Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 282

Why did Rick give false testimony back then?

Rick couldn't remember now. He only knew that he had gone to a bar to drink. When he went home, he had impulsively made this decision.

Kendall had been so pitiful, just like how he was before Charlotte. He was pitiful and small.

That was probably the weird reason why he went to court and became a false witness.

Rick raised his hand to rub his eyebrows and said, "Anyway, it's good that Lottie is still willing to cooperate with us. Once the goods are delivered, and if everything goes well, we can bypass the Stevens family to save our shipping routes and warehouses."

"If it doesn't go well..." the assistant asked worriedly.

"I'll accept my fate."

When Charlotte walked into the living room, she just happened to hear Rick say "accept my fate". She did not feel anything as she returned to her own seat and pushed the contract before him.

Rick looked at the details and gave the contract to the people next to him to verify the terms. After they made sure that there was no problem, Rick signed his name.

Although Rick was now Charlotte's client, due to the fact no company in River City could handle 200,000 tons worth of goods, the two of them were not in direct conflict. As long as Charlotte didn't want to, Rick could only disperse his stock to different companies.

However, letting different companies handle the same stock would cause problems.

The contract was signed.

Rick immediately paid all the fees.

"According to the regulations, you only need to pay 20% as a deposit. You don't need to pay so much." Charlotte looked at the numbers on the check and repeatedly confirmed that Rick was paying her 1.2 million and not 200,000 dollars.

"We don't have to follow the regulations. The Jane Corporation has enough working capital. I'm afraid that there will be more trouble if I don't settle this quick. You should cash the check as soon as possible."

"What you mean is, you have internal problems as well?"

They had problems as well?

Did she think that his Jane Corporation had the same issue as NC Company?

No, it was different.

At least, there would not be a life- and- death struggle between Christopher and Shane. Both of them were playing the game at the same level. Even if one of them left, the other might not get to take control of the company. However, this was totally different here.

Rick shook his head. "It's not an internal problem. My thoughts are different from the Stevens family's. There would have been friction sooner or later."

"I still don't understand. Why did you cooperate with them then?" Charlotte frowned.

"Lottie, sometimes, I don't get a choice. By the way, I'm very grateful to you and Mr. Fuller for that thing with Mielle. If it weren't for you, I probably still won't know who killed Mielle. I would have to wait a long time for the murderer to be caught." Rick didn't want to continue this topic, so he took his people and left.

And yet.

Charlotte was stunned.

She did not follow up on the matter of Mielle.

In her mind, Shane did not bother about this matter anymore. Why did Rick say that he had found the murderer?

Moreover, even if the murderer was found, she only knew about Joe. She still had no clue who had hired Joe. Although she said that she suspected the Stevens family, Shane would never spread rumors because there was no evidence.

Charlotte bit her lip and looked down at the check in her hand.

It was better to cash it in first. After all, she was afraid of trouble, too.

Charlotte went to the bank. After she processed the check and received the money, she asked her subordinates to communicate with the Jane Corporation. The matter of Rick's request to cooperate with the company finally came to an end.

Charlotte had nothing to do at the office even if she went back there at this hour. Charlotte contacted Peter and decided to check on his progress with Zoe.

After she arrived at the neighborhood, Charlotte searched for a long time before finding Block 87 where Peter and Zoe were.

She knocked on the door, and Peter opened it.

"Why didn't you call me to pick you up, Ms. Emerson." Peter took out some slippers from the shoe cabinet.

"Did you pick the block based on safety reasons when you bought this place?" Charlotte complained as she took off her shoes.

"I thought lock 87 would be at the back, but I didn't expect it to be hidden behind the community garden. I dare not go out at night even as a man. When I open the door, all I can see is a bunch of shrubs after a long, dark corridor. Have you watched any TV shows? That is where murderers often hand out," Peter lowered his voice mysteriously.

Charlotte was speechless. She shook her head. "With your guts, you're much better suited to be an assistant than a security guard. When the glass door of our office was smashed, you hid behind Zoe too."

"Mr. Fuller is more suited to be a security guard."

"Alright, I'll call him later and tell him you said that."
