Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 243

Charlotte couldn't be stoic in front of Shane. Before him, she couldn't help but be affected...

Charlotte clutched the corner of her top and said, "I don't understand what you mean."

"Are you sure?"

"I..."

"There's no rush."

Shane lay down on the beach chair next to her, and his thin lips curled up slightly.

Charlotte swept a look over his face from the corner of her eye before she withdrew her gaze. She closed her eyes and faced the sunlight.

It was his duty to help her.

Charlotte had not yet mulled over these words carefully. What she cared about was the hidden meaning behind these words. Would she accept it or not?

Since she returned home, she had not made it clear who had helped her. Whether it was Shane or Rick, she was still a subordinate. In other words, they all shared similar interests, and it could not be determined who had helped whom.

When she was working with them, she had never thought about using their connections to deal with Elaine and regain the Emerson Corporation.

But this matter with Sheryl made her feel anxious.

The best way to prevent others from hurting her was to take the initiative to attack.

That was what Charlotte was thinking in her mind.

River City.

In a noisy bar.

Zoe finally arrived at the bar after moving through the crowds of people. She took out Shane's VIP card and said, "I am Zoe Watson. Where is Peter Brown?"

"He's in a private room, number 713." The bartender answered respectfully, "Mr. Fuller's honored guest, let me take you there."

"No, I'll go by myself. If there is a disturbance later, please call the police immediately."

"Okay, we are very professional in this aspect."

Zoe put away the VIP card and walked to the private room numbered 713.

This bar was called Bacchanalia. Shane had invested in it before, and now it made average profits. After all, the higher-ups had already said that it was understandable that the bar's business would not be good during these special times.

Room 713 was in a secluded corner. It could accommodate about 30 people. It was a private room only for VIPs.

Peter hadn't explained the situation to her and only told her to go to Room 713 to save him.

Zoe reached out and pushed the door open.

There were many people there.

When she found Christopher sitting conspicuously in a single glance, she was slightly taken aback.

"Why is Christopher here?" she wondered.

Zoe lowered her head and looked for Peter in the crowd. Suddenly, she felt a warmth on her arm. She turned sideways and was shocked to see the person there.

"Is, is this Peter Brown?" she wondered.

He wore fancy glasses, very hipster clothes. His hair was dyed silver.

"Why are you dressed like this?"

"In such a situation, I can only dress like this. I came here today to make a deal for our new shipping project, but I didn't expect them to stop me from leaving." Peter motioned to the people not far away with his lips.

Zoe looked over and found that they were a few people who wore more casual clothes and looked like gangsters. They were staring at her and Peter.

Zoe did not care about them at all. She grabbed Peter's hand and was going to take him outside.

"Hey, beautiful, you can't come in here whenever you want and bring someone out. Who do you think you are?"

A yellow-haired man pointed at her and Peter, and several bodyguards immediately surrounded them.

Peter pushed Zoe behind him, but his arms and legs were shaking.

He was just a diligent regular person whose life's work was to develop web security. He did not want to get involved in this drama. He had only come here to trade software and chips.

Zoe pushed him away and took out the VIP card that Shane had given her. "Can't I take Shane Fuller's staff away?"

The yellow- haired man was stunned. "Are you Shane Fuller's subordinate?"

"What of it?"

"In that case, you may go, but this fellow can't." The yellow-haired man pointed to Peter. "Our boss said that Mr. Fuller is not in the country at all."

Did they make trouble for Peter because they knew that Shane was not in the country?

Zoe did not pay attention to him. She just took out her phone from her pocket, dialed Shane's number, and told him the current situation.

"Look for Cole," was all Shane said.

Although Shane was on a vacation abroad, Cole had volunteered to stay.

Zoe immediately called Cole after ending the call with Shane. Cole said that he would bring people here soon. In this way, Zoe did not have to rush to take Peter away.

The two of them found seats and sat down.
