Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 176

Charlotte shook her head. "I don't know about that. What about you, Rick?"

"Same here."

"Does that mean that Tiffany crossed the line with Shane?"

Charlotte shrugged her shoulders. In any case, it had nothing to do with her now.

When she saw that Charlotte had lost interest, Anne did not ask any more questions. She thought of the little kid who was waiting to be fed at home. She suggested, "Shall we go home? Sheryl has been waiting for an explanation."

"Okay." Charlotte handed the document in her hand to Anne. "I just want to trouble you to help me deal with this."

"This is..." Anne took the document.

A share transfer agreement?

Why was she giving this to her for no reason?

Anne opened it and found that they were the shares of Emerson Corporation. "Lottie, why are you giving this to me?"

"They're the safest with you. This is the result of my discussion with your brother," said Charlotte.

"I don't mind taking care of them for you." Anne put the documents away.

Charlotte smiled. "I know you don't care about these work things, but I don't think it's suitable for me or Rick to hold onto the shares of Emerson Corporation."

Anne nodded with an "Mm" sound and said, "I understand."

They left the hospital and returned home.

Sheryl had been waiting for a long time.

As she watched her Mommy come home, she was happy and angry. She was happy that Mommy was finally fine again. She was mad that Charlotte hadn't told Sheryl about this and had come home already.

Great-grandma would definitely be sad.

When she saw the child's resentful gaze, Charlotte didn't know what to do for a moment. She smiled bitterly and said, "Sheryl, the past two days, I..."

"Let me do it," Rick came forward to suggest. "You go up and have a rest."

"But, Rick, if she doesn't even listen to what I say, will she listen to you?"

"It's okay. You can go."

Charlotte looked at Sheryl and the little girl made a face at her.

Alright.

It was indeed better to leave this to someone else. Charlotte sighed, "Okay."

After she went upstairs, Charlotte sat down on the bed and put the pen and notebook she had brought back from the hospital in the bedside drawer.

In the past three days, she could move about freely.

Therefore, she had discussed many things with Rick about the matter of taking over the Emerson Corporation.

For now, the Jane Corporation's development was stable, but it lacked a partner in the logistics industry. However, Emerson Corporation was worthy of consideration.

If they thought about it from a logical standpoint, with the death of the old chairman of the Emerson Corporation, the new directors and CEO were less effective. They were not familiar with the company's business so it was normal for them to lose money in the next one to three years.

However.

Now, with the market in a semi- quiescent period, all industries were developing rapidly.

Without the limit of capital, new entrepreneurs would increase. Things could change a lot in a month, much less a year. In these circumstances, there were only two paths the Emerson Corporation could take.

They would either be acquired or go bankrupt.

On the whole, the Emerson Corporation was going downhill, so it could be taken over.

Charlotte looked at the documents in the drawer and subconsciously touched the bracelet on her hand. The ringing of her cell phone interrupted her thoughts.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Her thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of her cell phone.

She came back to earth and picked it up. "Hello?"

"This is Zoe."

Zoe Watson?

It was Shane's secretary.

She was also one of the people Charlotte had been closest with in the company.

Charlotte didn't know why she was calling. After a moment of silence, she opened her mouth and said, "What is it?"

"Please talk to Christopher. When I was sorting out the CEO's document today, I saw that he was the person who was buying the company's shares, and..." Zoe took a deep breath when she said this. It seemed that she did not have the courage to continue.

Charlotte knew Zoe quite well.

She was very serious about her work, and she was very calm and reliable.

After some consideration, Charlotte finally decided to ask, "And what?"

"He controls the Emerson Corporation's stock..."

Charlotte felt her brain go blank.

The Emerson Corporation was controlled by Christopher?

Logically speaking, he certainly couldn't completely control the Emerson Corporation in such a short period of time. So he hadn't done it because he had had a conflict with Shane.

It was very likely that he had been controlling the Emerson Corporation for a long time, and then turned it into a pawn. Step by step, he was planning to go against Shane.

This also meant that...

Charlotte lowered her eyes and felt a sharp pain in her heart. "I've always treated him as a friend."

"I know how you feel. Believe me, I feel worse than you do." Zoe looked at the table. On it was the only photo of her and Christopher she had. She felt very upset. "I couldn't think of anyone else I can talk to about it." NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"Just pretend that you didn't tell me about it today. I need to discuss it with Rick."

"I understand."

The conversation was over.

Charlotte looked at the documents in the drawer. For a moment, she felt that this was ridiculous.

Before, when Christopher said that he wanted to join the Jane Corporation, it was to win Rick over? And maybe get her shares as well?

She had truly regarded him as a friend. She didn't forget about him even when she was in the Jane Corporation. But, in the end, he was so heartless.

All of a sudden, Charlotte became very desolate.

While she was lost in thought, there was a sound of knocking at the door. Someone was at the door.

"The door is unlocked. Please come in."

Rick pushed the door open and carried the child to her side. The little girl hugged Charlotte and said, "Mommy, I know Daddy is bullying you."

"Sheryl..."

"Then we won't be friends with Daddy. Mrs. Fuller Senior said that after I was brought home by Uncle Rick this time, I can go to her house to find her. I don't have to go to the old mansion," Sheryl said in a low and muffled voice.

"Okay, I'll take you there next time."

Sheryl held her in her arms and kissed her on the cheek. "Mommy is the best."

The little girl had run over to say these words. When she finished, she left. Although Mrs. Fuller Senior wasn't here, there were still a lot of toys and a television that could attract her attention.

That was why many people said that a child's love was temporary.

After all, even a cartoon character could steal their love of their parents.

"You don't look very good." Rick reached out his hand to check Charlotte's forehead. "Tell me if you feel uncomfortable."

"I'm fine." Charlotte shook her head. "It's just that Zoe called me just now. She is Shane's secretary. She said the Emerson Corporation is being controlled by Christopher."

"This is typical."

"What?"

"As I said before, there's something wrong with him, so it's typical to see this kind of thing happen."

Charlotte lowered her gaze.

Rick looked at her distressed face and said, "Don't think too much about it. You think too much of some people. Maybe they have been using you from beginning to end."

Would he do that?

However, Christopher had never used her and had never hurt her.

It was hard for her to imagine that he was more powerful than Elaine and actually controlled the Emerson Corporation.

If Christopher was really the one calling the shots, then her mother's death...

The light in Charlotte's eyes went out. "Rick, you're right. Business is lethal."

"Lottie, you still have me."

"I know. If it weren't for you by my side, the current me would probably have collapsed." Charlotte's face was as pale as paper. She raised her hand and rubbed her face. "Let's stop being so emotional. Let's think of a way to deal with this."

A plan...

Rick thought for a while and then said, "This Christopher person. I think you'd better talk to him first. He's different from Shane. He's not a person who values profits only."

"Do you mean that you want me to figure out the root cause?"

"Yes, I suspect that there may be a grudge between him and Shane, but only Christopher would know about it."

What kind of grudge involved only one person knowing it?

Although Charlotte nodded, at the bottom of her heart, she felt that the simple speculation was unreliable.

But now, she had no other choice but to believe in Rick.

She raised her hand absent- mindedly and touched the scar on the back of her neck. "Rick, should I go pray? I feel like I've been really unlucky recently."
