Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 125

"Elaine, I don't care who he is. My dad just passed away, and you are now walking into the company with another man. Don't you feel shameless?" After deliberately pausing for a few seconds, she immediately said, "I forgot, you have always been shameless."

"Charlotte!"

"Elaine!"

Two voices rang out one after the other. Charlotte looked at Elaine hatefully. The volume of her voice instantly diminished so that only the two of them could hear it.

"Don't let me find out that you had something to do with my father's death. Otherwise, I will never let you go."

After saying that, she turned around and left without waiting for Elaine's reply. She clenched her fingers tightly into a fist without noticing it.

"Who is she?"

The man rubbed his chin and asked with a wretched expression. His gaze was focused on Charlotte, who was not far away.

"She's just a bitch."

As soon as she thought of what Charlotte had said just now, Elaine's face turned even paler.

This matter could definitely not be discovered by anyone!

Elaine comforted herself and was pushed into a seven-seater car by the man behind her.

After leaving, Charlotte returned to the office again. She stared at the design draft that had yet to be finalized and suddenly came up with an idea.

Two days later, the auction was held as organized.

As the person- in- charge from the Fuller Group, Charlotte's presence at the meeting was expected. However, no one could have expected that the usually mysterious head of the Fuller family, Shane, would show up here.

For a time, it became a hot topic for all the people in River City.

Charlotte glanced at the group of women surrounding the hall and rolled her eyes speechlessly.

The man walking in front of her seemed to have no self-awareness, so she could only approach him with her head lowered.

"Mr. Fuller, you're here too."

A middle- aged man with a beer belly was suddenly standing at the door. He stared flatteringly at Shane. He didn't give up even when Shane didn't speak. He looked at Charlotte following behind Shane and asked in confusion, "Who is this?"

Cole immediately walked up and explained expressionlessly, "This is the person in charge of this project, Ms. Charlotte."

"As expected, the Fuller Group is full of hidden talents. Such a young and beautiful woman could only be hired by your company. The new staff must be even better than the previous ones."

The middle- aged man continued without caring too much about the details of what he said.

Charlotte smiled and followed Shane, who had already walked far away. She couldn't help but complain internally, "Why are you walking so fast? Do you have to show off your long legs?"

Just as she sat down, she noticed that Elaine, who was flouncing her way over. Charlotte clenched her fists lightly on her legs.

She couldn't wait to tear up her fake mask!

"Lottie?"

Elaine pretended to be astonished as she looked at Charlotte. She walked over with a smile and put her gaze on the unsmiling man beside Charlotte. With a faint smile, she said, "Mr. Fuller, it's been a long time since we last met."

In the presence of that ugly face, Charlotte suddenly felt nauseated.

She really didn't know how someone could hide their true selves for so long.

What made Charlotte happy was that Shane was obviously ignoring Elaine. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that the Fuller Group held a monopoly of almost 80 per cent of River City's capital funds. How could the Emerson Corporation compare with it?

Elaine turned to look at the gloating Charlotte and a hint of craftiness flashed across her eyes. She said, "Lottie, when you have time, you should come home. Although your father was very angry that you kept some man's child, some of your things were not thrown away. You can go home to get them."

Charlotte could clearly sense that Elaine was saying this on purpose. She immediately looked over coldly, "Elaine, I left those things behind. If you want them, you can have them. If you don't want them, throw them away. I don't need anyone's pity."

"Lottie, you really misunderstood me..." Elaine pretended to be hurt.

She didn't believe that Shane wouldn't react when he heard about what happened between Charlotte and the other man.

Even if the man from five years ago was Shane, she knew very well that Shane wouldn't know about it.

"Get lost."

Shane said in a cold tone, which caused the surrounding atmosphere to change in an instant.

Charlotte slowly sat down and stretched her neck.

She didn't understand why this man was so angry when she was the one who should be angry. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

She simply decided not to think too much about it as the auction had already begun.

Upon hearing that a few companies were confident about winning this auction, the corners of Charlotte's mouth slowly curled up in a smile.

The person to present was Charlotte, but she still didn't feel very nervous.

Shane looked at the woman who was speaking fervently on the stage. She seemed completely different from the woman who was indecisive in private.

Elaine saw the outstanding woman on the stage and was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She turned her gaze slightly to look at Shane. She saw the feelings that were hidden there and Elaine's nails embedded themselves deeply into her flesh.

Why didn't such an outstanding man belong to her?

Just as Charlotte stepped off the stage, she noticed Shane's eyes, which were full of curiosity.

"What's wrong?"

Charlotte was a little confused. She looked at her clothes from top to bottom, only to find that there was nothing wrong with them.

"Nothing's wrong."

Shane slowly withdrew his eyes and focused on the pictures on the stage.

Upon seeing this, Charlotte habitually pouted her red lips. She looked at Cole who was sitting to one side and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Play, how was my presentation? Do you have any opinions?"

"It was-"

"Very great!" he thought.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Cole saw Shane's death glare. He could only swallow his saliva and hurriedly withdraw his gaze.

"It was?"

Charlotte continued to ask, somewhat annoyed.

How could someone just say half of what they mean? And she was very curious too!

"Ms. Emerson, look carefully at the proposals prepared by the other companies."

Cole couldn't help but wipe away the cold sweat on his forehead. His eyes were focused directly on the stage, no longer daring to look at the people next to him.

At the final, exciting moment, Charlotte held her breath and listened to the upcoming verdict.

Even if she had confidence in her work, getting to know the final result was a different matter.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Charlotte could almost hear her own heartbeat clearly. When she heard her own work being announced, she instantly stood up.

When the meeting was over, it was hard for Charlotte to conceal her excitement. Her slender and fair fingers were scrolling on the screen of her mobile phone.

When she received the notification tone for a text message, Charlotte reacted reflexively. She saw a text message with only a few words before her eyes.

"Congratulations, you've succeeded!"

At that moment, at NC Company, Christopher slowly put away his mobile phone that had just been used to send a text message. He closed the livestream video of the auction as if nothing had happened. Then he opened the filethat had been printed by his assistant.
