"I can't guarantee that my information is accurate, but there is absolutely no one who knows better than me." The man stared fixedly at Charlotte. "I need some money now. Not much, only 100,000 dollars. As long as you can give it to me, I will tell you all the information I have."
"I'm sorry." Charlotte leaned back. "Other than selling this information to me, you have no one else to sell it to. After all, this happened in another city. If Shane can handle it such that I didn't even know about it, that means that the people around him have already taken care of a large portion of it. If he wanted to hide it from me, he would need at least three people to help. That is to say that, besides me who can give you money and need this information, no one else will do business with you at all. Under such a situation, it would be too stupid of you to negotiate with me."
"If you can't even pay me 100,000 dollars, do you still think you can get my information?” That person was particularly arrogant.
Charlotte raised her eyebrows. "Then let's not cooperate. I don't care what Shane did. Even if he tells me the truth, I will believe it unconditionally. Whether you sell it or not, I don't care. You might as well sell it to the newspapers. Oh, of course, that would be on the condition that Shane allows these things to show up online or in the newspapers."
When he saw that Charlotte was about to leave, the person finally couldn't sit still anymore. "Do you think that no one else wants it?"
"It's up to you what you think. The point is I don't want it anymore." Charlotte paused and looked at him with a half-smile. "I can spend a few million dollars to get professional hackers to help me investigate. I believe that they will be honest with me. They will definitely be able to guarantee that the information is absolutely accurate."
Charlotte left right after speaking. Whether it was Riley or that person, she did not want to meet them again.
Their behavior of treating her as a sucker was too disgusting. Even if it was only 100,000 dollars, she would never cooperate with such an idiot who used such a small advantage as a weapon.
Charlotte was planning to shop for a while before leaving, but she saw someone following her in the mirror. After she went into a few boutiques and used different mirrors, she still found that the person was following behind her. He was even dodging from her view. He didn't look like a good person. However, judging by his height, this person was very likely to be Jackson.
Her gaze darkened. She wanted to go directly up to him to question him when her phone rang. She had no choice but to pick it up. "Hello?"
"It's me, do you want to have dinner together? We're going to have a barbecue at home." Kendall's voice came from the other end.
Charlotte smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go there right now."
"Bring some food that you like too. I don't know what you like to eat, so I only bought a few things. I have already bought all the drinks too." Kendall sounded very happy.
While she replied perfunctorily, Charlotte was searching for Jackson. However, he seemed to have discovered that she was looking for him. She did not know where he was.
He was really tricky.
Charlotte decided to find a place to sit down and chat seriously with Kendall.
"How's it going with Rick?" Charlotte ordered a cup of coffee and nestled on a sofa.
"I don't know... He has been very nice to me since we made up, but I always get the feeling that he's not very happy. Every day, he looks sullen. But no matter how bad-tempered he is, he always smiles when he talks to me. I don't know what happened to him. I really want to share his burdens. But he just held me and said that it's okay." Kendall sighed when she mentioned this.
Kendall suddenly arranged a barbecue party only for Rick's sake. She wanted to make him happy.
Charlotte seemed to be thinking about something as she spoke. "Kendall, I'm not saying this to scare you. It's very likely that Rick will go bankrupt. I mean it. The result of the Stevens family's desperate struggle is to have the Jane family go down with them, so..."
"What?" Kendall was stunned. "How could this happen? What on earth happened?"
Charlotte was silent.
Kendall continued to ask about it. "Rick told me about it before. He wanted you to tell me these things, but because I have been telling you about me and Rick, you and Shane didn't have time to talk to me. So I still don't know what happened in the days when I was not with you."
"I'm going to see you now."
"Okay, I am at home."
After she ended the call, Charlotte immediately entered the mall's underground parking lot. She planned to go straight to Rick's villa.
What happened was neither simple nor complicated. If Kendall's comprehension was high, she might be able to understand it in a moment.
As she thought about this, Charlotte felt that it was indeed necessary to tell Kendall about the possibilities.
Soon.
Charlotte arrived in front of Rick's villa.
When Kendall saw Charlotte's car, she rushed to Charlotte's side. She hugged her. "I missed you!"
