Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 453

No, this was impossible. This was not true. How could she kill someone? She did not kill anyone; she did not!

Cole followed Charlotte and got into the car.

"Miss Charlotte, are we going to leave her alone?"

"The police will find her. If she wants to run, then let her. The airports are filled with our people. We'll see if she chooses to be punished by the law."

Cole listened and adjusted his spectacles. "I really don't know if you're becoming more like Mr. Fuller, or if you're better at managing these affairs for Mr. Fuller."

"I'm becoming more similar to him, but I'm only at one percent. I can't do what he has done, can I?"

"Miss Charlotte, Mr. Fuller has his reasons."

"Well, when the dust settles, I'll listen to his side of the story. Although I doubt that I'd understand any of it," Charlotte said as she leaned against her seat and closed her eyes. "Drive to Cassius's. I'll sleep for a while."

Cole assented and glanced at Charlotte. He couldn't help but let out a sigh.

She hadn't had a good rest in two days. Up until now, she was like a tireless machine showing up at different places.

Although...

It was nothing. Shane was basically like this, too. However, she was just a woman who needed to be protected.

Cole sighed again.

Cassius waited for a long time before a familiar car appeared. He immediately ran out, but it was not Charlotte who got out, but it was Cole.

He paused for a moment. "I'm Mr. Play, her assistant."

"Miss Charlotte fell asleep in the car and will get out in a while. Let me bring you up to speed."

"All right."

"We need you to sign a contract for an advertisement. The arrangement will be the same as before, but we'll add another ten million dollars. The only requirement is that you can't sign with anyone else. Even a contract of intent is deemed a breach of agreement with us. You'll have to pay 50 million dollars in penalty fees."

Cassius had been listening with his head down. He knew Charlotte's visit was to talk about the endorsements and advertisements. But he wasn't expecting a remuneration package of this magnitude.

"I won't take the ten million dollars. You can just draft a contract without the money," Cassius replied.

"Sorry, this is Miss Charlotte's decision. Mr. Cassius, please don't refuse the money. Put your eggs in different baskets and spread your money in different investments. With the added bonus from other advertisements, you can be the voice of the entertainment industry."

"What can ten million do in the industry?" Cassius asked.

With his paycheck of tens of millions of dollars, it was still not enough for an investment. Nowadays, financing a film required up to hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Mr. Cassius, have you ever thought about your next step if someone were to give you ten million dollars?"

"To manage or invest in it."

"That's right. Why don't you invest that money in the entertainment industry? You're familiar with the industry after all. You would rather put that money in the sham of a financial industry than to invest it in the industry?"

Cassius was speechless.

He knew the industry like the back of his palm, that's why he also knew that investing in it was a fool's behavior. But on the contrary, if he were a senior shareholder, investing in the stock market would not be the wisest idea. If he were an investor, he would know which investment idea was a bottomless pit or a cash cow.

In other words.

He just needed to invest in the projects he was confident in. That was enough.

"I understand, Mr. Play. I'll think of a way."

"You don't have to be so polite with me. I was just softening you up for a talk with Miss Charlotte later. By the way, could you please make a cup of coffee?" This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Okay, I'll go now."

Cassius hastened back to his home, and Cole got back into the car again.

Just then, Charlotte yawned, "What did you say to that silly kid?"

"He said he didn't want the money, so I talked some sense into him."

"You've always been trustworthy," Charlotte said with a smile and yawned once again.

"Why don't you go back home and rest? This thing with Cassius can be resolved tomorrow." "There's no time. I have two meetings tomorrow from noon until evening. If I don't solve the problem today, then tomorrow's affairs will be delayed." Charlotte rubbed her temples. She didn't want to be so tired, but there were only twenty-four hours in a day. There was too much on her plate to deal with, how could she rest?

Cole took off his suit jacket and draped it on her shoulders. "Do you want to sleep for a little while longer? I've asked Cassius to make coffee. You can head in to drink it."

"I'm fine." Charlotte held on to his jacket and felt a little embarrassed. "Sorry for the inconvenience. You've helped Shane for so many years, but now he's in trouble and you have to follow me. You haven't taken some time for yourself, have you?"

"I'm fine. We're used to it." Cole smiled.

"Yes, we are."

We were used to it.

Cole felt suffocated by those words, like his entire body was being battered. He lowered his head to regain his composure.

Charlotte sat for a while. After making sure she was not going to faint, she stood up and said, "Let's head in. I know the layout of Cassius's house. In addition to the master bedroom, there are three more guest rooms for us to rest in. We'll

stay here tonight and you can send me to my meetings in the morning."

"When you are in a meeting-"

"Go back home and take a rest," Charlotte interrupted. "Then pick me up around seven in the evening. You'll take the morning and afternoon off. Even if you don't sleep, you should relax a little."

Cole sighed. "Yes."

Charlotte and Cole stepped inside Cassius's home.

Cassius strode over with a coffee pot and said, "The coffee is ready. You can have a taste. If it doesn't suit your preference, I can make a fresh pot."

"It's fine." Charlotte poured a cup and added a slice of lemon. "I'm here to talk about your future in the entertainment industry. I'm sure you'd think that ten million dollars don't amount to a hill of beans, but have you thought about one thing?"

"What?" Cassius put down his cup and sat down.

"For 10,000 dollars a month, you can hire a fledgling songwriter. They may be lacking experience, but they could make it up with raw talent. And you can hire a thousand people like them for ten million dollars."

Cassius was stunned.

"You can even find people from other industries. Those brilliant songwriters are not necessarily in the industry yet, they might be meandering in life somewhere. You could nurture these diamonds in the rough and support them."

"I had a different thought in mind when you first mentioned the industry." Cassius scratched his head.

"It's the same for actors and actresses. Some of them don't even have the chance to go to a professional college, but it doesn't mean they are untalented. You have to find them, that's why I

reestablished your career in advertising and endorsement. I needed you to make the most money in the shortest time, and then take all the time you need to discover these people."

"I got it!" Cassius clenched his fist. "I can do it."

"But at the same time, don't neglect your acting and singing skills. Don't forget songwriting as well."

Cassius nodded. "I understand."

"There's one more thing," Charlotte added unhurriedly.
