Purchased A Mr. Right

Chapter 324

"Mr. Hogg, here's the thing!" From the other end of the line, he continued, "You have a black card that hasn't been used in over four years, but this morning, a purchase was made at the mall! We are committed to customer service and protecting the interests of our customers, so I would like to confirm that you are the one who made the purchase, and if not, has your card been lost or stolen?"

After the call, Charlie put away the phone in his hand.

Pointing his abdomen to the screen, he pondered over the content of the call he just had.

With his heels on the ground, his high back chair facing the floor-to-ceiling window, a large amount of sunlight shone into his eyes and he had to narrow his eyes, and he looked like he had a lot of unanswered questions.

After a moment of silence, Charlie turned back and picked up his phone again.

When he found a number to dial, he asked in a low voice, "Where are you?"

"I'm at home..."

In the apartment building, Wendy looked blankly at the phone that had been hung up.

Because there was an interview in the afternoon, after shopping and eating with Larry, Uncle Lee took Larry home. She took her computer and just entered the door. She had just walked in the door with her laptop, and had just finished talking to Emily on the phone! Emily said that she had to meet her friend and would come back late.

Before she put down her phone, Charlie's call came in.

There wasn't even a hello, and he asked her where she was. When she answered him, he hung up without saying goodbye, which was very inexplicable.

After pursing her lips for a long time, she threw her phone on the sofa, went to the kitchen, and looked through the refrigerator to see what she was going to eat at night.

She took out two eggs and some rice left over from the night, which could be used to cook egg fried rice.

After she finished stirring the egg liquid and chopping the shallots, she turned on the stove and put the pan on top of it. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Wendy quickly turned off the fire and ran to the door. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

She leaned over the peephole and saw Charlie's firm face. She frowned slightly and didn't know why he was here. She counted the time. If she didn't guess wrong, he should have driven over after hanging up the phone.

"Open the door!"

As if knowing that she was inside, a calm voice came.

Wendy paused for a while and opened the door from the inside. "Well, Charlie, you come..."

Before she finished her words, Charlie had already strode in with his long legs, directly took off his leather shoes, and walked inside barefoot. After entering the living room, he did not sit down but turned back without warning.

Wendy followed him and almost bumped into him.

He did not tie his tie and unbuttoned two buttons on the collar of his shirt. When she looked up, her eyes were fixed on his Adam's apple.

"... What are you doing here?" She asked, pursing her lips.

Charlie put his hands in his trouser pocket and said in a casual tone, "Aunt Lee told me that you went shopping with Larry today?"

"Yes." Wendy nodded.

She still did not understand why he was here. From the way he had just entered the room, it was obvious that he had come for something important.

Charlie raised his eyebrows slightly and looked down at her. He pulled his lips and continued, "About an hour ago, I received a call from the bank saying that someone had swiped my black card."

"Is that so..." Wendy's heart skipped a beat.

"Wendy, I'm very confused. How did you get my black card?" Charlie took out a hand from his trouser pocket and rubbed his chin, looking troubled just as he had said. She had no choice but to swipe the card because the amount was more than she expected at the time. She did not expect him to know about it.

Just now, she even thought that he would not know it was her. But when she heard his question, she knew that she couldn't avoid it, so she began to sweat nervously.

His deep and penetrating eyes were staring at her sharply, and the back of her spine was tense.

Biting her lips, Wendy prevaricated. "Uh, I found it..."

"You picked it up?" Charlie narrowed his eyes.

"Yeah..." Wendy nodded and continued with the answers that had just been made, her words were unclear. "What a coincidence! I picked it up! Today, I went shopping with Larry, but I didn't bring

enough money. So I used that card. Anyway, I bought clothes for your son. You don't mind it, do you? Now I'm going to give it back to you..."

After that, she wanted to take the opportunity to slip away.

However, she didn't get what she wanted. Charlie stepped forward first and asked in a deep voice, "When did you pick it up?"

"..." Wendy panicked.

"Where did you pick it up?"

"Since you find it and know it's my card, why don't you give it back to me?"

Charlie asked a few questions. Every time he asked, he took a step forward. His tall body was covered with the setting sun, and his eyes were terribly bright. It seemed that he would not give up until he got the answer.

Wendy retreated again and again.

"You..." She barely managed to hold on and confront him, her eyelashes trembling. "You ask so many questions at once, how do I know which one to answer..."

"Then answer me one by one!" Charlie was pushing her.

Wendy was already panicked and a little disoriented, "My answer has already been given to you. I found it..."

"You're lying!"

Charlie shouted in a deep voice.

Wendy kept licking her lips."..."

Charlie continued to take big steps forward, forcing her to lean against the wall. He held her by her shoulders with both hands, as if he could lift her up from the ground in the next second.

"You have my black card, and you call Donna Aunt as well. You are also very familiar with Farr, and almost all the people who are close to me are familiar with you..."

All kinds of signs were full of doubts. Although her answers were always sensible and reasonable, a seed of doubt was planted in his heart.

Charlie paused for two seconds. He narrowed his deep eyes and gritted his teeth, then asked word by word, "Wendy, let me ask you for the last time. Do we know each other?"

"... No, we don't!" Wendy stiffly shook her head. Charlie's pupils contracted. For the second time, he repeated it again, but his tone was still very firm. "You're lying!"

The big hand on her shoulder was wrapped around like iron. At this time, his eyes were so tense and arrogant that it seemed that he could eat her alive at any time.

Just when she was being stared at and didn't know what to do, she suddenly heard the vibration of a phone.

"Buzz, Buzz-"

It was from Charlie's pocket.

Wendy said as if she had found her saviour, "Your phone is ringing..."

Seeing that he was unmoved and had no intention of answering it, she tried to persuade him further. "It's been the second time, maybe it's something important..."

Or maybe it was someone important.

She swallowed the last part of the sentence.

Charlie frowned for two seconds. His phone was indeed vibrating, and half of his leg muscles were vibrating. He had the experience of letting her escape last time, so he only released his one hand and took out his phone.

Wendy was still clinging to the wall, unable to move at all.

She saw him put the phone beside his ear, picked it up, and looked at her. He opened his thin lips and said to the other end of the line, "No, she is with me now." Wendy frowned and was surprised at the same time.

The sound over the phone wasn't clear, although they were almost close to each other, she did not hear what it's said over the phone on the other end of the line. However, he had just mentioned her.

She secretly gasped and took the opportunity to calm herself down quickly.

When she had just taken two deep breaths, someone on the other side of the line said something. The big hand on her shoulder loosened. Charlie's face changed dramatically. "Aunt Lee, what did you say? Larry is missing again?"
