Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Charlotte purposely picked a buffet restaurant so that she didn't have to order for the children. The kids could just pick whatever they wanted to eat without hassle. There was also ice cream and desserts to satisfy them too. Even though the cost was relatively high, she thought it was worth it. She liked to bring them to buffet restaurants for meals.

As it was not the weekend, there were not many people around.

"Well, I have the information right here. Do you want to have a look?" Avery suddenly moved closer to Charlotte. "I think you must be aching to read the information about my brother."

"Your brother?" Charlotte's interest was piqued. She put down her utensils and turned her head to look at him. "What's there to know?"

"My brother was burned to death, wasn't he? Why do you think that happened?"

"Perhaps he offended someone?"

"That's right. Guess who it was."

How could Charlotte guess that?

However, the way Avery spoke about this matter made her think that it was probably a very powerful person. Furthermore, she could probably guess who it was judging by the powerful people Augustus kept around him... Charlotte had a bad feeling about this. She lowered her voice and asked, "Could it be Shane? It can't be, right?"

"Where'd you get that idea from?" Avery rolled his eyes. "My brother offended the Animal Protection Association."

That was wholly unexpected.

This was an organization that could not get along with Augustus. Augustus liked to abuse animals. As such he bought a lot of cats, dogs, and some parrots just to inflict pain on them. Everyone in the circle knew about this matter, and some have even reported him for it. It was said that the first person who reported him was a man with the surname Zhang. The man owned a Samoyed who had given birth to a puppy which he had given to Augustus as a gift. But not long after, Augustus told him that the puppy had died.

The Samoyed owner felt that something was off about the matter. Generally, pet owners would have brought their pets to the vet for check-ups when they thought their pets were unwell. It was odd for them to just die like that with no medical records. Even though Augustus had raised so many animals before, it seemed like none of them had been sick. They had all just died suddenly.

Thinking that it was suspicious, the man secretly collected evidence, and then reported Augustus to the Animal Protection Association.

Augustus was the first young master of the Hart family. Ordinary citizens, even Shane, could do nothing about it at that time, so the association decided to teach Augustus a lesson themselves. That fire was part of the lesson.
