Avery stood in front of the French window while he held his phone to his ear. "I just saw Shane drive away. Have you guys gotten into an argument?'1

"I want to ask you for a favour."

"Oh?" Avery raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Does it have anything to do with Shane?"

"I want to see Christopher."

Avery was stunned. He stiffened and replied, "No way, don't be silly! Why do you want to see Christopher? You've just had a lover's quarrel with Shane, haven't you? What would you..." Avery shook his head fervently as he did not know what else to say.

"Don't worry. He won't lay a hand on me. Just help me sneak an email to him, alright? Tell him that I'll be waiting for him at his mother's temple at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

"That's..."

"Listen, his mother will be there. He won't do anything to me in front of his mother. Don't worry."

Avery sighed and said, "Why must you see him? Don't you think you should ask Rick or Peter for their opinions first before you do this?"

"I don't want to ask them. I just want to meet up with Christopher face to face. Please don't tell anyone else about this."

"Charlotte, why do I feel like I'm about to become your accomplice? I thought that all of us were standing together, but now, you're suddenly asking to go meet Christopher by yourself..." Avery didn't want to doubt Charlotte, nor did he want to question her decisions. However, this move was simply too risky.

He didn't even understand why she would take such a risk. Did she just want to see Christopher?

What was she planning to achieve after the meeting?

Avery had a headache just thinking about this. He really wanted to find someone to vent out his frustrations but he was afraid that he would disrupt Lottie's plans.

"I can't just stand by and watch Shane turn himself into a criminal." After saying that, Charlotte hung up the phone. It was obvious that she didn't want Avery to ask any more questions.

Avery sighed and immediately went to find Christopher's address which wasn't very difficult to get hold of. After tracking his email down with Charlotte's, he was able to send a message to Christopher without pinging his IP address.

After sending the message, he got a reply in less than a minute. "Who are you?"

"Charlotte."

"You are not her."

"Avery."
