Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 206

"I'm sorry, did my father steal your woman?" Charlotte retorted with a smile.

All of a sudden, there was a dead silence.

No one had expected that Charlotte would talk back. Not even Avery and Shane.

They all felt that in the face of such an unreasonable and disgusting man, the rational response was to ignore him and let it be.

"Are you provoking me?" Mr. Kent slammed his hand on the table. "You're younger than me, how dare you talk to me like that?"

"I'm sorry but I've never seen an elder who is as shameless as you. It's bad enough that you take advantage of your own seniority, your breath even stinks like rotten eggs."

Avery couldn't help but laugh.

Mr. Kent pointed at Charlotte and said, "I have to teach you a good lesson today?"

Charlotte had never been afraid of anything since young. She crossed her arms and looked at him with a cold smile. It was as if he could do whatever he wanted but she would not be intimidated.

As the president, Ashley felt that it was not appropriate for them to do this but he also did not like Avery.

Who in the world would like Avery?

Thus, he let Mr. Kent do whatever he wanted with Charlotte.

Just as Charlotte prepared herself to face Mr. Kent, she was suddenly pulled into a warm embrace.

Charlotte felt as if the whole world was spinning. In an instant, she could only breathe in the scent around her.

She froze for a moment before raising her head subconsciously.

Shane had appeared behind her at some point.

He stretched out his hand to cover her eyes. As she was about to struggle away, she heard a muffled groan from Mr. Kent. She stopped moving.

Then she heard Shane's cold voice next to her.

"How dare you bully my people?"

Charlotte's body stiffened.

Ashley immediately stood up with a smile when he realized the situation had got out of control. "Mr. Fuller, I think there's been a misunderstanding. Mr. Kent didn't know Miss Charlotte is with you."

"You may not know she is on my team, but don't you know my company is working with Avery?"

"This..." Ashley quickly picked up a handkerchief to wipe away the sweat on his forehead.

Who would have thought that Shane would speak up for Avery?

Shane had always been known as a cold and apathetic person.

At this time, Elaine stood up to take charge of the situation. She wanted to play nice. "Mr. Fuller, there's no need to make the situation worse because of a woman. Why don't we sit down and talk it through? Besides, Mr. Kent has already suffered the consequences of your anger. What do you think?"

"Christopher, take care of your b*tch."

Shane didn't even bother to give Elaine any attention at all.

Elaine's face turned dark in an instant.

Christopher smiled lightly and stood up. He gently grabbed Elaine's arm and pulled her back then forced her to sit back down. "Sorry, Mr. Fuller. Miss Elaine is a little slow-witted."

"Yes, yes, yes, our people are too ignorant. Mr.

Fuller, please forgive them."

The whole matter should have ended by then.

However, Shane looked down at the woman in his arms and asked gently, "Are you happy with the result?"

Charlotte shook her head in a daze.

"Then let's go."

Shane and Charlotte left together.

The people who were left at the table stared at each other.

This news quickly traveled around.

Soon, the news reached Rick's ears.

Rick put down the document on the desk and said with a straight face, "I see."

"Young Master, our company has a complete transportation system. There's no need to attend this sort of meeting at all. Can you inform Miss Charlotte to not..." The assistant suggested.

"The NC Company also has a complete transport system. Why did he join the Airline Union?"

"Is it... for Miss Charlotte?"

Rick sneered. "You've worked for me so many years, do you only care for gossip?"

"Sorry, sir!" The assistant immediately apologized.

"On the surface, the Airline Union may seem like a group of weaklings coming together. In reality, it's a group of strong competitors teaming up. It's not easy to get in. Shane must have sacrificed something unexpected if he had the guts to leave the table with Lottie alone."

"Then..."

"He wants to take over the Airline Union then takes control of Christopher's networks and Ashley's funds."

The assistant came to a realization. "That's why he needs help."

"That's right. He needs Avery and Charlotte's support so I should say the Jane Corporation picked up some benefits from this too."

The assistant sighed a breath of relief.
