Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 340

Anne couldn't like Kendall. Just like how some people would run away when they smelled durian, but some people couldn't help but run towards it and hold it in their arms. These were things that nobody could control

However, she wouldn't allow others to hurt Kendall just because she was unable to like her.

"Kendall, Braden and I have already looked for a house. Please take care of my brother." Anne's tone was frigid.

"I..." Kendall wanted to say that she was the one who should leave, but when she came to think of it, if she left, Rick would go with her too. Rick's gentle character made it impossible for him to sit and do nothing when she was hurt to this extent.

So this time, Rick would definitely stay beside her and take care of her. Kendall bit her lower lip, lowered her head, and said, "Thank you."

"Rick, I am leaving with Braden first," Anne said and paused. "Kendall, I will never regret helping you to look for my brother all over the world today, but I will never regret slapping you either. I won't accept you, but that won't stop me from helping you."

Kendall nodded slightly and continued to ask in a determined manner, "But, I actually don't understand why you slapped me..."

"Other than me, my brother doesn't have another sister. You can call him whatever you want in front of others. But calling him your brother in front of me would only make me feel like you are asserting dominance over him in front of me."

After Anne finished her words, she left with Braden.

Kendall believed in this explanation, but Rick really didn't expect it to be that simple. He always thought that Anne was doing it to vent her anger for Charlotte.

However, if she thought about it according to Anne's logic, she was standing from the perspective of a little sister to protect her own brother, which was her personal view. Maybe a small part of her did it for Charlotte, but it was only a tiny part.

Anne was herself first, followed by the daughter of the Jane Family, then Rick's younger sister, and finally all kinds of social relationships.

Rick might have learned a lesson from his own sister.

He bent over and put his slender fingers on Kendall's face. "I will work with Shane to deal with this matter. Do you know how to answer if your brother and father ask you about it?"

"Yes!"

"That's good."

The sadness that had long settled between Rick's eyebrows caused Kendall's heart to ache a little. She reached out and gently touched the space between his eyebrows. "Rick, I won't cause you so much trouble in the future again. Don't be sad anymore."

He was not worried for her.

Rick couldn't tell her what he was feeling. Because even if he did, she wouldn't understand it.

The next day.

Caleb and her father came to the hospital to visit Kendall. As Kendall expected, they did not care much about her. They kept emphasizing how Rick didn't protect her and what he should do in the future. Half of their discussion was related to the company.

Kendall didn't know how to interrupt them. She could only hug her body and curl up inside the blanket alone.

She was afraid that Rick would abandon her because of this. She was afraid that she couldn't be with Rick anymore because of this.

"I see," Rick said those words with a polite smile from the very beginning until the end.

He didn't care how much profit he would offer for the Stevens family.

In the end, the Stevens family had to be destroyed anyway.

While everyone was chatting, the assistant ran in and delivered a message, saying that the Medina family had been completely pressured by Shane. Shane's first action was to immediately team up with market investors, devalue the Medina family's funds, and sell them quickly.

They bought them at the original price, then sold them again when the original price had dropped. Once this magical operation reached an irredeemable closing loop, their stock price would collapse sooner or later.

"Shane...How could he still have so much power now?" Caleb sneered, "He doesn't even have NC anymore. How could any investors possibly be willing to join forces with him?"

"According to my investigation." The assistant took out the prepared documents and continued, "Shane didn't lose NC but left NC with the company's stakeholders. To put it simply, NC is only an empty shell now. Shane took away the capital flow."

Caleb knew how daring this operation was and how cooperative the investors would have to be. He really didn't know that someone in this world could actually do that.

He took the document, and his face looked paler and paler. "Father..."

"Hmm." Ryland nodded his head seriously. "It seems like it was a right choice not to be his enemy on the outside. Bring Kendall to apologize to them if you have time."

"Okay, father."

Kendall found that laughable all of a sudden.
