Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 248

"We now have the information, shipping routes, and technique. All we need to do is to turn the tables and we can cause issues for their shipping routes," Shane said in a light tone. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"That..."

"You're not ruthless enough."

Shane pointed out Charlotte's biggest problem with just one sentence.

The fact that she could think of holding up the cargo proved that she had the intention at least to mess with the Emerson Corporation. But since she only wanted to hold up the cargo, it meant that her methods were not cruel enough.

Holding up the cargo would have no effect in a day or two days, and a few months of it might not hurt them badly but would cause them to have a deficit. If they did it for a year, it would hurt the Emerson Corporation, but at the same time, it would cause them some issues too.

She still wanted to be courteous with them. She wanted them to suffer a loss, but she didn't want to go too far.

She was too idealistic.

"I see. We have to hit them where it hurts, so that they won't hit us back."

"You're smart."

"Then, can you tell me which company you're working in? I want to..."

She wanted to do something for him.

Shane didn't answer directly. A few seconds later, he said the name of the company.

Charlotte had heard of this company before. It was also one of the companies in the shipping partnership, and they had a good relationship with Mr. Cullen.

"Wait, Shane, are we still in the shipping partnership?"

"Yes."

"So then..."

"It's inevitable that we'll encounter them."

Charlotte nodded solemnly, but deep inside, she was sighing.

To her and Shane right now, the shipping partnership was definitely not very helpful. In fact, they could even be considered enemies. Under such circumstances, they still had to go to meetings for it.

The situation was akin to them trying to outwit the other.

Charlotte was a little worried, but more than that, she was looking forward to it.

She knew that she was walking into danger, but that thrilled her.

The next day.

Charlotte and Shane arrived at the office together.

Sheryl was with Cole and the newly hired tutor. At noon, she also sent a message to them.

Charlotte took out her phone and watched the video sent by Sheryl. All of her exhaustion seemed to have vanished in an instant.

"Mr. Fuller, Ms. Emerson."

He pushed the door open and walked into the office.

Charlotte came to her senses and raised her head to look at the door. "What's wrong?"

"I found out that Jane Corporation has obtained shares of Emerson Corporation recently, so I can conclude that Rick is cooperating with Christopher," Peter said.

Rick was cooperating with Christopher.

Charlotte started to have a headache.

I see.

"In addition, we still haven't found any trace of Tiffany, but from her behavior, she has already disappointed Mr. Fuller, so she is very likely..." Peter did not continue.

"Alright," Charlotte replied.

Peter left.

For some reason, Charlotte's gaze turned to Shane. Was Tiffany's loss of control within his expectations?

Shane noticed that she was looking at him. He looked up at her and asked, "Hm?"

"You and Tiffany..."

"We'll talk about it later."

Fine then.

Since Shane said that, Charlotte definitely wouldn't ask any more questions.

When it was time to get off work, Charlotte took her documents and walked to the underground parking lot. When she came to her car, she had a vague feeling that something was wrong. She felt a chill on her back.

She shook her head and dispelled the ominous feeling. She raised her wrist and looked at her watch. Shane had only agreed to meet in a minute.

Charlotte leaned against the car as she flipped through the documents.

In two days, she would go to the shipping partnership meeting. It would be the best time to help Shane regain his position then. She did not want Shane to be looked down on.

"Charlotte!"

The voice sounded a little familiar.

Charlotte turned around and looked toward the source of the sound suspiciously.

In almost a split second, before she could react, she saw a knife in Shane's abdomen. Shane's eyes were cold and his face was calm as he stood in front of her.

Shane was bleeding a lot. Charlotte immediately helped him up. I'm calling the police right now."

"Tiffany, it's not enough for you to kill your sister. Who else do you want to kill now?"

Tiffany Allen.

It was only then that Charlotte looked toward the person who started the fight.

Was this Tiffany Allen?

In her impression, Tiffany was generous, sweet, and charming, but the person in front of her was clearly a madwoman. Her hair was messy and her face was gaunt.

People said that taking drugs would be harmful to one's health. From the looks of Tiffany's current state, she must have been taking drugs for a long

time.

Tve been in love with you since I was ten. You told me to wait for you and I did. So why did you publicize your relationship with her?" Tiffany's voice was sharp as she pointed at Charlotte. "Didn't you like my sister? Don't I have a face similar to hers?"

He liked his sister...

Was it Heidi Allen?

Charlotte was calling the police when she heard the conversation between the two of them. Her fingers stiffened a little.

"You're being unreasonable," Shane said. Then he leaned against the car directly and closed his eyes to rest, no longer paying attention to Tiffany.

Tiffany didn't run away. She was in a state of madness. She kept talking about liking Shane all these years without much coherence.

After she called for the police and ambulance, Charlotte put away her phone. She took the key from Shane's pocket and opened the car door. She helped him get into the car to sit.

She was afraid that he would lose too much blood, so she did not help him pull out the knife.

"And, you said that I killed my sister, but I didn't kill her. Didn't you get kidnapped and got my sister into trouble?" Tiffany glared at Shane with hatred in her eyes. "You killed my sister. It wasn't me!"

"The kidnappers from back then have already admitted that you instructed them to kidnap me."

"That's impossible. They were sentenced to death a long time ago!"

"I forgot to tell you that, in order to investigate the truth, the case wasn't closed."

Shane's voice was so cold that it could make you tremble.

Tiffany never expected that Shane already had such a thoughtful mind even when he was seventeen or eighteen years old.

"I don't believe it. Those people must have been dead at that time. They were the murderers who killed my sister. It wasn't me!" Tiffany denied.

She couldn't admit it.

Once she admitted it, she would lose everything.

It wasn't easy for her to stay by Shane's side. If she could get rid of Charlotte, she would be able to replace Charlotte like she did her older sister.

She was just one step away.

If only Shane wasn't with Charlotte now.

She had clearly found out that Shane had been looking for a job recently, so he didn't have time to deal with Charlotte. How did he end up appearing by Charlotte's side?

Was her luck really that bad?

Soon.

The police and paramedics arrived at the scene.

Tiffany confessed to having hurt Shane with a knife, so the police took her directly to the police station.

Charlotte helped Shane into the ambulance and would follow him to the hospital in it.

"Miss, you'd better go to the police station and give your statement," the policeman reminded her.

"I'm sorry, I'm not in the right state of mind to give a statement now. I want to confirm my...my friend's condition first before going. Is that alright?"

The policeman nodded. "Only good will come from you giving your statement. You can decide when you want to go on your own. I will report directly to the hospital for the investigation records."

"Okay, thank you." Charlotte watched the policeman leave.

At this time, Shane was already lying on the ambulance's stretcher.

Charlotte sat down beside him and found that his wound had been treated by the paramedics. His bleeding had stopped for the time being.

"Are you alright?"

"We're only friends?" Shane's focus was on something completely different from hers.

He had taken this knife for her, which meant that he did not care whether he was injured or not, much less how injured he would get.

But she actually said that they were only friends.

This made Shane unhappy.

"I..." Charlotte was at a loss for words.

She just did not know how to address him. She couldn't call him her husband, since they weren't married. She couldn't call him her fiance either, since they weren't engaged.

No matter what she said, it seemed that nothing was right.

That was why.

She had used the word "friend".
