Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Charlotte tidied up her documents and rubbed her stiff shoulders.

Shortly after returning to the company, she had finished preparing the materials for tomorrow's meeting, so she had the whole afternoon to rest.

It was the first tthat she had such a comfortable afternoon since she returned home.

Next, she only had to prepare the information and data needed for the reporters within three days. Although she didn't know when Shane would give her the documents, it was good to prepare beforehand. A day later.

Shane asked Cole to send the documents over.

Charlotte looked at the words on it and couldn't help but tremble. As long as this notarization was publicized, she could get the shares of the Emerson Corporation.

That transfer agreement that was torn up by Elaine didn't matter anymore.

He was really helping her out.

Then why did he have to break the contract? Charlotte felt slightly conflicted. She shook her head and forced herself not to think about those matters anymore. Beep! Beep! Beep! She was pulled back to reality by the ringtone of her mobile phone.

She picked up. "Hello?" "Cole only said that you've received the documents?" It was Shane. Charlotte's fingers tightened.

"Yes, that's right." "It's been 15 minutes since you got the documents." Charlotte didn't understand what he was implying. After being stunned for a moment before suddenly realizing that he might be waiting for her to thank him.

She lowered her head and her lips couldn't help but quirk up at the corners. "But I haven't finished reading them yet. I was planning to call you after I finish." "Oh?" "Thank you." Her voice was very soft.

The phone's end call tone announced that the person on the other side had hung up.

Charlotte looked at her own face reflecting off the pitch-black screen, her fingers burning hot.

Strangely, it was just an ordinary "thank you". Why was she blushing? Charlotte put down her phone and entered work mode. But after a few hours, Rick sent his special assistant to get her for rehearsal.

When Charlotte stood at the venue of the press conference.

Only then did she realize that Shane had cto the company and told Rick about this matter, because he might have been hoping for Rick to settle this matter himself.

He was not sure if she would tell Rick about the document, so he directly let Rick know and made Rick help her.

At that moment.

Charlotte didn't know whether she should be thanking Rick, who was in front of her, or Shane, who did everything silently without letting her know.

After srehearsals, Rick corrected sparts of Charlotte's speech.

"Of course, you should also try not to mention your mother's name." Rick's words made Charlotte extremely unhappy. She was puzzled, "Why?" "Your mother is not an Emerson, and now even your father is dead. For a woman who is not an Emerson, a late former director of the Emerson Corporation and you, who have broken ties with the Emerson family..." Rick didn't say the rest.

Charlotte's face was as pale as paper. She silently nodded her head, her mood extremely down.

She knew that Rick didn't mean any harm. He was simply helping her, but this bloody fact still made her uneasy. Rick held her shoulder gently with a faint smile gracing the corner of his mouth. "According to this document, your mother had been worried about your life since ten years ago. At that time, she already had no trust in your father, the Emerson Corporation and the Emerson family. When you becstronger, you can counterattack in other ways. But now, you can only accept it." "Brother Rick, what would you do if you were the one who comes face-to-face with this kind of thing one day?" Her eyes were shining.

He didn't know whether it was because she was being expectant of his answer, or because of the tears already welled up in her eyes.

Rick moved his long fingers to her cheek and muttered to herself, "You fool, how did you think I made it this far?" He was just defending Anne against everything Charlotte was facing now.

Of course, he didn't mind helping to defend Charlotte once again.

If sacrifice was needed for a happy life, he was willing to becthe main character in the tragedy.

"I'm sorry. I misunderstood what you meant just now." "You said before that the world was merciless. You're right. In the face of capital, you either are a person with a heart controlled by a heartless person or beca ruthless person who has the right to speak up in the circle. But no matter which one it is, it is destined that you only can be heartless to most people." Charlotte did not agree with this idea. "By speaking about heartlessness, what do Anne and I mean to you, then?" Rick turned his back to her, and his eyes flashed with coldness. "And that was why I said I would be heartless towards most people, and not everyone. Let's take the most simple example. If you are Shane, and you can only save one person between Braden and Christopher, who are tied to two bombs now, who would you save?" This...

Charlotte's instinct was to save Christopher. Although he was very gentle to everyone, she could always notice his loneliness and sadness hidden beneath a smile.

However, she couldn't give up Braden completely, as he was who Anne loved the most, although she didn't like his character very much.

"If I were Shane, I would not hesitate to choose Braden, no matter how the relationship betweenand Christopher is, because Christopher doesn't belong to my company anymore." Rick gave the coldest and most rational answer. "If we are destined to be heartless, why can't we let rationality rule over?" Anyway, it was impossible to save everyone, so why not becstronger by stepping on the weak? Maybe one day he could turn around to protect those weak people instead.

Charlotte seemed to suddenly understand. She raised her head abruptly, "I get it now!" Only then did Rick slowly turn sideways, look at her again as he nodded with a smile.

The press conference was scheduled for the early morning two days later.

Rick had bought over the most searched hashtags and the news channels in advance.

It was very likely that the news would spread throughout the country before noon.

The topic of everyone's gossip would revolve around Charlotte and her parents' entire life.

At the press conference.

Charlotte faced hundreds of reporters on her own.

There was only a mass of heads below her.

This scene was extremely frightening. She held her wrist tightly and kept touching the ice-blue gemstone on it. This was the only way she could calm herself down.

"Miss Charlotte, what are you trying to achieve by presenting this document at such a time?" The first question was already extremely tricky.

"I just received the document a week ago." "May I ask who you got it from?" "I have no comment on this." "Miss Charlotte..." "No comment." In the entire press conference, the two words mentioned the most by Charlotte were "no comment".

Of course, the media was very angry. A few bold reporters had already written headlines such as "What's the point of a down and out daughter of the Emerson Family in fighting for her nephew's share of the family's inheritance?", planning to take this opportunity to pull Elaine into the waters as well. Rick had already planned for this, so he had reserved all the media channels for this day.

All the titles and contents which had a negative impact in Charlotte were deleted.

Of course, he wasn't spending his money for nothing. This was also a good opportunity to advertise the Jane Corporation. This was because the dane Corporation had just officially made a comeback in the ASEAN region, and the fact that Charlotte was the CEO of the Jane Corporation had spread across the entire country in a short period of time. As for the money he spent, it was the cash he received from selling that 2% of NC's shares.

At the end of the day, this time, Charlotte and Rick were under Shane's care.

However, this care was too deep. No one, even knowing people, understood Shane's intention, except Rick alone.

However.

Even he couldn't understand the intention of Shane's actions.

If it was for the sake of the Jane Corporation, there was no need to do this. If he was trying to help Charlotte out, why would he divorce her? Was there any better protection on earth than the title of "Mrs Fuller"? Rick looked at Charlotte, his gaze deepening.

Charlotte felt her hair stand on end the from being stared at. She hurriedly handed the documents to her secretary and ran to his side. "Rick, did I say something wrong?" "I'm sorry." Rick turned his gaze away from her and rubbed his forehead.

"Thank you so much for this time." "I'm afraid it's notwhom you should be thanking." "Huh?" Charlotte was confused.

From the venue to the script, Shane was the one who helped settle everything.

Who else should Charlotte be thanking other than him? X
