Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 189

"Thank you. Sorry for the trouble," Charlotte said softly.

"If you play your part well, you can keep the 20% of shares." Shane took off his suit and sat beside the bed. "If not, you'll have to pay me 70 million. Hence, this is entirely an exchange. It's not a bother for me and you don't have to thank me."

Charlotte bit her lips. She was so nervous, she didn't know what to do.

Shane glanced at her with a cold but tender glimmer in his eyes as he pulled off his tie.

This matter was settled.

Charlotte hid in Shane's room during the day and attended all kinds of cocktail receptions with him at night.

Shane had someone buy her a chiffon mask so that no one could see her face clearly.

It was another night.

Shane was negotiating with his dealer about the newest product release. It was a new batch of fish oil health supplements for cats.

It was then did Charlotte find out that the NC Company's business had been expanded broadly after Christopher's return.

In order to control the company's shares, he had brought in a number of shareholders and finance.

This was due to the fact NC had long ago become an angel investor.

An angel investor refers to a high net-worth individual who invests in potential but risky businesses in exchange for equity.

Therefore, the capital brought by Christopher was from relatively large companies which undergo series A fundings.

The capital brought by the A fundings would usually be used to expand the company's business scale or to branch out into new industries.

NC has gained a strong foothold in many industries so there was no need for extra fundings. However, Christopher was a director who held more than half of the stocks so he was qualified to negotiate directly with the capital company.

Which was why,

selling cat's health supplement is nothing. Nobody would even be surprised if they opened a health-care nightclub someday.

Charlotte held the drink in her arms and slandered him in her mind.

Her phone suddenly vibrated.

A person by the alias 'Dark Forest' sent her a friend request, with a note: I have the answers to your questions.

She frowned and hesitated for some time before accepting the request.

'Dark forest' quickly sent her a video.

Inside, a man in a black windbreaker reached out for the blue box and took it. The man's features could be clearly seen in the video. It was Christopher who stole the ring.

Did Christopher try to frame her?

But why?

Charlotte bit her lips in confusion. 'I must tell Shane about this,' she thought.

She looked up to find Shane in the crowd but to no avail.

At this moment, her phone vibrated again.

Dark Forest: Shane will definitely help you out. The best way is to say he proposed to you with this ring.

Charlotte's heart skipped a beat as she replied,' Who are you?'

Dark Forest: That's none of your concern. Today, Christopher will expose Shane and tell everyone you are Rick's fiancee. The stock price will be greatly affected and Shane will be dismissed for lying.

Charlotte immediately typed her reply, 'What should I do?'

Dark Forest: I don't know. This has nothing to do with me.

Wait a minute,

there's something suspicious about this matter.

If this matter does not benefit 'Dark Forest' at all, why was he helping her? What was he trying to accomplish?' She thought.

If she came clean with Rex but Christopher doesn't do as 'Wild Forest' had said, then she would've destroyed the peace they had retained for these few days.

But, that made no sense.

Therefore, 'Dark Forest' sent her this video so she could directly show Rex that Christopher stole the ring.

Then,

Shane's partnership with Rex would not be affected and it would not seem irrational if she told Rex.

After some serious thought, Charlotte decided to head towards Rex's private lounge.
