Chapter 305 What Right Did He Have?
“Mr. Fuller, do you still remember someone who goes by the name of… Christopher Gibson?” Avery did not like to keep people guessing. After a minute, he revealed the name to Shane.
“Christopher?” It wasn’t that Shane didn’t think of him but felt he had nothing to do with this.
“I got some information from Rick. You may not believe it. I don’t know if you want to hear this, Mr. Fuller.” Avery smiled coyly.
“Speak properly.”
Avery picked up a cup on the bedside table and drank it. Then he said, “Rick told me on the day before he made a false testimony for Kendall, he met Christopher at a bar.”
“So?”
“Mr. Fuller, calm down. Let’s analyze the situation. Rick is in a dilemma because he helped Kendall make a false testimony. Although you and Ms. Emerson might forgive him, he’s still a thorn in your side. Besides, he still loves Ms. Emerson very much. You don’t deny that, do you?”
Shane was silent. That was why he had not refused any request from Rick until now.
He did not believe someone who had loved Charlotte for so many years would suddenly have a change of heart and be with Kendall.
Of course, he did expect Rick would break up with Charlotte.
“Go on.”
“It’s not difficult to change a person’s thinking but to change something ingrained in you… It’s like asking you to stop loving Sheryl. Maybe you can do it in 3 to 5 years… but changing a root-deep mentality overnight? What do you think that is?” Avery’s answer was on the tip of his tongue.
He didn’t keep Shane guessing, but he knew that if Shane believed him, he would definitely give him an answer.
But if Shane didn’t believe him, he should stop wasting his time talking. It wouldn’t matter what else he said.
“Hypnosis.”
“It seems that Mr. Fuller has the same idea as me. I’ve investigated that Christopher was supposed to go to some ivy league university but he flunked badly so he transferred to one of the top listed university of psychology.”
Shane fell silent again.
Charlotte didn’t even dare to breathe.
Hypnotism.
They’ve only heard of this in movies. Now it’s happening in her life?
How could that be possible? If Christopher knew how to hypnotize someone, why didn’t he use it on Shane?
“If he knows hypnotism, why didn’t he use it against me?”
It was so obvious Shane and Charlotte thought of the same question.
Avery sneered, “Are you so sure that you haven’t been hypnotized by him? Or perhaps, both of you know that your willpower is strong and that a one-time ordinary hypnotism wouldn’t work. Therefore, he chose another method.”
“Long term hypnosis?” Shane frowned.
“You and Braden still treat him like a brother. Is there really no other reason other than you being so merciful and smart? Yes, I’ll admit that you are so strong you can just let him be and do whatever you want but is this in line with your logic?”
Every question Avery asked made everything seem clear in an instant.
Before Shane and Charlotte could react, Avery asked again, “Also, why didn’t he just hypnotise you directly? Look at the NC company, it fell from a top company into a barely adequate one. Christopher isn’t dumb, he wanted you out of the NC company but he has to wait for the right time.”
“That is to say, he had expected for me to let go of the NC company?” Shane’s eyes were filled with darkness.
“His plan isn’t necessarily for you to let go of it,” Avery replied indirectly.
“Well, after all, he doesn’t know how I do things.”
“This is where the problem lies. Christopher is detailed enough but his EQ is too low. He shouldn’t have…”
“He hates Shane.” Charlotte interrupted Avery and looked at Shane. The man next to her nodded at her, indicating that she could explain the matter clearly.
At this time.
Avery only knew that Christopher was Shane’s biological brother.
He suddenly realized. “No wonder his EQ is low. He has been blinded by hatred.”
“What do you want to do about this?” Charlotte asked.
“I’m not going to deal with it.”
“Don’t deal with it.”
Avery and Shane gave the same answer at the same time.
Avery smiled and flipped his hair. He leaned back lazily and said, “Isn’t it enough to know who’s behind this? Now we just have to act broken in front of everyone. Shane, I remember you have a brother, Braden, who’s marrying Rick’s sister, Anne. That’s good timing.”
“That can be done.”
“What are you guys planning to do at Anne’s wedding?” Charlotte had a wary look on her face.
It was Anne’s wedding. She would not allow these people to ruin it.
“Don’t worry, Anne’s wedding with Braden is a joke.” Avery’s voice was ice-cold as he said, “We’re pretty clear what the Jane and Collins family thinks. Only you would be so naive.”
“I… ”
“It’s normal for you to be nervous. Your best friend is getting married. It’s a once in a lifetime event. But I have to remind you, formality can be destroyed by anything.”
Avery’s words hurt.
But it was terrifyingly real.
The wedding was just a formality. It would not affect the relationship between Anne and Braden. However, on the contrary, if they did not solve the problem, they would be stuck in between the Collins and Jane family. The issue wouldn’t be so simple then.
Charlotte sighed. “I support any decision you make. If you need me to do anything, I’ll do it.”
“Of course I need you, but you just need to do something extremely simple.”
As Avery explained the plan, Shane did not say a word. Obviously, the both of them have the same thoughts.
Charlotte pricked up her ears to listen. The more she listened, the more she felt that Avery had a lot of corrupted ideas.
Interesting.
There might be a good show when they return to River City after this business was over.
However, how should she explain it to Anne?
Charlotte’s heart was in a state of conflict.
…
In another ward.
Peter tried his best to grab the finger. “Mr. Fuller!”
He screamed in a hoarse voice as he struggled to get up from the bed. He fell heavily on the floor with his eyes still shut. All he could do was shout “Mr. Fuller” as he crawled on the floor.
“Peter!” Zoe heard his voice and hurried over from the break room. She put her hands on him.
“Are you Zoe?” Peter stopped. He turned his head towards her but he still couldn’t open his eyes.
Shane had red spots and rhinitis caused by a respiratory infection while Peter had eye meningitis. His eyes were red and swollen so he couldn’t see clearly.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yes, it’s me, Zoe.”
“Where’s Mr. Fuller?”
“Lottie is with him.”
Peter breathed a sigh of relief and then he burst out laughing on the cold ground.
“What’s wrong? Get up from the ground. Your body can’t get infected.” Zoe propped him up and laid him on the bed.
“Zoe, Mr. Fuller, he saved me. I almost died,” Peter said in a tearful voice.
Zoe was stunned.
Peter stretched out his hand and pulled Zoe into his arms as he sobbed, “Why do my parents want me to die, but my boss wants me to live? We are not even related. You have no idea how he looked at me that time…”
It was the same as how Charlotte looked when she was joking.
He was determined and firm. He wasn’t afraid at all.
What right did he, Peter, have to be saved?
“You’d better keep this matter to yourself. Mr. Fuller didn’t tell any of us. Even Lottie didn’t know.” Zoe smiled bitterly.
Shane looked so cold on the outside but in reality, once he accepted someone in his life, he would do his best for them.
As long as they did not lie or betray him, he would not abandon them.
Peter’s body was trembling.
After a long time, he finally came back to his senses. “How’s Mr. Fuller doing?”
