The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family -
Chapter 3980
When Charlie saw this text message, his heart instantly tensed up, and his first reaction was to call this number back immediately.
However, what he did not expect was that the other party would have already turned off the cell phone as soon as he had just received the text message from the other party. Charlie became nervous, and he hurriedly sent a video call request to Stephanie.
The video call was quickly connected, and Stephanie, who was on the other end of the call, was standing behind the cashier's desk with a smile on her face as she asked, "Brother Charlie, why are you video calling me at this time?"
When Charlie saw that Stephanie was fine, he became relieved, and he said," Stephanie, I just received a text message saying that you were in trouble and the other party asked me to go to Vancouver immediately. What's going on? Are you in some kind of trouble?" "Huh?" Stephanie had a surprised look on her face as she said, "I am not in any kind of trouble... I'm just watching the convenience store now..."
Charlie frowned and asked, "Are you sure that there's nothing wrong? Why would someone send me a text message saying that you're in trouble, then?"
Stephanie was also confused, and she said, "Could it be a prank or some kind of fraudulent text message? Everything is fine over here, and I have not encountered any trouble..."
Charlie said, "If it's a prank, it has to be someone who knows both you and me for the person to have my cell phone number too, right?"
Stephanie frowned and pondered for a moment before she said, "I really cannot think of who it could be. Although we have met a lot of friends over here, they certainly would not know you, Brother Charlie."
As Stephanie said that, she hurriedly asked, "Brother Charlie, tell me the phone number. I'll check it out."
Charlie then read out the cell phone number that had just texted him.
Stephanie looked at the cell phone number and frowned as she said, "Brother Charlie, this number is indeed a local Canadian cell phone number, but I don't have this number saved in my phone either. I don't know who this person is..."
As Stephanie spoke, she said with certainty, "I think this has to be a prank. In the past, many locals used to use this method to engage in telecommunication fraud, right? They would suddenly send a text message saying things such as your son had a car accident and is in the emergency room in the hospital, you need to hurry up and remit money to this bank account, and so on. Brother Charlie, you have to be careful and alert."
"Mhm..." When Charlie saw that
Stephanie was indeed fine, he presumed that this was probably
really a prank, so he said, "It's best if nothing is wrong, but you still havet o pay more attention. Do not go out alone, and remember to lock the doors and windows when you sleep at night." Stephanie hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Brother Charlie. The security here in Vancouver is still very good, and it is much better compared to the United States.
There are even many Oskians here, and everyone is very friendly to one another and will help each other out if there is anything. So, there is certainly no danger here.' Charlie nodded and then said, "Remember to contact me immediately if there are any problems."
"Okay!" Stephanie quickly nodded.
At this time, a pleasant bell sound came from the video, and Stephanie hurriedly switched the camera view as she said excitedly, "Brother Charlie, look who's here!"
In the video, the door of the
convenience store had been pushed open, and the person who had
pushed the door open was none
other than Mrs. Lewis, who honet
taken care of Charlie in the
orphanage for a whole decade.
Aside from Mrs. Lewis, several customers were shopping in the store as well as a young girl wearing a coffee-colored apron who seemed to be helping out in the store.
At this time, Mrs. Lewis was
laughing as she pushed the door in. She was also carrying a non-woven handbag in her hand. When she saw Stephanie pointing her cell phone at her, she asked curiously," Stephanie, who are you on a video calkwith?"
"It's Brother Charlie!" Stephanie said excitedly, "Mrs. Lewis, Brother Charlie and Claire have arrived in the United States! Come and say hello to him!"
Upon hearing that it was a video call from Charlie, Mrs. Lewis said excitedly, "Really?!"
After saying that, she hurriedly came to the front of the cashier. Stephanie then switched the camera back to the front view, and both of them appeared together in the video. Charlie quickly waved respectfully as he said, "Hello, Mrs. Lewis!"
Mrs. Lewis said happily, "Charlie, you're in the United States now? When did you arrive?"
Charlie smiled and said, "Mrs. Lewis, we just arrived at the hotel, and we haven't even put our luggage down yet."
