Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 31

In the Emerson's villa.

"You foolish imbecile!"

Upon leaving NC Corporation, Yuliana had immediately gone to the Emerson residence in search of her sister, to confide to her about what happened with Shane.

However, Elaine lambasted her as soon as she finished explaining her situation.

Yuliana looked hurt. She asked in confusion, "Sis, why are you scolding me? It was that b*tch Charlotte Emerson who seduced Shane! What's wrong with me asking Shane to fire her?"

"You were used as cannon fodder and yet you' re still complacent. It's no wonder Shane looks down on you!" Out of frustration, Elaine rolled her eyes at her incompetent sister.

During the banquet, she had already noticed Shane's attitude toward Charlotte. It was as if he was a totally different person.

With today's incident, it was no doubt that Charlotte had managed to find herself an all-around protector to back her up.

It seemed to Elaine that she had to speed things up a little.

She quickly reorganized her thoughts. From the corner of her eyes, she peeped at a whimpering Yuliana.

She sighed helplessly and softened her tone. "I'll help you come up with a solution for this mess. For now, I want you to head home and wait for my command. You must also take note not to provoke Charlotte at the moment. Do you understand?"

"Sis, but why?" Don’t you also hate that b*tch to death?" Yuliana persisted, unwilling to accept defeat.

She found herself unreconciled with the thought of Charlotte getting away under Shane's protection.

"Just do as I tell you to. Else, I better not find you running back to me in tears and begging for my help when anything goes wrong," Elaine snapped back at Yuliana.

Now that Elaine had said it this way, Yuliana was left with no choice but to follow Elaine's orders despite the million things she couldn't place her finger around.

"I'll head back first, then." Yuliana obediently picked up her bag and left the Emerson residence.

After her departure, the butler walked out of the kitchen with a bowl in his hands. He came to Elaine and reported respectfully, "Ma'am, Mr. Emerson's herbal soup is ready."

"Got it, I'll take it from here."

Elaine carefully brought the bowl up to the second floor. Her steps halted in front of the door to the study room and she knocked twice.

"Come in," replied a man' s voice, accompanied by a coughing fit.

Elaine pushed the door open and headed straight to the desk. She placed the bowl of herbal soup on the desk and stepped behind Timothy. She put her hands on his shoulders and began gently massaging them. Then, she cooed gently, "Dear, you must be tired. Why don't you take a break?"

Timothy let out a couple of coughs. He removed his glasses and rubbed his temples. "The eastern suburbs is planning to establish an opera house. Bidding has just commenced." He pointed at the design drafts in front of him and grunted, "Look at these. What were they even thinking?"
