Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 156

Charlotte tidied up her documents and rubbed her stiff shoulders.

Shortly after returning to the company, she had finished preparing the materials for tomorrow's meeting, so she had the whole afternoon to rest.

It was the first time that she had such a comfortable afternoon since she returned home.

Next, she only had to prepare the information and data needed for the reporters within three days. Although she didn't know when Shane would give her the documents, it was good to prepare beforehand.

A day later.

Shane asked Cole to send the documents over.

Charlotte looked at the words on it and couldn't help but tremble. As long as this notarization was publicized, she could get the shares of the Emerson Corporation.

That transfer agreement that was torn up by Elaine didn't matter anymore.

He was really helping her out.

Then why did he have to break the contract? Charlotte felt slightly conflicted. She shook her head and forced herself not to think about those matters anymore.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

She was pulled back to reality by the ringtone of her mobile phone.

She picked up. "Hello?"

"Cole only said that you've received the documents?"

It was Shane. Charlotte's fingers tightened.

"Yes, that's right."

"It's been 15 minutes since you got the documents."

Charlotte didn't understand what he was implying. After being stunned for a moment before suddenly realizing that he might be waiting for her to thank him.

She lowered her head and her lips couldn't help but quirk up at the corners. "But I haven't finished reading them yet. I was planning to call you after I finish."

"Oh?"

"Thank you." Her voice was very soft.

The phone's end call tone announced that the person on the other side had hung up.

Charlotte looked at her own face reflecting off the pitch-black screen, her fingers burning hot.

Strangely, it was just an ordinary "thank you". Why was she blushing?

Charlotte put down her phone and entered work mode. But after a few hours, Rick sent his special assistant to get her for rehearsal.

When Charlotte stood at the venue of the press conference.

Only then did she realize that Shane had come to the company and told Rick about this matter, because he might have been hoping for Rick to settle this matter himself.

He was not sure if she would tell Rick about the document, so he directly let Rick know and made Rick help her.

At that moment.

Charlotte didn't know whether she should be thanking Rick, who was in front of her, or Shane, who did everything silently without letting her know.

After some rehearsals, Rick corrected some parts of Charlotte's speech.

"Of course, you should also try not to mention your mother's name." Rick's words made Charlotte extremely unhappy. She was puzzled, "Why?"

"Your mother is not an Emerson, and now even your father is dead. For a woman who is not an Emerson, a late former director of the Emerson Corporation and you, who have broken ties with the Emerson family..."

Rick didn't say the rest.

Charlotte's face was as pale as paper. She silently nodded her head, her mood extremely down.

She knew that Rick didn't mean any harm. He was simply helping her, but this bloody fact still made her uneasy.

Rick held her shoulder gently with a faint smile gracing the corner of his mouth. "According to this document, your mother had been worried about your life since ten years ago. At that time, she already had no trust in your father, the Emerson Corporation and the Emerson family. When you become stronger, you can counterattack in other ways. But now, you can only accept it."

"Brother Rick, what would you do if you were the one who comes face-to-face with this kind of thing one day?" Her eyes were shining.

He didn't know whether it was because she was being expectant of his answer, or because of the tears already welled up in her eyes.

Rick moved his long fingers to her cheek and muttered to herself, "You fool, how did you think I made it this far?"

He was just defending Anne against everything Charlotte was facing now.

Of course, he didn't mind helping to defend Charlotte once again.

If sacrifice was needed for a happy life, he was willing to become the main character in the tragedy.

"I'm sorry. I misunderstood what you meant just now."

"You said before that the world was merciless. You're right. In the face of capital, you either are a person with a heart controlled by a heartless person or become a ruthless person who has the right to speak up in the circle. But no matter which one it is, it is destined that you only can be heartless to most people."
