Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 157

"The person you should thank is Shane," Rick said bluntly.

He was a man of his word and didn't want to take credit for others' work. He had helped, but not as much as Shane had.

Charlotte still didn't understand, so Rick simply told her Shane's plans.

After his explanation, Rick ended profoundly with, "He may not necessarily be merciless to you."

"He might not be heartless to many people, but I'm different. I can be ruthless to a particular person." Charlotte thoroughly understood his theory and counterattacked with ease.

"You've gotten over it?"

"That would make me seem so heartless."

Rick smiled.

Charlotte walked out with him. "I can't talk about getting over it, but I don't have any feelings for Shane."

That moment, the door opened.

Cole was holding flowers at the door.

Charlotte was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said, "Are you here to congratulate me for not embarrassing myself?"

Cole nodded while Charlotte took the bouquet.

Shane was standing next to Cole, his hands behind his back. He looked at Charlotte.

"Thank you, Mr. Fuller," she said sincerely.

"I will do everything I promised. You're not the only one who has to meet the terms."

"I know."

They lapsed into silence again since they couldn't agree with each other.

Charlotte took the flowers and left, but Rick stayed behind. "You've already come with gifts, why didn't you give them to her?"

Shane lowered his hand and handed Rick a small box. "I don't need it anymore. If you like it, you can give it to Anne."

"Mr. Fuller, don't you get any ideas about my younger sister. She's just married your friend."

"I just thought you wouldn't be interested in anything I give you."

"So why can't I give it to someone else?"

"You know very well why."

Rick smiled and said, "Fine, I will give this gift to Anne, maybe Sheryl will like it too."

After he finished speaking, he walked to keep up with Charlotte.

Cole couldn't understand. "Mr. Fuller, you spent all day yesterday to buy it overseas. Now you're just going to give it to someone else just like that?"

"Didn't she say that she has no feelings for me?"

"But..."

"Or do you think that I should be like some college graduate and beg for a woman's attention?" Shane looked at the person next to him coldly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Fuller. I definitely won't mention this to anyone else."

"You'd better not."

Cole's entire body trembled. He wanted to cry, but no tears came out.

Shane was definitely jealous. He had given her the flowers, but not the gift. That was why Shane had been terrorizing Cole.

When it came to Ms. Emerson, Mr. Fuller had always been like this.

When Charlotte returned home, she went back to sleep.

She needed to make full use of her time to sleep. As long as she could, she would sleep. If she couldn't, then she would create an opportunity to sleep.

Anne originally wanted to take her out for a chat, but Anna changed her mind once she saw Charlotte looking like that.

As soon as she left Charlotte's room, Anne was stopped by Rick. He took out a box and said, "Give this to Lottie."

"Is it from you?"

"No, it's from Shane."

"..." The corners of Anne's mouth were pulled up. "Rick, are you sending a gift for your love rival?"

"Charlotte said that she didn't have any feelings for Shane, and Shane happened to hear that. The gift he had prepared was probably expensive, so throwing it away would definitely be inappropriate. He asked me to give it to you, but..."

At this point, Anne had already opened the box.

It was a purple diamond brooch.

Anne was stunned. "Purple diamonds? Rick, purple diamonds don't exist, right?"

"Y Country recently extracted a 9.17-carat ore. After refining it, it should be about the same size as the purple diamond on that brooch."

"How much would that cost?"

"The pink diamond mine discovered a few years ago was about 200 million dollars. If you adjust based on size, this should be at least 20 million dollars. It's a collectible for sure."

Charlotte could never have imagined that the value of Shane's brooch would be much higher than the sum of all the shares she had just obtained.
