Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 207

Shane took the phone away from Charlotte and asked Sheryl to explain what happened again.

Shane turned on the loudspeaker on the call and handed back the phone to Charlotte. "Take this. Stay in contact with Sheryl. I'll go look for them."

"Alright." Charlotte agreed.

"Mommy, daddy will definitely help us!" Sheryl suddenly stopped worrying.

Charlotte smiled bitterly.

Of course, she knew Shane would be able to solve the problem but asking Shane to solve Anne and Rick's problem...

Ugh!

At the end of the day, she was still too weak. She couldn't even think of a solution to her problems.

Shane quickly found out Anne and Rick's location through the GPS system. He sent the location to Braden and Charlotte, then sent some people to search for them.

Charlotte tried to comfort Sheryl. She was about to rush over but Shane stopped her.

"It's too dangerous for you to go alone. I'll go with you," Shane offered.

"You've already sent someone over..." Charlotte was trying to say this had nothing to do with Shane. She was already very grateful for his help. Why did he have to go personally?

"Rick's shares are still with me. If the kidnapper wants him to hand over the Jane Corporation's shares, I'll have to be there."

Wait a minute.

Charlotte looked at Shane in shock. "What did you say?"

Shane looked at her thoughtfully. "Rick sacrificed everything for the sake of romance. That includes your engagement."

At that moment, Charlotte felt so dizzy as if her world was turning.

The meaning behind Shane's words was clear, Rick had made some agreement with him to ensure the engagement ceremony would go on smoothly.

The price Rick paid was the shares he owned.

"How much of his shares did he give you?" Charlotte asked, her voice was trembling.

"All of them."

She closed her eyes and succumbed to fate.

What a joke.

That's just how Rick was.

"Let's go. Anne is still waiting for you."

"Shane... Can you return his shares to him?" Charlotte subconsciously grabbed onto his sleeve.

Shane turned around and looked at her trembling fingers. His eyes darkened and he asked sarcastically, "What's the price you're going to pay?"

"Do you want to work with me or sleep with me?"

In an instant, Charlotte let go of his sleeve.

Shane sneered mockingly and said, "Rick has sacrificed everything for you but your everything is still in the hands of someone else. So, what's the point of me returning the shares to him?"

Reality.

It was all too real.

Charlotte didn't even have the time to feel sad before she fell into despair.

Rick had given her everything but she didn't even know how to face him now let alone repay him.

Charlotte sat in Shane's car silently for the entire journey.

In a warehouse.

Rick was beaten to the extent that the corner of his mouth was bleeding and his face was slightly swollen.

Anne was blindfolded and gagged up before him. She was trembling in horror and fear.

"Well done, Rick Jane! You transferred all your shares right after you received my threat. Do you think I'd run out of ideas just like that?"

Bang!

A man who looked out of his mind whipped him.

Rick let out a muffled groan. His arm had already been beaten to the point it was all wounded.

"If you don't tell me who's holding your shares by today, you can die along with your sister! Hahaha..."

"Blake, you wouldn't have a clue where the shares are if you killed me." Rick looked at him with a sneer, his eyes were red and bloodied.

"It doesn't matter. I already have nothing to lose. At worst, I'll beat you to death and get sentenced to death. Hahahah, my life is worth nothing. If you died, it would be a real tragedy."

He was a lunatic.

Rick had given up all hope by this time.

He had only told Sheryl he was coming here. She's just a child. No matter how smart she was, she would not be able to save him.

Moreover, even if he told Blake the truth, he still wouldn't be able to escape.

He had been too impulsive. He rushed over without a second thought when he heard his sister was kidnapped.

He was too irrational.

After a few more beatings, Rick had lost the strength to speak. He didn't even react when a cold bucket of water was poured over him.
