Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Rick took a deep breath to calm down. "I don't hate a person. What I hate is people who break the rules. I'm not ambitious, but I hope that the Jane Corporation thrives and my friends live a peaceful life. I hate these things, not you."

"I know." Kendall gently held his arm. "Look, it says that this was the man who attacked Avery. He asked the family to adopt Olive, and he deliberately let Olive witness those kids being abducted. But what he didn't expect was Olive not going to the police."

"This person is too repulsive." Rick gnashed his teeth and said, "Peter, you still can't get through to Shane?"

"I've already asked the hotel staff. No one answered the door when they knocked. I suspect that they're asleep. There's nothing we can do now," Peter answered, his face twisted in annoyance and anger. "I'm thinking that it'll be very painful when they wake up and receive the news."

"Let's take it one step at a time. You should tell Shane about this first. It's up to him if he wants to tell Charlotte. You and Zoe will pass this letter to Avery and caution him to stay home." "Yes, I understand." Peter took the letter and immediately left with Zoe.

Rick turned around and saw that Kendall was preoccupied. He palmed her face and kissed her. "I'm not blaming you, I was just overwhelmed. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have placed the blame on you. Will you forgive me?"

"Rick, you don't have to be gentle with me. I know you have removed the locator in my mobile phone once. You didn't blame me and told me to leave. For that, I am very grateful. I don't know what's going on with the locator on my phone. Would you like to check it again?" Kendall handed the phone to Rick.

"Okay." Rick took the phone and stroked her head. "From now on, we're attached at the hip. No matter where I go, you will stick with me. If someone wants to separate you, you must follow me immediately, understand?"

"I understand."

Rick nodded and led Kendall to collect evidence.

No one saw Christopher and Mrs. Fuller Senior going upstairs together. In other words, there was no evidence.

Disgusting.

That was the only word in Rick's mind.

She was an elderly person and Christopher still did this to her. Rick could only imagine the emotions going through her mind when she showed up for the appointment. Was she surprised or apprehensive? Did she hope for reconciliation?

However...

The person she was looking forward to coming around was the one who fired the shot that ended her life.

With tears welling up in his eyes, Rick roared and reared around to punch the wall. "We're all too merciful."
