Chapter 371


    "How?" Rick was really curious about it. After all, they were in the same circles, but he had never


    heard of these rumors. Of course, he was more curious about how Peter knew about it.


    "Because the woman liked your new CEO. That woman happens to be the one that Bugatti likes.


    What a coincidence. Then Bugatti took away your new CEO''s woman. As for her, if I remember


    correctly, she is staying by your CEO''s side now because she has nowhere else to go. Her family


    can''t take care of her either. Your CEO found her pitiful so..." Peter paused for a while and didn''t


    continue.


    After all, he could notment on this kind of thing, so it was better not to say anything further. As


    for all this romance stuff, it seemed to have nothing to do with this topic. In this matter, the woman


    was the biggest victim.


    She had no choice but to be strung about by others. At the same time, she fell in love with someone


    she shouldn''t. It was a pity.


    "It''s quite interesting, but the woman Bugatti likes..." Rick couldn''t imagine what the woman looked


    like. "I''ll ask Derek if I can go to his house someday. We can meet the woman. Since we found out


    about this, let''s see if I can help them out."


    "I don''t think you should get involved. It''s true that this woman is pitiful, but you don''t need to help


    her. It''s no problem that she doesn''t like Bugatti, but she''s in love with a man who is engaged, and


    she even broke them up. This kind of thing is too disgusting." Peter really didn''t like this kind of


    thing.


    "Although that''s the case, liking someone isn''t something that can be controlled. What''s more, don''t


    you think that the woman doesn''t know who Bugatti is?"


    Peter was stunned. After a moment of silence, he shrugged his shoulders. "If you want to go, I can''t


    stop you. I''m just the messenger."


    "Peter, that''s not what Rick meant. He wants to say that if this woman did it on purpose, then she''s


    a scheming b*tch. No matter what happens, she asked for it. But if she''s innocent, Derek will very


    likely..."


    Kendall couldn''t stand other people misunderstanding Rick, so she helped Rick exin. Moreover,


    she thought from the woman''s perspective. If Derek held a grudge about this and thought of things


    like Peter did, then the woman''s situation was actually very dangerous.


    Only then did Peter understand Rick''s meaning. He immediately said, "If you need anything, please


    call me. After all, it''s someone''s life."


    "It will be enough for Rick and I to go together. If there is anything up with her, we will bring her over.


    Derek came here from abroad. Maybe there is nowhere else for him to go."


    Everyone was silent. After all, Derek''s opponent was Bugatti. It was no surprise that such a


    powerful person would do anything he could.


    On the other end.


    Charlotte had already finished her chat with Avery and Olive. However, Mrs. Fuller Senior and


    Sheryl felt that if they went out together this time, it would definitely not be convenient for them to


    bring the elders with them. Thus, Mrs. Fuller Senior would get a few friends of hers and go on their


    own vacation.


    Things were settled. As soon as she hung up the phone and put it into her pocket, she was caught


    in Shane''s embrace.


    "Shane..." she called his name softly.


    He lowered his head, pressed his lips on hers, and ced his hand on her lower back.


    Charlotte widened her eyes and struggled to stop him. "They are just outside. What are you doing?"


    "What''s wrong?"


    He kissed her even more deeply.


    Charlotte didn''t dare to make a sound. She leaned against the wall and almost melted into the kiss.


    She kept looking out to make sure that no one saw them. Only then was she relieved. She didn''t


    want to be caught by her friends as she kissed Shane. If that happened, she would beughed at


    for a lifetime. Forget about Zoe, if Kendall saw her, then she would think of Shane every time she


    saw Charlotte, not Sheryl anymore.

    Just as Charlotte was about to move her hand away, she realized that Shane''s hand had already


    slipped past her clothes and was touching her skin directly.


    "Shane, what''s wrong with you today?" She red at him.


    "It''s payment."


    "But don''t ask for it here!"


    "Oh? Okay."


    Shane loosened his grip and walked out.


    Before Charlotte could react, he had already disappeared. She stood in the same ce for several


    minutes before she suddenly realized that she had wanted to refuse the "payment", but then she


    had stupidly paid it!


    Shane was indeed a despicable businessman. He even manipted her in this way. She was so


    unlucky to know him!


    The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she got. She really wanted to throw herself into


    the Mustard River and cut off all ties with Shane. She returned to the group with mixed feelings.


    Right at that time, they were talking about their vacation. She listened to them without saying


    anything.


    While the group chatted, they also finished reading the documents.


    Rick sighed. "If wee back again after leaving this ce, Brine might have gone through a huge


    change."


    Indeed, no matter who was behind this, and no matter what their ns were, Olive might be the key


    to all this. This feeling of being shrouded in a conspiracy made everyone feel particrly


    ufortable.


    "Or is there a possibility that they want to use the move of killing Olive to kill Avery, so that we can


    completely divert the direction of the investigation?"


    It was Kendall who said this.


    After Rick finished reading the document, she had been reading it, so it was normal for her to make


    a conclusion at this time. However, the conclusion she made was full of conspiracy, which increased


    the number of suspects in an instant.


    "Even though I don''t necessarily agree with this, it can still be possible." Peter scratched his head.


    "It''s within the realm of possibility." However, Charlotte felt that it wasn''t impossible as long as the


    enemy was meticulous enough, although there was no need.


    To deal with Olive and to deal with Avery was basically the same thing. If the perpetrator only


    wanted to divert their attention, then the only possibility was that the person who attacked them was


    either Christopher or the Stevens family. However, whether it was the Christopher or the Stevens


    family, they would not set bombs on the street like fools.


    On one hand, it was because they were above all this. On the other hand, once the truth was found


    out, they would lose their reputation, which would affect the family''s future.


    Therefore, it didn''t matter if the target was Olive or Avery, the result was pretty much the same to


    them.


    After they confirmed the time and ce to meet up for the trip, they left.


    Kendall followed Rick out and said softly, "Rick, did I say something wrong just now?" "No, but no


    matter how we deal with Olive and Avery, the direction of the investigation is almost the same. You


    just don''t know the underlying influences."


    "Oh, I see..." She had indeed said the wrong thing.


    Kendall lowered her head and dared not to speak again.


    Rick nced at her and touched her head. "What do you want for dinner?"


    Kendall shook her head. "Let''s go home to eat. There is still food at home. If we don''t finish eating,


    the chef will throw them out again. It''s too wasteful."


    "We can keep them in the fridge until lunch tomorrow. Since we''re out, let''s go on a date. What do


    you think?"


    A date?


    Was Rick talking about a date?


    Kendall''s eyes suddenly lit up. She looked at him expectantly. "If we go on a date, can I hold hands


    with you?"
