Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 293

Rick wasn't an unreasonable thinker. Even in Charlotte's eyes, he was a true businessman. And to her, a 100% businessman would never be open and straightforward. A businessman had an inferior status in the ancient societies because they were only interested in making profits.

Therefore, he would definitely choose the more advantageous option and not let his feelings get the better of him.

She interrupted Shane and acted in front of Rick, so that Kendall would let her guard down. And also to vent her frustration at the same time. After all, she kindly let Avery go back to discuss cooperation with Rick, but it led to such a disaster. Anyone would feel uncomfortable because of that.

However, she really didn't expect that Rick would want to fall out with Kendall here.

"Lottie, I thought you interrupted Mr. Fuller because you saw through it." Zoe was surprised too.

"I... Forget it. Just pretend as if I saw through it. The consequences are pretty much the same anyway." Charlotte simply gave up on herself.

"It's a good thing to be absent- minded." Peter smiled and said, "I received a text message from Rick again. He said that he had contacted his friend. If we want to meet the person who pushed Avery down, we can go now."

Charlotte bit her lips. She did want to see him, but she also knew that it was meaningless to see him. She would even enrage herself.

"Let's not meet him anymore."

It was Shane who spoke.

All of a sudden, all three people's eyes landed on him.

"I'll ask Cole to take him away. Well use our own way to make him speak."

Peter's eyes lit up. "Is it a special method? Mr. Fuller, you haven't interrogated anyone in a long time."

"Not me. It's for the kids from the army have some fun."

The kids from the army?

Charlotte and Zoe looked at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes. Since when did Shane have anything to do with the army?

Charlotte looked at Peter again. His face was full of surprise and anticipation. Obviously, Peter had already known about this.

However, neither Shane nor Peter proceeded to discuss this topic. She also knew that she shouldn't ask too much, so she just stopped talking.

She didn't want to ask too much about the world that belonged to Shane.

The four of them sat in the police station until Cole brought over 'the kids from the army'.

These 'kids' looked much older than Shane. Charlotte only dared to look and not stare. She listened to their conversation and didn't dare to interrupt. Only when the 'kids' brought the man away did she let out a sigh of relief. Then, she realized that someone was sighing beside her too. When she turned around, she realized that it was no other than Zoe.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"We don't seem to know them very well," Zoe spoke first.

"It's enough that they understand each other, just like how we understand each other."

"Lottie, if my lover is not someone from his circle. I don't think I can maintain this relationship between us."

Zoe was extremely rational and calm. She wasn't asking a rhetorical question, nor was she seeking a sense of security from Charlotte's answer. It was only a possibility that she came up with.

Charlotte pulled her to the side and sat down. Shane and Peter were left in the living room.

The place where the two of them sat was a bit noisy. Not far away was the place where the police worked. Some police officers were running around with a large pile of documents in their hands, while some of them were even pinning down the suspects onto the table. The scene would only make people sigh.

Compared to those composed scenes from movies and TV dramas, reality looked so much more chaotic.

Charlotte looked at them while holding Zoe's hand. "We are no longer at the age of dreaming. Lifelong friendship sounds too exaggerated. I only want you to be here for now."

"Alright." Zoe nodded.

"When there's a chance, I'll introduce Anne to you. Then we surely will not be bored in the future."

"What kind of person is she?"

Then, they began to talk about Anne.

Zoe had no friends.

It wasn't that she didn't have many friends. She didn't have friends at all.

She yearned for everyone's life. But at the same time, she was afraid that after she grew closer with others, they would look down on her because of her family background. Only when she was with Charlotte could she live like a normal person and not have to be afraid.

Shane soon finished his work. He left the living room with Cole alone. The man behind him, whose hands were cuffed, was taken away by the 'kids' from the army.
