Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 203

In the limousine, Shane stared out the window with a glass in his hand.

Rick stood in the wind, he was smiling but he looked like a walking dead...

He closed his eyes.

His so-called love for Charlotte was nothing compared to what Rick felt for her.

"Well." Braden, who had been in the car tentatively asked, "I've checked the notary, do you want to see it?"

"I am now the chairman of Jane Corporation.

I can transfer the Weil shares at anytime."

"Well, theoretically, that's true. He even made the announcement this morning. Rick's really so merciless. It's the Jane Corporation's shares, not just some small company." Braden didn't know if he should feel touched or scared.

Rick was too shocking.

Shane lowered his eyes and took a sip of his wine. His sound turned a little hoarse due to the bitterness of the wine. "I'm not as good as him."

"But that may not be of any use. I heard Anne say Charlotte had told her even if she was forced to marry Rick, their relationship may not even be stable. What's the point if Rick couldn't even achieve anything after all his sacrifices?"

"He thinks he owes me."

"I... dude, I don't understand."

"He felt guilty for forcing Charlotte into marrying him. He's desperate to get rid of his guilt. The first reason he did all this is to force me to admit my feelings for Charlotte isn't as deep as his. The second reason was to force himself to a dead end. Thirdly, is to make up for the trouble he caused me by forcing Charlotte to marry him. Fourthly, he just lost actual control of the shares. It's useless for me to hold so much of the shares if he's not at the Jane Corporation," Shane explained calmly.

Braden swallowed hard. "So everything he said just now, was just to plot against you?"

"That's right."

"You're going with his plans just like that?"

"I need Weil." Shane put down his wine glass and closed his eyes. "This is the key to enter the global trade market. I need Weil if I want to control the offshore companies."

Braden understood Shane had been trying to enter the global trade market for many years but he didn't expect when he finally did, it would be at the expense of a woman.

Just a woman.

Braden didn't know whether he should congratulate Shane or feel regretful for him.

After some thought, he decided to congratulate him.

There were tons of women but only one Weil.

Several hours later, Charlotte arrived at the church in a wedding dress and perfect makeup.

A herd of doves flew across the blue sky.

"You look so beautiful today." Anne took Charlotte's hand longingly.

"Dummy, I'm marrying your brother, not someone else. Why are you acting as if I'm leaving forever?" Charlotte asked helplessly.

Anne smiled with embarassment.

Perhaps, it didn't matter who she was marrying, the bottom line was she would be leaving. Besides, it's always bittersweet to marry off a best friend.

Anne rubbed her nose. "That's right, I should stop calling you Lottie. You're my sister-in-law now."

Charlotte smiled. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Her heavy makeup and revealing white slender neck made her look elegant and dignified.

Anne was stunned for a moment. After some time, she finally recovered and gave her a hug. "When you get down from this car, you'll be marrying my brother."

"It's just an engagement party..." Charlotte reached out her hands and gently pushed her.

"You're such a heartless woman. I can't believe you're not sad at all!"

Charlotte rolled her eyes. "We'll see each other every day. Besides, I didn't act this way when you were engaged to Braden."

Anne was shocked by her calmness. She threw the magazine beside her at Charlotte and ran out in a huff to call Braden.

As her best friend left, Charlotte felt bored and helpless. She casually flipped through the magazine that Anne had left behind.

It was an interview with Rick.

She had only flipped through a few pages when an envelope fell out.

Charlotte picked up the envelope cautiously. On the cover, the words "To the Jane Siblings" were written in bold red ink. The envelope was sealed with a red seal. It seemed to be quite inauspicious.

After hesitating for a moment, Charlotte opened the envelope.

Blake Reau.

Charlotte had little memory of this name. She remembered after the Jane Corporation started to develop in this area, the first they defeated was the Reau Family.

Several of the Reau Family's companies had dropped down to the top 20 from the top 5 on the list. It could be said they lost billions for no reason.

They were considered to be a leading corporation, it's more complicated as they have a high turnover. They would face problems when they lost their liquid capital.

At that time, Rick's plan was to destroy them straight away.

He had suppressed the Reau Family to the point where they couldn't survive. Then, all he needed to do was extend a helping hand to take control of the Reau Family.

Charlotte pulled herself out of her thoughts. Her face turned dark immediately as she finished reading the letter.

She pushed the door open and ran out in a hurry.

Outside the church, there was a sea of people.

Rick wanted to give her a proper title so he invited a lot of people. This made it even more difficult for Charlotte to find Anne.

She kept calling her, but no one answered. She also didn't see Anne anywhere on the scene.

In the end, Charlotte stumbled and ran into the church.

The hem of her wedding dress was stained with dirt.

Rick, who was chatting with the guests, immediately rushed over when he saw Charlotte running over.

"What's wrong?" He held her with one hand and wiped the sweat off her forehead. "Tell me slowly."

"I called Anne but it couldn't get through. Then, I found this letter. Look..." Charlotte was so anxious tears were welling up in her eyes. "Do you think we can save her before the ceremony starts?"

Anne had been kidnapped.

Rick smiled. Things would always take an unpredictable turn.

"I'm afraid we would have to choose between Anne and the ceremony."

"I... Let's stay here and ask Braden to handle this matter, okay?" Charlotte suggested him carefully.

In fact.

She wanted to find Anne.

Even if she knew she couldn't help him, she just couldn't leave her missing friends...

She was so worried about her.

Rick glanced at the clock on the wall. "I don't think there would be enough time to wait for Braden."

She was unable to make a choice. It seemed that giving up the ceremony was the best choice.

Just as Rick was about to suggest ending the ceremony to search for Anne, Anne suddenly appeared.

"Lottie, you're so quick. You've already found my brother. I thought you ran away from the wedding."

She quickly ran to Charlotte's side and hugged her. "I've looked for you everywhere."

"Why didn't you answer the phone?" Charlotte asked in confusion. Her heart was in a mess. She stared at her for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief after making sure she was okay, and returned her hug.

"My phone was dead," Anne explained embarrassedly.

"I was scared to death. Look at this."

Anne took the letter and read through it. Then, she threw it to Rick unmindfully. "I've seen many letters of this sorts since I was young and nobody ever kidnapped me. Don't worry, it's alright."

Charlotte wanted to retort back but stopped on second thought. She remembered Anne used to learn martial arts and free combat. The muscles on her body might even be stronger than Braden's...

It seemed that there was nothing to worry about.

Charlotte nodded. "You have to protect yourself."

"I know. Don't worry."

Because Charlotte had suddenly barged into the church, the ceremony had to be held in advance.

It wasn't as complicated as a wedding.

They didn't exchange wedding rings.

They stood at the altar and Rick announced the news. Then they both spoke about their story.

It was almost the end.

Rick turned around to look at Charlotte. His voice was gentle as he said, "I'm willing to let go of all my principles, suppress my innate nature and instinct and accompany you till the end of my life."

Charlotte instantly choked up with sobs.

She had more or less rehearsed through the previous procedure but she had never heard this speech before.

The entire engagement ceremony was, in fact, extremely unfair to Rick.

Rick had arranged everything, from the venue, to the guest, to the planning and the details.

Below the stage, Sheryl watched with her head tilted. This scene was quite touching. For some strange reason, she felt sadness in her heart. Even her palms were sweating profusely.

She still preferred her daddy.

She lowered her head and felt more and more depressed.
