Chapter 181 Suspicion Caused by Charlotte’s Assault
Noticing the complex look Charlotte was giving him, Donny thought she was worried about hin, and rea*sured gently. “Don’t worry, it’s just a small wound. As long as you’re okay, that’s what matters,”
Saving that, he deliberately covered the blood stain on his clothes, so she wouldn’t see it.
Charlotte pursed her l*ps, “You go to the hospital first, I’ll wait here for the police.”
Donny paused for a moment, feeling that Charlotte’s current reaction seemed a bit off, but couldn’t figure out what was wrong.
After regaining his composure, Donny nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll go tend to the wound first. You go back and wait at CAL Restaurant.”
Charlotte was also worried that the man might return, so she simply went back and sat down in CAL Restaurant.
Manager Aslin of CAL, Restaurant quickly came over, apologizing profusely to her, “I’m sorry, Miss Clinton. Our security was negligent. Rest a*sured, from now on, they will stay by your side and ensure your safety.”

slightly.
She understood that CAL, Restaurant couldn’t be blamed for this incident. After all, no one could have expected a knife-wielding maniac at their storefront, injuring people,
After a while, Joe and the nearby police officers arrived one after another.
The moment she saw Joe, Charlotte felt a hint of surprise,
Joe entered CAL Restaurant with a serious expression. The moment he saw Charlotte, he scanned her from head to toe before showing a hint of relief.
“Are you alright?” Joe asked, a trace of concern flashing in his
eyes.
Charlotte just a*sumed he was nearby and dropped by. She shook her head and said, “I’m fine.”
Joe frowned, “What happened?”
“I’m not sure yet,” Charlotte shook her head. Just then, the police officers inspecting the scene returned to the store, “Miss Clinton, we’ve obtained surveillance from the nearby area. Please come back with us to give a statement.”
Just as Charlotte was about to nod in agreement, Joe said, “I’ll go with her.”

“I can go on my own, Mr. Smith doesn’t need to make things difficult for you,” Charlotte politely replied, not wanting to get too involved with Joe,
However, Joe completely ignored her and went straight to the
Car
Charlotte was speechless.
Upon arriving at the police station, they met Officer Carter right at the entrance.
“Mr. Smith, Miss Clinton?” Officer Carter hesitated as he looked at them, “Did you come… Is there new evidence in Stacy Vega’s case?”
Charlotte awkwardly shook her head, “No, I was accosted by bandits tonight.”
“An a*sault case?”
Officer Carter’s brow immediately furrowed. As Stacy’s case progressed deeper, they dug up a lot of clues. With an a*sault happening at this crucial moment, it’s hard not to connect it with Stacy’s case.
He pondered for a moment, “Anyway, I’m quite free now, I’ll join you guys.”
The officers handling the case naturally welcomed him. They sat in front of the computer and carefully reviewed the retrieved surveillance footage.

After injuring them, he ran like a madman for a while but soon disappeared from the surveillance range.
The deeper Officer Carter watched, the more furrowed his brow became. He reached out and swiped a few times on the screen. pointing out several key points, “From the sudden attack to the escape, this man’s actions seem random, but every move appears premeditated, not like a spur of the moment a*sault.”
With Officer Carter’s years of criminal police experience, the man’s actions were undoubtedly organized and premeditated, targeting Charlotte or Donny.
