Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 358

"If I told you I had this plan, would you say I'm being lazy?" Rick asked.

"No, I could feel you are very tired. If it's possible, I also hope you can take a break," Kendall answered very seriously.

"I might rest until I'm old. Do you have no problem with that?"

"Resting doesn't mean you're not making money. I think even if you really travel with me, you can still dabble in investment. That would definitely benefit me. I can have fun while you work at the hotel. Hahaha..." Kendal laughed with her hands on her hips, obviously thinking of the perfect future.

This was the advantage of being with Kendall.

She could always make his tense mood relax in an instant. Rick gently massaged Kendall's temples and said, "When this is over, we'll leave here."

"Alright," Kendall responded with a smile. There was a glimmer in her eyes.

Rick's phone suddenly rang. He came to his senses and took the phone out of his pocket. "Hello? Peter? What... Okay."

"What's wrong?"

Kendall leaned over and

eavesdropped out of curiosity.

"Peter called. He said Braden and Anne might be on our plane. The Jane Corporation invested in an airport. I'll ask the person in charge about it. I really don't know what Braden is up to." Rick was

furious and frowned. He seemed to be burning with anger.

"Oh," Kendall said. "It's also possible that they had been kidnapped. He can't be blamed for that."

"I can't blame him if he was kidnapped? Then why did he take Anne away in the first place? I will kill him if anything happens to Anne." Rick dialled another number in anger.

Kendall didn't dare to speak anymore. Rick and Anne depended on each other for their lives. She has to be careful in talking about Anne before Rick or vice versa. Otherwise, she might get in trouble with them if she weren't careful.

Rick dialled a string of numbers but there was no news. He had to call Peter again.

"You can't find Braden too? Who on earth is this Christopher?" Peter pulled on his hair and said, "Even Avery and I aren't able to find Braden. Why aren't they in any surveillance cameras? Why?"

"Why are you so sure that they avoided all the surveillance cameras?"

Peter suddenly calmed down. He patted his head and said, "Why didn't I think of it? Rick, you are a saint."

A saint?

Was that a compliment?

The corners of his mouth tugged up and he ignored Peter, mainly because he didn't understand why Peter was suddenly so excited. Although he didn't understand, he had an invincible brain. So he made a deduction from Peter's point of view.

Peter had looked through all the surveillance cameras and still found nothing, so he was very frustrated. He also wondered why Braden was able to avoid all the cameras. At the same time, he

suspected that Braden might have missed some of the newly installed cameras.

Therefore, at this time, Peter might be investigating the latest cameras and then upload Braden and Anne's photos into the software to compare them.

"It's a good idea but I'm afraid of the time constraint..." Rick muttered to himself.

There might not be enough time for the system to compare the pictures one by one. The kidnapper might kill them if they were not able to make it in time.

"Rick, what are you talking about?" Kendall was

confused.

"It's nothing. I was just thinking if there was enough time."

"Is it ten against one or one against ten? Ten against one would definitely be faster."

Hmm?

Rick turned around and looked at Kendall with an amazed look. Kendall blinked innocently and asked, "Did I say something wrong? If I took one of your pictures and compared it with ten people, it would be very fast. But if I compared ten people with one of your pictures, it would be much slower."

So that's how it was.

This was why Avery and Peter worked so fast.

When he waited for people to investigate, it was often Kendall's explanation. They didn't have any reference nor a good software so they could only use dumb methods. But Peter and Avery only needed one picture to compare it with the surveillance cameras. How could they be slow?

Rick's heart was finally at ease.

In any case, now was the time to wait for the result.

He hoped that the results would come out soon.

Peter compared at least 20 streets with hundreds of cameras. He finally found Braden on the surveillance camera of a small alley. He looked very tired with an earpiece in his ear. Peter was sure someone had instructed him to do so.

"I have checked. This surveillance camera was newly installed in March this year. Because of the high crime rate, the authorities implemented a lot of protective measures to calm the public. We can conclude that the kidnapper is not aware of this. So I conducted another investigation but got nothing." Peter put his report on Charlotte's table and sighed with regret.

It should have been a good lead but the kidnapper was too cautious or maybe he wasn't smart enough.

"It's fine, so now we know he has appeared in Brine today. In other words, he hasn't left Brine."

Peter didn't think of this. After all, even if he appeared in an alley, there was still a chance he might have left.

Charlotte continued, "I've come to this conclusion because if the kidnappers wanted them to leave the city, he would've done it two days ago. There's no reason to hide from surveillance cameras until now. Which means..." "Is he testing his understanding of the cameras?"

Peter asked in an instant.

"Mm. Personally, I don't think that Christopher would do such a thing." Charlotte paused as she spoke, "He doesn't have the time."

"If it isn't Christopher, who would it be?"

Who else had a grudge against the Collins or Jane family?

"I think you can ask Avery if Caleb has such a hobby."

Caleb Stevens! Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Peter really didn't expect that. He immediately turned around and left the office as he hurriedly took out his mobile phone to call Avery.

Charlotte sighed and rubbed her temples. "Shane, now that things have come to this point, do we have any other choice? Are we just going to continue searching like this? What if the kidnapper kills them once 72 hours have passed?"

Shane, who had been reading a book, looked up and glanced at her. "There's no need to do anything else."

Charlotte was speechless.

She always felt that Shane did not care about Braden. What should she do?

"Anne has never suffered since young. If she really had been kidnapped, who knows what kind of house she's trapped in..." "Lottie." Shane interrupted her directly. "Didn't you see Braden's clothes on the surveillance footage?"

Huh?

Charlotte turned on the monitor again and looked at Braden's clothes carefully. First, his clothes were very clean. Second, it seemed to be quite new. It seemed very trendy and fashionable. Thirdly, the sneakers he was wearing looked expensive because had an Air Jordan logo.

"I don't understand. What does this mean?" Charlotte frowned. Did that mean Braden change his clothes?

"Braden never wears sneakers. He thinks that he wouldn't be able to get ladies in them," Shane simply said. Then he closed his book and put it on the table.

"Does that mean that the kidnapper gave him the clothes he was wearing?"

"It's not just that."

Charlotte pondered about it further.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
