Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 235

"Shane, I don't mean to trouble you, but other than you, I can't think of anyone else." Charlotte's voice became even more hoarse.

Shane didn't believe her.

"Apart from Rick, who else have you contacted?"

"Nobody."

"You didn't contact Avery either?"

"I, I didn't think of him. If you're not willing to help me, I can ask him now!"

"Charlotte, I've already said that I'll take care of Sheryl's case."

"Really? I'm sorry. I'm in a mess. I'll be back soon. Let's talk about it when I'm back. Thank you."

Charlotte hung up the phone in a hurry.

She didn't seem to be in a very good mental state.

Shane put away his phone and turned to Cole. "Three things. The first one is to find Kendall, Elaine, and Sheryl. Second, ask our company's staff to find the best psychologist and get them ready. Third, ask Avery to tell Rick to cancel all the partnership with Jane Corporation." "Understood." Cole immediately answered in a polite manner.

"Give me the car keys."

"What happened?" Cole passed the key to Shane and asked, "Do we need to inform our man?"

"Sheryl was kidnapped. I suspect that Kendall and Elaine colluded in this. But there's no evidence so far. Go find the three of them first."

"Then you..."

"Christopher."

Looking at how Shane ran off, Cole suddenly thought of the first year when he worked with Shane.

At that time, he wasn't Shane's special assistant. He was only an ordinary assistant.

Shane looked serious and cold, but he gave him a pair of Hermes' gold- rimmed glasses on his birthday.

That pair of glasses suited him really well, so he had been wearing them until now.

Although Mr. Fuller might appear to be cold and emotionless, he actually cared a lot about others in private. But, of course, you have to mean something to him.

Well, the other assistants actually didn't receive such a good treatment.

Cole smiled when he thought about this and gently nudged his glasses.

Whether it was himself or Charlotte, they were all people that Mr. Fuller truly cared about.

Why Elaine?

It was very simple.

Kendall had just returned from overseas, so her local social network was only limited to the people around Rick. And based on NC's understanding of Jane Corporation, they had no place to hide in this country.

In other words, even if Kendall could kidnap Sheryl, she wouldn't know where to take Sheryl to.

Shane held onto the steering wheel, accelerating. The car had already exceeded the speed limit.

So, Kendall would definitely cooperate with someone.

This person definitely hated Charlotte. And this person must also be very familiar with the country and have even thought of kidnapping Charlotte to achieve their own objective.

This person could only be Elaine.

Shane's car stopped at the gate of Christopher's villa.

The deafening blare of the car honk forced the man inside to open the door. The moment Christopher pushed open the door and saw a car, he was very surprised.

"Shane?" Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Why did he come?

Shane got out of the car and tossed a document in front of him. "This is the base price of the bidding. Give me all the real estate addresses under Elaine's name."

Christopher narrowed his eyes and said with a gentle smile, "I can give you the addresses now, but you have to tell me who you are doing this for."

"It's none of your business."

"Is it Charlotte or Sheryl?"

Shane still didn't answer.

Christopher shook his head with a smile, took out his phone, and compiled all the data about Elaine for Shane. "Why don't you just let me help you find them?"

"That's too slow."

"Is it slower for me to ask her directly? Shane, are you that arrogant?"

Shane had already opened the data file at this moment. He scanned through all the addresses at one glance and sent one of the addresses to Cole. Kidnapping Sheryl would not be as easy as kidnapping Charlotte.

To kidnap an adult, one only needed to let them know the consequences. One could even pose some kind of threat to them, such as hurting them.

However, one had to be patient to kidnap a child.

Only one of Elaine's real estate was located next to a mall.

Shane threw the documents at Christopher and said in a cold and emotionless voice, "I am the answer."

Christopher held the file as intense fury aroused in his heart. He suppressed his emotions and said, "I didn't help you because of this case."

"If you wanted to help her, you shouldn't have teamed up with Elaine."

Shane walked away.

Christopher clenched the file in anger.

But that was the only thing he could do.

Charlotte was his limit. He wouldn't stop Shane, nor would he help Elaine in this case.

It was just that Shane didn't even hesitate to give him the bidding price. And that was enough to explain Charlotte's importance in his heart.

Christopher felt bitter.

Was he not even as determined and passionate as Shane when it came to loving someone?

Christopher stood still in his front yard for a very long time.

As soon as Charlotte's flight landed, she received a message from Shane.

She pushed her luggage and walked into the crowd at the airport, using one hand to dial Shane's number.

"Did you see the address I sent you?"

"I did."

"Cole and I are rushing over now. You're not too far away from there either. Head over there immediately."

"Kendall had just returned from overseas. She doesn't have many relations in River City. It's..."

"Elaine."

"She ruined my family, and now she doesn't even want to let my daughter go?" All Charlotte felt was sadness. "It's my fault. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have known her from the start, and I shouldn't have helped her either."

Shane noticed something unusual with her tone. He muted the call and asked, "Cole, have you found the psychologist?"

"Reporting to Mr. Fuller, the psychologist is already in the company."

Shane unmuted himself and said, "Don't overthink. Let's pick up Sheryl first."

"I've already booked a taxi."

Shane didn't end the call. Charlotte was in a baffled state and forgot that she was still talking on the phone too. When she arrived, she thought of calling Shane. It was until she looked at her phone did she realize that the call had been going on for more than 40 minutes.

She asked tentatively, "Shane, are you still there?"

"Yes."

I'm already downstairs."

"Wait for me."

"Can't I go up first? I'm afraid that something bad will happen to Sheryl." She bit her lips.

"Did Kendall call you after that?"

"No, she only said that she wants to see me at Jane Corporation before nine o'clock today. If she doesn't see me, she will not let me see Sheryl."

Shane let out a faint "mhm" and said, "So, you don't have to worry. Just wait for me."

Charlotte was deeply distressed, but for some reason, she felt at ease too.

She wanted to see Sheryl as soon as possible, but she was also worried that Kendall would find someone to keep an eye on her. What if she accidentally stepped into a trap...

In the end, Charlotte decided not to act impulsively and waited for Shane downstairs.

It was only ten minutes or so.

Shane and Cole had arrived.

Together with the two of them, there were four bodyguards in another car.

Charlotte was overjoyed when she saw Shane. She quickly walked up to him and asked, "Can we go upstairs now?"

Her face looked wan and haggard.

"Cole, you take them upstairs first."

"Yes."

After everyone had left.

Shane stretched out his hand and pulled Charlotte into an embrace. His slender fingers on the back of her head while he gently patted her back with his other hand.

Charlotte didn't move away. The luggage in her hand fell to the ground.

"No matter who you see later, keep calm. Leave it to me."

"Shane, I..."

"It all happened because of me. I'll take care of it."

Charlotte shook her head forcefully. "How can you say that it happened because of you? Even if you showed mercy to Kendall that day, she had no intention to talk it over because she could still think of kidnapping me and Sheryl. She only wanted to force me to surrender."

She really didn't think that Shane was wrong.

Even if he didn't help her to deal with Kendall that day, Charlotte knew that Kendall wouldn't let her go easily.

To put it bluntly, it was Kendall's fault. How could Shane say that it was because of him?

"Well, that proves that you still have a conscience." The man let go of her. His thin lips curved into a smile. But his smile somewhat carried a sense of mockery.

"Shane, you didn't say that to test me, did you?"

Looking at his expression, Charlotte felt that she had been tricked by him.

She felt that he never thought that it was his fault. He was just trying to see her reaction.
