dollars and said, "Take it and leave."

The man took the cheque and lowered his hat, disappearing from the coffee shop.

"Is it worth doing this for 100,000 dollars?" Zoe looked at his retreating back and did not know what to say for a moment.

"One hundred thousand dollars is nothing to us, and it's chump change for Mr. Fuller and Ms. Emerson. However, for ordinary people, one hundred thousand could be a year's salary. Yet he made that amount in one day with his skillset. Why wouldn't he do it?"

He had a point.

Zoe nodded thoughtfully.

They left the coffee shop and returned to the hotel.

After reporting to Shane, Peter asked in a low voice, "Mr. Fuller, should we follow this person?"

"No need."

"What if..."

"Christopher wouldn't instruct someone to extort me for just a mere sum of 100,000 dollars. In his opinion, it would be only a success if he could hurt me most." Shane rubbed his temples, exhaustion lined his forehead.

Peter sighed. He opened his mouth to offer words of comfort to him, but did Mr. Fuller really need sympathy from him?

Peter stood silently in front of him.

At this very moment.

In the room.
