Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Why did Rick give false testimony back then? Rick couldn't remember now. He only knew that he had gone to a bar to drink. When he went home, he had impulsively made this decision.

Kendall had been so pitiful, just like how he was before Charlotte. He was pitiful and small.

That was probably the weird reason why he went to court and beca false witness.

Rick raised his hand to rub his eyebrows and said, "Anyway, it's good that Lottie is still willing to cooperate with us. Once the goods are delivered, and if everything goes well, we can bypass the Stevens family to save our shipping routes and warehouses." "If it doesn't go well..." the assistant asked worriedly.

"I'll accept my fate." When Charlotte walked into the living room, she just happened to hear Rick say "accept my fate". She did not feel anything as she returned to her own seat and pushed the contract before him.

Rick looked at the details and gave the contract to the people next to him to verify the terms. After they made sure that there was no problem, Rick signed his name.

Although Rick was now Charlotte's client, due to the fact no company in River City could handle 200,000 tons worth of goods, the two of them were not in direct conflict. As long as Charlotte didn't want to, Rick could only disperse his stock to different companies.

However, letting different companies handle the sstock would cause problems.

The contract was signed.

Rick immediately paid all the fees.

"According to the regulations, you only need to pay 20% as a deposit. You don't need to pay so much." Charlotte looked at the numbers on the check and repeatedly confirmed that Rick was paying her 1.2 million and not 200,000 dollars.

"We don't have to follow the regulations. The Jane Corporation has enough working capital. I'm afraid that there will be more trouble if I don't settle this quick. You should cash the check as soon as possible." "What you mean is, you have internal problems as well?" They had problems as well? Did she think that his Jane Corporation had the sissue as NC Company? No, it was different.

At least, there would not be a life-and-death struggle between Christopher and Shane. Both of them were playing the gat the slevel. Even if one of them left, the other might not get to take control of the company. However, this was totally different here.

Rick shook his head. "It's not an internal problem. My thoughts are different from the Stevens family's. There would have been friction sooner or later." "I still don't understand. Why did you cooperate with them then?" Charlotte frowned.

"Lottie, sometimes, I don't get a choice. By the way, I'm very grateful to you and Mr. Fuller for that thing with Mielle. If it weren't for you, I probably still won't know who killed Mielle. I would have to wait a long tfor the murderer to be caught." Rick didn't want to continue this topic, so he took his people and left.

And yet.

Charlotte was stunned.

She did not follow up on the matter of Mielle.

In her mind, Shane did not bother about this matter anymore. Why did Rick say that he had found the murderer? Moreover, even if the murderer was found, she only knew about Joe. She still had no clue who had hired Joe. Although she said that she suspected the Stevens family, Shane would never spread rumors because there was no evidence.

Charlotte bit her lip and looked down at the check in her hand.

It was better to cash it in first. After all, she was afraid of trouble, too.

Charlotte went to the bank. After she processed the check and received the money, she asked her subordinates to communicate with the Jane Corporation. The matter of Rick's request to cooperate with the company finally cto an end.

Charlotte had nothing to do at the office even if she went back there at this hour. Charlotte contacted Peter and decided to check on his progress with Zoe.

After she arrived at the neighborhood, Charlotte searched for a long tbefore finding Block 87 where Peter and Zoe were.

She knocked on the door, and Peter opened it.

"Why didn't you callto pick you up, Ms. Emerson." Peter took out sslippers from the shoe cabinet. "Did you pick the block based on safety reasons when you bought this place?" Charlotte complained as she took off her shoes.

"I thought lock 87 would be at the back, but I didn't expect it to be hidden behind the community garden. I dare not go out at night even as a man. When I open the door, all I can see is a bunch of shrubs after a long, dark corridor. Have you watched any TV shows? That is where murderers often hand out," Peter lowered his voice mysteriously.

Charlotte was speechless. She shook her head. "With your guts, you're much better suited to be an assistant than a security guard. When the glass door of our office was smashed, you hid behind Zoe too." "Mr. Fuller is more suited to be a security guard." "Alright, I'll call him later and tell him you said that." When Peter heard this, he immediately smiled ingratiatingly as he grabbed Charlotte's arm, "Ms. Emerson, please, I still have a family to support. I..." "What family do you have to support?" "I..." "Lottie," Zoe cfrom within the house with a laptop in her hands. "I have analyzed the best shipping route for Rick's stock. We just need to check the tof delivery with him. Two planes should be enough." Peter immediately let go of her hand. He wanted to explain, but Charlotte had already walked into the house with Zoe, and neither of them paid attention to his actions.

Peter scratched his head and followed Ms. Emerson inside.

Zoe's logical ability was very strong. Charlotte looked at her plan and could only nod continuously.

By the tshe finished reading all the files, it was already six o'clock.

"I won't disturb you any further. If there are any other questions, I'll cto see you again." Charlotte put the documents back into her bag.

"Don't you want to have dinner before leaving?" Zoe asked. "I cook well." "No, Shane textedsaying he will be hfor dinner tonight. I have to cook after I get back." Zoe could vaguely smell the scent of love. She joked, "Now not only does Ms. Emerson not need to take care of her child, but she also has someone waiting for her to go hand cook. She is really lucky." Charlotte faced Peter and said, "Did you hear that? She's hinting at you to get on with it." "That's not what I meant," Zoe explained impatiently.

"It's great that you want to think about dating. Alright, I'm leaving now." Zoe stood up to send Charlotte off.

As soon as Charlotte left, Zoe changed her clothes. She put on an apron and went into the kitchen.

Only then did Peter have the opportunity to talk to her. "Zoe, do you cook at home?" "Yes." "I see." Peter went to the oven and looked at the dish inside. He couldn't help but salivate when he smelled the delicious food inside.

No wonder there were so many steps. The food smelled so good.

It didn't matter if they weren't dating. If they went on like this, he could be happy too.

Half an hour later, Charlotte returned home.

Shane hadn't cback yet. She immediately changed her clothes and went into the kitchen to take the ingredients out of the refrigerator. There was still an hour before it was 8 o'clock. She didn't know if she would finish before he chome.

Because she needed to make ssoup, she brought out the crockpot.

She kept busy for the entire hour.

Close to 8 o'clock, the door was pushed open.

Charlotte was busy seasoning her soup, so she didn't pay much attention to it. She raised her head when her vision darkened.

Shane stood in front of her with a sullen expression. He had already taken off his suit jacket and held it in his hand. He had probably been very impatient as he undid his tie, because his collar was a mess. Charlotte put down her spoon and walked to his side. She took his clothes and placed them on the clothes rack. She said with her back facing him, "Dinner will be ready in a bit." However, there was no response to her words.

Charlotte turned around suspiciously and saw that Shane was still in the ΟΠΙ sposition as before. He leaned Ο against the table in the open kitchen, his elbows resting on the table. His expression was cold and indifferent. "What's wrong?" she asked carefully.

Was he... angry? Charlotte rarely saw him like this. He looked like he was suppressing his anger in silence. It made her feel scared. "Rick cto your office today to talk about a contract?" Oh, it was because of this.

Like RICH WOMEN? X These women desperately want a mature men! Charlotte let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Yes, 200,000 tons of maple syrup is a huge deal for us JOIN NOW *Waming these rich women will persue you.
