Chapter 456


    Charlotte suspected there was something wrong with her ears. Her movements ckened as she


    removed her coat. She asked in disbelief, "What did you say? Who turned himself in?"

    "Christopher," Avery repeated. "He went to the police station and turned himself in. Yesterday when


    I saw Raina, I wanted to pin everything on him to save Shane. I didn''t expect that he would make


    the first move and turn himself in. I really don''t understand. What is his motive?"


    "I happen to have time tomorrow."


    "Well, let''s go and visit him together?"


    "Where is Shane?"


    "I told him the news, but he gave me no reaction. When this matter is over, you cane over to


    see him. Otherwise, I am afraid that something will go wrong if this continues."


    "Got it." Seeing Shane so disinterested in this new development, Charlotte started to have qualms


    about seeing him.


    Despite not knowing much about the past Shane, she was familiar with him. However, that version


    of Shane whom she was familiar with would never gather all the Fuller family members and set


    them on fire. She was afraid to see a cruel Shane who waspletely different from the one in her


    memories.


    Avery said, "He is quite strange recently. He either eats and sleeps or swipes on his phone — a


    complete couch potato. But he has been working so hard for many years. It''s natural for him to take


    a long vacation. So don''t be horrified, no one else in this world can pull Shane out of this state


    except you."


    "He''s not my shit, why should I drag him out?" Charlotte seethed. She evenughed coldly and


    said, "No matter what, I don''t want to see him for the time being. Let''s settle the matter with


    Christopher first. Also, I''ve been very busy recently."


    "Okay, I got it."


    Avery and Charlotte continued discussing business matters. They didn''t hang up until they ran out


    of topics. The critter next to Avery couldn''t wait any longer. She reached out to tug at his clothes


    and asked, "Uncle Avery, what did my mommy say? When will she and Daddye to see me?"


    "Your mommy..." Avery sighed, lifted her up, and positioned her on top of his shoulders. "They may


    not be able toe in the meantime. Don''t you have fun with Olive and Freddie? There''s no need


    to see Mommy. Think about it, now that your Daddy is ill and I have to take care of him, and Uncle


    Rick is no longer here, everything falls on your Mommy''s shoulders. She is very busy. Didn''t she


    alwayse to apany you when she was free?"


    "I am afraid that Mommy will leave me and Daddy again." Sheryl lowered her head, feeling


    aggrieved.


    "Don''t worry, it won''t happen." Avery gently patted her head. "You have to believe in your Mommy


    and Daddy."


    "Okay."


    After coaxing the child to sleep, Avery let out a long sigh.


    Sheryl didn''t have a father before. Now that he was back in her life, her mom was absent. She didn''t


    have a normal childhood. Who knew what kind of person she would turn out to be in the future?


    The next day.


    Charlotte and Avery met up in front of the police station and was greeted by Karsen, the Deputy


    Director of the police station.


    "Mr. Bradsaw, it''s been a while." Avery extended his hand to shake his hand. "I''m Avery, this is


    Charlotte." "I''ve heard a lot about you two."


    "We''re here for Christopher."


    "I know, because it is a critical period, it''s the prisoner''s choice to receive or decline visitors. We


    have informed Christopher and he is eager for your visit on one request." Karsen led them into the


    police station.


    "What request?" Charlotte asked.


    "He said he wanted to eat lychees. As long as you two can produce lychees, he will give the go-


    ahead," Karsen replied.


    "Lychees? It''s off-season now, where can we get them?" Avery pulled up the corners of his mouth.


    "Forget it, I''ll call someone to send it over. Never mind lychees, if he wants the crap of Queen


    Bloody Mary. I''ll make it happen."


    Charlotte did not say a word.


    The analogy was repugnant.


    Avery stepped away to make a phone call. Karsen came to Charlotte''s side and said, "Miss


    Charlotte, I heard that your rtionship with Shane was unique. What''s your rtionship status


    now?"


    "He''s my fiance," Charlotte answered. "But his health hasn''t been very good recently, so he is


    resting at home. Do you have anything to say to him? I can convey a message or bring him for a


    visit next time. After all, you know that this matter regarding Christopher is rted to the Fuller


    family."


    Karsenughed. "That''s great to hear. It doesn''t matter whether I meet him or not. After all, his


    resources and connections are in your hands. I''m just worried that Mr. Fuller might be displeased


    with today''s oue."


    "You have nothing to worry about. I speak for him but he doesn''t speak for me," Charlotte assured


    with a smile. "From the day he handed over the reins to me, he should have expected this to


    happen."


    "Yeah, many people don''t understand why he entrusted it to you. But it seems that his decision was


    not a poor one."


    Avery came back in the middle of their conversation. He slid the phone in his pocket and huffed, "I


    bought the lychees. It''ll take three hours to transport them. Well have to see Christopher first, then


    eat the lycheester."


    "I''ll ask for the prisoner''s permission. Please wait a moment." Karsen took out his walkie-talkie and


    spoke to the person on the other end, "Ask him. Yes, the lychees will arrive three hourster. Yes.


    Okay. Please follow me."


    Karsen ushered Charlotte and Avery to a huge ss window. He pointed at two doors behind him


    and exined, "In a while, the prisoner wille out of that door. Use the phone in front of you to


    talk to him. The entire conversation is confidential and will not be recorded. Under normal


    circumstances, it is necessary to record it. However, it''s pointless in your case."


    Charlotte said, "Thank you."


    "Please do as you wish."


    After Karsen and his men took their leave, Christopher came out in a short time.


    Christopher sat down behind the ss. He looked at Charlotte and Avery with a faint smile. "You


    didn''t expect me to turn myself in, did you?"


    Charlotte gazed at him. After a long while, her fingers touched the ss pane. "Why are you doing


    this? I would rather you sit here for revenge than to conspire with Shane."


    "Do you feel wronged for me?" Christopher blinked andughed. "I didn''t expect you to feel that for


    me. Yes, I should feel aggrieved. But do you know, I don''t feel that way at all because my brother


    and I killed our enemies. As long as they die, it doesn''t matter what happens to me. And death isn''t


    necessarily my fate. I just set the fire, I didn''t know they would be inside."


    "You didn''t know they were inside? How do you exin the invitations?" Avery frowned.


    Christopher burst outughing. "I had nothing to do with the invitations. There are too many plot


    twists that you don''t know about. Shane can tell you all about it in the future. You can ask me


    anything rted to me, though."


    "I just want to know if you''ll be sentenced to death." Charlotte stared deeply at him.


    Death penalty?


    Christopher shook his head and said, "First of all, I hurt them identally. Secondly, I attempted


    suicide in the past. Thirdly, I was officially diagnosed with mental illness. At most, I will be locked up


    in a psychiatric hospital."


    However...
