Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 190

One minute passed.

Rex was very surprised. "Does Shane know about this?"

Charlotte smiled bitterly, "I wouldn't have come here alone if I could say these words before him. I'm sorry for lying to you but we had no choice."

"I have a question."

"Please go ahead."

"You didn't even flinch when he kissed you in public. The hickeys on your neck were obviously from these few days. You say you are Mr. Jane's fiancee but Mr. Fuller..." Rex shook his head. "You are not a simple woman."

Charlotte stretched out her hand and gently touched her neck. She lowered her eyes and said, "Mr. Rex, I've never said this to anyone but I guess I can tell you."

"Oh?"

"As long as he's happy, I don't mind being berated by people." She suddenly looked up at Rex with determination. "As long as I have a way to help him, I'll never stand by."

"What's the reason?"

"I... maybe I love him very much."

That's why.

She was sad after the divorce, she wanted to help him after returning to the country. She even slept with him after knowing he wanted to protect Tiffany for Heidi's sake.

Rex laughed and shook his head. "If my daughter were still alive, I'm afraid she would be ten years older than you so you all are just like children to me. I don't want to be involved in all these twists and turns. I just want to know where the ring is."

Charlotte opened her bag and took out a small blue box.

Rex took out the ring from the box and nodded with satisfaction, "take this ring."

"Huh?" She was stunned.

"I hope that you can take this ring and find your true love. If it's Shane, I will give him an identical ring tailored for men. If you marry someone else, you can give Shane the ring and ask him to return it to me. How does that sound?"

How does that sound?

Charlotte and the others were all stunned.

This ring was worth more than 300,000 dollars.

Although she could afford to buy it, Rex was being too generous by giving her the ring.

She took a deep breath and refused to keep the ring. She returned the box to Rex and sighed, "I will never be with Shane. He has someone he loves, I..."

"Someone he loves? Does he know how to love others?"

Rex's voice was full of surprise.

Charlotte was speechless upon hearing that.

Rex laughed again as he put the ring back into the box and handed it to her. "Just think of it like a bet. I'm betting 300,000 dollars that you won't be together. If I won, you'll have to return the ring to me. If I lose, I'll pay you another 300,000 dollars. It's a sure win."

"By the way, I think Shane didn't manage to tell you that for this true love series, you'll have to work with a male star. So you'll have to keep this ring."

"What about the other ring..."

"I'll take it with me. This is my agreement with Mr. Fuller."

Charlotte could only sigh and agree to this winning bet.

He left the compartment and returned to the living room.

Rex immediately saw the chipped off teacup. "Mr. Fuller, you have a very good assistant."

"Why do you say that?"

"It's nothing. Let's continue with the announcement."

Shane already expected that Charlotte had straightened everything out with Rex when they hadn't come out after one minute had passed.

He didn't say anything but just nodded slightly and led the way for Rex.

Since the issue with the ring had passed, Rex openly discussed the truth at the opening event. He mentioned he admired Shane's fast reaction at the moment and hoped the ring thief would not make the same mistakes again.

"My God, it was all an act?"

"Mr. Fuller was so serious about that kiss..."

"He was even smiling."

"It's such a pity that Mr. Fuller isn't an actor."

"No, I've always felt something was wrong," one of the employees said. "It is said Mr. Rex doesn't tolerate those who aren't trustworthy. His wife's affair had caused the death of his daughter which was why he hates betrayal the most."

His words caused an uproar among the audience.

That's right.

This was considered fraud, wasn't it?

But Mr. Rex forgave Mr. Fuller?

It was all too unexpected.
