"Half a month?" Charlotte was stunned.
"Yeah, if we go for more than half a month, Braden's visa will expire."
It was only half a month. It was not that she was never coming back.
Charlotte suddenly felt that she was being too sensitive. Maybe she really needed a change in environment to have a good rest.
In the end, Charlotte nodded her head.
It might be better to leave this city.
If she couldn't get any news about him at all, it might be better.
Late at night, the moon was bright and stars were sparse. The layers of clouds were thick in the night sky.
Shane stood in front of the French window. There were a lot of documents around him.
Cole read them one by one. He was stunned by one of the last ones. It was a share transfer document.
"Why did you stop reading?" Shane's voice was hoarse and tired. It sounded like he hadn't had a good rest in days.
"You... are you really going to hand over a portion of your shares to Miss Charlotte? Haven't you already ended your business relationship with her?"
"So?"
Cole took a step forward and said, "Mr. Fuller, from the time I started working for you, I have been absolutely loyal to you. Everything I have done, everything I think about, has been for the sake of you and the company."
Shane leaned over, picked up the glass on the coffee table and swirled it gently. As he looked at the light brown whiskey inside, his eyes flashed. In the end, he drank up all the wine in one gulp.
The safest way was to give the shares to Charlotte.
No one in the world would expect that he would give his shares to a woman who had nothing to do with him.
"The company has been under an unknown attack on our capital recently. You should know."
"Yes." Cole lowered his head. "According to the investigation, someone has been using international hot money to buy our shares."
International hot money referred to funds that didn't care about the country's profits. These capitalists didn't care about morality or ethics. They only wanted financial gain for themselves.
They had established a stable offshore system and won some beautiful financial battles in many countries. They had even laid waste to the real estate industry of those countries in one fell swoop.
Simply put, they were a group of mad dogs who only wanted money.
Now they had eyes on NC Company, they wanted to manipulate its stocks to take it down.
The only thing was...
Cole truly didn't understand. Why did it have to be Charlotte?
"You're quite familiar with Charlotte, aren't you?" Shane continued to ask.
"Yes, you asked me to investigate her in detail."
"Of all the people I know, she's the only one who won't check the equity transfer information regularly," Shane announced the reason.
"If that's the case..."
"I need an outsider who's completely unaware of what's going on."
Cole still felt that it was too dangerous. "Then you should choose Mrs. Fuller Senior."
Shane put down his wineglass.
She turned around to face the moon. His eyes suddenly turned cold.
Cole chewed his lower lip. "Mr. Fuller, I'm so..."
"Be careful of what you say."
Cole was shocked. He lowered his head even more.
At this time, Shane's phone rang.
He glanced at the screen and picked it up with a frown. "What's the matter?"
"You and Charlotte split up?" The woman on the other end of the phone didn't sound happy.
"As you wanted."
"Even if you broke up with her, it can't be because of Tiffany. What are the rumors saying? Tell me, did she use the past to emotionally manipulate you?" Raina's voice rose by an octave.
Shane replied calmly, "It's none of your business."
Raina sneered, "Your grandmother won't help you this time. You know how much she likes Sheryl. There is no way you are marrying Tiffany!"
"I thought you hated Charlotte?" Shane mocked her in a sarcastic tone.
"Yes, but I dislike Tiffany and her sister Heidi more."
Cole suddenly felt cold.
He just wanted to suggest that he should leave first. In any case, the documents had been checked.
With a "Bang-" sound, the glass exploded on the ground and shattered into many pieces.
In the sparse lighting, Cole could see that Shane's palm was full of glass shards.
He hadn't thrown the glass. Rather, he had squeezed it broken.
"What right do you have to mention her?"
"Oh, do you think you're the only one investigating the truth? Shane, let me do my duty and tell you: Your kidnapping definitely had something to do with the Allen family!"
"Tiffany is using you. I hate Charlotte because she gave birth to a child out of wedlock. But she's nice and her family's decent too. At least she doesn't want to hurt you!"
