Chapter 145
"Half a month?" Charlotte was stunned.
"Yeah, if we go for more than half a month, Braden's visa will expire."
It was only half a month. It was not that she was never coming back.
Charlotte suddenly felt that she was being too sensitive. Maybe she really needed a change in environment to have a good rest.
In the end, Charlotte nodded her head.
It might be better to leave this city.
If she couldn't get any news about him at all, it might be better.
Late at night, the moon was bright and stars were sparse. The layers of clouds were thick in the night sky.
Shane stood in front of the French window. There were a lot of documents around him.
Cole read them one by one. He was stunned by one of the last ones. It was a share transfer document.
"Why did you stop reading?" Shane's voice was hoarse and tired. It sounded like he hadn't had a good rest in days.
"You... are you really going to hand over a portion of your shares to Miss Charlotte? Haven't you already ended your business relationship with her?"
"So?"
Cole took a step forward and said, "Mr. Fuller, from the time I started working for you, I have been absolutely loyal to you. Everything I have done, everything I think about, has been for the sake of you and the company."
Shane leaned over, picked up the glass on the coffee table and swirled it gently. As he looked at the light brown whiskey inside, his eyes flashed. In the end, he drank up all the wine in one gulp.
The safest way was to give the shares to Charlotte.
No one in the world would expect that he would give his shares to a woman who had nothing to do with him.
"The company has been under an unknown attack on our capital recently. You should know."
"Yes." Cole lowered his head. "According to the investigation, someone has been using international hot money to buy our shares."
International hot money referred to funds that didn't care about the country's profits. These capitalists didn't care about morality or ethics. They only wanted financial gain for themselves.
They had established a stable offshore system and won some beautiful financial battles in many countries. They had even laid waste to the real estate industry of those countries in one fell swoop.
Simply put, they were a group of mad dogs who only wanted money.
Now they had eyes on NC Company, they wanted to manipulate its stocks to take it down.
The only thing was...
Cole truly didn't understand. Why did it have to be Charlotte?
"You're quite familiar with Charlotte, aren't you?" Shane continued to ask.
"Yes, you asked me to investigate her in detail."
"Of all the people I know, she's the only one who won't check the equity transfer information regularly," Shane announced the reason.
"If that's the case..."
"I need an outsider who's completely unaware of what's going on."
Cole still felt that it was too dangerous. "Then you should choose Mrs. Fuller Senior."
Shane put down his wineglass.
She turned around to face the moon. His eyes suddenly turned cold.
Cole chewed his lower lip. "Mr. Fuller, I'm so..."
"Be careful of what you say."
Cole was shocked. He lowered his head even more.
At this time, Shane's phone rang.
He glanced at the screen and picked it up with a frown. "What's the matter?"
"You and Charlotte split up?" The woman on the other end of the phone didn't sound happy.
"As you wanted."
"Even if you broke up with her, it can't be because of Tiffany. What are the rumors saying? Tell me, did she use the past to emotionally manipulate you?" Raina's voice rose by an octave.
Shane replied calmly, "It's none of your business."
Raina sneered, "Your grandmother won't help you this time. You know how much she likes Sheryl. There is no way you are marrying Tiffany!"
"I thought you hated Charlotte?" Shane mocked her in a sarcastic tone.
"Yes, but I dislike Tiffany and her sister Heidi more."
Cole suddenly felt cold.
He just wanted to suggest that he should leave first. In any case, the documents had been checked.
With a "Bang-" sound, the glass exploded on the ground and shattered into many pieces.
In the sparse lighting, Cole could see that Shane's palm was full of glass shards.
He hadn't thrown the glass. Rather, he had squeezed it broken.
"What right do you have to mention her?"
"Oh, do you think you're the only one investigating the truth? Shane, let me do my duty and tell you: Your kidnapping definitely had something to do with the Allen family!"
"Tiffany is using you. I hate Charlotte because she gave birth to a child out of wedlock. But she's nice and her family's decent too. At least she doesn't want to hurt you!"
