Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 111

"I'm sorry, I really didn't know about this matter. I just got the news today, I..."

As soon as Anne finished speaking, Shane asked coldly.

"You never heard about it?"

Since the Fuller Group had a lot of affairs to handle, it was normal for Zoe to be too busy to bother with outside news. However, as far as he knew, Anne was not a person who isolated herself from the outside world. Now things seemed quite strange to him.

"No, I didn't."

Anne shook her head and immediately said, "I only heard that Mr. Emerson had suddenly gotten sick. He only passed away because of myocardial infarction."

"Shane, please investigate this for me."

Charlotte's weak voice came from where her head was lowered.

"Alright."

Shane said simply. There was no doubt that Shane had heard Charlotte speak.

Cole looked all over the place and finally found his missing superior in the front garden. As he panted, he said, "Mr. Fuller, everyone on the board of directors is here. When do you think we should start?"

Charlotte raised her head slightly and swept a glance at the few people standing around her. The corner of her mouth lifted up slowly, but there was still a bitter smile on her face.

"You can go. I'll be fine with Anne here with me. I don't want too many people here."

"Call me if you need anything."

Shane glanced at Charlotte, a little worried. He didn't leave until he received Anne's confirmation.

Charlotte didn't know how long she sat on the chair. When she raised her head, she saw that only a few mourners were left.

"You're still here."

Elaine snorted coldly. She no longer acted as coquettishly as she had before.

"Elaine, don't go too far. We still don't know how Mr. Emerson died. Don't think that you're hiding it very well."

Anne stood in front of Charlotte angrily and blocked Elaine's sight of Charlotte.

It was the first time that she had seen such a shameless woman. Anne hated her so much that she could not help but grit her teeth.

"Timothy died because he had a heart attack and his brain started bleeding. I didn't tell Lottie because I was following Timothy's wishes from before he died. After all, we have to respect the dead."

Elaine smiled and started fiddling with the hair by her ear. She waved her hand towards a spot not far away.

"Mrs. Emerson."

The butler respectfully placed his hands on his sides and bowed.

"Please get Mr. Jones the lawyer to come here."

Elaine found a trace of confusion and confusion in Charlotte's eyes. She was in a good mood as she took the lead and entered the living room.

After walking a few steps, she noticed that no one was following her. With a cold expression, she said, "Charlotte, don't you want to be there for the reading of your father's will?"

"Lottie..."

Anne felt distressed as she watched Charlotte stand up suddenly and unsteadily, she went forward to support her.

"I'm fine. Now that things have come to this point, I don't have anything to lose."

Anne accompanied every step of the way as Charlotte walked to an out-of-the-way room near the reception hall. When she saw Elaine's wicked expression, Anne suddenly felt like something bad was going to happen.

She did not believe that Elaine would be so good as to allow Lottie to be at the reading of the will. Unless...

Anne didn't dare to think about it, so she stood by with her eyebrows knitted and looked around.

"Miss Jane, this is the private affair of the Emerson family. Please don't get yourself involved."

"I'm sorry, I don't think it's troublesome, and I'm not afraid to hear about the Emerson family's affairs. This isn't something shameful, am I right?"

Anne deliberately emphasized the last few words, which successfully made Elaine's expression change.

The quiet room felt particularly strange. Anne unconsciously approached Lottie. Just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by the sound of footsteps outside the door.
