Chapter 465 – Sending the Little One Away Again
Ever since Hobert Butler and Tina came to stay at the Charlie family’s villa, Mrs. Casey had continued to do as she always did, not saying much to the others, but not making any big waves either.
At least from a temporary point of view, the Charlie family is still in a state of peace and quiet.
Ilya and Elena Lawrence bring their kids and husbands over from time to time, and the three families get along well.
But things don’t always go smoothly, and accidents can happen at any time.
On this particular day, Ilya and Blanche Capra were having a barbecue in the garden when there was a loud “boom” from the kitchen that was shocking enough.
A series of white smoke billows out of the kitchen, and it’s clear that something is going on in the kitchen and they’re waiting to find out what it is.
This unexpected event caused their barbecue party to be unable to go on, and everyone rushed to the kitchen to find out what was going on.
When they got to the closest part of the kitchen, the thick white smoke made it difficult for them to see what was going on inside.
“What’s going on?” York Charlie, the master of the house, asked the man in charge of the kitchen, his expression neither happy nor angry.
One of the servants wearing an apron spoke back, “Young master, we don’t know what happened, I was just about to enter the kitchen when it blew up.”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“Oh no, Ximena is still inside.” At this time, a voice in a hurry came out from nowhere.
At that, Blanche Capra was quite shocked, there were still people in here? What about the safety of the people inside?
“Put out the smoke and check for casualties.” She quickly stabilized herself and turned to calmly directing people.
Let’s just hope the people inside are unharmed and safe, she loved every blade of grass and tree in this house, let alone a living human being, even if it was just a servant.
Blanche Capra didn’t have the condescension of a master, and she always treated her servants with kindness.
In her view, all men are created equal, and they are just employers who pay, and servants are just laborers who work for money, so there is no inequality.
Next, under Blanche Capra’s methodical direction, the smoke in the kitchen quickly cleared, and the scene that followed was that of a servant collapsing on the kitchen floor with her eyes closed.
Blanche Capra was shocked at the sight of the servant, and she reached over and probed her nose.
Luckily, there was still breathing, proving that the man was still alive and that the Charlie family hadn’t had a murder yet.
“Quick, get the family doctor over here.” York Charlie on the side also snapped.
The maid on the side then made a call to the family doctor.
The doctor soon arrived at the scene to diagnose the unconscious maid.
After a brief examination, the doctor spoke to the crowd, “Ximena isn’t in any danger, she just inhaled too much smoke and was knocked out, so she’ll be fine after a good night’s sleep.”
Upon hearing this, the crowd unanimously let out a sigh of relief.
But the occurrence of this accidental incident was a wake-up call to the crowd, a blatant warning.
This thing that happened in the kitchen today must be thoroughly investigated to the end, otherwise this time it is blowing up the kitchen, and the next time it is only feared that the entire villa will be blown up.
At that time, the Charlie family’s casualties must be extraordinarily serious.
“We will investigate this matter thoroughly to the end, and we also hope that if the personnel present have any clues, they must provide them to us.” Blanche Capra said these words with a serious face, and then joined York Charlie to send Ilya’s family away and carry out a series of investigations.
Through the investigation, it was learned that someone had placed the relevant ingredients for making explosives in the kitchen and then lit them with a lighter to make the earlier scene.
However, the person who did it was obviously not very good at it and missed one of the key ingredients of the explosives, which is why there was only smoke but no explosion.
In the study, Blanche Capra had a worried look on her face, “What should we do? Who the hell is making these things at home? It’s a good thing nothing happened this time, it would have been so bad if someone had gotten killed.”
York Charlie understood her inner trepidation, “We haven’t pulled the surveillance out yet, pull the surveillance out and take a look, see what suspicious characters there are.”
So the two of them went to the Charlie family’s specially equipped surveillance room, and went through the last few days of surveillance from beginning to end, and watched it for several hours through fast-forward.
But they hadn’t found any suspicious characters yet, probably because they were hiding too much, but they still had to keep their eyes open and watch patiently.
They had already watched for several hours, maybe the victory was waiting for them at the end, they couldn’t give up halfway.
“Look! Look at this person!” After another half hour of watching, the dizzy Blanche Capra seemed to see a ray of hope.
There was a scene on the screen: in the darkness, a blurry figure sneaked into the kitchen, bulging as if he were carrying something, as sneaky as a thief.
York Charlie sniffed his head over and studied the scene with Blanche Capra, rewinding the camera and zooming in and out.
The figure looked a little familiar to both of them.
“York Charlie, does this person look a little familiar to you?” Blanche Capra asked.
York Charlie responded with a “hmm”, “Seems a bit familiar.”
At the moment he had a sneaking suspicion that the person inside was most likely his mother.
That is to say, it was entirely possible that the accident in the kitchen was something his own mother had gotten up to.
In the next second, Blanche Capra also thought of something, the two of them silently glanced at each other, words do not need to say more, each other understand what is in the other’s heart.
After a moment of silence, Blanche Capra was the first to speak, “I want to send the little princess to Ilya’s house or Elena Lawrence’s house, what do you think?”
Ostensibly she was asking York Charlie’s opinion, but she was really just giving notice.
Whether the other party agreed or not, the little one she was determined to send away, and she could never do anything to let her daughter go on living in a place where danger could occur at any time.
As a mother, she would definitely be constantly on her toes, hanging on to her precious daughter’s safety at all times.
“You won’t take my advice, just do as you say.”
Frankly, York Charlie didn’t want to send his daughter away; he’d always felt that his mother wasn’t so deranged that she’d kill her own granddaughter.
But Blanche Capra’s fear for her daughter was something he could more than understand, he could empathize with.
With the man’s permission, Blanche Capra contacted Ilya without a moment’s pause and sent the little one to both Francesca Jones and Ilya’s homes as quickly as she could.
She also chose Ilya’s home over Elena Lawrence’s for insurance purposes, and also because the Elena Lawrence’s had so much attention to share with a heart attack child that she feared they wouldn’t be able to take good care of the little princess.
Ilya had treated Blanche Capra’s request very willingly, and she and Francesca Jones were also very fond of Clivia Charlie as a child.
It was the little one who was not particularly willing to leave her house, and only by herself, and Godfather Hobert Butler did not come with her.
Therefore, she felt that she was really alone in Ilya’s house.
Often there was not even a single person to talk to, which was not really the case, but it was just that she was subjectively and consciously unwilling to communicate with anyone.