"Think it over carefully," she ended.
Raina hung up the phone.
Her anger towards the Allens seemed to be even greater than her anger towards
Charlotte.
However, this time, Shane had no intention to bring Tiffany home. He even faintly felt that Raina's words were not ear-piercing.
He rubbed the middle of his eyebrows unconsciously, only to notice the broken pieces of glass in his hand.
"Cole, call Henry... Forget it, take me to the hospital."
"Yes, sir."
By rights, Henry shouldn't be asleep at this hour. Why didn't Shane call him? Cole was puzzled.
In the past two days, Mr. Fuller's actions had become more and more unpredictable.
Under the moonlight.
Two cars met at a high speed.
One had been rushing to the airport while the other drove into the city from Hartsville.
Sheryl, who was sitting in the car, seemed to have noticed something was amiss and subconsciously turned her head. It was dark, and she couldn't see anything.
Was it an illusion?
She rubbed her eyes and turned her head back.
She kept having the feeling that someone was calling her.
If, at that moment, Sheryl could have wings like a fairy in a fairytale and could fly high enough, she would be able to see that, on a high- speed motorway, two cars were overlapped strangely.
"My brother said that he will come for the flight as soon as possible." Anne put away her phone and looked tentatively at Charlotte.
"Both you siblings are so nice" Charlotte answered carefully.
"You almost said 'Your brother is a good man. We're not well- matched'." Anne rolled her eyes. "Is Shane better than my brother?"
"He is very excellent."
"I don't care. You have to give me a reason, a reason why you can't be my sister-in-law."
Charlotte touched Sheryl's hair and said, "I used to want to find Sheryl's biological father, so when it comes to other men..."
Anne simply interrupted her. "Now this is not a reason anymore."
Charlotte sighed. "Fine. I promise you that I will try with him."
"It doesn't matter if I try with others, right?" Charlotte thought.
She knew very well that it was impossible for her to be with Shane in this life.
He was a piano genius. He had given up on his talent for Heidi. Now, he had the optimistic and cheerful Tiffany as his companion.
There was no place for Charlotte at all.
However, it was extremely difficult to fall in love with someone else.
Charlotte absent-mindedly hugged the child next to her tightly.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
This was his child. The person from five years ago was Shane.
All kinds of thoughts intertwined in her mind, squeezing her to the point of breathlessness.
Soon.
When the car arrived at the airport, the four people went through the security check and boarded.
The moment she handed the ticket over to the security personnel, Charlotte's heart inexplicably relaxed.
The dust had settled. The winner and loser had emerged. She could escape abroad and recuperate.
After she got on the plane, Charlotte put on a sleeping mask and earplugs and went straight to sleep.
Anne secretly took out Charlotte's mobile phone, took out the original SIM card and changed it into one that could be used at home and abroad.
Braden saw this and said in a low voice, "Honey, should you be doing this?"
"What's wrong with it? I made a copy of her contact list in advance. There won't be any problem. She won't notice. The main thing is to prevent Shane from contacting her. Lottie is soft-hearted."
"Based on my understanding of Shane, since he gave up on Ms. Emerson for someone else, he won't be in touch with her anymore."
"Just in case."
Braden sighed.
On the one hand was his good friend. On the other was his beloved fiancee.
It was too difficult, too challenging for him to deal with.
When the four of them boarded the plane, Cole's phone rang at the hospital.
Shane was receiving treatment. Cole stood in the corridor and cried out in surprise, "What did you say?!"
Shane, who was inside, frowned and asked,
"What's the matter?"
After finishing the call, he approached Shane respectfully and said, "Mr. Fuller, Miss Charlotte has gone abroad with Miss Jane and Mr. Collins."
The whole room was so quiet that only the sound of the doctor working with the tweezers could be heard.
After a long time, Shane nodded lightly. He opened his mouth and said without any expression, "Got it."
