Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 154

Charlotte nodded. "That's what he said, but I don't know if that's true."

"By telling you this during this critical moment, he has obviously predicted that you would tell me. Thus, he might be reminding me not to get involved in this matter, otherwise, I will lose more than what I gain." Rick came to a conclusion.

"Why would he remind you, though?"

"Because his path is different from mine. We may cooperate in the future. If we become enemies, first of all, the risk and investment he is facing will be too large. Secondly, I don't have enough energy now, and his words are meant to be insurance for our relationship."

Charlotte had originally thought that Shane's words were just polite remarks.

She didn't expect Rick to be able to analyse so much information from such a simple sentence.

She sighed, "Mr Jane is really Zhuge Liang reborn."

"In the novel, there was a saying questioning why Zhuge Liang was born although there was already someone like Zhou Yu. However, no one knows that Zhou Yu has never lost to Zhuge Liang, and he did not have to be self-deprecating. So, perhaps I am Zhou Yu instead," Rick smiled.

"Um..."

Charlotte blinked.

She only knew that Zhuge Liang was a great strategist, but did not know much about history.

Rick looked at her confused look and sighed. "Didn't you study well about the history of the three kingdoms when you were in high school?"

"How can I still remember that?"

"Zhou Yu is both a strategist and a general. He is a sharp spear, a roundabout spear, and a shield for defence. It's a pity that like Guo Jia, he died too young. The reason why Zhuge Liang's reputation is known all over the world is because of luck. He can only be the best only when other strategists better than him have died."

"So... you would rather die young as an allrounder like Zhou Yu than be someone like Zhuge Liang?" Charlotte asked tentatively.

"Well, it's an insult to me to live on without ambition."

Charlotte couldn't help but show respect for Rick.

Even if it cost him his life, he had to show off his brightest colours. Although he might not necessarily be remembered, he was still the protagonist of his own story.

He was just that cool.

Charlotte's mood suddenly lifted, and she ate three pieces of cake in a row.

After going home and taking a shower, she wanted to sleep comfortably, but her phone rang.

When she saw that it was Shane, she was stunned for a moment.

"Why is he calling me so late at night??" She thought

"Mr. Fuller?"

"What did Rick say?"

Charlotte was silent for a moment before replied said, "He said that he wants to be Zhou Yu."

Shane chuckled lightly and said, "That's right. He's stronger than I thought."

"Am I the mouthpiece between you and Rick?" Charlotte was unhappy.

"How about I give you a benefit?"

'What is it?' "I've found the documents your mother stored in the notary office. You just need to read them out loud in front of the media."

Charlotte fell silent.

"Is this the first step in our cooperation?" Charlotte thought.

Although she didn't know what Shane was going to do, she really wanted to know what the documents left by her mother were about.

"Alright."

"I'll arrange it for you."

After this call, Shane never called again, and Charlotte didn't see him again.

If it wasn't for the call record, she would have almost thought that it was a mere dream.

The Jane Corporation was getting on the right track and a lot of work needed to be done. Charlotte gradually forgot about this matter.

This day, just as she finished recalling the past, the secretary knocked on the door. "Ms Emerson, there are two gentlemen outside looking for you."

"Looking for me? Who are they?" Charlotte's social circle was small. If someone came looking for her, they should have informed her

in advance.

"One is called Mr Fuller, and the other is Mr Play."

Cole and Shane?

Charlotte's pupils constricted abruptly as she said, "Bring me to them."

"Yes, miss."

The secretary pushed open the door of the conference room.

Shane was sitting in the main seat, and Cole was standing behind him. Rick was sitting opposite them.

The door opened.

Rick looked back at her with a smile. "Is the meeting over?"

"Yes. Is so tiring," Charlotte said as she sat down beside him.

After pouring tea for Shane, Rick took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and passed it to Charlotte.
