Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 269

"Ah, Ms. Emerson!" One of them noticed Charlotte.

"Ms. Emerson, we're not here to gossip. It's just that we're a little tired from working..." Another person was trying to explain.

The first person had been in the company for a long time. He knew that it was better to shut up than to explain right then. He quickly pulled the second person back and did not allow her to keep speaking.

Charlotte patted both of their shoulders. "Don't be nervous. Let me ask you a question. Who do you think has the greatest benefit in this matter?"

The biggest benefit?

Both of them were stunned.

She was actually gossiping with the two of them. The bespectacled woman who hadn't spoken just now raised her hand. Charlotte nodded at her, indicating for her to speak.

"I thought it was Rick, but after Mielle died, everyone would suspect him. Even if he hates Mielle, he should have been more discreet," the woman with glasses said.

"That's right. And then?"

"So I think that the Emerson Corporation, NC Company, and Prospera, who have all been expanding abroad recently, all could have been the culprit, but I still feel that there was a personal grudge involved since she was killed outright."

NC Company was expanding abroad?

Charlotte froze for a moment. "You're saying that NC Company is expanding abroad?"

The woman pushed her glasses further up her nose and nodded. "Yes, their funds are being transferred abroad, and NC Company and the Emerson Corporation have always had close interactions. The two companies are almost adjacent."

"Which department do you belong to?"

"Well, Ms. Emerson, I'm from the design department, but a friend of mine works at NC Company."

"Go find Peter and tell him about this matter. After that, you can have the next two days off on paid leave." Charlotte turned to the other two. "You guys continue your break. I've said before that as long as the company's bottom line is the top priority, you're free to do whatever you want. There's no need to be so nervous when it comes to chatting."

After she said that, Charlotte turned around and left the pantry.

A long time after Charlotte left, the three of them came to their senses, as if they had just woken up from a dream.

"Ms. Emerson doesn't seem to be mad at us."

"Hey, Rene, why did Ms. Emerson ask you to find Mr. Brown?"

The woman in glasses shook her head and said, "All I know is that Ms. Emerson treats us very well."

"You're right. I thought she would definitely criticize us this time. I've heard that Ms. Emerson and the Jane Corporation's Mr. Jane are..."

"Hey, stop talking nonsense. Let's go back to work."

The other fled from Rene's side like they were running from the plague.

She knew that it was not that they didn't want to gossip, but they were afraid that she would pass the gossip on to Ms. Emerson.

The human heart was unpredictable, and no one knew who would turn out to be mean-spirited.

Charlotte originally thought that, at the very least, she would be able to obtain some news tomorrow.

But she didn't expect that Peter would give her a file that afternoon.

NC Company was indeed transferring assets abroad. It was not Christopher himself only, but the whole of NC Company. According to the information obtained by Peter, this news was known by very few people in the country. Rene knew about it because her friend at NC Company held a high position.

It was also her friend who had recommended her to come to this company for a job.

Charlotte immediately confirmed with Shane that this friend of Rene's was indeed Shane's informant, but he was in a very weak position and was not very important. To ask him to resign would not be fair to him, so Shane did not make any moves at all. He still left him in NC Company.

"Are Christopher and Elaine and Rick competing with each other?" Charlotte muttered to herself as she looked at the documents.

"Good news." Shane's voice came from the earphones.

"Ah, you haven't hung up yet."

"I'm fine, thank you." There was a hint of impatience in his words.

Charlotte scratched the back of her head in embarrassment and said, "No, I mean, I thought you ended the call..."

Shane didn't answer. After a while, Charlotte heard voices from over the phone.

Should she hang up the phone?

Charlotte scratched her eyebrows. She was too embarrassed to interrupt Shane, but she also felt that it was rude to eavesdrop on him, even though she couldn't understand a word that he was saying to the others.

"If you have any questions, just ask me. I will answer them when I am free," Shane said.

"Are you in a meeting?"

"Yes, but it doesn't matter."
