Chapter 441


    Charlotte continued to look through herputer for clues. Apart from the diagram, Shane also had


    a document saved. When she opened it and looked through it, she noticed that there were two


    different writing styles in it as well. She was familiar with one of them, the other style was more


    immature and spiteful. It was a style filled with maliciousness.


    She could not believe that Shane, a twelve-year-old, would write something like that. His anger was


    tinged with murderous intent by the looks of it.


    When she read the more familiar writing style, she found that the tone it had taken was rtively


    mild. There was no mention of killing Augustus, or crippling him.


    However, if Shane already knew that Augustus was already dead, why did he still continue to write


    this?


    His n had already seeded after all, so why didn''t he delete the things he wrote when he was


    twelve?


    Just as Charlotte contemted, the door was suddenly opened. Frightened, she hurriedly closed all


    the tabs on herputer and quickly opened up her browser and looked through thetest news


    reports.


    "Why did you leave me alone with Avery?" Shane walked to her side and sat down. He reached out


    and put his arm around her shoulder and leaned on it. He looked exhausted. After that, he closed


    his eyes and Charlotte could see ayer of sweat had formed on his forehead. The tip of his nose


    was covered with it as well.


    Charlotte took out a piece of tissue and wiped his face for him. She said, "Isn''t it fun to y with


    other children? Don''t forget, you''re only twelve now."


    "You left me alone just so you can look at the news?" Shane asked with his eyes half-closed as he


    looked at herputer screen.


    "What''s wrong?" She asked nonchntly.


    "Do you think the news is more important than me?" As he spoke, he leaned into her as he held her


    in his arms. However, this movement made him catch a glimpse at some of the unclosed tabs on


    Charlotte''sputer. His gaze suddenly turned cold.


    However, Charlotte did not notice this change. She hooked her arms around his neck and raised


    her eyebrows as she looked at him. "Did Avery let you run around with the others just now? Once


    you''ve recovered your memories, you''ll be surprised by how different it is to y with them as an


    adult."


    Shane remained silent.


    "What''s wrong?" She asked suspiciously.


    Shane didn''t answer her, merely leaned over and kissed her.


    He was being very aggressive and had torn off Charlotte''s clothes in no time. Unable to withstand


    his heavy weight on her, she reached out her hand and pressed it against his chest. "Shane, you''re


    hurting me. Go gentler please..."


    The man ignored her and continued to assault her with kisses.


    After a long while, Shane finally loosened his grip on her just as she was about to pass out. Sheid


    on the bed with closed eyes and was so tired that she did not want to move. Shane left hickeys all


    over her body.


    She pulled up the quilt to cover her body before ring at the man sitting at his desk. "Shane,


    what''s wrong with you today?"


    "You''ve seen the diagram, haven''t you?"


    Charlotte''s heart skipped a beat and she felt herself go cold. However, she quickly came back to her


    senses and asked, "What diagram?"


    "Augustus."


    "I don''t know what you''re talking about."


    "You left some of the tabs unclosed, you know?" Shane dered impassively. "You were looking


    through them just now, weren''t you?"


    Charlotte didn''t want to tantly lie, but she didn''t intend to admit to Shane''s usation either. She


    merely stayed silent and curled up in bed.


    Seeing that she was not denying it, Shane ced theputer in front of him then walked up to


    Charlotte one step at a time. Charlotte backed away fearfully, but her body was still sore from what


    they had done just now so she could not retreat any further. She could only watch as he walked


    closer.


    Shane held her chin and said with disappointment, "Why didn''t you just ask me if you wanted to


    know the truth?"


    "I..." She did not know what to say.


    Shane caressed her cheeks. He had a lot to say to her, but in the end, he found that he couldn''t get


    any words out. Looking at her glowing face, he couldn''t help but get upset.


    Shouldn''t he be the one Charlotte trusted most?


    Why would she choose to work with Avery behind his back to lure him away? Why was she not


    willing to just ask him herself?


    Charlotte was intimidated by his re. She lowered her head and braced herself as she spoke,


    "Avery and I were curious about the thing with Augustus, so he went to dig up some information on


    what exactly triggered everything. Avery spected that the reason why you had mentally returned


    to the age right before your twelfth birthday was to modify your n, so that Augustus wouldn''t die,


    even if he was punished."


    "So, you read my n?"


    "That''s right..."


    "What do you think about it?"


    "I don''t understand it." Charlotte swallowed her saliva and said, "You''ve obviously recovered your


    memories, so why did you stillplete the previous n? Isn''t the issue settled already? Augustus


    is already dead! Even if you devise a near-perfect n right now, you can''t prevent all that has


    already happened, unless you want to..."


    Charlotte''s voice stopped abruptly. She widened her eyes in disbelief, "Hold on, don''t tell me you''re


    nning to..."


    "I''m nning to exact the same n, but aim it at someone else." Shane gave the answer with a


    poker face.


    "Who are you targeting this time?" Charlotte immediately grabbed his shoulders and shook her


    head furiously. "Shane, no matter how much someone has offended you, there are other ways..."


    "Christopher."


    In an instant, Charlotte was rendered speechless.


    If anyone else were to get killed, she would definitely feel pity for them. But if it was Christopher, she


    wouldn''t bat an eye.


    Christopher had done too many horrible things and even killed Mrs. Fuller Senior. She really did


    think that a man like him should just die.


    "Shane, let''s forget about that for a while, alright?" Charlotte hugged his waist tightly. "Just pretend


    you''ve really lost your memories and rx these few days. When the timees, we''ll seek justice


    at court once Christopher is captured, okay?"


    "I don''t disagree that he has to be judged by thew. But before that, I must exact my revenge on


    him." Shane pushed her hand away.


    "Shane!" Tears welled up in Charlotte''s eyes. "There are many ways to punish evil people like him,


    but turning yourself into one of them is simply foolish!"


    "I was never a good person to begin with! There, I''ve said it! Are you disappointed with me now?"


    Charlotte was struck speechless.


    It was impossible for Shane to go on in life anymore without some blood on his hands. Even though


    she had never thought about killing someone, she was responsible for ruining many lives. How


    many people have lost their jobs because of her? How many have gone bankrupt and even died?


    "Shane..." Charlotte whimpered.


    At that point, Shane had already reached the door.


    However, the way Charlotte called out to him was filled with despair and sadness. It was impossible


    for him to take another step forward.


    He sighed and turned back to her.


    Before he could do anything else, she pounced on him and hugged him tightly. "I know you would


    support me if I decided the same thing as well. So, since you''ve decided on this, well, I will support


    you."


    He looked at the woman in his arms with utter fondness.


    "I''ll go anywhere with you, even if that ce is hell."


    "There''s no need for that."


    "Please don''t leave me. I can support you in every way you ask me to. Don''t keep any secrets from


    me anymore. I really don''t want to lose you, okay?"


    Shane didn''t answer.


    Charlotte tilted her head upwards and kissed his lips.


    "After this thing with Christopher is over, I''ll go y the piano as you have always wanted. If you


    want to know anything else, just ask me and I''ll tell you. But before the dilemma is settled, I will not


    tell you anything."


    After that, he pushed her aside and turned to leave.


    The sorrow and pain Charlotte felt in her heart magnified as she stared after Shane''s retreating


    back.


    Sometimes, she really couldn''t understand him.


    A whileter...


    Charlotte took out her phone and made a call.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    The person she was calling picked up fairly quickly.
