Hearing her voice, Avery knew that something was wrong. He immediately reasoned, "He may be sent by Shane to protect you. After all, a lot of things have happened recently. He is afraid for you and the children's safety. If you still need other information, I can acquire it for you."
"Avery, don't be a bad person. I will deal with this matter myself. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'll try to be as levelheaded as possible."
"It's not about that. We can't figure Shane out most of the time, but it doesn't mean we don't know if he's in the wrong."
"I know what you mean, but I still want to contradict it. Avery, if this was an act that no one in the world approves of, even if it was correct, would people have recorded this act and the person who has done it in the annals of history?" Avery smiled bitterly and said, "You're wrong. Who would do something that's not accepted by everyone?"
"Let's narrow this down. If Shane, among all of us, did something that we didn't approve of, would you still say that on behalf of him?" "You should believe that he loves you." "I believe it. At the same time, I, too, believe that I love myself more."
Charlotte was not wrong. After all, if Shane had sent someone to take pictures of him, Avery would not be happy. Therefore, he stayed silent and did not try to persuade Charlotte.
After a while, Charlotte demanded, "Don't tell anyone else about this."
"I won't."
"I'm hanging up."
"Wait a minute, Charlotte. If you feel wronged, don't keep it to yourself. You can still find someone else to talk about it."
Charlotte hung up without acknowledging him. Who could she go to? Rick and Kendall were obviously out of the question. Peter and Zoe both worked for Shane. Even if their relationship was good, it was meaningless to talk about personal issues. Anne and Braden? Anne would berate Shane with her, but it wouldn't solve the problem. Braden was not even worth mentioning.
Therefore, she had no one to turn to.
Charlotte finished the food she ordered and wandered around before returning to the hotel.
Shane was reading something on his computer in the room, which seemed to be some old documents. He enjoyed reading these literature very much.
She walked over and snuck a peek, but did not ask him about it. Even if he explained, she would not understand a thing.
"You're back?" Shane looked up at her.
"Yes." She nodded.
"Where did you go?"
"I strolled around for a while. I'm taking Sheryl and Olive out again tomorrow."
Shane nodded. He did not show any hint of suspicion. He pointed to his computer and said, "Come here."
Only then did Charlotte walk over and sit beside him. She looked at his computer, which was filled with characters that she didn't recognize. She tilted her head and looked at them for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what it was. "What are these?"
"An ancient Roman transportation strategy."
"Is it still relevant?"
"Yes."
"Then isn't my transportation strategy the same as before? It's from several thousand years ago, though." Charlotte frowned.
Shane observed, "The wisdom of human beings is limited. Now everyone is standing on the shoulders of giants and enjoying the fruits of our predecessors' labor. Unless there is a massive advancement in science and technology, ancient ways will continue to be relevant."
Charlotte nodded her head without fully understanding.
Although she knew that the transportation routines had been popular since ancient times, she didn't expect them to still be functional now.
Shane explained the transportation routines to her in great detail.
Just as he was about to finish, Charlotte's phone rang. She picked it up and answered, "Hello?"
