Baby, I Found for You an Awesome Daddy

“How can I trust you?”

“Give me your bank account number.”

In some doubt, Christopher sent an account she rarely used. In a flash, the person transferred three million dollars to him. At the same time, he received another email. “This is a deposit. When it’s done, I will give you ten times the money and additional investment. As for my identity, if you want to investigate, it’s easy to find it through bank transactions. Of course, you don’t need to tell me what you found even if you find it. It’s meaningless.”

Christopher immediately sent the news to his men and waited for the result.

Several minutes later, his men sent back some information. The money came from an overseas account belonging to a man named Caleb Stevens.

Christopher found out a lot. He knew that Charlotte had a suitor called Rick. He also knew that she and Rick had been on the verge of getting engaged. He even knew that Rick now had a girlfriend named Kendall. Furthermore, Kendall was Caleb’s younger sister, the child of Ryland’s brother.

It seemed that the Stevens family wanted him to deal with Zoe. What was the relationship between the Stevens family and Zoe?

Christopher asked his men to continue to investigate and stipulated that he wanted it in his mailbox tomorrow morning.

After he finished, Christopher turned off his computer and went to lie down on his bed.

There were actually several strands of white hair in his head of pitch-black hair. There weren’t many, but they were rather eye-catching.

He had never believed in the exaggerated descriptions in literature, such as getting white hair overnight. But now, lying in bed, he had an inkling of what it would feel like.

It was strange that his purpose was not to get this life-saving money, but to find a way to save Zoe.

…

The next day.

When Charlotte and Shane arrived at the office, Zoe immediately told them about the phone call she had received from Christopher yesterday. After all, she didn’t understand what he meant.

“Christopher still has a bit of a conscience.” Charlotte shook her head helplessly. “He can still tell you this even under those circumstances. It means that he didn’t completely forget how good you treated him previously.”

“I don’t even know what I have done for him.” Zoe was impatient.

She was an honest person. While she had liked Christopher, it was not necessarily true that she had done anything for him. All that she did for Christopher could also be seen as her doing it for Shane. After all, she had hidden her feelings back then and had been afraid of being discovered.

“However, what’s worth thinking about is, who would get Christopher to deal with you?” Charlotte’s expression was serious.

“The Stevens family.”

Shane said slowly while reading his book.

Charlotte turned her head to look at him. “Why is it the Stevens family?”

“They have the money and motive. Although they have talked about cooperating with Braden, they’re making other plans too. It is consistent with the usual way they do things.” Shane turned a page. “As for the reason for dealing with Zoe, it should be because they want to get rid of something they can’t have.”

“Is it because of Irena? Irena and Avery were also dating back then. Didn’t he still make a move?”

“Irena didn’t live with Avery.”

Shane’s meaningful words made Charlotte give up on refuting him. Although it was not difficult to tell that Peter and Zoe had not reached an intimate stage, it was a fact that the two of them were living together.

Charlotte thought for a while and finally said, “Why don’t you and Peter work from home? I’ll find someone new to join the company as soon as possible. Once this thing with the Stevens family is over, you can come back to work. It won’t be too long. It might take at most one to three months.”

“I can live with this arrangement, but I don’t know whether Christopher…”

“Since he told you, there are two possibilities. The first is that he refuses to cooperate with the Stevens family to protect you. The second is that he agrees to cooperate with the Stevens family and tries to kill you and Peter. But no matter which one it is, you shouldn’t leave the house.”

Zoe seemed to understand this, so she nodded. She said gratefully, “Ms. Emerson, thank you.”

“Don’t be so polite with me. You and Peter go back first, let Cole send you back. Check the brakes before you get in the car.”

“Alright.”

Zoe agreed and left Charlotte’s office.

As soon as Zoe left, the office became much quieter. Charlotte looked at the table. She still had a lot of work to do today. She hoped to settle it before the end of the day. She had not been having any good sleep for several days.

…

At Avery’s home.

Avery sat in the living room reading the newspaper when his phone sounded. It was a message from Peter. The message was very simple. Basically, they guessed that the Stevens family wanted to use Christopher to target Zoe. They would target both Peter and Zoe.

While Avery hated the Stevens family, he also thought of Peter as a friend. He immediately replied to ask what he needed to do. Peter just told him to do nothing and that it was because he had something to do with the Stevens family. It meant that the Stevens family would make a move even if they were cooperating recently. Avery needed to be ready to fight back.

To fight back.

Avery thought about things carefully. Right then, Olive came over. “Mr. Avery, can I go out? My pens are out of ink.”

“I’ll take you.” Avery came to his senses and said to her, “It’s not safe these days.”

“Okay.”

Avery went to the stationery store with Olive. Originally, Olive just wanted to buy some pens. She didn’t expect that Avery would chat with the owner. Once the owner found out that she used the pens to draw, he prepared a set of professional supplies. Olive had never expected this. It wasn’t because of the issue of money. She was just messing about. She didn’t think that Avery would support her. After all, she was just a child. He would definitely think that painting was nothing important.

Avery grabbed Olive’s things and walked to the car with her. “Do you still want anything else?”

“Can I get a milkshake?” Olive asked cautiously.

“If you want to drink it, just tell me. You don’t have to be so reserved.” Avery had already got to the car. When he heard that she wanted a milkshake, he walked her to the front of the car.

“I still can’t believe that I can have such a good father.”

Avery smiled.

He could not be considered a good father. At most, he would try his best to procure the things she wanted to buy. That was all.

He was about to tell her that she didn’t need to thank him for too many things, but a wave of burning heat came from behind. Almost instantly, he followed his instinct and pulled Olive into his arms. He held her tightly in his arms and covered her forehead and face with his hands.

Boom-

The scorching waves were accompanied by a violent explosion.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Even Olive, who had been through some huge events, was terrified by the scene. The children in the area were all frightened. Suddenly, the sounds of crying and cursing rose in waves.

Something had happened.

This was Avery’s first thought.

He took a look at the source of the explosion, and his gaze grew darker.

“Mr. Avery, that was our car…” Olive said in a low voice.

Of course, he knew that it was his car. Of course, he also knew that if Olive hadn’t suddenly said that she wanted a milkshake, he would have opened the car door and gotten in at this time. Then, there would be his flesh and blood mixed in the explosion.

Avery took out his phone to call Shane, but in the end, he just dialed his subordinate’s number.

After all, he could not determine whether the perpetrator wanted his life or wanted to test who he would call at a critical moment.

If it was to test him and he called Shane, it would be exactly what the perpetrator wanted.
