Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 151

The rescue operations lasted for half an hour, and the wounds on Rick's body had undergone simple treatment.

The police arrived at the scene and brought those who had not lost their vital signs yet back to the city to record their statements.

Charlotte's mental state was not very stable. Rick had been taking care of her the entire time.

They arrived at the police station.

Rick tried to talk to the police so that Charlotte would suffer less. Looking at the fact that she was a woman, and that she was in a trance, the police agreed to let her not provide a statement.

Charlotte sat on a plastic chair at the entrance, her mind full of the flesh and blood scattered across the road. She still remembered that there was a dismembered arm...

Her face suddenly turned pale, and she felt like retching again.

"Secretary Em... No, Miss Charlotte?" A pleasantly surprised voice rang out.

Charlotte raised her head, puzzled, and was stunned.

She saw a man in a suit and leather shoes, with a cold expression. His gaze swept across her face casually and finally fell on her injured arm.

Charlotte instinctively hid her injured arm. She stood up and tried to avoid the two of them. However, before she could even take a few steps, she fell to the ground due to her weak legs.

She closed her eyes tightly.

The expected pain did not come. She opened her eyes carefully and saw a pair of eyes that she was too familiar with.

"You're injured." His voice was still as low as ever. His attitude towards her was lukewarm, as it had been half a month ago.

How could he act as if nothing had happened at all?

Charlotte gulped. She clutched the lower part of her skirt tightly and moved her body backwards.

"I'll walk you out..."

"Lottie, we're allowed to go back."

At this moment, Rick and several policemen came out.

He didn't show much reaction when he saw Charlotte and Shane standing together. Instead, Rick naturally walked over to Charlotte and supported her, saying softly, "Anne is urging us to go back, saying that we need to examine your injuries carefully."

Charlotte felt an exceptionally cold gaze on her. She nodded stiffly and pulled back her arm Shane was holding.

"Mr Jane, there was no mistake in the international rumour this time." Shane looked down and glanced at his hand.

"I'm looking forward to a showdown in the country with you, Mr Fuller."

"There is no need to use the word 'match' if it's just you alone." He was implying that he looked down on Rick.

However, Rick's lips quirked upwards slightly. "Of course I didn't come back alone. You said you would help me, right? Lottie?"

Charlotte nodded blankly.

Shane's gaze deepened. "Mr Jane, do you trust a woman who lives off a person while helping his opponent?"

"Lives off a person while helping his opponent?" Charlotte was shocked.

"Was he talking about me?"

Charlotte raised her head immediately, "What right do you have to say that to me?"

Shane sneered with no intention of explaining. At this time, a woman dressed casually ran into the police station and hugged Shane's arm. "Brother Shane, are you all right?"

Shane raised his hand and shook his fingers, indicating that he was fine. At the same time, he pulled his arm away.

"Brother Shane." The woman acted coyly and stamped her feet lightly. When she saw Charlotte, she was stunned for a moment and finally greeted her with a smile, "Miss Charlotte, it's been a long time."

Rick felt Charlotte trembling all over beside him.

He held her with an arm and said, "Sorry, we're leaving now, and we don't want to make small talk. Please get out of the way."

"You guys..." Tiffany's eyes lit up.

She had long heard that Shane had an abnormal relationship with Charlotte. She wanted to get rid of this woman, but she didn't expect that she left the country on her own, and came back this time with a man.

"Humph, not even an average man would be able to stand the fact that his woman has someone else by her side." Tiffany thought.

"Let alone God's favored son like Shane. Charlotte couldn't be considered a threat anymore."

"This is my fiance, Rick."

There was a dead silence.

Rick looked at the petite woman beside him in shock. She was grabbing on to his arm and used up most of her strength to say this sentence.

He was so happy that even the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up. However, he also knew that the reason why Charlotte had said this was because Shane was right in front of him.

She was using him to draw a clear line between Shane and herself.

"Interesting," Rick thought.

"What on earth did Shane do to hurt her to the extent that she was so haunted by the thought of repeating her mistakes?"

"Congratulations," Shane said coolly.

Rick left with Charlotte.

When Charlotte passed Shane, her arm was suddenly grabbed by Shane, and then warmth enveloped her ear. "I'll wait for you to beg me to allow the Jane Corporation to develop in the

country. We'll wait and see."

Charlotte's eyes widened as she looked back at Shane in disbelief.

He crossed his arms, the tip of his nose and chin raised upwards. His eyes were downcast, cold and at a higher position than her.

This expression could only possibly be present on the face of the creator of the universe.

He was a sovereign who had descended the world, and there was no chink in his armour.

Charlotte's heart started to palpitate.

"What kind of monster was he?" She thought.

On the way back to the city.

Rick sensed that there was something wrong with Charlotte's mood, so he asked, "Did Shane scare you?"

Charlotte shook her head.

"You were looking at him like a rabbit looking at a big bad wolf."

"This description is a bit horrifying. Hares are the prey of wolves."

"Do you think Shane can't handle you, or do you think you have the ability to resist him?" Rick's words were straight to the point.

Rick knew that she couldn't explain herself, so he explained, "Shane is very excellent. Not only locally, but even international capitals have to fear him. It is also because of this that he has offended many, and countless people want him to fall from his current position."NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Charlotte lowered her head. She interlocked her fingers, her shoulders trembling slightly. "Now, are we able to fight against him?"

"He should not be interested to care about me, but it doesn't mean that he is not interested in you."

"He was the one who wanted to divorce me. How could he still be interested in me?"

"Let me tell you something." Rick stepped on the brakes at the red light, his amber eyes glinting. "Shane transferred you twenty per cent of NC shares in his name half a month ago.

"What?"

Rick continued, "Now international hot money is suppressing him. You have two choices. Firstly, you could cooperate with them, and ruin Shane's reputation. Or, you could make use of the bargaining chip you're holding on to negotiate with Shane and take back what belongs to you."

"He doesn't owe me anything..." Charlotte lowered her head.

Deep inside, she was still a gentle, kind and warm-hearted person.

Rick shook her head and said, "This time, it's the Emerson family who is going against Shane. Although it's obvious that the Emerson family can't shake NC at all and it's just a leader in this scheme, as long as you make good use of it, you have a good chance to get the Emerson Corporation back."

If she could get the Emerson Corporation back, Elaine would be fired. Then she could investigate the cause of her mother's death smoothly.

"What should I do?"

"My fiancee, I am happy to give you advice, but the premise is that you can't fall for Shane in the process of approaching him, otherwise..." Rick smiled meaningfully.

To Charlotte, Rick was not jealous.

He was reminding her that she could feel free to use the title of his "fiancee", which had been publicized.

At the same time, when she was facing Shane, she had to try to forget the past as much as possible. She couldn't be affected and controlled by him.

One wrong step would lead to a tragic fall.

Rick was reminding her to keep true to herself, not to influence her future plans for the sake of previous feelings and emotions.

Charlotte took in a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I understand."

Rick gazed deeply at her and said nothing after.

On the top floor of the NC Company.

Shane stood in front of the French window, and Braden stood behind him.

"So did Christopher just sell his shares and disappeared?" Braden gritted his teeth angrily. "What was he thinking?"

"Investigate him."

"We don't even have his complete information after so many years. It's all my fault. I trusted this guy too much."

Shane turned to one side and patted him on the shoulder. "I trusted the wrong person. It's my responsibility."

Braden sighed angrily. "Good job. Now Christopher has messed up the entire internal situation. The international hot money and the Emerson family are looking at us covetously. Rick has also returned."

At the mention of the word "Rick", Shane's eyes glinted with a dark spark of anger
