Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 221

The freezing breeze came one after another, each time chillier than the previous one.

Suddenly, Charlotte thought that the pain in her heart was actually not that big of a deal. She was simply not busy enough, and that was why she had so much time to be sad.

"Let's go back."

Shane opened his mouth and spoke after standing for a while.

Charlotte turned around with a firm gaze. "Thank you."

"Rick might fire you, it's better to make plans beforehand."

"He... probably won't, right?" Charlotte didn't believe it, but she wasn't sure either.

After all, she had only seen Rick, who was gentle and didn't care about gains and losses. She had no idea what he would become when he was angry and disappointed. However, she had done so much for Jane Corporation. He had no reason to sack her all of a sudden.

When Charlotte thought of that, she wasn't worried anymore and decided to just go with the

flow.

Back in the car, Charlotte's nearly frozen limbs were able to eventually warm up after reheating in front of the warmer.

Her gaze was transfixed on those people by the beach as she muttered to herself, "I don't know if they can recover after a night like this."

Shane drove the car in silence.

There was no response from Shane, so Charlotte turned to look at him. "Do you know who they're working for?"

"The partnership, me."

"You?" Charlotte was dumbfounded.

When Shane was talking about the partnership, she didn't think of it the other way. After all, Avery had told her that Shane didn't care much about the partnership, he simply attended all the meetings.

"Much surprised?"

"No, I just feel that you clearly know that it's hard for them, so why do you still order them to unload the cargo at night? Can't it be done the next morning?"

Charlotte thought that if the situation allowed, it would only be a matter of a few hours. It shouldn't be too big of a problem.

Unexpectedly, Shane abruptly stopped the car and looked at her with a frigid gaze. "Do you know what goods are on the ship?"

Charlotte hitched her breath and shook her head.

"Those were reagents. They have to be stored under a specific temperature and period of time as they have to be delivered from the laboratory to the ship in less than 30 minutes. Otherwise, all the goods will be scrapped."

The reagents were a special cargo in transportation.

The time and temperature should have to be calculated before leaving the laboratory.

That means, the temperature difference between day and night should also be calculated, and there was no way they could wait until the next morning.

Charlotte lowered her head in embarrassment. "I'm sorry. I should have asked you what's inside before that."

Shane stared at her with his cold eyes. "Do you like to apologize to others so much?"

"I'm not like you..."

"What's that?"

"You've never apologized to me before," she blurted out.

In fact, he seemed to have apologized in the past.

Charlotte immediately regretted as soon as those words tumbled out of her mouth.

She sounded as if she cared about his apology.

"At that time, I didn't think I was wrong."

Who would have thought that Shane's answer would cause her to fly into a rage?

Charlotte was so angry that she puffed out her chest and pointed at him with her trembling finger, "You pinned me down in the car to...to do that kind of thing, and you didn't think it was wrong? Also, if it hadn't been for you, Rick and I wouldn't have fought about what happened after that."

As she was speaking.

Her tone gradually became aggrieved. The rims of her eyes were slightly red as well.

Shane promptly turned to the side and started the car.

"You don't even care to explain. Just because you're Shane Fuller, it doesn't mean that you can be so stubborn. You think you can get away with everything just because you're so rich?" Her emotions kicked in.

She shouldn't have cared about him so much back then and directly sued him at the court!

Shane slowed down his car. His gaze landed on the flat road. With a calm voice, he said, "The damage has already been done. Are you trying to get even with me now?"

"You..." She choked with anger.

"Or, I can let you return it."

"You f*cking bastard."

He treated her like that because,

He just thought that she belonged to him, but she begged for other people's help just for the sake of Christopher Gibson.
