Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 302

"Ms. Emerson, it's not that Mr. Fuller doesn't want to be in the same car as yours neither is it because I don't want to be with Zoe. It's just better if you don't take the same helicopter or car. The rate of accidents involving these two vehicles is too high. If anything happens..." Peter sighed.

The accident rate of planes and trains were low. However, some businessmen would still avoid being in the same car or plane as their wives or heirs.

This way, not everyone will be risked in the case of an accident. It was a cruel reality but it was all for the sake of family.

At that moment, Charlotte was speechless.

Zoe grabbed Charlotte's shoulder. "You guys have gone too far. It's just a car ride. How can there be an accident?"

"It is indeed impossible for the route we took before but what about the mountain roads?" Peter didn't agree with Zoe on this. He looked very serious. "Zoe, I know you're worried about Ms. Emerson because you're friends but you have to consider these issues for the sake of her and Mr. Fuller's future."

"This..." Zoe was also stunned.

"Peter, let's go." Shane didn't intend to explain anymore further.

Regardless of whether she understood or not, this was a fact Charlotte had to accept.

A long time ago, he had already set three people on this list. One was Grandma, the other was Charlotte, and the third was Sheryl.

Of course, he only added Charlotte and Sheryl onto the list after he knew Sheryl was his biological daughter. He wasn't foolish enough to hand over all his property to Charlotte and an unrelated daughter. It was too contradictory to his usual reasoning.

Peter and Shane had already gotten in the car. Charlotte had no other choice, she could only get in another car with Zoe.

"Miss Charlotte." The little girl immediately came up to her.

"You're here." Charlotte forced a smile.

"You don't seem to be very happy. Did you quarrel with your friends?" The little girl tilted her head and looked at Zoe.

Zoe shook her head and touched her cheek with a smile. "I will never quarrel with Ms. Emerson." "Was it the men then? Aunt once told me that men are unreliable."

The little girl said these words with a serious and sincere expression. The two of them couldn't help but laugh out loud. Charlotte's mood also turned for the better.

The little girl's uncle did not follow them because their car was loaded with the panda. So the staff on the car were more experienced.

The road leading into the mountains was also very rocky. Especially between the more remote cities, the road was almost non-existent.

"Lottie, I suddenly feel..." Zoe didn't know if she should speak out or not.

"I know. I'm also worried that what they said would happen." Charlotte's face darkened.

The rugged mountain road and a car of animals.

Worse still...

She looked out and realised it was raining.

Charlotte no longer had the time to blame herself for picking this project, or let Peter and Shane tag along. She could only worry if they were able to pass through this road smoothly. If not, they should make a stop here.

With this idea in mind, she stood up and headed towards the front of the truck and sat next to the driver.

"Master, is there a way to stop the car? We can leave after the rain is over."

"Huh, how is that possible? There's only one road. If we don't go up at the arranged time, we will run into the cars coming from the other way. What would we do then?" The driver sighed.

"Then can we leave the car behind us and go ahead first?"

"Well, you'll have to ask the car in the back."

Charlotte nodded and returned to her own seat. Then she made a call to Peter and Shane.

Neither of them answered.

Charlotte's face darkened in an instant. "Zoe, is there any way to see where they are?"

"No."

Charlotte descended into a state of panic. She kept rubbing her hands anxiously. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she turned on her phone. "Previously I placed a signal transmission device on one of the boxes to prevent us from losing the goods."

Zoe also breathed a sigh of relief.

For some reason, she was still a little worried about Peter. It was hard to describe what she felt...

She was also worried about Shane but not as strongly as Peter. She didn't know the reason.

Charlotte's phone detected the signal and said, "They have already set off."

"There shouldn't be any problems. The journey isn't long." Zoe handed her phone to Charlotte and continued, "It takes only ten minutes to read there."

Upon hearing this, Charlotte relaxed a little.

There was a law called Murphy's Law that states anything that can go wrong will go wrong.

She was now very worried.

Soon.

Charlotte and Zoe had reached the designated place. Although it was raining heavily and the wind was very strong, the pandas were all safely transported into the warehouse. Then, they prepared for the second transfer.

It was still raining cats and dogs outside.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour had passed, but the second car had never come.

The driver had already called someone to seal off the entrance and exit so no other cars could enter the route. At least, the car wouldn't run into other cars.

At this moment, Charlotte's phone suddenly rang.

It was Shane so she picked it up in a hurry. Before she could say anything, there was a panic voice on the phone, "Find Cole."

No sooner had his voice faded away, there was a loud crash on the other end.

"Shane!"

Then the call was cut off.

While Charlotte was worried, she quickly called Cole. Her hands were trembling and her knees gave way.

"Lottie." Zoe quickly propped her up.

"I'm fine."

After Cole answered, Charlotte explained the details to him. She knows Cole would be able to make the most accurate judgement. Cole and Shane must've made countless similar decisions before so he would make the most logical choice.

"Miss Charlotte, please stay where you are. I will contact my friends as soon as possible to ensure your safety. In the case where the first car safely arrived, the probability of a mechanical failure is lower than 2.1%. You should be more worried about yourself than Mr. Fuller."

"Do you mean this accident was a set-up?"

"If my estimation is correct, that should be the case. I've investigated and found the number of accidents in your area is less than 5 every year and among those around 2 occurred on a rainy day."

According to the probability, this wouldn't be such a coincidence.

Charlotte couldn't help but think of Avery's matter. Her mind was instantly in a state of chaos. "I understand, I'll stay right here"

"Okay. By the way, I would like to confirm if your ID and passport are with you?"

"What? Yes, I have them."

"If something unfortunate happens to Mr. Fuller, you will follow me abroad. All of his property will be transferred to you, Madam and Miss Sheryl. You will be the legal custodian of Miss Sheryl's property before she becomes an adult."

"Nothing would happen to him." Charlotte gripped her phone tightly. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

"I hope so, but we must calm ourselves down and prepare for the worst."

"I understand..."

After listening to Cole's explanation, Charlotte sat down and waited for the news. It was still raining outside, but it had slowed down.

Now, all she could do was wait for the news.

On the other side, Zoe was also nervous. She could guess the situation from Charlotte's reaction.

Shane was her superior and Peter was her companion or even her family.

They could only wait.

It was absolute torture.
