Chapter 649 You Guys?
Donovan never did anything unless he was sure about it; he always played it safe and often managed to hit multiple targets at once.
When Donovan got home, Chloe sniffed his suit.
Donovan laughed, "What are you doing? Think I'd let you catch me with another woman?"
"If you don't want people to know, don't do it in the first place. That's what you always say." Chloe had a feeling Donovan was up to something.
Only now did Chloe realize Donovan was indeed a dangerous man, oozing charm and constantly attracting women. If Donovan wanted, there'd be plenty of women falling for him.
Chloe couldn't understand why she'd been so trusting all these years. Thinking back now, it scared her.
"Want to give it a try?" Donovan started unbuckling his belt.
"No thanks." Chloe knew he could get turned on in a heartbeat.
Whenever he got aroused, Chloe would end up with a sore back and aching waist. She didn't dare.
A few days later, Donovan got a call from Oscar.
Oscar was super excited on the phone, "Mr. Blake, you were right. Cynthia did hit Jake. Jake used to cry all the time, and we thought it was his problem. You know our neighborhood buildings aren't very tall, so any noise is easily heard. When Jake cried, we thought it was just him. I kept an eye out and went upstairs. Cynthia opened the door and said Jake had hurt himself at home and was crying, and that I should come back another day if I had something to discuss. But I didn't listen and went in. Jake was tied up with ropes in his own room. How could anyone..."
Oscar couldn't continue and started to cry, "I've lived so long and never thought someone could abuse a child like this. Jake is so small, how could she do it? And I heard Jake is adopted. Did she adopt him just to abuse him? Mr. Blake..."
Oscar couldn't go on, "Mr. Blake, I have to go. I've already called the police. I can't stand this. We all thought Cynthia was a gentle person, but who knew she was like this underneath."
"Thanks, Oscar. I'll probably head to Pearl Peak City tomorrow. I'll treat you to a meal when I get there," Donovan said and then hung up the phone.
Afterward, he sat on the couch, deep in thought.
He sent a message to Charles: [Arrange for Charlotte to go to Pearl Peak City tomorrow.]
[Is it time for your plan?]
[Yep, time to hit three goals at once.]
[What if I ask Charlotte and she refuses? She's probably still upset that I didn't praise her in front of Maya last time.]
[She won't. If she gets it, she'll go. If not, she's not worth your time.]
Charles thought to himself: Donovan really has everything figured out.
Charles couldn't figure out what Donovan's three goals were. He didn't know even one of them, but he'd long been in awe of Donovan's smarts, ever since their school days.
However, the chance to message Charlotte made Charles happy.
[Ms. Rose, do you have time tomorrow? We'd like you to come with us to Pearl Peak City.]
Charlotte had just finished her bath and saw the message. She was puzzled and replied while drying her hair: [Us?]
