Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 192

"I, I'll think about it," Charlotte muttered.

"I don't have the time to wait any longer. Give me an exact time. Do you want to stay by my side or leave that dangerous man?"

Tears started to well up in her eyes.

Rick's heart had softened, but he forced himself to be cruel and asked straightforwardly, "It's not that you can't let me go, you can't let him go. Why? Do you want to be treated by him... like this?"

She shook her head. Of course, she didn't.

"Well, then you deserve this don't you?"

"..." Charlotte felt no need to explain this further.

"Can you make my heart ache even more?"

Bang-

Rick smashed the table beside her.

Charlotte curled up into a ball and hugged herself tightly.

There was no harm in marrying Rick.

He treated her so well and he liked Sheryl so much. If she married him, she could manage the Jane Corporation and be his handy partner.

He could go and manage the Jane Corporation overseas when he gets busy. She could help him hold the fort here and when the branches here became more stable, she would go manage other new areas.

There was nothing wrong.

In fact, it was a very good and perfect plan.

Rick didn't care about her past. She would definitely rely on his tenderness in the future.

He was good on the inside out, she had no reason not to like him.

The facts were clear when she rationally thought of the pros and cons. However, she still couldn't make up her mind.

Could it be she was the type that wants the best of both worlds? The more she couldn't have something, the more she yearned for it. She held on tight to her back-up while loving another man.

It was true.

She admitted that she had no self-respect.

Charlotte whimpered as she covered herself under the blanket.

Perhaps before Shane sent Tiffany away, she could hold back her feelings. But now, she had no other way.

She didn't know if marrying Rick was a choice or an escape.

Rick walked out of the room.

He watched Lottie curl up in pain through the glass.

He clenched his fists as his eyes turned red.

He didn't want to make such a blunt and unpleasant statement. However, he thought Charlotte wouldn't have any hesitation since she was raped by Shane.

Was he really that bad in comparison to Shane?

"Sir, here's what happened in the past few days."

Rick took over the documents and read through them silently. Once he was done, he asked, "Who's the person going by this username, 'Wild forest'?"

"According to the IP addresses of our investigation, it should be Zoe Watson."

"Zoe Watson... can you make an appointment?"

"She tried to get in touch with us that night but we were on a flight so..." His assistant lowered his head.

From the information he obtained,

Charlotte wasn't very close to Shane. Her actions could be considered as helping Shane out of desperation.

If it hadn't been for the incident with Christopher, Charlotte wouldn't have anything to do with Shane.

Obviously, Charlotte didn't offer herself up to Shane.

Rick raised his hand to rub his eyebrows. "Did you find any information of them checking into a hotel?"

"Shane checked into a room alone but according to surveillance they rarely stayed in the same room. Maybe they didn't want to interfere with each other's business. However, after the night of the product launch, Shane left with Charlotte."

"Why?"

"Uh, I've asked around. Some said that Shane looked quite upset. Also, Charlotte helped them persuade Rex to continue working together."

Huh.

Rick suddenly smiled.

The assistant did not understand and asked in confusion, "Sir?" "Charlotte wanted to help that b*stard resolve the issue with Rex but he thought she was protecting Christopher." Rick clenched his fist and continued, "He's just a proud, arrogant and selfish b*stard."

"How did you figure that out?"

"I know Lottie but I know Shane even better."
