Chapter 1038: Chapter 1038: Have You Found It?
Charlotte’s pupils trembled slightly upon hearing Olivia’s words.
She didn’t speak, just gently patted Olivia’s back, comforting her.
If Annie really reconciled with Oliver Hudson, then Olivia’s return to their side would surely mean a blissful and happy childhood for her.
...
After sending the children to kindergarten, Charlotte received a call from her older brother Henry while at the coffee shop.
It was about the Battleson Family’s previous generation that Charlotte had asked Henry to investigate.
"Have you found something?"
"I’ve told Jordan already. You can get the details from him later."
Charlotte nodded as she listened, "Thank you, big brother."
"What are you thanking your big brother for, silly girl?" Charlotte said with a sweet smile.
After hanging up the phone, Charlotte glanced at the time on her mobile and sent a message to Jordan, inquiring if he was at home.
Jordan replied quickly, and seeing his response, Charlotte stood up, ready to go to Jordan’s place.
She straightened her coat and turned her head but felt as if someone was watching her.
Charlotte looked up with confusion but didn’t notice anyone suspicious around her.
Charlotte blinked, wondering when she had become so paranoid.
With a wry smile, Charlotte grabbed her bag and walked out of the coffee shop.
The kids had been taken to kindergarten in a Stardust Garden car, so Charlotte planned to hail a taxi to Jordan’s place.
However, as Charlotte waved to flag down a taxi on the side of the road, a hysterical voice came from behind her.
"Charlotte! It’s all because of you; you’ve ruined me to this state! I’m going to make you pay!"
Charlotte turned and saw a figure in black charging towards her, who then stretched out an arm and shoved her toward the middle of the road.
The sudden appearance of this person took Charlotte completely by surprise, leaving her no time to brace herself as she stumbled backward.
The oncoming cars honked their horns frantically. Charlotte was terrified, but her falling body could not react instinctively.
Just as Charlotte closed her eyes, bracing for the worst, what greeted her was not pain but an arm wrapping around her waist.
Charlotte was pulled back up. Opening her eyes in panic, she discovered that the person in front of her was someone she knew.
"Vincent!" Charlotte couldn’t help but exclaim.
Vincent steadied Charlotte, but he was in no mood for pleasantries.
The black-clad individual who had pushed Charlotte, seeing his plan thwarted, pulled out a fruit knife from his pocket and lunged at Charlotte with it.
This action not only terrified the bystanders but also made Charlotte’s already unsettled heart skip a beat once again.
"Die!"
Even though the man in black wore a mask, Charlotte could imagine the ferocity and distortion on his face from his tone.
However, Vincent, standing next to Charlotte, pulled her back.
"Be careful."
After instructing Charlotte, he stepped forward to confront the assailant.
Charlotte was naturally alarmed by this action.
But Vincent had already begun fighting with the man in black.
Charlotte never knew Vincent was capable of such moves.
Compared to the assailant’s wild and erratic stabs, Vincent’s dodges were swift and precise.
