Chapter 175
Rick moved closer at once, but Shane was one step ahead of him in getting to the doctor. His gaze darkened as he took a step back.
Anne was very anxious when she saw this scene. She muttered, "What's wrong with my brother? Why did he let Shane talk to the doctor first? It's all because of Shane that Charlotte was like this!"
"Your brother... has a good character." Only Braden dared to say so.
He was stuck between Shane and his wife.
He could afford to upset neither of them.
Anne rolled her eyes. "But of course. If it weren't for his good character, I wouldn't have hooked the two of them up. My brother treats people better than Shane does."
Braden touched his nose helplessly. What could he do if his wife loved her brother?
After Shane had finished his inquiries, Rick had already returned to the ward with Charlotte. This time, he didn't stop Shane from seeing Charlotte.
After all, judging from his behavior, he still cared about her.
The only thing was. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
The fire within him that wanted to ruin NC Company and the Fuller family was still burning brightly in his heart.
When he saw that Charlotte was in so much pain, Rick couldn't help but vent his anger on Shane.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't take care of his own phone, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened.
Rick took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "Mr. Fuller, the incident has occurred and you've seen Charlotte. What's your next move?"
"I'll look into it."
"What you mean is, until now, you still don't know who touched your phone, right?" Rick lifted his gaze and pushed.
"I have no obligation to tell you."
"Then please leave, Mr. Fuller. You're not welcome here."
It was rare for Rick to have such a firm attitude.
Shane didn't make a move. Rick couldn't suppress his anger and threw a punch at him.
Shane could sense the punch coming.
Shane slightly leaned to the side to dodge. He used the bedside table to stabilize his body, and then he retracted his body.
Rick didn't succeed, but he had calmed down. He went back to the bedside, looked at the person on the bed, and said with a sullen expression, "I've made myself very clear. I will find the person who hurt her at all costs."
"You don't have the right to deal with my people."
"Oh? It seems that you already know who the person is. Why are you hiding it? Let me guess, it's Tiffany All..."
"Rick."
The woman in the hospital bed suddenly spoke.
Rick's words came to an abrupt end.
He bent down, and the expression on his face became gentle. "Lottie, you're awake."
"There's no need to say so much. I don't care about what happened. Mr. Fuller, please don't disturb Sheryl and me again in the future." Charlotte licked her lips as she spoke.
Rick immediately brought her a cup of water. She took a sip and continued, "You're here to settle this privately. I've already stated my conditions, Mr. Fuller. If you are not satisfied, we can see each other in court."
Charlotte was even calmer than Rick was. She didn't show any emotion.
Shane frowned and said, "It has nothing to do with her..."
"No matter what, this matter has nothing to do with me either. As long as you can settle your personal affairs, Mr. Fuller, there's no need to report it to us."
Rick suddenly smiled.
Charlotte stretched out her hand and held Rick's hand gently. As she looked at his haggard appearance, she said with distress, "I only hope that the wound on my neck can be healed before we get married."
"It will. If it doesn't, we can postpone the wedding until you get better."
"Rick, if you spoil me like this, I will be a second Anne."
"You can do whatever you want." His voice grew softer and softer.
Charlotte suddenly moved forward, and Rick was stunned. Was she trying to get him to kiss her?
His body leaned slightly downward.
Shane left suddenly, the door slamming loudly, which made the whole building quiet for a few seconds.
Only then did Charlotte lean her body backward and lie on the bed. She winked at Rick and said, "Good cooperation."
"It seems that you know Shane very well." Rick straightened up.
She smiled.
This was Shane's character.
"Are you really going to give up the investigation?" He sat down and held her hand. "After you suffered so much these few days, how can you just let him go like this?"
"At this point, let everything come to an end. The person I'm letting go of is myself."
Rick nodded and said nothing more.
After all, for him, if Charlotte were to let go of Shane, his chances of success would be greater.
A black car was parked in the most renowned wealthy area of River City.
Cole got out of the car first and went to the back seat to open the door. "Mr. Fuller, we've arrived."
The man who was resting against the back seat opened his eyes. He nodded and stepped his slender legs out of the car.
Cole closed the door and led the way to a big villa. He entered the password and went into the house with Shane.
Various kinds of plastic products were thrown about.
Even Cole, a smoker, couldn't stand the strong smell of cigarettes in the living room. He reached out and waved his hand in front of his nose. "Mr. Fuller, we..."
"Get them out."
"Yes, sir."
A few female celebrities in fur coats were chased into the garden by Cole. They looked like they had taken something and seemed confused.
The last person to be brought before Shane was Tiffany Allen.
Her head swayed to and fro and she seemed to be in a bad state.
Shane took a step back in disgust and pointed at Tiffany. Cole bowed respectfully, pulled Tiffany to the rockery in the garden. He pulled her hair and put her head into the pond.
As Tiffany choked on the water, she suddenly woke up.
She struggled.
Cole released her and threw her before Shane. "Mr. Fuller." "Where is the phone?" Shane looked down at her.
"What, what cell phone, I don't know..." Tiffany was completely aware at this time, but she was determined to play dumb to the end.
Shane took out a tablet and played her a video. "I didn't expect that my assistant would be working for you."
Video?
How could there be surveillance footage!
Tiffany immediately moved forward and held Shane's leg tightly. "Shane, I just wanted to teach Charlotte a little lesson. You care so much about her, but she has been disparaging you!"
"Disparaging me?" Shane leaned over and pulled her away from him. "Be more specific."
"I'm telling the truth. She's spreading rumors. She said that when she was at NC Company, you were very hostile to Christopher. She also said that..."
"Say it."
"She also said that you haven't had a girlfriend in so long or gotten married because you have feelings for Christopher. That's why he's been holding onto the shares after he left you."
Would Charlotte do such a thing?
Shane didn't believe it.
However, he was not sure whether these words were true or not.
Shane's eyes darkened. "You got someone to take a nude photo of her just for this?"
"I just wanted to teach her a lesson. I didn't know she would get herself hurt." Tiffany looked at Shane pitifully. "Shane, I grew up with you. I admit that I messed this up, but I did it for you."
"I kept you on because of Heidi. You'd better get that clear." Shane's voice was very cold.
"Of course I know. I don't usually make trouble for you."
"It just so happens that the Brightshine scandal still hasn't cleared up yet. You should go overseas and study for a while."
Although Tiffany was dissatisfied, she did not say anything but nodded obediently instead.
As she watched Shane's back as he left, she smiled proudly.
So what if she had to go abroad?
After such a thing had happened, Charlotte and Shane's relationship would definitely worsen.
Even if he sent her abroad for a while, she could still return to become Mrs. Fuller.
Whether it was the current Charlotte or Heidi in the past, neither of them were a match for her.
When it came to Shane, she was determined to win!
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.
On the day that Charlotte could be discharged from the hospital, she heard from Rick's secretary that Tiffany had been sent to J Country. It was said that Shane had invested in three advertisements in one breath and sent her to work while taking cultural classes.
Needless to say, the issue with the phone had been Tiffany's doing
When she saw that no one was speaking, Anne broke the silence. "Lottie, does this count as Shane's explanation to you?"
