Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 231

Shane leaned toward Charlotte and pointed at the corner of her eye. "Your makeup's a little messy."

"The weather is too cold. My hands were shaking." Charlotte casually backed off to avoid him. "Mr. Fuller, know your boundaries."

"Boundaries?" Shane moved closer to her.

Almost everybody's eyes were fixed on the two of them.

Charlotte knew that they were all there to see Shane. They wanted to find out why Shane made a move on the shipping industry.

But now...

She sighed helplessly. "Mr. Fuller, don't tell me that you want everybody to know that you put so much effort into messing up the industry just for an insignificant woman like me."

"If that's the case, will you reconcile with me?"

"Reconcile? Mr. Fuller, stop joking around with me. I'm just someone who you keep when you need and discard whenever you don't need anymore. There's no need to talk about reconciling."

Speechless, Shane stared deep into her eyes. Then, he straightened his back and didn't speak to

her anymore.

Charlotte let out a sigh of relief.

When she was about to continue reading the report to divert her attention, she found Kendall and Rick looking at her from the opposite side.

Rick's eyes seemed to be filled with pain, but Kendall's held great resentment and anger.

She actually didn't care what they thought of her. Because when the show started, they would have to compete to the bitter end anyway.

Soon after, the director had arrived.

The shipping this time would concern seven different companies. These seven companies were also the ones that joined forces to put this project together.

It was extremely versatile but also very difficult to manage. Small companies couldn't handle it, and big companies wouldn't want to handle it.

Large companies like NC came to bid because they wanted to find a target that they can take over.

They couldn't offer their own route to others, could they? That was impossible.

Charlotte was starting to get nervous.

Based on her knowledge about Jane Corporation, the price and route they offered should be the one that they assumed.

If Rick and Kendall found a new route in the past two days, everything they prepared would be in vain.

"God bless us." Charlotte prayed.

Charlotte felt the urge to touch her bracelet.

But when she suddenly realized that this bracelet was...

She took a deep breath and stopped herself, but something cold touched her wrist at that moment. She was shocked and turned to her side.

Shane took off her original bracelet and put on a jade bracelet.

It was ice jade.

Its base color was transparent and milky white, and its surface was embellished with irregular light blue lines that looked like blood streaks.

Generally speaking, this kind of semi-translucent ice jade wasn't worth more than three hundred thousand dollars. Most of them cost around ten thousand dollars.

With Shane's net worth, he could have given her a better one if he wanted to. By choosing a bracelet with this price point was like indirectly telling her: "If you don't want it, I'll just throw it away."

Shane would definitely not feel bad if he threw away something worth ten thousand dollars.

Charlotte didn't have the opportunity to reject his gift. A surge of iciness ascended from her wrist, and her nervousness immediately dissipated into thin air.

"Shane..." She lowered her voice.

"If you don't want it, I'll just throw it away."

As expected!

She glared at him. "You're forcing kind- hearted people to do naughty things."

"What kind of naughty things?"

"You..." She was choked with anger.

Shane's mood had obviously turned better. His eyebrows were slightly raised, and his lips curled up into a smile.

He could have chosen another time to give it to her.

Charlotte knew that he wanted to make her feel at ease and also obtain a slice of interest from her. But she had just won the argument earlier.

Alas!

Charlotte looked down at the bracelet.

It was beautiful indeed, but because Shane was the one who gave it to her, she didn't really know what to feel.
